Hi folks wondering if anyone has ascended the Matterhorn yet this year and what conditions were like? 

In reply to Chris Willocks:

Hi. Two weeks ago there was a lot of snow but obviously things will have changed. When judging Matterhorn conditions I've found this site combined with a webcam view and forecast quite useful:

In reply to Chris Willocks:

Conditions now reported as ideal.

In reply to Mark Haward:

Thanks!

In reply to Chris Willocks:

Been yesterday with one of the guides from Exped Tribe Switzerland and we were able to summit (even if a little late during the day due to plenty of slow parties). Conditions are ideal at the moment and should stay like this for the next days ahead, even a little of snowfall is expected today. Hope it helps & safe climbs!

In reply to Chris Willocks:

When are you heading out. We are planning an ascent on Thursday the 1st of August. 

Meteo Swiss is reporting okay conditions from then until now. 

In reply to Robhendrix83:

Nice work!

In reply to New Max:

We’re aiming for Thursday the 1st too! Hoping the weather holds out. 

In reply to Chris Willocks:

If you haven’t set out yet it leaves very little/perhaps not enough time for acclimatisation.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth:

Thanks I’ve been climbing in chamonix all week.

In reply to Chris Willocks:

Sounds ideal. All the best on Thursday - please report back.
