On the SE Ridge of the Mönch in relatively snow free conditions (L - July 1989) and very snowy conditions (R - August 1997). Photos taken in very nearly the same place.

Ridge...

Is this shot of the ridge indicative of the whole route? I am curious because it might be an option for me this July if it is not too much harder elsewhere on the route (as I am solo). NOAH

The more difficult passages on the ridge are several rock steps 3 to 4 meters high rated II - a couple are a bit awkward in the down climb - esp. wearing crampons. Also, there is a steep (about 45 degrees) snow / ice section of about two rope lenghts.
