The Raaberg, the easternmost summit of the Mattstock massiv, is only rarely climbed. When it is visited, then usually by either 360 or carpintero, it seems. The Raaberg has an east summit (P. 1723) and a west summit (P. 1779). Only the east summit is named on the map and described in the SAC Clubführer. Strange, because the west...

The information that I had about Errigal's Tower Ridge was rather limited. Some fragments that I found on the internet included "best way to climb Errigal", "loose rock", "can be solo'ed" and a vague topo on a blog. Enough to spark my interest. Equipped with a helmet for the loose rock, I set out to explore this route onto County...

Mount Brandon is the highest point on the Dingle peninsula and the highest Irish mountain outside of MacGillycuddy's Reeks. The most popular ascent is the "Pilgrims path" which passes below the Faha ridge. The Cicerone guidebook "The Ridges of England, Wales and Ireland" describes two more challenging routes in the Brandon range:...

Carrauntoohil is Ireland's highest point. Most hikers approach the mountain from the east, parking at either Cronin's Yard or Lisleibane, though ascents from the west are also popular here on Hikr.
The three most popular routes from the east are:
O'Shea's Gully, which aims for the saddle north of the main summit....

The Nadelhorn: not a bad goal for my first 4000m peak :).
Day 1
Gasenried - Bordierhütte
4h15, 1250m ascent, 50m descent, T4
The ascent from Gasenried to the Bordierhütte("Bordier" pronounced in a French way)is relatively long but pleasantly varied. The path first goes up through the forrest, then through a fascinating...

Trying to get away from the bad weather, we headed as far south as possible. The chosen goal ended up being Valsolda, just across the Swiss-Italian border from Lugano. Though not high in altitude, the landscape here is astonishingly wild. It's almost as if a piece of Thailand's tropical Khao Sok national park has been moved to the...

Hikr-Treff 2016; the first Hikr meetup where I participate. Uncertain about how long the weather would remain stable, I decided to start hiking straight away upon arrival in Melchsee-Frutt on Saturday morning, and only meet up with the other Hikrs later on. Or maybe I would run into some of them on the mountain?

From last year's hike on Glannachopf, Chli Fulfirst and Gross Fulfirst, I already knew that the Werdenberg area is beautiful in autumn colours. This time, we start at Voralp, which we find almost completely deserted at this time of year. We hike up via Ingarnascht, Schlösslichopf and (tonguetwister!) Isisizsess to the Chapf. The...
