Jim McVey, of the Massachusetts McVeys, dashed over for a very quick ascent of the Zinal Rothorn.

The sign at the hut, so there is no mistake as to which way to start.

The Breithorn and Klein Matterhorn at sunset from the hut.

The summit structure of the Zinal Rothorn

The Matterhorn, Wellenkuppe, Dent d'Hérens, and the Obergabelhorn.

Just below the summit.

Still just below the summit, but getting closer.

Ah, here we are!

On the descent, back down on easier climbing.
