Allmanalp Via Fratta

The climb, to end all climbs.

Well for me anyway.

Yesterday for my day off, I went with Kike, and Stefan to go climbing Allmanalp

The Klettersteg is what it is better known as, but anyway you are climbing aproximatly 638m on a cliff face, with a waterfall. The path has cables, and everything to keep you secure if you fall, and ladders and bridges for you to walk on. So not a typical climb, but it was good.

It took us about 2.5 hours to climb the whole thing, with water raining down on us in places, and it had rained in the morning, so the trail was wet and muddy. With the pegs soaked with water and mud, I'm surprised no one slipped.

I managed to take a few photos on and during the climb.

We finished at about 1730 hours and the last cable car down the mountain is at 1700, so after a long climb we had to walk the steep path down the mountain.

Right now, I am sitting on the couch, on a bright sunny, warm day, on Duty (so I am not allowed to leave the centre). This weekend is the Kanderlodge Opening Party, so as today and tomorrow would possibly be busy Pip and I made a deal to help eachother out, as her duty is tomorrow.

We are expecting alot of VIP's from the World Bureau, Old Staff, and the general public. With almost no vacancy in the Chalet. So it was the right thing to do.

Today so far has been pretty busy in kitchen, and a few calls to help with guests but so far nothing I can't handle.

Tonight is staff night out, and it is swimming and Ice Cream at Dessies. I can't go which is unfortunate because of all the good looking europeans, and Commonwealthers (if you catch my drift).

It will all be good though.

I had better wrap this up and get back to work soon.

I'll attach photos of the Via Fratta.
