| Artoirius | W-Ridge from Tiefmatten Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2007 | |
| Normally we had climbed the normal route from Rif. Aosta, but due to the warm summer conditions, this was too dangerous for loose rocks and bad snow conditions. This route is extremely beautiful but exposed at some points. | |

| Corvus | Normal route from Aosta ref. Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2008 | |
| We stopped to climb on the traverse for reaching the Tiefmatten ridge, 150 m below the summit. Unfortunely the day before there was a storm and the rocks were completely covered of fresh snow....too dangerous. Some climbers before us reached the summit and came back to the Aosta refuge at 10.30 pm after 18 hours! At the end the ours was a prudential decision. | |

| Jeroen Vels | Route climbed: NW Face from Schönbielhütte Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2007 | |
| Long route over different sorts of terrain. From the hut cross the glacier, go over Stokji, traverse another glacier, climb the icefall and the last glacier. From here it still is a 1000 meter climb. Average of 50 degrees, parts up to 70 degrees. Very nice and varied tour, but due to worsening conditions of the glaciers harder than stated in the guidebooks... Partner: John Scoles | |

| So sad I couldn't climb to the summit. But the fault was my own... I'll soon be back to reach the top. | |

| we wanted to do the normal route from Rif. Aosta. But because of this very hot summer, this was too dangerous because of seracs on the glacier and pure ice and loose rocks in the S-flank. So we climbed the W-ridge from Tiefenmattenjoch (partly UIAA III). There the conditions were fine and this can be recommended if the rocks are free of snow. I'm very sorry that we reached the summit in clouds, so I could not take a picture of the surely impressive view to the Matterhorn. I will return some day for a ski tour to the fore-summit. Compared to other 4000 m-peaks, it is almost lonely here! | |

| Farmer | Route Climbed: NW Face Date Climbed: aug 2001 | |
| From Zermatt we (F and B.v.d.Doel and L.Boer NL) walked to the Schonbielhut. 5h. 1 h from the hut we made a bivac near a small glacierlake. Next day we went to the NW face (D) of the mountain. The route until the foot of the mountain is easy, but at some stages you have to make pace cause off dangerous seracs (N-face) (2.5h). The NWface itself was also pretty tricky. After 2.5 hours of dangerous climbing (40º with short steep passages 80º ) average and we reached the westridge which lead to the summitrocks. In good qualityrocks (III) its now .5 h to the summit. Perfect view all over the alps... Its not very difficult but be carefull and go fast at some stages. (total time appr.6-8h ) | |
