On the way to the peak

On the way to the peak

This image shows part of the “face” of the Matterhorn, right below the top. If you zoom in you can make out 3 climbers on the shoulder (where the snow is) one close to the top, one about in the middle and one shortly below that one (diagonally). Can you see them? =)

I took that out of an “Air Zermatt”-helicopter, flown by one of those fearless pilots rescuing people out of the mountains. All too often they can only retrieve corpses.

I uploaded it for the calendar, but I hope you like it, too. I love the texture of that rock, the brown part is a vertical drop a few hundred meters deep.
