First glacier climb
This was my first glacier climb and first time wearing crampons. There was a well-worn path to the peak and at least 20 other people on the mountain, but I got a guide since I wasn't comfortable with solo glacier travel. It's probably the easiest 4000+ meter peak in the Alps.
Soloed the Breithorn from Testa Grigia via the normal route. Very enjoyable day and route.

Rewarding views
I joined a group tour to the summit with Zermatters, via the normal route. Very easy ascent and enjoyable to get to such a dramatic position in such a short space of time.

Climbed from the Matterhorn Lift thing. Easy enough, but good acclimatisation, crampon and rope practice for Matterhorn itself

Good for acclimatization
This mountain is a 4000 mts peak very easy to access.

The first of many 4000-ers to come. Climbed together with Pieter and Werner from Klein Matterhorn (Normal Route). Easy ascent, great views!

What a perfect day
Thanks to the perfect weather, this was an easy and pleasant hike. We went from the Italian side using the Testa Grigia lifts so it was all pretty quick via the Italian normal route.
Lots of people, mostly with guides. Some of them funny. The summit provides probably the best mountain panorama I have ever seen.

Adopt a Climber Trip
Loved the climb. At the summit, we ended up taking on two other climbers onto our rope that were a bit freaked about descending the peak. Both were inexperienced and one was half stumbling descending the steep snow; I took the rear and kept thinking I'd have to do a group arrest with each plant of my axe.
