"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

1st 12 thousander 41 years ago!The Blumlisalphorn was my first 12 thousander and 3rd alpine peak in 1973. I climbed it a second time in 1985, when I also did the traverse from Wyssi Frau to Morgenhorn.

NE Ridge from Wyssi FrauClimbed with Moni. We climbed the NW Ridge of the Wyssi Frau to obtain the crest of the classic traverse. This looked like (and was I am sure) a more interesting route than slogging up the Morgenhorn.
