Matterhorn #2, training climb in Dri Hornli

Posted on by Alpine Ascents
- Posted in: Cybercasts

Hello and greeting from the Saas Allmegeller valley. We just finished up eating a wonderful meal up here at the Hut. We are at a typical swiss historic but just below the Wiessmes at around 3000m

Today we climbed a fun and exciting rock traverse on the Dri Hornli. This rock traverse was a great way for us to warm up our legs and arms on some technical climbing. Tomorrow we hope to climb the Wiessmes 4038m. We will return to this hut in the after and spend the night to continue our acclimatizing process.

Here is a picture from today and remember you can follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more photos.
