“After 3 hours of rest in the Monte Rosa hut, I left, solo this time, at 7 in the morning for one of the big days of the project, with 18 summits of 4000 meters and above climbed in a single day. 

This traverse is known as the “Spaghetti Tour”, and took me through Nordend, Dufourspitze, Zumsteinspitze, Signalkuppe, Pointe Parrot, Ludswighöhe, Corno Nero, Pyramide Vincent, Punta Giordani, Lyskamm E,  Lyskamm W, Castor, Pollux, Roccia Nera, Breithorn (pointe 4106), Breithorn E, Breithorn central and finally Breithorn W. 

The weather was good during the day but the warm and soft snow conditions made me slower than I had originally thought, which in turn made me struggle with the proper water and food intake. 

The smoke from the North American fires was clearly visible up in the sky and made for a strange atmosphere at times. 

Fortunately the super moon made for good visibility at night, and I managed to finish the stage in 17:45, ending up at the Hörnlihütte at around 1 in the morning for a feast of eggs, soup, quinoa, tortilla, broccoli, peas and cake before crashing down.

I have now climbed a total of 41 peaks of 4000 meters since the beginning of the Alpine Connections project !”
