trains and bus combo to Handegg, then hike up, up, up (with the heavy packs) to the Gruebenhuette. G's motivation/energy levels are quite low, but the hut and surroundings are still amazingly cool. We settle in to the hut, chat for a bit to the two new arrivals (guide and guest), do an exploratory hike just following the blue-white marked (but not on any map) trail above the hut, the come back down. In the meantime, the other four we expected were coming have arrived (four quite young guys). We do dinner outside enjoying the views, play some cards, then go to bed. Two more arrive while we're playing cards, but they opt to sleep down in the boulder bivac.
It was really nice to be at this hut and have things quiet.
Memo to ourselves: the Gruebenhuette has a fire ring... so one could bring up stuff to throw in the grill. :-)
