This day Sören and me go to the
Stelvio Pass 2758m (Italy), to climb
Geisterspitze. The weather is expected to be perfect, which is
preferable when
you are going this high. |
At
2900m a path leads up to Monte Scorluzzo 3095m. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The glacier starts at 3000m. Here's the
target from a little more than 3200m. |
To the west is Monte Cristallo 3434m. In the
background is Piz Bernina 4049m. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sören
climbing the last, fairly steep section which isn't covered with snow. |
The
highest point of today, Geisterspitze 3467m with its unusual top
marking. |

Ortler
3905m |
Monte Zebru 3735m, Königspitze 3851m,
Zufallspitzen 3757m and Monte Cevedale 3769m. The last two are in the middle of the
picture. |

Weißkugel
3739m
is at the border to Austria. |
Zooming
in Piz Bernina. |
|

|
|
|
|
Straight
to the south there is a passage over the southern summit, further to
the slightly lower Punta del Cristallo. It's to the right in this
picture. |
The
passage over the southern summit is narrow. When I
climbed Geisterspitze 2011, I couldn't pass here because I had
no
crampons. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After
this passage it widens up and is easy walking again. |
At
Punta del Cristallo, just a few minutes later. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here it
abruptly ends with a vertical drop of 2000 altitude meters. |
