Weissmies Traverse | June
27th - 29th 2006 (Solo)
This summer I travelled to Swiss Alps right
after the midsummer. My first ascent would be
the traverse of Weissmies (4043 m.) starting
from the Armageller Hut and descending to Weissmies
Hut for overnight. Rain forced me to stay in
the hut for two nights instead of one. I started
for the route very late when the rain turned
to snow at 7 a.m. on 29th. The visibility was
poor so I tried to make the most of the broad
ridge. I reached the summit without incidents
but the way down the other side turned out to
be almost too adventurous. Spindrift had covered
the trails so I had hard time trying to figure
out the safest way down through the heavily
crevassed slopes. Not being acclimatized yet
I was quite tired when I reached the Weissmies
Hut.
