Matterhorn Climb Hornli Ridge - Mountaineering in Switzerland

On July 16-17 2024 I climbed Matterhorn via the Hornli Ridge route with my guide Luca Salvadori (https://www.guidebormio.com/). Thanks Luca for making the climb a great success!

We spent a night in the comforts of the Hornli Hut before making our summit push early the next morning. Weather and conditions were quite good, and we summited at a brisk pace in about 3 hours. It took us twice as long to get back down to the hut; the hardest part of the climb is the descent which involves a lot of high consequence downclimbing, much which was done in crampons.

An incredible mountain, and the most jaw-dropping summit I've been on. I'm really glad I made this my first climb it the Alps!
