    I am looking for a plan for climbing the Matterhorn. Should I use one of the Alpinism or Mountaineering plans. I have time do an 8 or 16 week plan.

    It depends on your climbing ability. Can you easily climb at the grade required. When I did the Hornli route I don’t think I encountered anything harder than about 5.6. If you can climb this grade comfortable in mountain boots you should concentrate on fitness. It is a long day and base fitness will play a big role in your success and enjoyment. In that case I recommend the 16 week big mountain plan.

    I hope this helps,
    Scott
