Weissmies, 4011 m, we didn’t make it.

We started at 05:00 AM in complete darkness, skins, crampons, ice axe. Two roped teams. In mine, there was a guy attempting his first 4’000 m peak. Around 3’500 m, we could see he wasn’t doing well. Too exhausted, too unstable to continue safely on that terrain.

We decided to turn back.

It hurts, especially because that morning I was ready. Training, nutrition, hydration, all done. I could have eaten that mountain alive. But on a rope team, you go up together and you come down together. There’s no other rule.

The mountain is still there.

I had altitude sickness at 3’847m, we left at sunrise anyway.

Alphubel 4’206m - my first 4’000 peak.

We decided to split the ascent over two days and spending the night at the bivouac. I wasn’t feeling great, we had dinner, packed the bags for the next day, and called it a night.

We left before sunrise. There was wind, then… the sun came out, and something shifted.

Summit at 08:30am - 25 August 2025

Fog swallowing the sky.

Monday morning, heading for the north ante-summit of Pizzo dell’Uomo - 2586m.
No postcard view, no blue sky, just white everywhere, ski tracks and the right company.

First time on a ridge! ⛰️
Dawn wake-up call to reach Furka Pass with Alex and Max, the destination? The “Turtle Ridge.” The weather was perfect, the panorama breathtaking, and a fantastic rope team that guided me along this route. Some sections were very exposed, but with patience and following my friends’ advice, I managed to get through them. I couldn’t have asked for a better first mountaineering outing than this. Can’t wait for the next ones!
All photos were taken with my x100VI, a very compact camera that allowed me to stay agile on very technical terrain, while at the same time giving me extremely high quality for these outings

Alpinism course 2025,

we spent 4 days at the Adula Utoe hut, unfortunately due to weather conditions we weren’t able to reach the summit, we tried twice, on the third day we managed to reach the glacier, but right after putting on our crampons we were overwhelmed by fog and shortly after by rain, so we decided to return to the hut and take advantage of the good weather windows to practice crevasse rescue techniques, knots, climbing and rappelling. Despite the rain, it was a beautiful experience and a first step for future outings!

Realp in Winter, Solo Adventure

My goal was to reach the hut by skiing uphill, but unfortunately, about halfway through, my knee started to hurt. Being alone, I decided to stop and descend following the road.

I’ll have other opportunities to make the climb again 🏔️official
