#SOTA summit № 733/1000: Alplistock 2894 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/BE-177) with Thomas DF7TR – his “first first” activation in Switzerland! It was a lovely, steep scramble – felt good to be back in warm, dry rock. Although in hindsight it would not have been wrong to bring along a rope 🙈 #hb1000sota

Today I activated an unspectacular #SOTA summit: Sängersberg 494 m (https://sotl.as/summits/DM/HE-111). Normally, DM summits are easy points, but this one took a 600 km ride by (non-electric) bike from home, with 15 kg of luggage. Now continuing the journey towards #Sweden ☺️ #bikepacking

#SOTA summit № 728/1000 today: Chüebodenhorn 3070 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/TI-015) with HB9HNT @navigium and a friend.

But the steep couloir from Passo di Manió had exquisite conditions in its upper part, and made up for what lay further down: heavy, wet snow. Can&#39;t have everything! Same goes for the radio part – SFI 94 and K 4, I guess we&#3...

#SOTA summit № 730/1000 today: Piz Ravetsch 3006 m (https://sotl.as/summits/HB/GR-204) with HB9HNT @navigium. I&#39;ll keep the beautiful descent on the glacier in my memory, as this was most likely the last ski tour this season for me. Now getting ready for bikepacking ☺️ #hb1000sota
