Life in the Swiss Alps

Teaching, Traveling, Hiking, Climbing, Skiing ... and Hopefully Summiting

Friday, September 10, 2010


One of our first day hikes. Matterhorn in background.


Rall, Me, Lindsay and Alice (teachers) in front of the Matterhorn.



Above the cloudline. View from Breithorn summit.
Some of the kids that I will be teaching with the "Smoking Matterhorn" in the background...
FREEZING HANDS!

Putting crampons on before summiting on Breithorn.


Slowly making our way to the summit, all tethered together.
Breithorn ascent, Hour 2.
Some of the kids were suffering from altitude sickness, both on the way up and down.  Luckily I was not one of those unfortunate few.

View from Breithorn summit. Italy in the distance.
Serious elevation gain.





Breithorn summit!
