Matterhorn

Perfect! Last week I climbed the Matterhorn with Caroline, this was her third and final attempt (allegedly). After a cold windy start to the week everything was in place for the summit push. Finally the wind died and the sun came out. We set off from the Hornli Hut at 4.30 and arrived on the summit at 9.30. The views were spectacular and temperatures were warm enough to have a brief picnic (precarious) on top! Carolines three chilkdren and family now have elevated her to hero status. What next? I'm sure she'll be back in the winter for some ski touring.

Ciao Olly
