A dream as true!
Finally at the 3th attempt francesco ratti and I managed to realize the first winter chaining of all the main mountain chains of valtournenche!
In 4 days of real winter mountaineering we have linked: the chain chain, the matterhorn (via piacenza), grandes murailles and petites murailles.
We started at 7:00 am on January 20th from rifugio theodulo with a temperature of-23° and on January 23th we arrived in Valle at 13:00 am I go down through the couloir of the Château Des Dames!
We slept at the capanna hut, at the bivouac bivouac and the bivouac bivouac (this last half invaded by ice and snow) soon more info on level and km a special thanks goes to the friend Francesco with whom I shared these beautiful but Intense days!

Congratulations to our team who summited Ojos del Salado this morning! They began their summit push at midnight local time last night and summited this morning at 10:30am. @estebantopomena reports that the team is "tired but good. Today's climb was hard with a lot of trail breaking and cold temps.” The team snuck through a perfect weather window with clear skies and calm winds, but now that they have made it back down the mountain, storms are raging again. Way to thread the needle team!

100% summit success for Ade Hawkins' Aconcagua team

The team summited Aconcagua on 20 January and are now back in base camp.

Ade writes: "We left camp 2 in marginal conditions due to both high winds and localised snow squalls. The localised weather was getting worse, but we were keen to get ourselves into position at Colera camp. The night of the 19 January was 'bracing' and none of us really slept. We set off in a sombre mood, but by the time the sun rose the weather had settled down. The team ploughed on and at every halt got stronger. 7 hours and 22 minutes later we had passed other teams and had the summit to ourselves for a wee while".… See More

Chogolisa (7665m) is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Karakoram. Very rarely climbed or even attempted, it has two summits connected to each other by an almost horizontal edge. The first ascent of the North-East summit (7654m) was made by a Japanese expedition in 1958. The South-West Summit (7665m) was first reached by the Austrians in 1975.

All's well that ends well.
Without going too far around the concept, yesterday we really came just a breath away from a tragic and disastrous epilogue for both Tamara and me.
We were planning to spend two nights on the mountain, reach camp 1, sleep there and then head to camp 2 the next day.
We were FINALLY out of the icefall, we had passed the last big crevasse and proceeded to the summit plateau. Always tied up because we knew that the crevasses were always lurking and antennas were always straight but the morale was high and the satisfaction of having overcome everything.
The big ice maze.
But the day was not over and what lay ahead was terrible.
Approaching a crevasse I put myself in position as always to secure Tamara who first crossed it and then moved into the safety zone, 20 meters beyond the crevasse.
Then it was my turn and after a split second, a chasm opened under my feet and I fell. Tamara suffered such a violent tear that she literally flew to the edge of the crevasse while I free falling upside down for 20 meters banging back legs and buttocks on the blades of ice suspended in the endless gut where I continued to descend. No more than 50 cm wide, in complete darkness.

Wahoo! 6100m high and it felt too good to be true. All credit to the amazing Pakistanis who helped me along and up the way to push summit rupal peak

It hit us again. A big loss for Slovenian climbing community. Cca 10 years ago, when I was still a student and hungry as hell for climbing I didn’t make any money with climbing yet but I dreamed of it. I guess those years were crucial for me to get to where I am now and exactly in this years Grega Lačen and his successful company gave me support without expecting anything back. We shared the rope here or there and I was always impressed how he combined climbing with managing his company. Grega, hvala ti za vse! @ El Chaltén

Aoraki/Mt Cook Grand Traverse.
"The ridge line from Low to High Peak is New Zealand’s highest and most exposed mile providing the most spectacular and famous traverse in the Southern Alps."

Days 2 & 3 here in Chamonix. Day 2 was a fun but very dry & quite loose mixed route with
Stuart
on the Grand Flambeau. Day 3 was out with the strong team of
Guy
&
Ally
, Ally's idea was to do something original on the Point de la Noire (Beau Comme un Rêve). The climbing was mostly good apart from the sugary ice just whenever it got steep! Unfortunately reverse thrusters had to be engaged from quite high on the route. The ski out on one hand was beautiful and on the other combat! Back into the mountains tomorrow for my last 2 days.

Cumbre on Aconcagua! We received a quick update from our team that we had a summit on Aconcagua and the team has returned to base camp safely. We’ll send more updates and a summit photo as we hear more from @nachoespinosaandrade. This evening the team will depart base camp via helicopter and start their journey back to Mendoza.

Some impressive perseverance by Benjamin Billet (France) and John Kelley (US) on the first ascent of 6,109-meter Chhopa Bamare in Nepal last February. What might have been a two-day climb turned into a stormy weeklong ordeal, but the weather cooperated at just the right moment for a summit bid.
