Dent Blanche, one of the highest summits…
July 1862 CE
On July 12, 1862, T. S. Kennedy, after an attempt on the east face of the unconquered Matterhorn, almost reached the summit with the guides Peter Taugwalder and his son, but after a minor accident, Peter Taugwalder refused to go any higher.
Kennedy finally reaches the summit only a few days later, on July 18, 1862 with W. Wigram, J. Croz and J. Konig, despite adverse weather conditions.
