Page "Matterhorn" Paragraph 61

The last of the Matterhorn's four ridges to be ascended was the Furggen ridge.

M. Piacenza with guides J. J. Carrel and J. Gaspard on September 9, 1911, climbed most of the ridge but bypassed the overhangs near the top to the south.

Not until September 23, 1942, during the Second World War, did Alfredo Perino, along with guides Louis Carrel ( nicknamed " The Little Carrel ") and Giacomo Chiara, climb the complete ridge and the overhangs directly.
