No, I missed out several times because of the weather :( The last time I wanted to go, I booked and paid for a private guide, and the weather went :twisted: ...then as soon as the weather cleared the guide agency said they had no guide available :evil: Personally, I think I was gazumped!
Got the money back tho!
Most of the tourist route is spectacular, and safe, as long as you stay away from crevasses and do what you are told to by your guide. The guides normally rope up their clients for the walk on the arete.
