Skinning journey over the shapely saddle of the Grunhornlucke (3280m) with the remarkable Grosser Aletschfirn beyond - And Hollandia Hut positioned just above right of the distant col of the Lötschenlücke (3158m) and the massive Aletschhorn itself on the distant left.

Skinning along the SE Ridge of the Abeni Flue at nearly 4000m with the massive bull of the Aletschorn behind. A magnificent position!
