RINDERHORN 3453m North Ridge (PD) A much frequented route, ideal for an alpine noice.
It is mostly snow and quite easy in good conditions. LEFT: A postcard map of the Rinderhorn. |

ABOVE: Geoff "I
may hold you up lads" Preston leading the way. At 4am when we woke, Ross told us that the weather was fine and that the plan was on. By the time we had finished breakfast there was a thick fog outside. Unfazed we decided to start out anyway and if the weather didn't improve we would be forced to turn back. BELOW: The view up the Gemmi Pass. | ||
Luckily the fog cleared as we embarked on the monotonus scree path up to the ridge. Geoff informed us that he may hold us up and was convinced that he would have to turn back to avoid him preventing us reaching the summit. Things turned out a little differently as Geoff lead a blistering pace up the scree. Once we reached the ridge the weather was fine. There were clouds below us in the valley but the Rinderhorn was perfectly clear. | ||
