It wasn't that long ago that mountain climbers would scale the Matterhorn on a daily basis. Not too long ago they stopped this practice. Looks like Matt's bringing them back again. I took a pic of the climbers a few years ago, and this pic of Goofy at the top & a mountain climber....
This was always cool to watch. If you're a mountain climber, Disney could be looking for you ...
