The
Haute Route
In the Summer of 1993 I and three fellow mountaineers
tackled the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt in the
Pennine Alps. This famous high level mountain traverse over
glaciers and several peaks over 12,000 feet high is a
spectacular introduction to Alpine mountaineering. It
crosses through France, Italy and Switzerland and can be
completed via mountain huts in about 10 days.

The Pamirs, Tadzhikistan in Central Asia
In 1991 I lead a caving and mountaineering expedition to
some remote mountains near the Afghan border. The mountains
were mainly composed of limestone with some gypsum beds but
due to the high alpine environment cave development proved
to be rather poor. The rugged terrain and wildlife, however
made up for the lack of discoverable caves.
