Who was first to climb Matterhorn?

The first successful ascent of the Matterhorn was made on July 14, 1865, by a team led by British mountaineer Edward Whymper. The party included several climbers, and they reached the summit after a challenging ascent. Tragically, during the descent, four members of the group fell to their deaths, marking the climb with both triumph and tragedy. The Matterhorn remains one of the most iconic and challenging peaks in the Alps.
