| Rafa Bartolome | Roccia Nera  Date Climbed: Apr 30, 2007 | |
| We climbed Breithorn-Roccia Nera from Klein Matterhorn in a bad day with snowfall in the summit and the return across the glacier. No views, but a new 4000m. | |

| Nikman | Traverse from E to W Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2003 | |
| I traversed all five 4000 meter summits in the list of the UIAA from east to west. 1st day: took the train to Gornergrat, from there to Monte Rosa Hütte. 2nd day: from Monte Rosa Hütte to Bivacco Rossi e Volante. 3rd day: traversing Roccia Nera and all 4 Breithorn summits and return with cable car from Kleines Matterhorn to Zermatt. Clouds on our summit day gave us almost no view unfortunately. I remember big crevasses in the summer of melting glaciers back in 2003. I am not sure about the exact date of the summit day, so don´t nail me on that, because this has been almost 4 years ago and we were travelling 3 weeks all over Europe that summer. The pictures of my old digicam only show the date when I downloaded them to my computer. | |

| It's good choice to get an acclimatization, I think. Done during one day, without guide. | ||

| johan | Altitude and Breithorn Date Climbed: Sep 30, 2006 | |
| Went to Breithorn. Technically it is very easy but part of the group felt the altitude and we decided to turn back. Weather was mostly good but at times clouds came in. | |

| Herb | Normal route Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2006 | |
| Did the normal route with my girlfriend Irene. We had a complete whiteout on the day before, so after some hoping and waiting we went back and did a hike to the Hörnli hut. But on the 31st of august we received the reward for our patience - it was a cloudless day with ideal conditions and not too many people (we even had the whole summit for ourselves for a few minutes to enjoy the panorama from Gran Paradiso to Mt. Blanc, Matterhorn Weisshorm, Dom, etc. and back...). | |

| mulidivarese | Traverse Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2006 | |
| Traversed from Roccia Nera to Breithorn West in two days. The forst day we left Plateu rosà quite late (we arrive from Milan) at 12.00. reached Roccia Nera at 14:20 we traversed Breithorn twin 4106 and Breithorn East. Then at the beginning of the rocky ridge of the Breithorn Central since it was quite late (about 17:45) we quit and we descended to the Refuge Guide Cervino. The day after, the 23th August we came back to terminate the traverse. Wonderfull sunny days, a lot of snow on the rocks with a lot of ice valerio and Massimiliano | |

In less than 5 hours both the summits and back. wonderfull clear and sunny day, but cold and windy. One of the few of this wet, rainy and sad august | |

| camp-1 | Mountains in demise Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2006 | |
| My first 4000 mtr peak is sick, she losing weight at an alarming rate. You can see on the picture that the rocky outcrop on the west face is getting bigger each year, more and more crevasses open up on the face itself and the local guides consider it to be more and more dangerous every year. This week guides told their client's that they wouldnt take them up several times. The upper Theodull glacier fails to reach the lift station at Trockener stegg for the first time. I'm afraid its going to be a lot worse next year. I say bollock's to global warming ! | |

| Renardo | Fun climb! Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2005 | |
| If you have any experience at all you probably don't need a guide. Just follow the footpath. This was my wife's first climb with crampons and ropes but she did great! | |

| Rafa Bartolome | Normal route Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2006 | |
| Beautiful mountain in a marvelous place surrounded by Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, Linksmann, Polux, Castor, the area of Ripfishorn-Allalinhorn, Weisshorn-Zinarothorn...very great landscape, it's very special. The normal route is very easy and I think is too short (less of 2 hours) but if you don't had much time is the only way to climb. I'll try to back in the future for a route with most interest in this area. | |

| jck | From Plateau Rosa Date Climbed: Jul 15, 2006 | |
| Day 1 Zermatt-Trockener Steg(walking)-bit rainy. Day 2 Trockener Steg-Plateau Rosa(sped a night in a old shelter)-we decided to wait till next day because of bad changing weather. Day 3 Early start-first persons on the top that day-great weather. We didn't climb the wall directly but traversed to pass between main and central summit and followed the ridge to the top. That day we descended to Zermatt. | |
