I'm headed out to Switzerland next month for 10 days or so to do some alpinism, and I have a few questions:
1. What's the Swiss equivalent to the OHM in Chamonix?
2. I'm hoping to do my first Grade IV route that might require a bivy. Any suggestions for routes at the AD/D- level?
3. Is AAC's Global Rescue thing the best insurance option for a US-based climber, or does the Swiss taxpayer foot the rescue bill ?
4. Any suggestions for a good introductory AD+/D- north face route?
