Parrotspitze, Punta Gnifetti and Zumstein Spitze, Monte Rosa, Italy (Explored 10 March 2017)

            After a week in Austria we headed to the Monte Rosa Massif to climb a series of 4000m peaks. Monte Rosa contains the second highest peak in the Alps and the highest mountain refuge, the Refugio Margherita. The hut sits on the Punta Gnifetti, at 4,554m, with fabulous views of Liskamm, the Matterhorn and other alpine giants.

On day 5 climbed the Zumstein Spitze via a narrow snow arête for fabulous views of Dufourspitze, Liskamm and the Matterhorn. We then climbed the Parrotspitze via another snowy ridge before returning to the Refugio Gnifetti.
