Ever since the first ascent of Wetterhorn in 1844, the imposing mountain rising up from Grindelwald has captured the imagination of mountaineers. Almost two centuries later, we had a pleasure to climb the ridges and slopes of Wetterhorn on a clear summer day.
Even though we enjoyed the luxury of sleeping in the
well-furbished Glecksteinhutte and had an excellent dinner there, the climb was
no less beautiful and provided splendid views across the Berner Oberland. Sharing
this climb with my parents made it even more special as we were exchanging
memories of many earlier climbs as well as nearly three decades of funny
stories.
