Atskats uz vienu no interesantākajiem, skaistākajiem un fiziskākajiem kāpieniem Quitaraju kalnā pa ziemeļu sienu (6036m).
Lai sasniegtu virsotni un tiktu atpakaļ no tās, tika noieti ap 60km, 3000m augšā un tik pat lejā 4 dienu laikā. Pats kāpiens no augšējās bāzes nometnes ilga ap 16h, kāpjot pa 400m ziemeļu sienu, kas vietās sasniedza ap 70 grādu slīpumu.
Piedzīvojums, kas paliks atmiņā!

Even though I like doing hard things myself I think I love capturing people doing them even more. Rigged the rope, hung off it for an hour & took some images.

We wanted to do a bigher push to wrap up the splitboarding season. Something off the beaten track and with adventure elements.
Warm temps placed us in higher altitude, at the end of Val d’Herens.
We set off from Ferpecle, boot packing first 600 vertical meters, putting skis on from Bricola hut, skinning up to Dent Blanche hut. We intended to spend the night at winter room as hut only opens in mid June. To our surprise, the new hutkeeper alongside volunteers were preparing the hut for summer season. Cosy beds, finest wine from Vevey and warm cheese fondue topped with spectacular sunset at the hut wrapped up our first day.
Next morning started with drone scouting the safest way down. We opted for a scenic glacier tour all the way to Bricola hut, summiting Tête Blanche along the way. Navigating crevassed and wast glaciers, we crossed Col de Bertol and started our descent towards Arolla. Heavy backpacks, few too many bootpack sections and a fewsharky descent paths lead us to foothill of Mont Collon. Snaking alongside glacier rivers concluded our last tour of the season. And what a grand adventure it was! #arolla #valdeherens #switzerland
