IRON HEART HIKE 2015
-
I'm down for whatever but Germany or Switzerland really intrigue me.
-
Switzerland is amazing. I'm not going to be on this trip but I thought I'd throw it out there
-
I'm seriously up for the North Face of the Eiger…....But, I suspect we would all fail.....
I read this 40 years ago:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-White-Spider-story-North/dp/0007197845
And have re-read it regularly ever since......

And so did I.
But it is not necessary to climb over 4000 m to get a good view.
-
…and the chance is high that Rafa will be there finally!...not only talking about. :p:p:p
well from 2 possible local meet ups, i actually also made 2 happen…all others were combined with much more expenses and time!
but you're right...i'm done for a swiss hiking meet up!
-
Lots and lots of bugs yes? I wish I'd explored that while down under.
-
California is a long way for most to go, but I'll put my vote in for Mt. Whitney. Highest point in the continental US and a very strenuous (read IH tough) 22 mile day hike.

tours around "oeschinensee" and "kandersteg" are dope imo…

mountains?

I can recommend you guys Jungfrau region part of world heritage natural site
sounds promising, thanks

The hike is a great idea!
If that happens in Switzerland i'm in. If somewhere else, i try…The Jungfrau-Region is great. I wanted to do the "Bärentrek" this year, but that don't happend. it's a 6 day hike, but it's possible the make it in 4 days if your in real good shape, or to shorten it.
http://www.alpavia.ch/english/hiking_tours/baerentrek_e.htmi made some parts from the "Europaweg" this year, great sights to Matterhorn, Weisshorn, etc. There are some nice cottages with beds, drinks and food.
http://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/interests/hiking1/on-the-europe-route-through-switzerland.htmlVia cook. That should be not that heavy and allrready doable in may or june. Both other trips are better from july to september, cause of the snow and some smaller trails.
http://www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/interests/hiking1/viacook.htmlIf you want to walk through a glacier, that's the one to do:

Crampons aren't necessary. I made this route twice, it's impressive. But really not that heavy like they say in the myswitzerland-link.Or of course the region where i'm from:
