| From Monte Rosa hut. Beautiful views of the matterhorn on the way and we trekked all the way from Zermatt and back to Zermatt on the way down. SPICY summit ridge climb, we encountered mixed conditions-steep snow, ice, steep rock scrambling with crampons. Free soloed the entire route with Matthew Sharples. Descended opposite side down icy chute with fixed lines which were iced over. Using a hand line was a little sketchy as usually these sections would be rappelled. Massive storm and powerful thunder overtook us right as we got down the mountain. We were scared witless and almost ran down the mountain because the air was so charged with electricity, got a bit spooked and I even felt a fuzzy sensation, sort of like a little jolt at the very upper part of my forehead. | |

| cabouckaert1 | Great summit! | |
| Climbed from Citta di Mantova. Found it to be fairly long walk but great when you arrive at the summit and are at your final destination for the day! | |

| mooliczek | Final point Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2011 | |
| Our final target that day. After climbed up several surrounding peaks, we arrived at Capanna Margherita quite tired and sleepy. Nice service in the hut :) A part of our trip around Monte Rosa's plateau. Climbed in perfect weather with Igi. | |

| Valtho | Magnificent hut Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2011 | |
| We came from the Quintino Sella hut and climbed Lyskamm Il Naso, Lowenshohe and Parrotspitze before. We reached the hut finally in a afternoon snow storm but what a great hut at 4500m! | |

| markhallam | Most amazing hut in the Alps! Date Climbed: Jun 10, 1982 | |
| Climbed the Signalkuppe in 1982 and spent 2 nights up at the Margarite Hut, up on the summit. The low atmospheric pressure was apparent when one of my companions opened a container of milk powder, which then erupted like a mini-volcano, plastering him in milk powder from head to foot. | |

| hansw | From the Sella Hut Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2000 | |
| From the Sella hut we went over Il Naso (4100 meter) on to the Monte Rosa trail. In good but windy conditions we traversed the Parrotspitze before reaching the Margherita hut on top Signalkuppe. Coming next morning there was no visibility and we had to cancel Zumsteinspitze and Dufourspitze and instead delicately find our way down the Grenzgletscher to the Monte Rosa hut in poor visibility. (July 27, 2000). | |

| Satuday the weather ws sunny and warm. Wonderfull snow from the top down to Gressoney. But unfortunalty when we left the Gnifetti Hut at 6 AM of Sunday 5th April was snowing and foggy. In 1:30 we reached the Lysjoch and then.....we wait a while but we were not lucky. The fog turned even thicker. Then we skied down all the way till gressoney. MdV | |
