Thinking of a trip to Europe for a few weeks this summer...
Just wondering about the comparison between Rainier vs Mont Blanc and the Grand Teton vs the Matterhorn. My impression is that Rainier (DC/Emmons) is comparable to Mont Blanc (Gouter/Traverse). Anybody agree/disagree? Further, I think I overheard someone saying that the Matterhorn (Hornligrat/Liongrat) is comparable to the Grand Teton (OS/Exum), just with crampons on...
Does this sound right? Anybody with some thoughts? Thanks in advance for any input.
(forgot to say, please hold all factors like weather, time of year, climbing experience, snowpack, avy/crevasse issues, etc constant --- thanks!)
