Not via ferrata
Took the cable car to first, then got on the trail. Opted not to do the via ferrata route. Talked to two people that did and they said they were getting buzzed by fighter jets and almost being shook off the ladder. No thanks. Shorts and t-shirt weather

Klettersteig
The via ferrata started promisingly enough, with about 30m of interesting class 4. Then there were the ladders, and after that it was all over except for the walking. Well, it was more interesting than the hiking route I guess. Got fogged in while still hiking up the valley, so I never really got to enjoy the magnificent views. Despite it all, a very worthwhile day.
Nice and very rewarding hike (what a views!), but long (started at Hotel Wetterhorn (1230m), up to the Grosse Scheidegg and further till the Schwarzhorn).

Via Klettersteg SW ridge
Climbed this via SW ridge and the easy klettersteg there. Pleasant outing!
Climbed a few times, from deep snow, to the Klettersteig, which is always fun

Klettersteig
The Klettersteig is a fun route, with 5 ladders that tackle a steep wall. We started quite late, and missed the last gondola of the day . It's a long steep hike back to Grindelwald.

Nice summit with potentially terrific views over the Berner Oberland. I had a little bit too much clouds for that, although the Schwarzhorn summit itself was clear. Anyway, it was a nice trip and I had a enjoyable day.

First Via FerattaWent up the Via Feratta route. Hiked through a cloud so we didn't get a great view from the top, but had amazing views on the way up.
