For the HB9SOTA award I only miss HB/UR und HB/TI. I kicked off canton Uri with a simple 2 pointer HB/UR-066 called Scheidegg. Instead of taking the gondola between Wissig and Furggelen I decided to take the footpath which added 370m altitude to climb.

- From the car park to the top. Although my GPS logger was on the backpack the signal coverage on the North facing path wasn’t very good.
-
- Car park next to the bus stop.
-
- Half way up and on the right hand side you can see Scheidegg.
-
- Getting closer to Scheidegg and on the right hand side you can see the top end of the gondola.
-
- At Furggelen the final climb starts.
-
- My shack on the very top and I was leaning the sota pole against a fir tree.
