ADVENTURES : CLIMBING THE MATTERHORN

More Deaths have occurred on the Matterhorn then on Everest. One of the most beautiful and deadly mountains in the world, the Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe. The four steep faces, rising above the surrounding glaciers, face the four compass points and are split by the Hörnli, Furggen, Leone/Lion, and Zmutt ridges. The mountain overlooks the Swiss town of Zermatt, in the canton of Valais, to the north-east and the Italian town of Breuil-Cervinia in the Aosta Valley to the south. Just east of the Matterhorn is Theodul Pass, the main passage between the two valleys on its north and south sides, and a trade route since the Roman Era.

 

The Matterhorn was studied by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the late eighteenth century, who was followed by other renowned naturalists and artists, such as John Ruskin, in the 19th century. It remained unclimbed after most of the other great Alpine peaks had been attained and became the subject of an international competition for the summit. The first ascent of the Matterhorn was in 1865 from Zermatt by a party led by Edward Whymper; it ended when four of its seven members fell to their deaths on the descent. This disaster, later portrayed in several films, marked the end of the golden age of alpinism. The north face was not climbed until 1931 and is among the three biggest north faces of the Alps, known as "The Trilogy". The west face, which is the highest of the Matterhorn's four faces, was completely climbed only in 1962. It is estimated that over 500 alpinists have died on the Matterhorn, making it one of the deadliest peaks in the world.

 

The Matterhorn is mainly composed of gneisses (originally fragments of the African Plate before the Alpine orogeny) from the Dent Blanche nappe, lying over ophiolites and sedimentary rocks of the Penninic nappes. The mountain's current shape is the result of cirque erosion due to multiple glaciers diverging from the peak, such as the Matterhorn Glacier at the base of the north face. Sometimes referred to as the Mountain of Mountains (German: Berg der Berge), the Matterhorn has become an iconic emblem of the Alps in general. Since the end of the 19th century, when railways were built in the area, the mountain has attracted increasing numbers of visitors and climbers. Each year, numerous mountaineers try to climb the Matterhorn from the Hörnli Hut via the northeast Hörnli ridge, the most popular route to the summit. Many trekkers also undertake the 10-day-long circuit around the mountain. The Matterhorn has been part of the Swiss Federal Inventory of Natural Monuments since 1983.

Hi Folks!

This is Episode 1 of my New 6 Part Wilderness Expedition Series.

Follow Me and Saku through a wild island in the North Atlantic Ocean. We get dropped on the fringes of Newfoundland's 2,895km² Bay Du Nord Wilderness Reserve, an impressive untamed tract of wild country. There we will spend two months unsupported and far from civilization. The goal is to explore 300km of its uninhabited woods and waterways. But it will not be easy. It's hard work all the way but with it come rewards bigger than most can imagine!

 

The trip begins with vast lakes and tricky upriver travel, but the payoff of raw nature experiences and tight fishing lines await.

 

Be prepared to feel the elements, taste a true wilderness journey, and travel the old way leaving the motors behind.

 

The adventure begins!

 

I will air a new episode every Friday until the series is over.

Please subscribe if you haven't already and share, so you or others don't miss the ride!

All the best, and take care.

 

Justin
