Hiking/Backpacking 4:10:00 [4] 8.0 km (31:15 / km) +800m 20:50 / km
Aletsch glacier hike day two!! Shorter distance today but much steeper climb.
Lead the first three hours but before the steepest climb, I went to the back so that Douglas (bf's cousin) , and Lars (bf) could assist with pulling me up =)
Thanks guys =D
Super tired and sore around the ankles/hips but otherwise I am so happy to have had this experience!
(I feel like my English is slowly getting worse and worse but I hope this entry could be read well)

Hiking/Backpacking 6:20:00 [4] 15.0 km (25:20 / km) +800m 20:00 / km
Day one of hiking Aletsch Glacier, aka, Europe 's biggest glacier!
Really really hesitant about the whole trip since even walking on asphault with my mountaineering boots gave my knee a huge discomfort, but luckily I was in good company and the guys said that if there was an issue before the glacier, we could go back (had to hike in 4km before even reaching it).
But low and behold, all was well :)
(Minus some minor blistering, but that was expected with new boots)
