This one's more focusing on the high mountain eye candy and the uphill battle as we were too pooped on the way down to stop for many photos.
Fiescherhorn is one of the Bernese Oberland 4000m peaks in the heart of Switzerland.
We had intended to do the Monch and the Jungfrau the next two days but the hurricane force winds and white out conditions magically parted for one day and one day only.

Glaciochemical studies at midlatitudes promise to contribute significantly to the understanding of the atmospheric cycling of species with short atmospheric lifetimes.
It covers the time period 1946-1988 and shows a high net accumulation of water of 1.4 m per year allowing for the reconstruction of high-resolution environmental records.
Chemical composition was dominated by secondary aerosol constituents as well as mineral dust components, characterizing the Fiescherhorn site as a relatively unpolluted continental site.

Focus is given here on 137Cs and 60Co, both particle reactive metals, with half-lifes of 30 and 5.3 years, respectively.
The deposition of these radionuclides as a function of time (flux rates) can be evaluated in archives of relatively undisturbed systems like Lake Brienz or the Fiescherhorn glacier.
Ideal systems are those with a continuous radionuclide flux and a known relationship between deposition and source area.

 A method to reconstruct past accumulation rates in alpine firn regions: A study on Fiescherhorn, Swiss Alps
With this information and the assumptions of steady state velocity and density fields, the correction of layer thicknesses can be determined without knowledge of the ice density profile and thus can be applied to boreholes without ice cores.
The method is applied to a borehole on Fiescherhorn, Swiss Alps, resulting in a substantially larger correction than with the simpler method of Nye (1963).

The peak is one of the hardest ‘four-thousanders’ and apparently the hardest mountain to climb in Switzerland by its easiest route.
To be honest, looking across from the Fiescherhorn I thought it may best wait for another year.
It’s a long approach to the Schreckhorn Hut, with a 1500m ascent from the valley and a similar height gain on the summit climb.

Las subidas al Fiescherhorn se hacen generalmente a partir de una de las tres rutas más conocidas, la primera a partir de la Obermönchjochhütte (véase Mönch), la segunda a partir de la Konkordiahütte y las tercera a partir del Finsteraarhornhütte.

Very few data are, however, available in this direction, since long-term data of atmospheric concentrations at sites where ice cores are available are scarce.
As an exception, long-term sulfate data from the Jungfraujoch (3580 m asl, Swiss Alps) can be related to data from near-by ice from the Fiescherhorn (Schwikowski et al., 1999a).
