Hampstead News: Thursday 26th August 1909

Mr. Gerald Pinsent and his sister, Miss Frances M. Pinsent, of 16 Maresfield Gardens, and two guides met with an unpleasant experience on the Matterhorn on Saturday, when they were overtaken by a severe snowstorm, and were compelled to spend the night on the mountain. They were rescued on Sunday morning, and we learn that neither Mr. Pinsent nor his sister have suffered from their long exposure to the intense cold.
