We woke up at 3 a.m. and after the breakfast we left the
Mischabelhütte a little before 4 a.m., direction
Nadelhorn. I soon realised, that I forgot the headlamp, but I managed without it. After a while we put on our
crampons and formed the rope teams and we slowly advanced over the
glacier towards the saddle between our mountain and
Ulrichshorn. From the saddle we simply followed the ridge all the way to the summit of
Nadelhorn, 4327 m. We took a few photos on the top and then we returned back to Mischabelhütte on the same way. It didn't take long that we all regrouped, we took a group photo and returned back to
Saas-Fee, where the bus picked us up and drove us back home. Another successful glacier course was behind us.
Previous days of our glacier travel and crevasse rescue course: Day1 -
15745, Day 2 -
15746.

Lower amounts of oxygen were affecting us.
Some segments were a mixture of snow and rocky surface.

| Anže dropped his ice-axe, so he decided to pick it up. He returned with 3 of them. |
