Hello and greetings from Zermatt, Switzerland!
Today was first day of our Matterhorn trip. We went up a series of cable cars and gondolas to reach the Fluhaple climbing area. We had amazing views of the Matterhorn today as we worked on rock climbing and movement skills.
This afternoon we went over some more gear in-depth as we prepare to head into the mountains for the next couple days to do some acclimating and more skills before making a summit attempt on the Matterhorn.
We have a great group of climbers from all over the world joining us this week here in Zermatt and we are looking forward to the next week together.
Here is a picture from our climbing area today looking over at the Matterhorn.
