Hi all - here are some pix from my recent trip to the Swiss Alps, starting with a few days above Zermatt near the wonderful Matterhorn.
I've also written some blog posts about the experience here

Fantastic photos.
I fell in love with The Matterhorn when I was in Grade 6 and I read Banner in the Sky. I finally visited the area for a week in 2005 and got some great photos but all on film. Need to scan them I guess.
The week before I was there an old guide died in his 90s. He had climbed The Matterhorn 365 times, the last time at the age of 90. Pretty good effort.

Thanks for the feedback - always appreciated. Graham that old Zermatt guide was Ulrich Inderbinen. He guided until the age of 95! I loved something he said so much that I copied it down. "I live how I climb a mountain: my walking rhythm is slow and deliberate, but steady and determined."
