One last photo highlight of the week: the fearsome 1,800 metre high Eiger Nordwand as seen from Kleine Scheidegg, the famous & appropriately named Hotel Bellevue in the foreground.

This mountain has lived in my dreams since I was young, reading of the first British ascent by Chris Bonington & Ian Clough in 1962. It’s always a thrill to see it in person.

Also thinking of Ueli Steck & his stunning 2h23m solo ascent in 2015, 18 months before his death on Everest.
