Ogladaj M Jak Milosc Streaing Free

SWISS ALPS (5 PART). UP TO Allalinhorn (4,023 MTS)

At six o'clock, when we put the clock, the weather was very unpleasant. Snow and fog obscures more than three feet, so we decided to stay in bed and await developments.

At eight time seems to change, so we take the junk and throw up. Before we took some pictures from the terrace of the retreat of the glacier in its upper Feegletscher.

My brother posing on the terrace. It seems that opens a window of good weather, but ..............

The shelter is located on a spectacular site. It is eight and have not yet reached the cooks, so we eat up breakfast and let us "pray" for the time we respect.

And the goal of the day: Allalinhorn peak of 4027 meters. You can see the ski lifts still work even though we are in August. Many national teams train here during the summer months preparing for the international competing tests from September.

late summer
cracks in the glacier are scary.

already with tackle positions, pull upwards with the intention of the summit before three in the afternoon, then down to the shelter to spend the night in it and try another morning rush.

Because of the fog that soon gets out, we find the "path" and cross the dangerous glacier to reach the ski slopes. Here on the tracks the only danger is that you keep a skier ahead.

Photobucket


we still have at least 500 meters of altitude when the time eventually break down completely. Snow, wind and cold and on top, opening track without knowing if below the snow fall back on these days there is a crack in the area there. Come on, it gets tricky.

The thickness of snow at high altitudes there is extraordinary.

And oddly enough, to almost 3500 meters of altitude in Switzerland there is a metro station where we get to warm up a bit and think about what we do. Oscar misses his accordion with which we could have gotten a few Swiss francs from car to car singing a beautiful melody and saying that which we have heard we have been in the subway of Madrid: "Tristian pidil is moo, but Pior steal, a little help eat it queess pa, pa not get high."

Above the station, is the highest revolving restaurant in the world since announcing its beautiful views you can not enjoy because it looks beyond 5 meters.

eat something, we warmed up and see how they train those who surely will be competing in World Cup skiing within a few years, Kid that his face should not spend 14 years, but they are authentic wardrobes. After some thought, decided that the peak Allalin we will have to leave for another day. Better a withdrawal is still time to get into one brown that can be very difficult to leave.

descended from the same place on the climb. We left the tracks and before entering the glacier we found this signal. Gletscherspalten, which translated into a Christian is that if you fall into one of these cracks, escojonas you badly. No one must know the language to know that Gletscher means breaking or splitting and Spalter back. Translation: do not fall back you depart, as little, lol.

Photobucket


These cracks are giants, but they are too dangerous. The dangerous are those buried and come to be until you slip into them.

These are the fucking, which are buried and cross the glacier from side to side. In a lot like this happens the "incident" the day. I approached to take some photos when the ground disappears beneath my feet and fall into one of these cracks. Luckily I strings and with the help of Oscar I leave the crack with the fate of not releasing the camera in the fall. That if I have fallen into bad posture and I hurt my knee, but I do not notice the scare at the time.

Photobucket


The fall occurs ten minutes before coming to the shelter, almost dangerous in the last area of \u200b\u200bthe glacier. Once at the shelter noticed that I have not got the knee well. We announced that the meteorological part snow for the next three days, which coupled with my battered knee withdrawal forces us to sing and pull to Saas Fee.

Photobucket


quickly finish the show (including two Swiss blankets, hehehehe) and we have left to lose 1100 meters of altitude, with backpacks loaded with supplies for several days, sack, rope, and my left knee I danced at every step. So, without a precedent, we take the lift that we will leave Saas Fee in less than fifteen minutes.

Photobucket


I entertain at the drop taking place some fotillos on the climb.

An ideal place for all kinds of sports.

Casitas Saas Fee.

crossed all Saas Fee up to the station where we catch the bus to take us to Saas Grund, which is where the hotel where We left the car.

Photobucket


With one of these houses I was content.

Once at the hotel we showered and had dinner prontito. The knee begins to hurt and tomorrow we expect 1700 km. car. It was not the best getaway we could dream Alps, but this force us to have to come the year I came.
Once in Madrid, seven days to be exact, I get an X-ray confirms that there is no break, so I am doing a little bit of goat. In Tenerife, and due to continued pain I have to do an MRI, as of the fall and not have stopped train, which confirms I have a left lateral ligament strain in grade II. Result: 10 days with the leg up and one month almost stopped.

Next year: more and better.
