Almer was born in Grindelwald, Canton of Bern, where he also died.
Almer gave his dog Tschingel to the 17-year-old West. A. B. Coolidge after a failed attempt on the Eiger. I do not clearly recollect hearing of Tschingel till July 11, 1868. On July 8 we all three made our first high climb together (the Wetterhorn) and on July 11 started from Little Scheidegg for the ascent of the Eiger.
But the rocks (as often) were glazed, and we had to retreat.
He died at Grindelwald in 1898. 1857 Mönch (Bernese Alps)
