Monch and Jungfrau

Two wonderful 4000m peaks in the Swiss Alps.  Originally booked mostly for acclimatization purposes but both are rewarding and somewhat challenging climbs with some very steep snow, mixed climbing with crampons, and generally very nice rock.  Snow conditions were mostly great with firm styrofoam like texture until on the lower part of the descent we got swept away for about 60 meters in a small slab avalanche.  Only impacts other than being quite scary were a small cut on my face, a torn pant leg presumably from my crampons and unfortunately a lost ice axe.  Living the dream climbing iconic peaks in the Alps!
