My first 4000 meter peak
Camping between Klein Matterhorn and Breithorn after walking the glaicer from Trockner Steg (the f-ing lift was broken). Successfull summit attempt on Breithorn 17th of July. My first 4000 meter peak!

4 Peaks Of Monte Rosa
We started from Klein Matterhorn and did the west peak of Breithorn. Over the next 2 days we climbed Pollux, Castor, and Ludwigshoehe before descending the Gorner Glacier to the Monte Rosa Hut. At this point I had to descend all the way to Visp to get surgery for a strange illness and we were not able to climb Dufourspitze as we had planned.
Adam, Ryan and I started from the Kleinmatterhorn cable car. Beautiful weather, great views!
We descended a bit, then headed east to Rifugio Val d'Ayaz.

Via the half traverse
The half traverse is a fun alpine rock route. Don't waste your time with the normal snow slope route.

Traverse very nice
From Rossi-Volanti Bivouac (2.25 h from Kleine Matterhorn) via Roccia Nera and East-West Traverse (AD, 5.75 h to main summit). Descend via SSW Flank to Kleine Matterhorn cable car.

Short Climb
Climbed to West Summit from Klein Matternhorn lift. Non-technical walk-up in snow. Crowded. Nice summit though and descent via ridge towards the East was nice as well.

Breithorn west summit via normal route
Two day solo trip from Zermatt (Haus Steinnelke) via Furi, Furgg, Trockerner Steg, Gandegg Hütte, Rifugio del Teodulo (Teodulhütte), Testa Grigia and Breithorn West (4165 m). Weather on summit day was nice at first (6.15 am) but then became overcast/cloudy with fog and storm during the final ascent. At least not many people climbed it from Klein Matterhorn due to the shitty conditions. Reached summit at 9.50 am and returned to Trockener Steg station at 12.50 pm.

First Alpine 4000er!
Perfect condictions to use crampons. Very early in the season, so no cable car to Klein Mat. We rent a snowmobile until 3700m...great!
Was a little bit windy early...but no winds on top.
Best season start from july as the climb bureau is closed and the teleferics was in manutention after the ski season.
;-)
A solo ski ascent from Zermatt and my first Swiss 4000'er. Had to walk a long way with ski's and full gear because more snow had melted then I had excpected. Had full camping gear with me and made a bivouac at around 3100m. Next day I summited and had a lovely time skiing down.
