| Heikki | Breithorn Mittelgipfel/Central  Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2009 | |
| Did the haf traverse from the east via three rock towers. Nice and dry rock but quite a lot of snow on ridges which made it more "intresting". My first +4000m peak! | |

| Started at 06.00 from Theodulhütte, no major difficulties, a long walk up, a lot of people on the route which was probably the difficulty nr 1. My first 4000m top! | |

| BigLee | Triftjigrat Route Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009 | |
| Climbed the Triftjigrat route. Completed the route in 6 hours from the Gandegg hut. Carried rope but opted to solo route as snow conditions were excellent. First people on the summit (9am). | |

| KoenVl | From Klein Matterhorn Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2009 | |
| Followed the normal route. We started early enough to avoid a to crowdy top. We stood on the top with only 2 others, while after us a whole mass was heading for the top. It might be an easy walk up to the summit, but the views on top are incredible. | |

| Fyyerrey | Normal Route Date Climbed: Jun 13, 2009 | |
| Fantastic clear, sunny conditions so views from summit were spectacular. Two of us went up the normal route with a local guide leading. Lots of deep, soft snow, so snow shoes were necessary. Note to self: next time, hire SHORTER ones! | ||

| brade | Winter Solo Date Climbed: Mar 12, 2009 | |

| boriskrielen | Breithorn all 5 summits! Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2008 | |
| First climbed Breithorn western and middle summit with Frank Haagsma, Peter-Arjen Boers and Ramon Sijmons. Few days later we climbed Roccia Nera as well all together. July 2008 I climbed the eastern and western Breithorn-twins solo from the Biv. Rossi e Volante. Did the eastern peak via a 55 degrees steep gully. | |

| Lots of people on the route, but a good start for a week long traverse of the Monte Rosa chain. Summitted in cloud some not much for views unfortunately. | |

| cackalackyclimber | Normal Route Date Climbed: Sep 18, 2008 | |
| Was hoping to finish the Monte Rosa Traverse on Breithorn after starting at the Monte Rosa Hut, but deep snow and poor weather conditions prevented us from attempting the traverse. Ended up taking the cable car up to Klein Matterhorn and enjoyed an easy, if not cold and windy, climb up the normal route. | |

| Bart | Quicky Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2008 | |

| damgaard | Normal route Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2008 | |
| Cable car to Kl. Matterhorn (87 SF is an offensive price!) 2 hours to the top along a really crowded route. Mist/clouds on the top. Continued to the mittelgipfel along the ridge. Definently worthwhile. Less people and great views. 1 hour back to the cable car. We started at 10 am, so the snow got really heavy and wet. An earlier ascend can be recommended. | |

| bc44caesar | Southwest Ridge Date Climbed: Jul 1, 2008 | |
| Scrapped the Breithorn Traverse due to poor snow conditions and followed the well-travelled dog route to the main summit. Nice end to a fantastic 6-day traverse of the Monte Rosa massif. | |

| John Climber | Easy top Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2008 | |
| With three other climbers (Joker Vk among them) were the first ones on the top that day. We came back from Bivacco Roccia Nera (at the east side of the Breithorn) over the upper glacier route of the south slopes of the mountain and went up to the top via the normal route. Clear weather and good snow conditions. | |
