A first visit to the Tamok valley. This is a quiet and dramatic area with some STEEP sided mountains giving an opportunity for ascents of all grades. Adne Olsrud is the local guide and avalanche forecaster who rents out accommodation and is a fund of knowledge.

Oberland Traverse April 2018

Description
This tour crossed the Bernese Oberland from Kandersteg to the Grimsel Pass, following in the tracks of Arnold Lunn, who made the first full traverse in 1909. There were some long days, including 2000m of ascent on the first day followed by a night in the unguarded Mutthornhütte. However good weather meant we completed the whole traverse in a week, including an ascent of the Finsteraarhorn – the highest peak in the Oberland.

Eugster Couloir

Description
A great run down the north side of the Aiguille du Midi in the Chamonix valley. It is advisable to take some mountaineering kit for this ski as it is over a glacier and there are also some rappells on the way down. Not for the faint hearted.

Breche Nonne Eveque

Description
This is a small couloir faintly visible up above the Mer de Glace between the Chapoura refuge and the Aiguille Verte. It can be accessed by a fairly easy skin up the back side and then a short 30m climb to the top, but that would miss out on checking out the conditions on the way up, so we climbed up it as well. There was a spot of ice climbing at the bottom.
