Maybe you should start the story more epic with the name itself - The Terrifying Mountain. And then your words "is considered the most difficult 4000 meter mountain in the Bernese Alps". And then facts about east, west Eiger and so on.
good that you added this mountain now! But, as you probably know or intend to do, some infos should still be added, for example:
general routes-overview with difficulty, lengths, reputation
links with infos concerning the area, lodging, camping, huts, train/bus, weather
precise description of the getting there by car/train/bus
precise description of the approaches to the huts (maybe you could create own pages on the huts - let's see how the further discussion on this topic is going on)
maps
books

18 June 2002: Hi Diego, good that you improved the page. But you could still add, for example, an overview on all routes (difficulty, length), detailed decriptions of the approaches to the huts, detailed road descriptions about how to get there, books and maps , links to webpages about the huts. Cheers, Rahel
Lauteraar hut and Gleckstein hut are not suited for the Schreckhorn. Mountaineers that intend to climb the north face may well pass those huts, but will sleep in the Aarbivouac. I miss this important bivouac on your page. From the Gleckstein hut to the Lauteraarsattel you have to invest ca. 5 hours and only after this time you are near the foot of the Schreckhorn.
I certainly miss the description of the normal route.
1. Saw your normal route-description for the Schreckhorn ! You marked the route as a "half-day-climb" !! I would really like to do a "speed-climb" with you on the Schreckhorn! If you are really fast, you might make the ascend in 4-5 hours! The descend will take almost the same amount of time! So you end up with a minimum of TEN HOURS !! That's not half a day, but a whole day! Or do you consider the night also as normal climbing time...???
2. The very beginning of the route (the ascend to the Gaagg is not described! It became a quite difficult part, as there is almost no path visible anymore (especially not in the darkness of the early morning) and a ton of loose rocks makes it hard to climb/walk ! A preciser description might help here !
Other than that, it's great that you have added the normal route to the Schreckhorn-page !
Diego, Good page, but could you tell us more about the general/overall length of routes, nature of the climbing, etc. This could very easily be a 4-star page !!!! Thank you for your Work !

It looks that the author has never been there.

Untitled CommentHi mountaindoc
I agree with your remarks. Half a day was meant from the hut to the summit. Going down is another half a day. I corrected.
I commented that the first part of the ascent is part of the normal route and I expected that the maintainer would describe it.
