"Second peak of the day. Went to Unterrothorn, then down the back and up the Oberrothorn. Not as challenging as it might appear, but worth every penny and every step. The views of the Matterhorn are riveting from every corner on the trail all the way from Zermatt. Perfect weather for the trip. Stayed at Fluehalp... excellent place. A full moon night, I could not sleep well after coming down and kept thinking of going up again- even asked if anyone wanted to go, but had no takers. This summit is also known as the Freedom Path, and is the highest unguided hike in Europe. Several large suncatchers with words of wisdom are placed along the trail. Views just got better and better with every step. Elevation gain for the trip 433m, YTD elevation gain 38419m." — MtnJohn • Sep 12, 2011
"Short hike from the Gornergrat station to the summit. Then cable-car to the Rothorn Station 3251m, to admire the view. Returned the same way. 4.0km there and back, with 270m of ascent. Accompanied by ALT, OJT, JTT and TST" — marktrengove • Aug 7, 2001
"Cairngorm Club Alpine Meet. From Zermatt with a fellow member on the normal route to Mettelhorn. On the return journey we deviated to scramble to the summit of Platthorn and back. The ascent for the day was 6600’." — peter43 • Aug 15, 1997
"Cairngorm Club Alpine Meet. With a fellow member. After an unsuccessful attempt on Dufourspitze. From Monte Rosa Hütte we reversed the hut approach route to reach Gornergrat. We followed the ridge path up the Hohtälligrat, over its summit (Hohtälli, 3286.3m) and then down the ESE ridge to a col at 3245m. The route goes on the south side of the ridge for a little way before the ridge is regained, followed by easy rocks to the summit of Stockhorn. We reversed the route and went down the Gornergrat railway to Zermatt." — peter43 • Aug 14, 1997
"Immediately prior to joining a Mountain Ventures climbing course. Solo. I left Zermatt at 08:00. After reaching Spitzi Flue went along Schwarzgrat . I climbed two pinnacles and subsidiary top. Grade II. I ascended Fluehorn 3317m – scree slopes both sides. There was more grade II climbing to tops at 3272m and 3230m. Near the summit of the latter I dislodged a small stone which rolled down the mountain, striking a very large boulder which also rolled down the mountain and across the length of the glacier to the north. I reached the path to the Oberrothorn, and used it to reach the summit of the Oberrothorn 3415m. I descended on paths back to Zermatt which was reached at 20:15." — peter43 • Aug 7, 1983
