RE: The most beautiful meet of Matterhorn

in #travel7 years ago

Yes,the north face was not climbed until 1931 and is amongst 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 since the first climb in 1865, making it one of the deadliest peaks in the world.

500... O_O
one of the reasons I don't go near sports, they kill people.
