Mönch (4,107m)
Up: South West Ridge (AD+)
Down: South East Ridge (PD+)
At the beginning of September, I organized a climb with the Club Alpine Suisse in the Bernese Alps
We headed to Grindelwald to take the telecabine and train to Jungfraujoch.
The new telecabine is fantastic passing along the North Face of the Eiger
We planned a full-on weekend.
On Saturday, we did the Monch traverse, climbing the South West ridge and descending to the hut via the South East ridge.
And Sunday, we climbed the Jungfrau, but that's for another video
It was the first 4K peak for one of the participants, but they were very motivated.
We made a great team with plenty of positive energy.
Both ridges are straight forward in good conditions.
The crux at the beginning, an exposed pitch graded 3B, the rest is a pleasant scramble.
Route finding is also easy, but like any other ridge, during a storm it can be pretty dangerous
We arrived at the hut in time for dinner, but quite tired, and we still had the Jungfrau to climb the next day
