We hit 2548 metres. It was awesome or as Thomas described “it was like losing my sight virginity, no view will ever look this good again”. And to be fair he was right, it was the best view I’ve ever seen by a long way. This was referred to as the uber hike as it […]

After the reasonably enjoyable and completely uneventful 19 hour journey from Scout Park at 3am this morning we arrived safely to Kandersteg at 2230.
