David and Melchior have been in Switzerland last week.
They have made a lot of plans about what they wanted to climb but due to the fact that there was still a lot of snow they couldn’t do all but they did climbed Breithorn.
Check out the movie…
So whats up the next few months:
June 25 – July 3
David and Melchior will be in the Swiss alps to climb some mountains around Zermatt and also try the Taschhorn – Dom Traverse which is one of the classic alpine tours.
July 29 – August 8
Susanne, David and Melchior will be guiding a group of children with ADHD and/or Autism in the Schobergruppe (Austria) with a non-profit Foundation called Xmotion.
Every year some members of the Dutch Alpine Team commit at least one week to work as a volunteer for this organisation.
September 2 – September 5
The whole team will hopefully participate in the Mammut 150th anniversary called the The Biggest Peak Project in History. Also see this page about the project.
Night training with bivouac, Monte Cervino, Rotterdam, NL
Because of the fact that we don’t have that many cold winters in The Netherlands 2 team members wanted to take maximum advantage of the few winters days we do have. David and Melchior spend one night at the Monte Cervino (near Rotterdam, NL) climbing and sleeping with minus 8 degrees celcius.
Because of the fact that it has been snowing the conditions were very realistic, Unfortunately some routes where to slippery to climb as we were not allowed to use crampons (on a artificial climbing wall?!) 
Done climbing? Time for a good meal:
It was a very cold night but good training and a lot of fun.
