20 August 1993

tasch, switzerland

The next day we were woken by the sun streaming through the tent. Still overcome with tiredness and feeling slightly stiff, we struggled to get enthusiastic about much ..

Eventually around lunch time we went around to Zinal to pick up the car.

This was a very quiet day. But just what we needed.

The last day Dave and the others headed off to the Kleiner Matterhorn lift to drop over the other side to Cervinia and then up to the hut on the Lion ridge.
I headed the other way .. back down the valley and the flight back to the UK. I do remember thinking that I should have gone a day earlier (the previous day and used the car to get to the train station). the walk to the train station was hard work with a heavy pack.

My one abiding memory would be of the fantastic traverse of the Weisshorn.
