A late-season day on Kater Garfield at Chli Bielenhorn: superb granite cracks, airy bolting, a psychological slab and one very pragmatic solution.

A long-awaited day on Laura at the Teufelstalwand: thin cracks, demanding protection, superb granite and sustained climbing that feels harder than the topo suggests.

A supposedly relaxed Monday on the north side of the Schweizereck turns into a very Rätikon-style day: cold wind, superb limestone, runouts and uncompromising slabs.

A fast summer ascent of the Alimonta–Vidi on Castelletto Inferiore: sustained Dolomite climbing, old pitons, route-finding and a race against the afternoon storms.

Sparse bolts, long runouts and beautiful Furka granite: a memorable day on Dos Idiotas, a 200 m route on the Chli Bielenhorn.

The fourth and final classic ridge of a mountain I have returned to for years: exceptional Adamello granite, a long alpine traverse and descent by the Cerana Ridge.

Two days at the Domhütte and a long ascent of the 4,545 m Dom: glacier travel, the Festijoch, retreating ice and one of the biggest normal routes in the Alps.

A one-day ascent of Mont Dolent via a direct variation to the Arête Gallet: little sleep, 2,300 metres of climbing, perfect spring snow and a long ski descent.
