Morning Trail Run

Zwift - heat #2

Zwift - heat #1

Uphill threshold + rolling in between

“Stage 6 of the Alpine Connections project, aiming to link as many 4000 meter peaks of the Alps as I can, got under way at 6:20 in the morning from Saas-Fe. 

I started climbing with Mathéo Jacquemoud, connecting the beautiful peaks of the Mischabel group: Lenzspitze (4294m), Dom (4545m) and Täschhorn (4491m), before being joined at midday by Genís Zapater for Alphubel (4206m), Allalinhorn (4027m), Rimpfischhorn (4199m) and finally Stalhhorn (4190m), ending the long day in the Monte Rosa hut for some well needed rest. 

It felt great to see the sun, be in good company, and to add a big day in the mountains to the adventure after dealing with uncertain weather for a bit. 

In total, Stage 6 lasted more than 21 hours, with almost 48 kilometers and more than 6000 meters of elevation, adding 7 summits to the project, for a total of 23 peaks of 4000 climbed so far. 

If all goes according to the plan, the next stage should be an interesting one!”
