Gornergrat - rammed |
A month passed in Switzerland and it has been very pleasant, climbing, hiking, chilling and even doing a bit of touristing. Compared to last year the weather has been pretty unsettled for the whole period, though on the plus side, it hasn't been too hot - last May/June was withering. Around eighty routes completed so far and some great crags visited.
What has been pleasant has been the lack of people, with the notable exception of Zermatt/Gornergrat (top right) which was packed - 90% of the tourists appeared to be Chinese/Japanese ticking Europe - next stop Venice or Santorini maybe?

Arolla - tranquillity |
We need to think about heading homeward soon - 10 months since we locked the door and headed south. The car needs a service and so de we - doctors, dentist etc - we need to get an overhaul ready for the the next trip - I wonder where that will be to, I am sure Sherri has some plans?
