  • Sir John Herschel and the Breithorn

    Sir John Herschel and the Breithorn

    298 SIR JOHN HERSCHEL AND THE BREITHORN • SIR JOHN HERSCHEL AND THE BREITHORN BY CLAIRE ELIANE ENGEL HERE is a tradition according to which the Breithorn was first climbed in 1813 by a completely unknown Frenchman, Henri 1 • • Maynard and later by Sir John Herschel. F. F. Tuckett inci- dentally mentioned the fact that Sir John Herschel had told him he had ascended the Breithorn from the Theodul in 1821 ; Tuckett had never heard of Maynard.2 Lord Minto, who went up the mountain in 1830, called it Monte Rosa and said, it was the summit ascended in I822 by Sir' John Herschel. 3 His authority vvas either Sir John himself, or J oseph-Marie Couttet who had been the first guide of both parties. Coolidge accepted 1822 as the date of Herschel's climb.4 According to Tuckett, no Zermatt guide had ever reached the summit before him, in June 1859. · Now it is obvious that there is some missing link in this story, and I • • endeavoured to find it. Thanks to the great .kindness of the Rev. Sir John Herschel, the astronomer's grandson, I am able to give the com­ plete story of the second ascent of the Breithorn by Sir John Herschel in 1821. His travel-diaries are kept in Slough Observatory House, the family seat, and his grandson allowed me to read them and to have his drawings photographed. I found a few more details in Sir John's letters to the Genevese astronomer Alfred Gautier vvhich are kept in the Bibliotheque Publique et U niversitaire in Geneva.

Photo: Mike Roberts The Matterhorn is undeniably the most magnificent and well-known peak in the Alps. Its bold pyramidal shape evokes emotions of wonderment and even fear in those who view it for the first time, as its four distinct faces stand omnipotent and menacing over the green meadows below. Separated by sharp ridges, the four faces are orientated to the four points of the compass, the northern aspects within Switzerland while the southern side lies in Italy. We ascend via the Hörnli Ridge that separates the rich heritage adds to the superb facilities, including North and East Faces via a long and technical route catered huts and lift systems offering services not requiring the utmost attention from climbers.

    ALPS TRILOGY Itinerary

    CALIFORNIA ALPINE GUIDES ALPS GRAND TRILOGY Matterhorn, Mont Blanc & The Eiger ITINERARY Day 1: Arrival in Chamonix. The closest airport is Geneva, Switzerland. There are easy shuttle services from the airport directly to our hotel. We meet in the evening at our hotel in Chamonix and go out for dinner to discuss the upcoming adventure and do a full gear check. Day 2: An easy warm up climb in the Chamonix area, probably in the Aiguille Rouge area such as the Crochue Traverse to stretch the legs, start the acclimating process and get used to the style of climbing in the Alps. Overnight in Chamonix. Day 3: Another acclimating climb in Chamonix to further our acclimating, probably the classic Cosmiques Arete on the Aiguille du Midi. Today we will step it up a bit in altitude and technicality to help prepare for the more challenging Matterhorn and Eiger. Overnight in Chamonix. Day 4: Travel to the Tete Rouse Hut or the Cosmiques Hut on Mont Blanc. This is a easy day with a chance for some rest in the afternoon. Overnight at the hut. Day 5: Summit attempt of Mont Blanc via either the Trois Sommets Traverse or the normal Gouter Route, depending upon conditions and group goals. Either route is long and we get an early start, but probably not too early since we are not descending all the way back to town today. This way, we avoid some of the crowds on the summit and avoid the afternoon objective hazards on the descent below the hut. There are spectacular views from the top of Western Europe.
