We started at 3:15 am at the Tchierva Hut. It was not difficult to find the route even though it was dark, because the approach was well marked with cairns and a few reflectors. Once we reached the upper glacier, we crossed west to the start of the "Eselsgrat". It was daylight by then, and two more parties approached to climb the ridge.
The conditions for the climb were ideal: the rock was dry, with difficulties up to III, bolts and belays when necessary.
Roland just before the first crux. Ahead of him a second party.
We left the ridge, and approached the "Schneekuppe", climbing the glacier.

I was exhausted and did not feel to climb the summit, so Roland went along to climb it himself.

Meanwhile I was enjoying the impressive views over to Piz Scercen (left) and Piz Zupo (background) with part of the Bellavista terrace and Piz Palü. A party climbed Piz Scercen today .... when will we be standing on this summit?
