Nice trip report and re-affirmed my belief that I have a lifetime of climbing in my backyard and no need to venture to strange lands where you can't understand the speakers at the airport. |

My wife and I climbed the Italian arete and traversed the Matterhorn, descending the Hornli (Swiss side.) Maybe 15 years ago. A great adventure. I found that a few well placed, 'accidentally' dislodged stones eased the scrimmage for the fixed lines substantially. I also enjoyed trudging down through the ski area on the Swiss side, skiiers slaloming around us. This was before snowboarding took off, so nobody ran us over. :-) Thanks for the nice pics. |
