Use this Guide!

This guide is designed to be functional. The interior is printed reasonably tough, UV-coated (water resistant) paper. These pages are meant to be carried along on the route, but why mash an entire booklet in your pocket?

: Remove the two binding staples from the book’s spine.

: Separate the pages. Find the ones with the scissors and cut-line icons near the page margins. Cut these pages in half, following the centerfold and the staple holes (not the cut-line icon itself).

: Fold each page to a size that fits in a pocket.

: When you’re packed and ready to leave Grindelwald, place the topo pages for that day’s climbing in a handy pocket.
