The swift WHITE tooth

A (really) short & sweet alpinistic escapade, that me and my friend Tadej pulled out on a nice August weekend of this years sunny fall.




Driving to Switzerland and climbing the neighbour of the worlds (probably) most famous mountain - the Matterhorn - we were packed and ready to go.

The long approach and the changing, windy conditions of the first day didn't bother us too much. We prepared our gear in the evening and started climbing really early the next day - enjoying the crystal clear views of the surrounding mountain peaks all the way to the summit of Dent Blanche ( 4356 m ).

We were only the 3rd party of climbers on our route that year. To the general surprise of the other climbers, we started our 5 hour descent to the valley directly after reaching the shelter hut.

 

Though suffering from muscle aches a bit in the comming days the climb was well worth the trip!

We were back (without sleep, of course ;) at work in less than 72 hours... ; )
