Los Angeles Times, February 8:
At 3,998 meters, the Fletschhorn just fails to make the exclusive club of
a string of peaks known as the "4,000ers," such as the 4,478-meter Matterhorn.
A surprising number of mountain climbers decide against climbing the
Fletschhorn
because it is a couple of meters short of of 4,000. This represents a loss
of revenue for local merchants, who have decided to spend $72,000 to add
some rocks to the top of the Fletschhorn to take it up to 4,000 meters.
