It should have been her greatest adventure: Beatrice Egli, 33, wanted to climb the 4,478-meter Matterhorn this week. Nothing came of it, there was still a lot of snow on the mountain. The climb was canceled at the last minute.
“I was ready for Horu. As we were packing up the call came that it was raining more than expected.” “There is still a lot of snow on the Matterhorn.”
Next attempt should be in August
“We had to put it off once before due to bad circumstances, but I wouldn’t let that stop me,” she says. Now it means more to them: be patient. “And I hope it’s August off so I can climb the Matterhorn without snow or ice.”
She says in a video from Hörnlihütte that it is very likely that she will not work in the next month due to the difficult conditions. From there, Beatrice Egli would ride the Matterhorn. “I have already smelled the mountain air.”
The way is the goal
In fact, Beatrice Egli was supposed to climb the local Zermatt last week. But even then, the weather thwarted her plans. “We cannot influence the weather. This is a good thing. She says optimistically: Nature has its own laws. “This mountain really defies my patience.”
Now she is inviting her fans to look forward with her. In the end, the journey is the goal. “Thank you all for sharing my excitement and continuing to send out new energy and perseverance!”
Part of the Switzerland Tourism campaign
The ascent of Beatrice Eglis on the Matterhorn is part of the “100% Peak Challenge for Women” organized by the Swiss Tourism Authority, which aims to encourage women to climb mountains. More than 250 women have participated so far, and 43 of the 48 summits of four thousand meters have climbed during the campaign period. In addition to the Matterhorn, the Lauteraarhorn, Ober Gabelhorn, Täschhorn and Dent d’Hérens are still pretty cool. (IMH)
