14°C
Kilian, Matheo Jacquemoud
30km 8h17 dep:7h29 D+ 3381m 2 cimes
“Stage 4 in the project of climbing as many 4000 meter peaks in the Alps as I can, using only my feet or my bike to link them together. After a good night of rest, I was super happy to share this climb with my friend and talented mountaineer Matheo Jacquemoud, as we set off at 3:30 in the morning to summit Lagginhorn (4010m) through its South Ridge and Weissmies (4017m) in a 8-hours push.
In these moments, I feel so grateful to be surrounded by a team helping me with all the logistics of the project, and experienced friends I can count on for long outings above 4000 meters in not-so perfect weather.
I have now climbed twelve 4000 meter peaks since starting the adventure. Time to recharge the batteries, literally and figuratively!”

Stage 05 "Valais 1" src: strava
(brouillard) 12°C
Kilian
23km duree:9h45 depla:7h40 D+ 3246m 4 cimes
“As it had been raining (and snowing on the summits) the entire afternoon and night before, I left solo at 6:15 in the morning and had another relatively “short” (8:40) day of climbing to make the most out of the conditions.
Still, I am used to this “Norwegian” weather that feels just like home, so I managed to summit Dürrenhorn (4034m), Hohberghorn (4218m), Stecknadelhorn (4239m) and Nadelhorn (4327m). On the way down, I stopped to get some food at the Mischabelhütte and ran down to the valley.
In total, 23 kilometers and 3246 meters of climbing for 4 more summits and a total of 16 4000 meters since starting the adventure. Stage 5 is done, the weather is getting better and I can’t wait to see what I can do in the coming days!”

“After some rest in the Hörnlihütte, this new stage started right away with an iconic climb, Matterhorn (4478m), which I had climbed by its North Face the last time I came here (but of course that wasn’t on the menu today!), and in 2:52:02 from the Italian side in 2013.
We were treated by a beautiful sunrise as I departed around 7 in the morning.
I was joined by Mathéo Jacquemoud for Dent d’Hérens (4173m) then Genís Zapater joined us for the long walk to Dent Blanche (4358m) and the descent to Schönbielhütte.
Another long day of more than 18 hours is in the bag and 3 more peaks were climbed today. That brings the total to 44 since the beginning of the Alpine Connections project.”

“I left at midnight from our camping ground in Courmayeur, feeling good and rested, to start the climb to Grandes Jorasses with a great team: Mathéo, Mitch Lanne and Bastien Lardat.
Even though it was the middle of the night, everyone was super happy to be here and to kick off the day in good company!
All of them know the area well and I was glad to have them for the more technical climbs of the day, as the conditions can get a bit tricky in this part of the Alps.
We summited the Grandes Jorasses ridge (Pointe Walker, Pointe Whymper, Pointe Croz, Pointe Elena, Pointe Margherita), then Dôme de Rochefort, Aiguille de Rochefort and finally Dent du Géant, before stopping for a break at Rifugio Torino.
After that, I left the team to go solo to the Refuge du Couvercle where I arrived 18:22 hours later after we started climbing.
With 28 kilometers and 4200 meters of elevation for today, I have now climbed 8 more 4000 meter peaks, bringing the total to 59 since starting the Alpine Connections project.”

This brings the total to 63 summits so far in the Alpine Connections project.
I was glad to join the team, friends and family at Rifugio Torino to debrief such a big day and start planning the rest of the adventure”.
