that's a beautiful photograph, can't believe it's only a 4

think I just made it a 5!!!

Indeed, although I may be biased by my lvoe of the area, it is stunning.
I notice you have done both the Rimpfischorn and the Zinal Rothorn - the North ridge of the former and any way up the latter are high on my to-do list. What are they like?
This shot shows the Ober Gabelhorn very well. There looks to be more snow on the normal route than in 2006.

Hi we did the Zinalrothorn by the 'Gabel Notch' route - fantastic route with a bit of everything - as you spotted from the Gabelhorn it was a bit snowy, however, we were jsut grabbing it in a weather window so it would porbably be even nicer if drier! Rimpfischorn (we did the standard WSW ridge) is also good although there is less climbing on it - just the final summit block, although that is nicely exposed near the top - all in all a bit easier.
