Last day before leaving for home.
Hike to Glarnisch Hutte
- Vorauen (850m) 2790'
- Follow Chlii River and Rossmatter Chlii (valley) to Chascren (1219m)
- Then ascend switchbacked trail up to Glarnisch Hutte (1990m) 6500'.
- Ascended 3700' in 2 hr 20 min. Legs really strong, not really needing any rest.
- Hot and humid, so worst day for sweat and needed a lot of ongoing hydration.
- Ascended 3700' in 2 hr 20 min. Legs really strong, not really needing any rest.
- While descending, only major accident/incident on the trip.
- Lee stumbled some how and went down hard (into glacial creek about 10' below the trail)
- Shin swelled like a lemon, and popped open nice smile on knee cap.
- Ran glacial water over shin, elevated, and compressed with elastic wrap. Swelling subsided within about 15 minutes, and no broken bones.
- Butterflied the smile-cut on his knee, and he hobbled on out.
- BJ ran 2.5 miles back down the trail to the car and drove it back to within a miles of Lee.
- Other than a little bruised up, all is healing well a day later.
- Lee stumbled some how and went down hard (into glacial creek about 10' below the trail)
Summary: 7,400' +/-. Just over 10 miles.
