50 pushups @ the hotel

I didn't feel great but it was good to get out and move. Legs felt fine but I'm tired. The trail was steep. Great views of Breithorn and the Gornergrat climb. I took a long break at a small ledge above some rock nets. I think I might remove the Sunnegga climb from the Monte Rosa Loop route. That ridge is shorter than Gornergrat to the south, so all the views will be blocked out. I should descend closer to the ascent route. I got some snacks at the Coop grocery store on the way home.

Travel to Zermatt
The 1.5 days of travel to get here was about as easy as it could be. Both flights were on time, my suitcase made it to Zurich, the security lines were short and Switzerland doesn't have any virus restrictions so there was no worry about being admitted into the country. The meals on the overnight flight were alright and I got a few hours of sleep. I was very tired on the trains today. I stayed at this same hotel in 2018 and it's still a great spot. I got enough to eat today while in transit. Platthorn & Mettelhorn tomorrow.
