Since the<br \/>\ndramatic first ascent in 1865, the drama and the myths have created a unique<br \/>\ninterest in this mountain, which has probably caused the deaths of more<br \/>\nmountaineers than any other. Each year, thousands of climbers attempt to reach<br \/>\nthe summit, but only one in five succeeds. And every season, the mountain<br \/>\nclaims the lives of ten to twenty climbers.  <\/p>\n<p>Steffen Kjaer describes his and his climbing partner Brian Jorgensen\u2019s attempt<br \/>\nto make it to the summit of the Matterhorn. After careful preparation and<br \/>\nperfect acclimatisation, they take off to face the challenge of their lives.<br \/>\nOn the descent, however, something goes wrong.

Moreover, it<br \/>\ncontains portraits of local mountain guides and an eyewitness account by the<br \/>\nformer American President, Theodore Roosevelt -twenty years prior to his<br \/>\ninauguration, he travelled to the Alps and climbed the Matterhorn. As a<br \/>\nfurther bonus, the stories of the book are illustrated by spectacular photos<br \/>\ntaken by the author.  <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No other mountain in the world is as fascinating as the Matterhorn.
