Acclimatisation




So after a good long drive from Fort William, Kenny and I arrived at Saas Grund in Switzerland yesterday.  Today we get the first lift up and climbed the North Ridge of the Weissmies (AD+).  We made super progress but feeling the altitude as we approached the 4000m mark.  The round trip from the lift took us 7 hours, alot shorter than we expected.  The ridge was great fun, plenty of interest and some really funky sections of climbing, a must do if in the area.
