Actual decent weather this morning... wow!
We have a good breakfast, check out from the hotel, and then take the small cable car up to the Grimselpass. The plan is to go up the SW ridge of the Hohhoren (a tour from Best of Keep Wild Climbs). We start up along the red-white path, stopping after a bit up to stash some of the stuff in our packs that we won't need, then continue up, up. Along the way G realizes that his lacking motivation isn't going to improve, so shortly after p2481 we decide to just do a hike, stash the climbing gear, and continue along the really nice red-white path to Bim grosse Stei. Here we do a lunch break while enjoying the (admittedly somewhat depressing) view out over the Rhone glacier and then head back along the same trail to the Pass (picking up our stuff along the way). Really nice views towards the Berner Oberland (and Baechlitalhuette and Gruebenhuette). With a small amount of hurrying we get there in time for the bus that starts the long trip back home.
