Alps Classic Program Going Strong!

July 29, 2016

IMG Lead Guide Matt Farmer reports from Wengen, Switzerland on July 29:

Summit of the Monch

“We had a good climb up the Monch yesterday…. The group really enjoyed the climb and the views. Mary reported  “we had a fantastic climb  up the Monch. I used all the skills I had trained for on this climb.”

Today we woke at 3 only to find strong winds from the north (30-40 km, gusting to 50) contra-indicating an ascent of the Jungfrau. After getting back up for the 6 am breakfast spirits are high while we are currently touring the Jungfraujoch. Most of the group is keen to go do the Rothorn via ferrata/traverse (a rock climb with fixed anchors and ladders, GD) to check out the (Eiger) Nordwand ambiance up close, and then meet back up with the hiking group.”

Tomorrow the group travels on to Chamonix, France for a tour of the town, a climb of Mont Blanc and the hiking group will explore the countryside.
