World's Oldest Mountain Guide Dies Aged 103

The world's oldest mountain guide has died at the age of 103.

Zermatt-based Swiss guide Ulrich Inderbinen made the last of 370 ascents of the Matterhorn aged 90 and retired from guiding aged 95. He was apparently known as 'The King of The Alps' and misssed work through injury only once after injuring his shoulder after a slip on an icy path. He had his first dental appointment at the age of 74 and never needed to wear glasses.

'Stress and haste are unknown to me,' he said in a biography.

There's a full obituary of this remarkable man on the Scotsman web site.
