Fiesch -2

Much more 'regular' conditions than yesterday! Still a little NE-wind, but it was never strong enough to became a major factor in my flying. Base at > 3700m; climbs with > 6m/s; excellent visibility...
What else could one wish for?

looking East. Left: Oberaarsee; above my boot/ on horizon: Rhone glacier, Dammastock, Sidelhorn, Grimselpass (cannot be seen), Galenstock, then Furkapass; right: Obergoms: Oberwald/ Ulrichen.
left: Fiescherglacier/ Oberaarhorn
Bellwald
at one time the eagle was just about 5m away, but then the camera hasn't been ready yet
(left to right) Dom (4545m)(?), Matterhorn (4478m)  (le Cervin/ Cervino), Weisshorn (4505m)
crossing towards Belalp: Bietschorn (3934m), Breithorn (3785m), Oberaletschglacier, Schinhorn (3797m) (left to right)
In Belalp I had to dig myself out of the situation I had gotten into. I had lost much more hight during the crossing from Riederalp than I had hoped/ anticipated: 15mins of scratching (at the foot of Hohstock) close to the ground before I finally found lift...

Aletschorn (4193m) , Aletschglacier, Grosses Wannenhorn (3906m -'behind' glacier), Eggishorn (far right, where the shadow is)
Hoping for more of the same tomorrow ;-)
