21in21 - XII - Weisshorn 4506m

In 21 in 21 I try to climb the missing 21 swiss 4000m peaks in 2021. After some more classic Summer 2021 weather we headed for the Weisshorn 4506m on July 29th 2021. While the Rock on the east ridge was relatively dry we found some tricky snow conditions further up which required walking carefully. On the summit we had up to 30cm of fresh snow and some mixed climbing. On the way down I nearly got hit by a rock probably released by an other team on the descent. This shows, one can be as careful as possible but its a fine line in the high mountains.
I did this tour together with Nicola Heiniger and Adrian Zurbrügg. Adrian decided spontaneously to join us and arrived with the last train in Randa. Without sleeping he walked up to the hut, had breakfast with us and then went on to climb to the summit with us.
