The guides who help people up these mountains are rarely remembered but are amazing. It is like being a nurse to a dr etc. Not many if us can ever achieve our most amazing place without others. Any person who knows what they are doing and actually just loves that job and is happy to show others are precious in this life. Amazing people xx
Such a great team work in this World Class documentary. The way the introduction, presentation, history, value, point of interest of Zermatt, tourist impressions, camera angles, music arrangements, Edit work and that trilateral peak converging in a celebration love story between Simon, Aya and the Summit finally reached just squeeze me like a hug through out my sole, guts and scalp. Japanese and Swiss culture at its finest. Thank you for sharing ~
I love how this classic film introduces the greatest alps on the whole planet with some kinds of Joe Hisaishi's music.This is really attractive and informative when youtube right now floods with drone view or some HD slow motion with some electronic music.
Reaching the top of any mountain is only 50% of the success. One can only say that he has climbed a mountain when he goes up and comes down again on his own two feet safe and without injuries.
It appears that the 'director' had little experience in climbing mixed terrain and use of her gear. Still, it shows that a good guide can bring almost any person with limited abilities up a mountain like the Matterhorn. Naïve commentary aimed at armchair climbers but great quality video and scenes.
Beautiful mountain the way is composed makes the views breathtaking The mountain summit can be reached with less clamming experience still is is not for highs phobias!!
Good job pulling your client to the top, Simon. The longer length Japanese version of this show also includes much more of the prep climbs Simon took this client on. It is painfully obvious she doesn’t belong on a climb like this. She couldn’t even put on her own crampons.
Beautiful video and congrats to everyone involved, but I can not avoid to ask myself how can you go up that mountain with 6 more people you don´t really kow if they are prepare for such a challenge like this. One mistake of any of them could make all go down. I Really ask myself, how can you challenge life that way????
"Herr director" has no business on that mountain, a hopeless climber who's not even prepared properly physically, he doesn't even have the confidence in her to give her an ice axe. Dragging people like this up degrades the mountain and those who climb it.
I stumbled about that name who comes regularly when talking about her. Is it mean to be she was the film crew director or what ? Very puzzling. I noticed many times the comentary reads "the peak before them, the mountain befor them etc." I guess that should read "in front of them". It looks like the comentary was badly translated from German as in German you can say "vor" to mean either "before" (time) or "in front". (location)

fantastic script, scene and music, this documentary looks like it popped up from the 1980s
34:00 Guide is Mike Horn's budy and climbing partner on K2 acent..😀
I'm the most impressed by the guy who cooks in the hut, then casually went to save a climber hanging on a rope under a chopper.
Or as they say in Switzerland...choppa
Time stamp pleeze
Impressed with the rescue pilot and crew... "Grande cajones"..!!!! Great video all around.. THANKS...!!!

Simon the guide was great - a true professional.
17:55 Breath-taking view. The record time for climbing the North face is 1 hour and 46 minutes.
Man with his camara deserves respect
to go down is another challange. its important to take a movie doing this!

very good guide
One of the two Brits at 4:00 sadly passed away a year later, taken in an avalanche...news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/kent/8692588.stm
Was there in 2011, Awesome area - mountains is like being on another world :)

37:36 ... Why didn't she have an ice axe?
That doesn't seem sustainable. I wonder how many novices, minus ice-axes he could expect to take up that face before having the one and only accident?
@@lemmeinnowplz She hasn't a clue what she's doing, so it'd be dead weight
@@adm924s They did a training hike on Breithorn if I recall correctly. Why no ice axe training then?
Perfect one love it👍
I hope avgeek will notice the extravagant landing made by the Lama helicopter at 24'30''. It is just nutz and made with maestria
some of those guys come in the DocuSerie THE HORN. The doctor en mountain Gide
Doctor Axel is quite old now! The guide is now changing his profession to heli pilot!
Great vid well done very helpful thanks .
Good job pulling your client to the top, Simon.

She made it to the top though, says a lot about her control of fear and her determination.
@@elih9700 How'd you think she'd have done on her own ?
@@adm924s Not having a guide on that climb would be madness if it was your first time.
@@elih9700 Not really, its not a technical climb. It would be madness for her, as she isn't a climber, my whole point.
@@adm924s www.alpenwild.com/staticpage/first-ascent-of-the-matterhorn/ Yeah, not technical at all.
How does being tied to a guide save you should you fall. Would you not pull him down as well as you fall?
Read in internet: it is called short roping. The skill is to stop the fall before it gets momentum
i cant believe she has so much experience and moves like a drunk on the rock
The guide had balls to lead that girl who seemed to loose strength on the way to the top.
🖤🖤
Great video 👍🏻
Gamba,gamba!!
I was going to say going down is the scary part 😂

What time of the year is this? Is it possible to scramble up in trail running shoes without all the other gear on a good clear day?
No... this was mid-summer...you need full mountain equipment including ice tools for the Alps at this altitude.
A good book to read is "Scrambles Amongst The Alps" by Edward Whymper. First man to climb the Matterhorn
MATTERHOOOOOOOOOORN!
Cheesy narrator but great footage of a beautiful mountain
Is this the earliest route?
Wait where is the abominable snowman?
Clickbait: Ueli Steck..

Wish there was no annoying commentary
Cheese pants 😂
Are they free climbing?!
watchout for those sherpas, ueli.
I want to glide down with a jet suit
If anything happening with the guide you are going to the soup!
24:30 Landing on a Chessboard
wenn ich der frau beim klettern zuschau, wird mir schlecht :/
Mir wird zwar nicht schlecht, aber man fragt sich schon, warum sie hier oben ist ;-)
Simon's age would scare me. I would want someone older.
No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
I remember that guide Simon had a lack of courtesy, he steped over my wife's shoulder meanwhile she was resting in one of the fixed ropes
Felipe Jácome while rescueing hunderts of lifes every year. Although not a smart move of him, I assume he wasn‘t doing it on purpose...
Earth is flat!!
Leave the mountain be and dont Exploit it for commerce. Have some respect
