A fantastic end to a busy and tiring week - success yesterday on the Matterhorn Hornli Ridge.
Conditions are pretty good, with much less snow than we found on the Dent Blanche - we reached the Solvay hut without crampons despite a few patches of snow, then put crampons on at the shoulder. The summit slopes are bare ice though, and quite tricky to descend.
Unfortunately my camera was in the car boot, so no pictures...
