Kandersteg ice climbing..... Can anyone tell me which crag Rise and Shine (WI6+/7) is located on, and where it is relative to other routes? I came across a short account of Neil Gresham doing it years ago and it being climbed by Polish climbers also, but can't find a description or topo. Any info would be very interesting!

Cheers
Andy

In reply to andyinglis:

Its at Oeschiwald, across from the Hermitage Hotel. Roughly between Haizahne and Rattenpissoir. 15 min walk in.
Its all in the Guidebook Hot Ice West, for a re-assuringly cool CHF 60+.
Glad to be of service

In reply to Graeme Ettle: that's great, many thanks Graeme! I'm still working from 'wasserfallklettern in Der schweiz' so should probably upgrade!
