Swizz Land

Off to swizzterland to do a week of guiding but on the way out Canadian brethren and I went out Grindelwald with hopes of going sport climbing on the Eiger North face. The weather was as you could have guessed, not soo good so we retreaed to sporting climbing in the valley.
If you have never been, the swiss alps are definitly one of the most amazingly beautufuil places I have ever been. Full alpine vistas.
- Also along the way found what might be my new prefered rest day activity. Euro rally driving- I have rented a little black "sports" car and I think driving in Europe might be more fun that the climbing.
