After (too) much deliberation over our final route, we eventually settled on a rock route up the Egginerjoch and along the ridge towards the Mittaghorn before descending to Saas Fee.
Unfortunately when we reached the bottom of the route, no-one could pick out a clear route up the steep ridge from the vague description in the guide book. In addition, two members of the group did not feel confident to attempt the rock route in big boots and with our big bags.
So this year's Alpine adventure has kind of fizzled out... Matt and I headed straight to the valley for some sports climbing, whilst Tim and Simon headed up the Mittaghorn via the walker's route.
That said, during this year's Alpine adventure I have climbed my first 4000 metre peak! Happy days :)
