The Alps - 1980
First trip to the Alps
The aim was to visit as many areas as possible to check out places to climb
in later years.
We drove down in a friends landrover
Blumisalpsee
Iggy getting wet at the Blumisalpsee. He did reach the stick
The Eiger
"The Mile High Wall"
The Matterhorn
Taken in Tasch before our attempt.
We were hit by a storm during our attempt with simultaneous lightning and
thunder. Our (Aschenbrenner) axes were 'zinging' with each lightning stroke
