It was first climbed on 29 June 1865 by Edward Whymper, Christian Almer and Franz Biner, a fortnight before the fateful first ascent of the Matterhorn.
The mountain was first climbed on 25 June 1864 by A. W. Moore, Horace Walker and Edward Whymper with the guides Michel Croz, Christian Almer the elder, and Christian Almer the younger.
The summit was first reached on 23 July 1862 by H. B. George and Adolphus Warburton Moore, with guides Christian Almer and Ulrich Kaufmann.
The first direct route from the valley of Lauterbrunnen was opened in 1865 by Geoffrey Winthrop Young, H. Brooke George with the guide Christian Almer.
As a result, Whymper hired the services of Christian Almer, who had been with Alfred Wills on the Wetterhorn in 1854.
The two climbed together for over ten seasons, and were joined in many of their adventures by Tschingel, (1865 – 1879), a small dog their guide Christian Almer gave to her nephew.
