Danke Anna, Tchüß Herbert

Were you tempted to climb it Herb? ~ Great shot

Hi nick -somehow I had lost the height figures on here -corrected now. It was relatively easy to climb up but not via this face. A well trod path zigged-zagged up the other side and nearly to its peak via a tunnel cut through the stone. I believe the last few hundred feet are a bit of a rock scramble. We walked up to the tunnel (and I, through it) which is about half way up -great views of the town from there. Cheers, Herb

Hi Herb,

Again, superb picture, and I guess compared to the Eiger, the absence of snow makes it look more attractive!
In a way it reminds me of Cnicht, steep on the front side, easy round the back.

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend!

Good to see you again Peter. Yes a much warmer mountain than the Eiger altogether (which I have also photographed too). In truth this face was not a thousand feet, or it would have crawling with climbers, but the rock itself is. It extends somewhat other than what we can see here. I had to look up the Cnicht (described as the Welsh Matterhorn). I imagine you are correct.
Regards, Herb

Superb !
