Hi, I'm considering climbing in the Alps around Easter time. I know this is out of season but is climbing possible and what are the conditions like? Can anybody recommend some suitable peaks? I want to climb something around Alpine grade AD/D. Most of my climbing has been done in Asia so my knowledge of the Alps is relatively poor unfortunately. I'm looking for something with relatively easy access with cheap flight connections (e.g. Zurich). ...

I was wondering what most people would consider to be the definitive guidebook to climbing 4000 meter peaks in the Alps. "The Alpine 4000m Peaks by the Classic Routes" by Richard Goedek seems to be mentioned a lot, but I wanted to see if that would be the best one to get. Gerry Roaches "Colorado's Fourteeners" has proved quited useful to me in planning hikes and climbs in the Rockies, so if there was an ...

I'll be in southern Germany for about 3 weeks starting in the beginning of April and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for a good climbing/ mountaineering experience for that time of year. I'm not sure how the snow levels have been at that time of the year in the past, or how the snow is looking this year (not that it won't change in a month...).

I reworked the 3 Zinnen page and split the towers off into separate pages. I would be interested in transferring ownership of all the towers except Cima Grande, the only one I have been on. I don't want to maintain pages of things I haven't been on. I will transfer ownership only to a member(s) who will actually work on the page and who has first hand knowledge. Send me a PM if interested.
