good page about a very interesting swiss mountain that brings back nice memories to me!

I would suggest to set a link in the overview to your page about Rinderhorn and back (edit: done!)

Thank you for the vote.

I am hoping to see some of your usual very fine photos added to the page.

Looks very good, thank you for adding this.

Fred, since you climbed solo, how do you rate the risk of crevasse falls on the Zackengrat route?

Thank you for the votes here and on the Rinderhorn page.

I tried to email you, but the address here is no longer working.

I climbed this route over 10 years ago, so things have probably changed. At the time, there was a fairly good track on the glacier and the crevasses were small and open. Most of the glacier could be bypassed, only the very top section needed to be crossed.
