		Geologically, the Alps were formed during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs as a result of the pressure exerted on the Tethyan geosyncline as its Mesozoic and Cenozoic strata were squeezed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward-moving African landmass.
		The principal peaks of the Central Alps are Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn, the Finsteraarhorn, the Jungfrau, and the Wildspitze; the chief routes are the Simplon Tunnel and the St. Gotthard, Grimsel, Furka, Splügen, Bernina, and Brenner passes.
		The E Alps comprise, in the south, the Dolomites, the Carnic Alps, and the Julian Alps; and, in the north, the Hohe Tauern and Niedere Tauern; the principal eastern peak is Grossglockner.

	5-day Bernina area climbing
		Mark is convinced that the Biancograt on the Piz Bernina is the best AD route in the Alps (and maybe the world!) and the traverse of the summits of Piz Palu the best PD route.
		The Biancograt on Piz Bernina is a challenging route, and if you think you are not up for it, consider doing the normal route, which can also be combined with a traverse of Piz Palu.
		The climbs of the Morteratsch and Palu are generally not difficult, but the Roseg and the Biancograt on Piz Bernina are both challenging climbs, worth of considerable respect.
