Route Climbed: NW Ridge Date Climbed: August 10th, 2005
We started at the Mönchsjochütte and traversed the Gross Fiescherhorn. Ascend over NW ridge and descend over SE ridge to Fieschersattel. Then descend to Finsteraarhornhütte. There was a lot of snow on NW ridge (AD) and hard, cold wind tried to blow us of the ridge. Nice exposed climb.
Route Climbed: normal routes Date Climbed: 1995 - 2001
1) July 26th 1995 Gross-Fiescherhorn:
As a daytrip from Finsteraarhorn hut. The ascent through the seracs of the Fiescher glacier was impressive. Above that it was a long walking until the final ridge was reached. Thist ridge could be done without crampons, but we stayed on the rope. Most impressive is the view to the Finsterarhorn
2) May 24th 2001 Hinter-Fiescherhorn:
On out traverse through the Bernese Alps we climbed Fieschersattel pass from Konkordia hut which was very steep and had a bergshrund. Weather developped worse but we climbed Hinter-Fiescherhorn in the clouds, with almost no sight. Thank god there were ski tracks on the glacier that we could follow. The downhill through the seracs was more easy than I had expected from my summer trip. We reached Finsteraarhorn hut and stayed there two more days.
From the Mönchjochhütte. You traverse out into the north face just before reaching the summit. Big air and major pucker. Traversed over to the Hinterfiescherhorn before descending to the Ewigschneefeld and back to the Mönchsjochhütte. Did the East Face of the Mönch the following day.
Watching the sun rise was one of the most beautiful mornings I have had the pleasure to experience!
