Sat here somewhat immobile after a hip operation I watched this Netflix documentary film about Sky Mountaineers. For anyone who likes their mountains this enters the realms of gobsmacking (or sheer madness). Towards the end the guy running up and down the Matterhorn from Cervinia in 2hours 52 minutes leaves the knees trembling. I saw the Matterhorn on crutches from Zermatt on our Alpine odessy this autumn. It took me most of the day just to wobble the 6k back down the hill to Täsch where the van was.
After seeing this we’ll be viewing the mountain in a new light when we (hopefully) get to Cervinia next spring.
