Capanna Gnifetti was quite full, maybe 150 persons who planned to climb the various peaks of Monte Rosa, but Alberto said the hut was normally fuller. Unfortunately, about an hour after we arrived my head started to hurt in what turned out to be a splitting headache. The altitude was getting to me and I felt rotten. After some aspirins and rest with my head up I felt better, good enough to eat. The food was surprisingly good and plenty. And I was surprised to find that I could actually eat. We went to bed early and I took another tablet, I was convinced that I wouldn't be able to climb up to Capanna Margherita.
