Tip: write a bit about yourself and previous (alpine) experience in your profile, you’ll get more answers

Have a good time!

Due to the flooding the area is currently looking like a disaster zone. I not 100% sure it'll all be back to normal in a month...

hi mate you are right

hi everyone I am Ricky. experience wise in uk :I have joined a local club and have been following them hiking climbing in summer and winter (winter scrambling)

done some grade 1 winter route

trad leading climbing at vd to s level ,sport lead and bouldering at 6b+ to 7a level

done a winter skill course ,roped scrambling course ,ice climbing(beginner) course,self rescue course

trekking on some 3000m+ mountain oversea before moving to uk

also done a guide tour on cosmique arete last year in chamonix

looking for buddy to do the abovementioned easier 4000m

I have been following the news of flooding.seems in sass fee area ,serious rock fall and landslide occurred few days ago

how do I know more info up on the mountain range not just in the village?cheers

Gran Paradiso area's not much different, this in Noasca just to the south.  Multiple villages are cut off due to the valley road being cut off / washed away

Ask the local mountain guides office

+41279574464 is the Saas Fee guides‘ office, there‘ll be someone there who speaks English. Wouldn‘t ring them before the end of July though, they‘ve got major other problems at the moment 

Hi Ricky

A mate & I were planning on similar (camp at Saas Grund) to bag 4000m, we've had a couple of previous trips to Ecrins on Facile routes to 3700m & some of Scottish winter, Cuillin ridge etc. Hoping to go 24th August til 8th September. Pretty much same objectives, if you want to delay your trip. Party of 3 works well for glacier crossing & we won't be doing hard climbing.

Hi mate,good to know you have similar plan,do you have telegram or instagram so we can have a chat,cheers!

Being pathologically solitary and friendless, I've climbed 14 4000m alpine peaks alone, including the 4 you've mentioned, some several times.

I'm not saying do as I do, just intimating that it is possible.

hi mate intereseed to know which 14 have you done?!
