NikmanStandard traverse e-w  Sucess!
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.

joe_akeemFantastic!  Sucess!

We did this in summer of 1998 in 8 hours from the Klein Matterhorn station and back. Started with Roccia Nera. Had a little intermezzo with a rope that got caught at the second rappel.
