Geography
Gross-Grünhorn is located in a ridge separating the two largest glaciers of the Alps: the Great Alechsky Glacier in the west and the Fischer Glacier in the east.
To the south of Gross-Grünhorn is the peak of Gros-Vannenhorn ( German Gross Wannenhorn or Great Vannenhorn), and to the north - Gros-Fischerhorn ( German Gross Fiescherhorn ).
Mountaineering
The starting point of the normal ascent to Gross-Grünhorn via Grünegghorn ( German: Grünegghorn ) and the southwest ridge is the Konkordiahütte mountain shelter ( German Konkordiahütte ), 2,850 meters above sea level), which can be reached from Fisch ( German Fiesch , 1,049 m).
Climbing History
The first ascent of Gross-Grünhorn was made on August 7, 1865 by the Bernese geologist Edmund von Fellenberg ( German Edmund von Fellenberg ) with local guides Peter Michel ( German Peter Michel ), Peter Egger ( German Peter Egger ) and Peter Inabnitom ( German. Peter Inäbnit ). [2] They climbed the mountain from the western side, from the firn field Ewigschneefeld ( German: Ewigschneefeld ), which is one of the tributaries of the Alech glacier. They successfully reached the top, despite the bad weather conditions. The same group of climbers in the previous year made an attempt to climb this peak, but then they could only climb to the lower part of Grünegghorn. [3]
The next ascent was made by American W.A. B. Coolidge ( WAB Coolidge ) with conductors Christian Almer ( German Christian Almer ) and Rudolf Almer ( German Rudolf Almer ). [2]
The route along the northeast ridge was completed on August 26, 1913 by D. von Bethmann-Hollweg ( German D. von Bethmann-Hollweg ) and O. Supersaxo ( German O. Supersaxo ).
In the summer of 1950, G. Van der Leck crossed the northern wall of Gross-Grünhorn.
The western pillar (rock pillar, buttress ) was passed by C. Blum and Fray (U. Frei) on August 27, 1967 . [3]
