For this trip though you rise from Zermatt at 5,300 ft to the Klein Matterhorn at 12,200 ft in about 20 minutes and you can really feel the lack of oxygen when walking. Here a close-up of the Breithorn. The faint line closest to the face of the peak is a line of people that are ascending the mountain. This should put the size of things into perspective.
