Day 1 -- from the Jungfraujoch down to Konkordiaplatz
In the morning at the Kleine Scheidegg railway station, the skies were clear in the
middle elevations, but we could see lots of mist higher up. Gi and Sharon
and Ken took the train up to the Jungfraujoch, which indeed was in a
cloud. Carol, Craig, and Eric started later, and spent their first
night at the Mönchsjochhütte. They arrived at the Finsteraarhorn hut the
next day.
After a wait, we started down in the mist, following some
ski tracks. Some careful skiing got us down below the clouds. Then
we could see way
south down the Aletsch glacier, the longest glacier in Europe.

Day 1 -- views from the Finsteraarhorn hut
From Konkordiaplatz, Gi, Sharon and Ken climbed over the Grunhorn pass in the
mist, and crossed the Fiescher glacier to the Finsteraarhorn hut. In the
evening, the mist cleared away.
