| Is that rain in the air?! Caught out in a downpour! |
Against all the odds, we managed to get ourselves between the clouds, feel a bit of sunshine and even get up a couple of nice pitches of rock climbing! After scanning a few weather forecasts, we nipped into Valdret da Morteratsch. There were black clouds looming everywhere, but somehow, not in our chosen valley! To air on the side of caution, we chose Morteratsch as the climbing is only a short distance from the car park. With the weather looking like it was closing in, we got straight on the first route we came across. We did get caught out slightly as a shower blew through, but it dried off within 20 minutes and we were soon able to get back on some freshly dried rock!
After some lunch, we strolled up to the snout of the Morteratsch Glacier, which has receded at a surprising pace over the last 100 years. There were markers, showing the location of the snout and even the most recent (2012) was at least 200m away from the ice. If you want to see it, get there quick - it'll be gone soon at this rate!
