Hi Bacon,
The Matterhorn is currently falling apart. There is an alarming amount of rockfall coming off, day and night. Rockfall avalanches are a better way to describe it. If you like that kind of thing though...
If you want to avoid the fixed lines of the Hörnligrat or the Liongrat, try the Zmuttgrat. It goes at III+ UIAA. The routes are all about 1200m long. The descent is also quite long - be prepared for four hours of downclimbing up to grade III.
Hope this helps.
+A
