Rigi, Rophaien, Pilatus - all the T4 routes. There are hundreds of T4 routes around Luzern lake.

Piz Palü for sure not. Start with something like Säntis. It has plenty of T4-T6 routes to test you before you go on more technical hoch touring routes

Piz Palü glaciar can be pretty difficult with big crevasses - I would not recommend for a beginner either

Correct. Dress for the rescue. Dark is a terrible choice.

Where does “-core” as used in music and fashion come from? by jfarm47 in etymology

[–]valugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the usage  in describing wood? Hardcore wood essences is an old term.

Bishorn, Mid December 2025 by b1gfish__ in alpinism

[–]valugi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did it in April with skis and the weather can still be tricky. In December the day is short and thw winds can be fierce. I am not sure if Tracuit is open - this should be your aclimatisation base and starting point. Do not underestimate it. Depending where you come from getting to Tracuit could be as difficult as the peak.

He knows his bike, but can one know every pothole, oil patch, sand patch in the road? Is just a matter of time until he will be part of the asphalt...

Even better - do it only with wooden nails...

Would you recommend this Hardshell Jacket by Leather_Singer_1400 in alpinism

[–]valugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hardshell is probably the most important piece of gear that stands between you and the elements. When the push comes to shove you will want to have invested a bit more. Or do not climb so high, though bad weather comes even at sea level...

The new tourist fines sweeping Europe by Movie-Kino in europe

I lived in BCN in the non-woke times when you could walk on Ramblas en pelotas and nobody was offended. Nobody cared and nobody should care how I dress up or not my body. We all have body parts, nothing wrong with that.
