	Weisshorn, East Ridge
		The Weisshorn deserves a fame and popularity equal to the Matterhorn, but we're just as glad if the shadow of its more famous neighbor keeps the crowds relatively small on this beautiful peak.
		Towering to 4506 meters, 14,780 feet, the Weisshorn is a massive 3 ridged pyramid, rising above the Zermatt valley downstream and to the north of the town.
		Its normal route via the East Ridge is physically and technically demanding, with long sections of 4th and easy 5th class, a tricky and exposed rock ridge requiring care and the occasional belay, and a summit snow or ice slope up to 45 degrees.

		The Weisshorn is not as popular as the Matterhorn is, but is a higher peak towering to 4506 meters.

	Weisshorn
		The Weisshorn has 3 knifesharp edges, all the faces are steep and long(approx.
		But that is nice, because if you have experienced the crowds at the Matterhorn, you know that a mountain with few people and no guides who think the mountain is their's, is a very good thing.
		The Weisshorn hut (2932m) is right at the foot of the mountain's east ridge.

	The Alps - The Weisshorn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The crown of the Weisshorn was imbedded in this magnificent light.
		The echoes resounded from side to side, from the Schallenberg to the Weisshorn and back, until finally, after many a deep-sounding thud in the snow, the whole troop came to rest at the bottom of the mountain.
		This stone avalanche was one of the most extraordinary things I had ever witnessed, and in connection with it I would draw the attention of future climbers of the Weisshorn to the danger which would infallibly beset any attempt to ascend it from this side, except by one of its arêtes.

	Ascent of Weisshorn in 1974
		As I could not find a mountain guides' office in Randa, and as the Weisshorn seemed to be outside the range of the Zermatt guides, I had a bright idea, and found out what the phone number was to the Weisshorn hut.
		Randa is at 1400 m altitude, the Weisshorn cabin at 2900 m, and the summit of the Weisshorn at 4505 m, so I would have to climb well over 3000 m within less than 24 hours.
		On the summit of Weisshorn, August 6, 1974 with Matterhorn as a backdrop.

	ISM - Weisshorn climb - Alpine Guides
		Many connoisseurs of alpine mountaineering consider the Weisshorn to be the greatest of all alpine peaks.
		It will be of great benefit for anyone taking this course to be acclimatised before the start of the week (preferably having taken another ISM course so that we are happy with your capabilities and have had a chance to work on any weaker areas).
		The traditional 'high season' for the Weisshorn is mid-July till the end of August.

	SummitPost.org - Weisshorn - Schali
		Since the route from the Weisshorn hut to Schali bivouac is prone to stone and ice avalanches, we preferred the western route and spent the first night at the Arpitetta hut at 2786 m.
		Driving over 200 km to reach Zinal (1675 m), we believed that this ascent is enough and we did not want to spend all our energy on the first day.
		At about 4300 m, the ridge ends in a color that leads down to the Weisshorn glacier on the western, Arpitetta side.
