To mark the 150th anniversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn in the Alps by Edward Uimpatr and his team Mammut. A Swiss company mountaineering gear turns to Bosch’s request. It was to make a special photo on this occasion, to be included in their advertising campaign. A team of climbers and climbing Hyornli lit bright red lights at sunrise. Illuminate the way in which Whymper and his team have gone in the successful ascent of the Matterhorn.
