Pokemon Shiny Gold On Gpsphone Kanto

(2 PART). UP TO Weissmies. MTS 4027.

came the day of the ascent to the peak Weissmies. People at the shelter has been the alarm to 4:30 am, but we still slackers in bed until about six, when we have breakfast. Has left a cloudy day, but at least it does not snow, so quick breakfast and half an hour later we are at the foot of Glacier Trift.

Photobucket


Cracks in the lower part of Glacier are impressive but nothing dangerous as they look very good, only have to go on board, so we decided not encordanos yet.

Photobucket


We were probably the last to leave the shelter, people come out very soon and then takes quite a climb to the summit, but we carry a high rate wrath allowing us to spend all day cordate .

Photobucket


Crack with an ice bridge at the end of it. Another reason to go up soon is that ice is safer to first thing in the morning as the cold of the night has hardened.

Photobucket
We

seracs the area and time not just with us, moreover, increasingly puts us over the fog and it is difficult to see beyond a few meters in front of you.

Photobucket


stop and I take a fotillo Oscar entering the zone of crevasses.

Photobucket


will skirt the mountain on the right, to get the snow shovels without much inclination and without the danger of icebergs that can break off at any time.

Photobucket


detachments of summer have made this ice cave you have to pass up. Oscar takes a quick picture me and pouring milk for above that this may fall, in addition to the other side the slope gets it.

Photobucket

cordate
One that we face ahead of the final edge. We stopped for a drink and ring. It seems that the day will open and enjoy the view from the top.

Photobucket


fight the sun out, but .............

Photobucket


......... summit and we do this.

Photobucket


We used less than three hours to climb to the top of Weissmies of 4,027 meters above sea level, because we have risen at a rate quite fast, but the views from the summit is not to recreate: FOG AND MIST ONLY.

Photobucket
We

some time at the top, eat, drink and make some photos of other member that we are asked, the time is not improved, so we agreed to get down to the shelter.
Oscar, as a good villager Matalpino, no jacket and below zero, you just have to see the face of cold you have.

Photobucket


quietly went down and we will stay another night in the shelter to try the other four thousand that are in the area, Lagginhorn. We stopped several times to take pictures. This is one of the many cracks We stumble up and stumble we fall. They are very, very dangerous. Are covered by snow which has fallen throughout the morning and some are completely covered, not seeing them until you have tucked the leg at the hip or whole body several hundred feet below the glacier. In these circumstances it is very important to get strings, especially not to fall only, jejejejeje.

Photobucket


¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ cuidadin !!!!!!!!!!

Photobucket


We reached the end of the glacier and go from the refuge and is still doing a little "goat" we chose the latter. We take off weight off, we get comfortable and we apply the jump of the crack.

Photobucket


have to climb to take advantage of the outstanding run and hit a good jump without hesitation when jumping. Some of those who fall, as the Swiss green in the picture, they stare and waiting to call the rescue helicopter.

Photobucket


is still too early, are not 11:00 in the morning, so we were "exploring" some of the larger cracks .....

Photobucket
......... and doing

ice climbing techniques.

Photobucket


final details of the glacier. It is difficult to explain as you have reached this piece of "rock" up there.

Photobucket


A Triftgletscher exit point.

Photobucket


seracs These will be next fall.

Photobucket


Three hours before you could not see ten yards and now we're down the sky clears and reveals the Weissmies. It is tempting to pick up and go again to enjoy the view from the top.

Photobucket

front
appears in the clouds one of the four thousand that we get into these days: Alphubel of 4,206 meters and is located across the valley.

Photobucket


And again in the shelter almost reaches the sky cleared and made up warmth. Is the last day to see the sun in Switzerland, but that is overtaking the events. Here are referred to the peak we have been only two hours earlier.

Photobucket


Oscar inside the shelter. A couple of beers, some food, a nap, little game of cards and dinner the previous day and piltra, tomorrow we will try to make the Lagginhorn.

Sunflower State Wedding Bags

SWISS ALPS (3 PART). DOWN A SAAS GRUND

Lagginhorn board the plays today, to 4,010 meters. But when we got up very early this is what we see through the window so heavy snows.

Photobucket


He must have snow during the night and the cracks were dangerous today than yesterday will be impossible. The refuge is a part missing that atmosphere meteorological and mountaineer, where you talk to other climbers on the status of the route, the difficulty of a bill, etc, etc, so common in the mountain huts. That if watching TV yesterday (riiiiiiight, the shelter has 50-inch flat screen TV!) Is was a murmur of disappointment when they gave the news about the time he would do during the coming days.

Photobucket


Just after seven o'clock, the sky clears and we left we see the mountains across the valley. This is the Alphubel of 4,206 mts.

Photobucket


Pico Täschhorn of 4.491mts.

Photobucket
Pico Dom

of 4.545mts, the highest altitude of this valley.

Photobucket



And Stecknadelhorn and Dürrenhorn peaks of 4,241 meters and 4,034 meters.

Photobucket


This is what happens exactly three minutes after taking the above photos, witness live the mountain known as "brown mess."

Photobucket


black clouds, very black, you're going to cover everything in a matter of minutes. When this happens to you on the outside is very worrying, but when you see the other side of these windows you see as illusory.

Photobucket
We

time for two hours we talked with several people who tell us that today will be snowing all day and that the forecast for the following days are not very good. So decided to suspend the accession to Laggihorn and get down to Saas Grund to spend across the valley where we assume that having more peaks and shelters will be more "movement" on the mountain.

Photobucket


Before leaving and seeing that the weather is so mild, we take something on the terrace of the shelter.

Photobucket


just out and already we miss the warmth of the interior.

Photobucket


continue with our idea of \u200b\u200bnot using the lifts, so we went down a foot to Kreuzboden, which is an intermediate station of the gondola. In the upper part has but as we have fallen snow snow becomes water, which is even more annoying.

In Kreuzboden, after falling 800 meters. altitude, a kind of rent bicycles or scooters, backpacks let us bring them down in the gondola and begin to enjoy some of the descent.

Photobucket


But when I asked to rent the dishes, the guy looks at us thinking we're crazy to go down with it is falling.

Photobucket


¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Aguita !!!!!!!!!!

Photobucket


And more water. At first we try not to get wet a lot, but it is impossible and after ten minutes we are up and down drafts. So, as the saying goes, "Without a Paddle."

Photobucket


A little bit of balance. The devices that they are stripped down, no saddle or pedals, or cushioning, but with the wheels they spend the latter is not necessary. Also, weigh enough, so quickly grab cane.

Photobucket


Logs on the way down.

Photobucket


Now get to do a little trial.

Photobucket


We still have a while to get to Saas Grund, which is what you see down there.

Photobucket


Throughout the fall did not stop raining for a second, less evil than the Goretex holds.

Photobucket


Oscar before you leap and left the pines.

Photobucket


We reached the top of Saas Grund and seeing the houses with smoking chimneys like to go somewhere to warm up a bit.

Photobucket

Swiss
little cabin.

Photobucket


Church.

Photobucket
Cruz

typical of the area.

Photobucket


about to get to Saas Grund.

Photobucket


No more good. We arrived at the base of the gondola that is where we must return the "scooter." It has taken just over an hour because we stopped a few times and we are definitely not tired. Yes, fancy a hot rosette spray.

Photobucket


seek a hotel and found it. Well (more or less, one should not exaggerate), nice and cheap. People who Regents are very Majete and one of them tells me he has been in Tenerife four times.

Photobucket


rosette spray, change of clothes, beans COAST, nap and went for a walk. Today take the opportunity to see the weather forecast, find out how they can be paths to the peaks and see where we go tomorrow. Pictured another house with dwarfs.

Photobucket


In the afternoon we decided to take the car and approach the Mattmark reservoir. The water falls through innumerable waterfalls along the road.

Photobucket


Another waterfall.

Photobucket


And in fifteen minutes that has not stopped raining for a single moment we Mattmark Stauss. This is the artificial reservoir built to higher electricity production in Europe, at almost 2,200 meters. altitude. It has a depth of 93 meters. and is fed by the glaciers that surround it. In 1965 during construction, a portion of Glacier Peak Allalin slumped and killed 88 workers.

Photobucket


And, damn, that does not stop raining.

Photobucket


Beside the dam is a restaurant. We get to dry off and drink ....

Photobucket


....... and I make a picture Oscar, surely because he has grown so much water "something" in the head, jijijiji.

Photobucket


At night pasta dinner at a restaurant and we're soon to piltra because tomorrow we will climb to Saas Fee and then to retreat Längfluh.
