Re: Hello Einar !Hello! Yes, my father climbed most of the major peaks in the Eastern Alps (Grossvenediger, Grossglockner, Wildspitze, Weisskugel, Ortler) and many smaller peaks in the 1920s and 1930s, sometimes by a more difficult route, as the Hochjochgrat on Ortler. He also was twice in Arctic Sweden (Lapland) and once in the Tatras to climb. Mountain climbing was virtually unheard of in Denmark then (probably more Danes have climbed Everest now than had climbed Grossglockner then), so he might be considered something of a pioneer.

Re: Hello Einar !Yes, I have thought about it. Actually, I had written a draft in Word, when I got temporarily banned with the comment that next time it would be permanent. This understandably made me loose my interest in the project.
Now that mass bannings seem less in vogue, perhaps I should dig up the draft again and continue. There would be some great photos by my father in b/w., taken on 9 x 12 cm glass plates!
