TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | A Triumphant Finale | | On February 18th (that's today!), 1965, the Italian mountain climber, explorer, and journalist, Walter Bonatti, made the first winter ascent of the Matterhorn's "North Face Direct" route. Known for his climbing panache, Bonatti climbed the route solo, an extraordinary feat, and promptly announced his retirement from professional climbing at the young age of 35. The Matterhorn lies on the border between Switzerland and Italy, and is one of the tallest peaks in the Alps. It is known for its unique geography, and has four steep faces that rise majestically from the glaciers below. The mountain is a famed test-piece for climbers worldwide and is considered one of the deadliest mountains on earth. | | |
