In reply to BDB747:
I did half of it in 2005; we baled out because the weather was looking as though it could get nasty (it did).
There's nothing about your previous alpine experience in your profile, so sorry if this bit ist superfluous:
There are worlds of different between a British VS and a UIAA V- on the hardest Bernese 4000er. I was climbing at around E1 at the time and was mighty glad to have the feeling that I had something in reserve. If I'd been a VS climber I think I' have been scared witless. It's a very long day out, you have to be fast and sure of yourself, and there's no time to be placing pro every couple of metres; you have to be able to run it out safely and confidently while carrying a rucksack. We started the pillar in climbing shoes and changed back to big boots for the abseiling (no bolted belays).
Hope you consider your plans carefully, and that you have a great day should you get on the route!
Edit: PS it's Schreckhorn (roughly translated: Terrorhorn )
