Matterhorn / Monte Cervino

Little climber, what do you think why I'm asking and begging here on this portal? Exactly because I don't have enough money for a licensed guide (1600e with all costs). Or I'd have to take a loan.
Besides, I know I'm well prepared, I know the mountain well too and I know there won't be much work with me and I won't cause problems. FOR SURE!
I don't agree that I should pay so much for a licensed guide, given that I'm not some tourist who just wants to go up there and has no clue about climbing, etc.
But I'd also like to thank here nicely the guy who led and belayed me two years ago on the German route in the north Triglav wall. And he admitted he didn't have hard work with me. I was very grateful to him....
Topic is open, request is publicly posted, now let's slowly close this topic and this lecturing...
IF SOMEONE IS WILLING TO TAKE ME ALONG AND MASTER BELAY FOR DESCENT LET'S TALK IN PRIVATE MESSAGES... I'LL BE VERY VERY GRATEFUL, TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIES, AS I WROTE.
THANKS

Will anyone go to Matterhorn this year? Is anyone willing to take me along, I'll be very grateful to him. I promise. But time is running out.....
I know what awaits me there, I've summited it once 12 years ago and I know I'll get up free solo too, for the descent, around the bivouac I'm not so sure. I need someone who masters rope technique.
PLEASE! But I don't intend to pay a licensed guide, whom you have to pay of course for guiding and all transport, parking, two nights and everything else, about 1700e! I know I don't need him given my knowledge and ability and such price is robbery for me. I also climbed the German route in north Triglav wall with a good alpinist without problems and hitches. He admitted he didn't have hard work with me. Thanks to him again here too.
PLEASE, if anyone is going. I'm seriously thinking otherwise I'd go alone too and on the way back on solo descent, if there was a problem somewhere I'd just ask someone there for abseil and pay him. And just for info: sleeping at Hornlihutte hut costs 170e per person per night. I can't cover nights for two (680e) + guide license payment + transport + gondola + parking +....
I really want to repeat it and with that finish my most active period in the Alps. Mont Blanc I already repeated 3 weeks ago with a good-hearted alpinist and I was very grateful to him. It was nice.
I can't help it Matterhorn calls me. What a feeling it was when we stood on top of Mont Blanc and I saw the king of mountains live again after a long time. How it stands out, really a mountain you can't miss.
I hope some good person will be found who wants to repeat it too and of course masters rope technique.
And a nice and successful week to all users of this portal. Uroš

Hand on heart, there are no real mountaineers on this forum,

I think the same, that there are no more real alpinists, mountaineers, those dedicated fast turbo mountaineers up here. If you don't have any useful info for me, please don't babble. Next time I'll repeat Mont Blanc of course free solo and maybe alone too, because it's possible! Just need to watch the weather very carefully.

UROS1, not everyone is 30 years old, not everyone on this forum is "turbo". Here we are of different ages and different abilities, most are mountain lovers.
Why don't you boast a bit on some "alpinist" site?

Try some FB group, say hribolazec. There are over 10,000 people there, surely someone would be found.
I myself want to go up there once, but based on my experience it's probably technically a bit too demanding

Everything is possible until a "situation" comes. Then you quickly realize that certain knowledge would be useful, which you get in alpinist school. To all ambitious visitors of four-thousanders I recommend visiting a nearby alpinist section, where you'll surely get both knowledge and company for such feats.

Tell LG. He'll surely take you. Or Redbull. With him you have guaranteed return to the valley by heli... Above all, don't embarrass yourself here and don't beg.

Looks like you've been on a few trips with LG to pick up a few words from him. Who would've thought

Too big a demand, for such an ascent you hardly find anyone to go on such a tour. For most it's enough like Kamniška Bistrica-Kam.saddle and to Brana on the hiking path. Pathless like Over Šija to Brana almost no one walks among hikers but it's popular among AO members.

Uros1, your big wish came true very quickly. Judging by nice pictures in ideal weather conditions. They say if you really want something, the devil won't stop it from happening. May such wishes come true for you in future too. Good luck, especially safe!
