September 1993
On the approach from above Zermatt. The Hornli Ridge is in the center to the right of the sunlit East Face. The North Ridge is on the right of the shaded north Face. Fresh early Fall snowfall.

Looking 7000 feet down the East Face from the summit ridge into Italy.
A fall from here would be disastrous because I don’t speak Italian.

This is a photo of my crotch while I was fiddling with the self-timer on the camera and trying to place the camera in the snow. The summit is in the background.
