Hello from the Hornli hutte on the side of the Matterhorn at 3260m

Today one of our private trips summit the Matterhorn. Congratulations to Whitney T. on her string effort to reach the summit. She is our fourth climber to reach the summit this year.

Our group trip is in position at the Hornli hutte and looking to make an ascent tomorrow. Our team is planning on having a 4am departure.

We will be returning back to the hut tomorrow night and spending the night here.

Have a good night from the Matterhorn
