The most beautiful meet of Matterhorn

The Matterhorn is the highest of the Alps.

##This year in August,I bring my little daughter travel to Switzerland.
##After three failures,I sIaw the most beautiful Matterhorn at last.

##The Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetrical pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 4,478 metres high, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe.

##I hope you like these photos.

never seen a mount peak this pointy, looks like the stone is too hard for the nature to break it down.

Yes,the north face was not climbed until 1931 and is amongst the three biggest north faces of the Alps, known as "The Trilogy". The west face, which is the highest of the Matterhorn's four faces, was completely climbed only in 1962. It is estimated that over 500 alpinists have died on the Matterhorn since the first climb in 1865, making it one of the deadliest peaks in the world.

500... O_O
one of the reasons I don't go near sports, they kill people.
