Ulrich Inderbinen, Swiss mountaineer and guide (born 1900)
Ulrich Inderbinen
Ulrich Inderbinen was a Swiss mountain guide famous for his longevity and love for mountain climbing. He had been on the top of Matterhorn over 370 times and made his last ascent of it when he was 90. Though he was not the first to summit the Matterhorn, he may have done it the best. His fame laid not in conquering mountains but safely guiding visitors to the top.
