Running 2:15:00 [3] ** 13.0 km (10:23 / km) +1400m 6:45 / km
Have been longing for quite a while to attack Federispitz (1865m, the unknown neighbour of the Speer), a dominant peak which is guarding entrance towards Ziegelbrücke on the left side, rising straight up from the plains 1400m below). There is a path going up directly from Schänis in the western 'Nagelfluh'-wall and then up the Federigrat towards the highest point, with excellent views. From Federispitz over to Plättlispitz (1764m), then down almost to Ziegelbrücke (Grüt), and back to Schänis again. Quite a journey, just got back before the thunderstorm. Felt quite good on the way up, averaging climbing speed of 300m-350m per 15'.
