The Spaghetti route is an impressive but certainly demanding high-altitude crossing in the Valais, where twelve peaks over 4,000 m are climbed. Vast glaciers, narrow ridges, and exposed climbing sections make the route from Klein Matterhorn to Dufourspitze and then down towards Gornergrat a high alpine undertaking only recommended for experienced mountaineers.

    Haben die gesamte Spaghetti Runde Anfang August gemacht. Bedingungen und Wetter ideal. Achtung: Beim Abseilen in den Silbersattel: Fixseil wurde entfernt! Wir hatten 2 mal 60 m dabei - das war Luxus nur 2 mal abseilen und fertig.

    Derzeit sehr gute Verhältnisse im Firn und am Fels. Zum Silbersattel abseilen erfordert mindestens 50 Meter Seil, dann trotzdem etwas umständlich. Ideal ist 50 Meter Doppelseil, dann gute Abseilstände. 22.8.2019

    Am Grat nach dem 2. Firnfeld wurde im unteren Teil ein Fixseil entfernt (je nach Verhältnissen evtl. selber eins legen). Im Kamin kurz unterhalb vom Gipfel ist noch ein gutes Fixseil vorhanden. Beim Abstieg zum Silbersattel gibt es wie erwähnt keine Fixseile mehr; besser am Aufstiegsweg zurückgehen. Gute Akklimatisierung ist m. A. n. ein muss. Start um 02:30 empfehlenswert. Gesamtdauer bei uns 11h.

    Aufgrund Schlechtwetter erreichten wir die Cappana Margerita nicht. Vincent Pyramide, Balmenhorn, Schwarzhorn und Ludwigshöhe erreichten wir. Aber ist nicht der Weg das Ziel? ;-) Ich war da im Juli 2014.
