  • SW ridge of the Lagginhorn.<br /> <br /> 10am, 07/09/02
  • Lagginhorn summit.<br /> <br /> 10.30am, 07/09/02
  • Weissmies from the Lagginhorn.<br /> <br /> 11.30, 07/09/02<br /> <br /> ~ The normal route up the Weissmies, on to which wild horses would have difficulty in dragging me, winds its way up that disorderly glacier on the right.
  • Fletschhorn and Lagginhorn from across the Saastal.<br /> <br /> 10am, 08/09/02
  • The Italian face of Monte Rosa, from the Joderhorn.<br /> <br /> 2pm, 19/08/03
  • Strahlhorn from the Joderhorn.<br><br>2.30pm, 19/08/03<br><br> ~ This view might surprise someone who has only seen the Strahlhorn from the opposite (Zermatt) side, where it appears as a pure snow peak. The SE face of the Allalinhorn (equally Jekyll-and-Hyde) is on the right.
  • Warm afternoon on a dry glacier (Hohlaubgletscher).<br /> <br /> 3pm, 22/8/03
  • From the Allalinhorn, looking over the Egginergrat to Fletschhorn, Lagginhorn and Weissmies.<br /> <br /> 10am, 23/8/03
  • Last bit of the Allalinhorn descent to Mittelallalin.<br><br>11.30am, 23/08/03<br><br>~ <i>Dangers: . . . the main risk is of being run down by a speed-drunk skier</i>, says Goedeke. And I thought he was joking.
  • From the Gross Bigerhorn, looking across the Rhône Valley to the Oberland.<br /> <br /> 9am, 26/8/03
  • Nadelhorn and its neighbours, from the Balfrin.<br /> <br /> 11am, 26/8/03<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ~ Ulrichshorn, Lenzspitze, Dom, Nadelhorn, Stecknadelhorn, Hohberghorn.<br /> <br /> The Gross Bigerhorn - Balfrin traverse from the Bordier hut deserves to be better known, for the views are quite exceptional. Nothing is harder than PD.
