The Mountain Called Besso
I did a search for my name, and came up finding this...
<< Back

There's an impressive peak somewhere called "The Besso".  Its pretty high... 3,668 meters.... some 10,000 feet or so... that's higher than Mt St Helens

The snowless peak is "the Besso".

The 3 peaks in the picture are: Zinalrothorn, Besso, and Obergabelhorn

Apparently, it does get snow, just not as much as the peaks nearby...

This guy climbed it... he spent a winter training for the climb

Below, the picture on the left was labeled "at the Besso" (he's German)... the picture on the right was labeled "... und auf dem Gipfel des Besso" ("...and on the summit of the Besso")

Here's his website...
