This is one of the imposing mountains of the Bernese Oberland and offers perhaps the 

 most difficult rock-climbing to be found in the Alps. It stands near Grindelwald, and on 

 that side presents a stupendously precipitous face, up which an ascent can now be made by 

 a cable elevator, which climbs 5,500 feet up the mountain side. The Wetterhorn consists of 

 three distinct peaks — the Mittlehorn (12,166 feet), Hasli-Jungfrau (12,149 feet), and the 

 Rosenhorn (12,110 feet).
