i was in Grindelwald last Monday, just had a quick look at the wand on our trip home from lauterbrunnen. Lots of snow, also avalanche traces on the wall.

It didn't look very well, the weekend before some 40 cm snow has fallen, and we also suffered from that: kneedeep (or deeper) snow from 2500 m and up. We didn't summit anything this weekend.

Just to get you in the mood, there is a movie in German on the Eiger Nordwand
