| boriskrielen | Route climbed: westridge solo Date Climbed: Oct 5, 2009 | |
| Climbed the normal route solo a few days ago. Weather started nice. When reaching the summitridge clouds came in with a strong wind,makning the final part quite exciting. Descending in a complete whiteout was also time consuming. Especially cause most snowbridges had by now disappeared. Plan was at first tomake a double with Nordend, but unfortunately the weather had other plans. Will be back one day for Nordend. :-) | |

| mooliczek | Normal Route from MRH Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2009 | |
| We had an incredible luck with only one day of a good weather. Started at 3:30 AM from a bivy at Untere Plattje, we reached the summit 7 hours later. Great snow conditions at start, got bit nasty later on, in the afternoon. The summit ridge was mid-covered with snow, some tough ice found also there. We got back to our bivy at 4 PM. Very satisfied! Trip report (in Polish) and some pictures from our climb - see here | |

| cackalackyclimber | Normal Route Date Climbed: Sep 16, 2008 | |
| Made it to the beginning of the rock above the icy slope around 4500m and had to turn back due to temps of -13C & winds around 100k/hr. We had to turn back the day before much lower down also due to poor conditions. 50cm of fresh snow on the glaciers also made the going a bit more difficult. Despite tough conditions and missing the summit, it was a tremendous climb with unparalleled scenery! | |

| Climbed from a bivouac site a few hundred meters above the Monte Rosa hut. Cold, windy (especially the summit ridge), lots of snow on the summit ridge. Some tricky solo climbing on the ridge. Great views! The weather closed in as soon as I climbed down from the summit. | |

| bc44caesar | Normal Route, Traverse to Margherita Hut Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2008 | |
| Started at the Margherita Hut at 3am, reached the summit around 10:30am. The traverse looked dicey, with a lot of snow-covered rock and unprotected moves, which, while easy, were often quite exposed. Long day, but rather exciting. | |

| gharley | Normal Route Date Climbed: Aug 19, 2007 | |
| The ascent was great. 14 of 18 climbers summitted that morning. It took Scott and I 7hrs 15 min to summit from Monte Rosa hut. Most decended down the east side between Nordend and Dufour, though we took the west ridge back due to a traffic jam. The down hill was long but we could glissade a bit. After a beer and some recovery time, we hiked back to Rotenboden to get back to town. The hike back to Rotenboden felt MUCH MUCH longer than on the way to the hut! Tips: definitely scout out the moraine and crevasses the day before you climb. the path to ob plattje goes straight up through the middle of the moraine. follow the cairns. I have a much more detailed account, pics, and video of the climb on my blog, though it could be considered a spoiler, your choice. http://gabeharley.blogspot.com | ||

| jvdm | Dufourspitze Date Climbed: Jul 13, 2007 | |
| It is a long way from the Monte Rosa hut but the summit is so nice! Descended by the fixed rope on the east face. This contributed to the fun. I don't think the summit ridge is very nice on a windy day. | |

| mulidivarese | take a dream Date Climbed: Jul 29, 2007 | |
| I have planned this climbing for many years. And every year there was something wrong that did not allowed me to take the challange. also this year it seemed to be another time the wrong time but.... From Monterosahutte toghether with Daniele and Carlo. 5 hours and 30 min. Wonderfull day, perfect snow, no wind. We climbed the normal way from Monterosahutte and then we went down by the roops on the Silbersattle side. Very convinient Valerio | |

| toppert | Marinelli-couloir Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2004 | |
| Nice climb in the last days of the saison. From the Mrainelli-bivouac, across the Marinelli-couloir to the Dufourspitze, then down to Zermatt and hitchhiked back to our car near Mattmark-stausee (near Saas). Hit&Run from Holland when the conditions where perfect. I climbed with Maarten Pluymaekers. | |
