| Corvus | Matterhorn in one day Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2008 | |
| Climbed in one day the Mattehorn by Lion ridge. From Duca degli Abruzzi to the summit in 5 h 30 min and the same time to go down. From the "Gran corda" to the "scala Jordan" by using crampons. Absolutely a great experience, a great feat. | |

| jck | Solo. | |
| August 6,2004 I climbed solo to Refuge Carrell. Very foggy day but no snowfall so it was possible to climb without big problems. Spent a night in Carrell.During the night there was a huge snowfall. In the morning it was still snowing and visibility was really bad. Climbed few pitches above Carrell but it was to risky to continue so I decided to get back at about 4000 m. I didn't have time to spent another night in the hut so I had to get down to Breuil. | |

| One of the best climbs ever! The rock is solid and almost no crowd. The route is not as obvious as stated in the book, as there are many sections where the ropes are not visible and you wander around trying to find the right wall. The ropes help a lot but they are hard on you, you use only arm power to pull yourself up. Leaving early from the hut is the key, if you get behind some parties at the ropes you could lose valuable time. It is important on the Cervino to keep your speed up, the weather can change in minutes and you don't want to be caught on an exposed section. I was on top at 830am in almost perfect conditions (a little windy), back at the hut at 1pm with only one 1/2 break at Pic Tyndall on the descent. Highly recommended route to anyone wishing to avoid the crowds and willing to challenge himself on a more demanding route than the Hornli Ridge. | |
