I wonder. The first successful ascent of the Matterhorn was made on July 14th, 1865 by a team led by British Mountaineer Edward Whymper. Whymper’s team included experienced climbers from Britain, Switzerland, and France. The group reached the summit, but tragically four of the seven climbers, Lord Francis Douglas, Charles Hudson, Michel Croz and Douglas Hadow died during the descent when their rope snapped.
This event marked the end of the golden age of Alpinism and highlighted the risks and dangers associated with climbing such challenging peaks leading to the development of improved mountaineering techniques and safety equipment.
