Hello Gentle Readers,

Today we are going to grace you with a picture post as we haven't really done a whole lot except for move from one rainy area to another... so without further delay:



One of our 66 or so shot of the matterhorn. David on the Summit of the Rifflehorn.


The Matterhorn as seen through Emilie's Eyes...


Emilie leading a corner on the route up the Rifflehorn.


The famous Troll eats babies statue in Bern...


Emilie leading one of the many slab pitches we climbed in Grimsel Valley.

Emilie following the Limestone route "New Entry" which we climbed on Saturday (rained off) and Sunday. 3 pitches 5c, 5c, 6a. I lost the red point because I screwed up a clip on the crux pitch and needed to hang to fix it. Nice route and unlike the other route wer bailed off of on Saturday was not polished at all. The route we bailed off of was a 16 pitch 5a but we could see our reflections on the rock.

Emilie being really naughty after we finished the climb New Entry... mmmm Grapes.


An artistic picture of Venice. We visited Venice yesterday. Very nice city, lots of water, smells and tourists.

David sitting on a budget gondola. .50 Euro Cents for the authentic experience without the singing. The real thing would have cost about 100Euros. Ouch. Only one that we saw had any music and that seemed to be from a travelling band... one can only guess how expensive that would have been.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! We gotta run as the internet is funky here and I have no more change. Tomorrow assuming the weather holds, we do our first climb in the dolomites. Weather is looking funky so the future is cloudy.
