    Absolute skiing G and criminal how underrated this video is, easily on par with some of the craziest ski descents ever made.

    Not sure why anyone would say this video is fake... The iron statue is definitely on the Matterhorn. On the final ridge climb you can clearly see the Weisshorn to the climber's right. Absolutely insane and incredible.

    That is some climb, that nice 'walk in the park' on the ridge on the summit, certifiable or you must be a mountain kid/goat! The descent was incredible, relentlessly scary terrain, unbelievable climbing into your binding below that outcrop and then the skiing, often frozen water-slides, and the snow was brutal ! May 2015. You my man, posted the most extreme ski video in a long time, takes guts, incredible skill and mental prep to get that done. Congratulations! And you did this alone, no ski buddy, helicopter watching you ? Wow. Very Impressive, should be a Red Bull video..this was mind-freeze stuff.

    Wow. Just wow. Excellent job. You sir, have some serious balls! I'm still trying to wrap my head around how steep that was. A very technical climb, and a very technical decent, and you made it look easy. Well, as easy as you can make skiing the Matterhorn look....What would you say that was? 60 degrees?
    That's one hell of an accomplishment that you'll remember the rest of your life. Enjoy the moment! I look forward to more of your videos!

    Does anybody know the average angle of that face? It seems pretty steep. For sure it is way, way above my skill level to ski on something like that, but overall this doesn't seem as extreme as I was imagining it would ( and that's probably mostly due to the amazing skill of Matthias).

    • @fluffyusa
      @fluffyusa 5 лет назад +2

      Dude this is extreme as F! I visited the Matterhorn twice! That's extreme steep as hell! If you want to play suicidal with your life skiing down it or going alone to climb it, your chances of dying greatly increase 10's fold! Awesome footage from this dude and glad he made alright! Prost/cheers from Bavaria!

      @thorstenreitz7302 4 года назад +1

      The average angle is around 45° over an elevation difference of 850m (some 2.700ft), with some sections being over 50°. Especially the part where he used the ixe axe is often very steep, icy and has to be downclimbed.

      Because he will most likely fall. Even the top skiers in the world will do some jump turns or parallel turns on these things. It would be so extremely hard and dangerous if he straightlines it, and since this isn't a mandatory straightline, he won't straightline it.
