Am 13. Januar 2009 gönne ich mir erstmals ein ausgiebiges Frühstück inklusive meinem heissgeliebten Kaffee. Es ist bereits kurz vor 8 Uhr als ich von der Hütte los marschiere. Das Licht und die winterliche Landschaft sind einfach gewaltig. Die Sonne steigt langsam von Osten her über die mächtigen Gipfel der Walliser Alpen auf. Ich steige gemütlich zum Einstieg der Wand. |
