Back to back long days
- Weather forecast was possible storms by early afternoon, so got a good early start
- Golderli (1440m): 4700'
- Up the valley to Bundalp (1840m)
- Then up the steeper parts (rails and steps at the end) to Hohturli Pass (2778m): 9115'
- Short climb up to Blumlisalp Hutte (2840m): 9317'
- Just over 4400 feet elev gain in 2 hrs 40 minutes.
- Suggested time was 4 hrs 20 minutes.
- Hit hutte ahead of potential storm, so stopped in for suppe and bread. Great pics up here.
- Pace was very steady, and other than a nice sweat, the legs just powered up.
- We met a professor from Scotland the day before, so we ascended with him.
- Ian Fraser, Univ. of Stirling. Dept acct. 57 yrs old and very fit.
- Descended from Blumlisalp Hutte (9300') to Kandersteg (3900') by 2pm.
- Around 5500' drop over 6 miles. Everyone's legs held up fine. A few hot spots on our feet.
- Lee has had a bad tooth ache for several days and our pain pills are no longer working. Need to find a dentist.
- The lady who owns the place where we stayed contacted a dentist she knew. Not bad for a Sunday when everything is shut down.
- Dentist loaded him with antibiotics and said to tough it out and see home physician/dentist.
Over 10,000 feet elev (+/-) in 10 miles. Only sprinkled a few drops along the way.
