Breithorn
The Breithorn (from German: "broad peak/mountain"; 4,164 m) is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It lies on the main chain of the Alps, approximately halfway between the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa and east of the Theodul Pass. Most of the massif is glaciated and includes several subsidiary peaks, all located east of the main summit: the Central Breithorn, the Eastern Breithorn, the Breithornzwillinge and the Roccia Nera. The main summit is sometimes distinguished by the name Western Breithorn. The nearest settlements are Zermatt (Valais) and St-Jacques (Aosta Valley).
The Breithorn is considered the most easily climbed 4,000 m Alpine peak. This is due to the Klein Matterhorn cable car which takes climbers to over 3,820 m (12,700 ft) from Zermatt for a starting point. The standard route (SSW flank) is from the Italian side of the mountain (the south side) and continues over a glacial plateau before climbing to the summit on a 35 degree snow slope. However, inexperienced mountaineers may run into severe difficulty if caution is not taken near cornices or in bad weather. For experienced climbers wanting more of a challenge, the half traverse of the Breithorn crest is another option.

Bro Away
by: ThroneStanding closer to the edge, Watch the wreckage sink again
Hold my hand its your demise, Another game to compromise
Your to blame, how could I remain the same? When its such a different
Game we play. Open doors are such a trend this day in age.
Derived from the darkest of nights. They’re searching for a more reptilious creature.
It will take your life. The watcher of an all descending future.
So blind to my mind this dance has nothing left for me. If only you could hold me closer I’ll be free.
What would you do if I took it all away?
How could you say that we never meant to be?
Sea is shaping, Where’s my knife? All I see is a bright light.
She is coming, hold it tight. Hear the call, no prayers tonight
Now is your time to shine, Lets go baby
Now is your time to rise, Lets go baby
Now is your time to fight, Lets go baby
How can they realize, Lets go baby
Drive me crazy, Lets go baby
Drive me crazy, Lets go
Never watch me call out her name. Faltered from these hips of shame
Lets go for another dawning age. Faltered from these hips of shame
