Zermatt, the first ascent of the Matterhorn, Edward Whymper

Zermatt, 150 years since the First Ascent of the Matterhorn, on 14 July 1865, Edward Whymper stood on the summit.
Edward Whymper, Zermatt, Der Triumph und die Tragödie am Matterhorn, 14. Juli 1865, Wallis, Erstbesteigung Matterhorn.
Das Matterhorn ist mit 4478 m ü. M. einer der höchsten Berge der Alpen. Wegen seiner markanten Gestalt und seiner Besteigungsgeschichte ist das Matterhorn einer der bekanntesten Berge der Welt.
Edward Whymper erreichte als Erster den Gipfel. Ihm folgten der Bergführer Michel Croz (aus Chamonix), Reverend Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas, Douglas Robert Hadow (alle aus England) sowie die Zermatter Bergführer Peter Taugwalder Vater und Peter Taugwalder Sohn. Beim Abstieg der Erstbesteiger stürzten die vorderen vier der Seilschaft (Croz, Hadow, Hudson und Douglas) noch oberhalb der "Schulter" über die Nordwand tödlich ab.

Last month, I stayed at the hotel where the expedition started from in 1865. In the library of the hotel, there was a large book with many photos, drawings and schematics that gave detailed account of several attempts to ascend and even a legal case of negligence that transpired after the death of one of the climbers. I tried to find the ISBN # on the book but it must have been too old. Despite what so many people might think, the Europeans of this period were extremely intelligent and resourceful. Zermatt is absolutely beautiful.

Yes dont underestimate this mountain.or any mountain. Climb on. Be safe.

Why you not show the full documetsry and problems

[@andy99ish]

A most inaccurate account. Shame on the producer ! In reality 4 climbers lost their life while descending. Why and how exactly this happened was an issue hotly debated in the very small mountaineering world of these times.
