Re: ComparisonHi Corvus
1. The Weisshorn east ridge is much longer than Lion ridge.
2. The climbing difficulty is the same by the Weisshorn (eastridge) and Matterhorn (Lion ridge). Mostly UIAA III some parts are IV.
3. On the Lion ridge are a lot of fixed ropes, no? By the Weisshorn ist nothing, except some bolt.
Cheers
