The Night The Matterhorn Bled

- It’s a vision that prompts mixed emotions, an image of beauty side by side with terror. And rightly so; for this astonishing photo of the Matterhorn’s Hörnli Ridge lit with red lamps was created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the mountain’s first ascent - an event as bloody as it was glorious.
To create the image, teams of guides set off from the Hörnli Hut armed with GPS units, altimeters and powerful Mammut X-Sun headtorches. Precision was critical: 46 lights (some of them on the heads of guides, some of them installed by them in situ) needed to be positioned equidistant from each other all the way up the fearsome ridge. Photographer Robert Bösch - famous for his work with Mammut and the Zermatt guides on a series of striking advertising photographs - was stationed at a distance, ready to capture the completed chain of lights tracing the route to the summit.
I was there back then, camping with friends at Stellisee and then seeing the Hörnligrat light up one red dot by one; it was quite eerie because at first no one knew what was going on.
Aliens
We were there in 2015 for the week of celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the first climbing of the Matterhorn and could see the lights on the ridge every night from the balcony of our hotel room. It was absolutely fantastic and a great achievement by the guides. The Matterhorn was the one mountain I had always wished to see and it did not disappoint. It was an amazing week weatherwise (very hot ) and the views of the mountain were beautiful. In my opinion, the Matterhorn is the most spectacular mountain in the world !
So cool.
Cool and why would that one person dislike this Magnificent Mission that took hard word to complete.
Spectacular!!!
Wow just wow
Awesome. Very nice idea
Cool!!
Magnificent 🥃
Wow!
Ambitious! I think the feat is climbing the Matterhorn. IMHO I prefer watching the Matterhorn illuminated naturally at sunset and sunrise. Thanks for sharing your adventure on this mighty mountain
Fliegt hin und wieder auch einer runter oder ist es easy?
i hope you cleaned the mess
not going to leave head lamps worth over a £100 on the mountain .
God this is the dumbest comment of all time.
Achso,habe noch garnicht gewusst,dass das Matterhorn in England steht.
Mount Doom
It should spell out DRINK MORE OVALTINE
Lmao
its ganesha came out from earth sahajyog.org
It's possible that someone else reached the summit long before, but no one knows about it.
And not brag about it ? no way !
If you understood what was required to get up there, you'd realize that's pretty much impossible if not unlikely.
Because 4 of the 7 people died on their way up and other teams were unable to climb it before it is extremely unlikely it was climbed ever before
I thought someone died...
They did. It just wasn’t here.
Jesus for the win.
