Route Climbed: Normal route Date Climbed: 28 Aug 2005  Sucess!

We walked up to Rifugio Theodulo from Cervinia in an afternoon and spent the night there. In the morning we plodded up the piste to Plateau Rosa then up to the plateau by Klein Matterhorn. Lovely sunny day, scores of people on the peak, hundreds of skiers. I ran out of steam at Col Breithorn and retreated to Cervinia by cable car (about 12 euro). The next day I took the cable back to Plateau Rosa and plodded easily up to Occidentale - about 3hrs in brilliant sunshine.

This is a lovely easy outing as long as the weather's good. In a white-out you could easily walk over the cliff or down a crevasse.

Nice experience like Allainhorn. There is very few 4-thousanders when one can be on the top and eat braekfast and dinner at home the same day ;-)

Climbed the Summit in snow storm with no views at all. It was our acclimatization and coming from Cervinia we did not use any cable cars. It took two days to climb the Summit.

Climb #6 on the Breithorn. Took four total beginners out as a ski tour. Cass had never worn a harness before, and the most experience was Ben with one easy snow climb under his belt (during that one we had to show him how to put on the crampons). All of them were skiing intermediate at best -- it was in fact the first "off piste run" for two of our team. Really hilarious watching them muppet their way down the mountain. Everybody had a blast.



Great fun and sure to do it a seventh time.

It was a fun climb and the views are fantastic. While trying to take a picture as I was coming back down I stumbled on my crampons, which showed everyone that I was a rank beginner, but all that was hurt was my pride.

Route Climbed: Normal Route (on skis) Date Climbed: Sept 12, 2005  Sucess!

Gonna see how many times I can climb this thing before I leave mid-November. :-)



This one was the best of the five though... first tracks on skis (although a dozen or so on foot ahead of me) in 25cm of beautiful powder snow. The 15 second decent not perhaps worth the 1 hour ascent, but good exercise. Finished off doing tricks in the Zermatt Gravity Park.



Amazing how many get so kitted out and serious about what is basically a dead-easy 1 hour walk in the snow! Passed many very serious-looking guided groups...

I climbed the Breithorn occidentale to Breithorn centrale from Piccole Cervino. The second ridge was not easy because there wasn't the path cause a lot of snow. Then we went to rifugio Guide d'Ayas.

Nice walking from Plateu Rosa.

Easy and very nice, but so much people around!

We did the Breithorn W then we traversed to the Breithorn Central and we went down.

Easy with wonderful view

Dusted off the skis for the first ski season of the winter! Seems 50cm+ fell up there, but unfortunately the wind got to it before I did... conditions going up were perfectly fine. The ski down was, well... better than *walking* down anyway. Nice to be back on skis and out on such a fine afternoon. Finished off hitting kickers in the Gravity Park.
