Great solo ascent of two 3500 meter high mountains in the Ortler region

How a relatively easy mountain can be made incredibly difficult.
The story of the battle against the elements.

With 2962 meters above sealevel, the Zugspitze is the highest mountain of Germany. Reinier and I were going to climb it in winter conditions. And that was a harsh but great adventure.

After a ‘special’ year with many adventures and few peaks reached, Mont Vélan became a success.
This mountain is a very fun climb.
Many alpinists wrongly ignore the mountain, which is a shame.

A week with big plans. But everything went differently than planned. Getting home safely always remains priority number 1.

I had set myself the goal of running an ultra trail for a long time.An ultra run is a distance longer than a marathon. And if that is possible in a beautiful location, it is of course even more fun.
