Feechopf. 9.00am, 08/08/12 There is some quite delicate scrambling involved in this traverse, with an abseil stake in the narrow slot at the top of this, the last and highest, section.
Alphubel. 9.25am, 08/08/12 The obvious line from the Alphubeljoch is the south-east ridge, which would be quite straightforward were it not for the Eisnase, a steepening above where the snow narrows, which in summer is often bare ice. Well, I've seen it icier than it is here, but it still looked icy enough to make the 3800m contour track an attractive option.
