hiking: oberer grindelwaldgletscher


This morning we hiked up to the Oberer Grindelwaldgletscher. What we thought would be a quick and easy morning jaunt became a climb up narrow passages on rather rustic ladders...even better than we hoped. The morning light was lovely, and we spotted our first wallcreepers (a beautiful bird that lives on high cliffs and flashes bright red on the undersides of its wings). What an unexpected treat! We raced down, and back to town, arriving just in-time for Derek to make the noon conference start.
