September 12, 2026,12.09.26 Wasenhorn/Punta di Terrarossa 😍⛰️❤️ (ab Simplonpass)

Today we are catching up on the alpine treat from the Simplon Pass, which we had spontaneously postponed to the equally beautiful other side recently due to dense clouds and gale-force winds 😄.

The tour is rated T5 I–II and I was very excited about the rocky ridge up to the Wasenhorn / Punta di Terrarossa, whatever one may call …
