Rimpfischhorn

The Rimpfischhorn reaches an elevation of 4,199 meters above sea level, featuring icy surfaces on its western and northern faces and steep rock walls to the east.

Leslie Stephen and Robert Liveing completed the first recorded climb of Rimpfischhorn on September 9, 1859, accompanied by guides Melchior Anderegg and Johann Zumtaugwald.

The mountain connects the Monte Rosa group with the Mischabel peaks, forming an essential part of the Swiss mountaineering landscape in the Valais canton.

Climbers typically start their ascent from the Britannia Hut at 3,030 meters, following a route that requires ice axes and crampons through glacial terrain.

The mountain ridge displays a series of rock formations called gendarmes that create a pattern resembling the spine of a dinosaur when viewed from certain angles.
