    As a 21 year old, I just went to the mountains for the first time in my life (The Tatras). I didn't do any challenging trails, because of my poor condition. I almost cried going on a 1546 m above sea level trail, because I found it to be so challenging to me perosnally. But damn, was it rewarding! Now I can't stop thinking about the mountains and I want to get back there and push my limits. Mountains are amazing, they made me want to work out so I can go up there with ease, like other tourists I saw. Now I keep watching videos about Alps, Himalayas, and other impressive mountain ranges, hoping that one day I can be the one up there. This video also evoked such feelings in me. I can't wait to get back on the mountains! Thank you for amazing content that keeps my dream alive.

      You HAVE to climb Orla Perć trail in Tatras! It's the most difficult trail on polish side of Tatras but believe me, it's so rewarding. It starts on Zawrat and ends on Krzyżne, kinda difficult peaks. All of them are over 2000m asl but man, the views are insane. I'm gonna do it this summer i hope, i want to walk all of Orla Perć trail. I've been on Zadni Granat, Pośredni Granat and Skrajny Granat. When you start climbing on the ridge it get's so beautiful, word's won't even explain how perfect it was. Man I miss those mountains :c

    • @Aerodave11
      @Aerodave11 25 дней назад +9

      ​@@Dvp971 I am no expert by any means but I can give you my personal path to the summit and some general advice. Firstly you need to be very confortable with heights and exposure. I would suggest you do rock climbing, the grade in the Matterhorn is much lower than sports climbing but you need to be confortable with vertical exposure. Also the body technics used in climbing deffinetely help with scrambling. You need proper fitness as well, climbing this thing is no joke, it will take you to the limit. Obviously weather considerations and conditions near the summit. You need good technic with crampons and ice axe as the top sections are covered in ice and snow all year round and it is very exposed here as well, any miss step with the crampons in these sections will be fatal specially soloing. For soloing you don't need any of the technics used as a team, but the way down will be much safer and faster if you have a rope and know how to rapel with minimum equipment (I didn't bring the rope but I suggest you do). Also you need to acclimatize, the previous days to climbing the Matterhorn I did de Aiguille d'Entreves (3,600m) and Dent du Geant (4,000) from Torino hut (3,000m), Italy. You need to get used to alpine environments, the exposure in the Matterhorn is constant and it may drain you mentally more than physically and you are by your own. Also very important to study the route, if you don't follow the route precisely the risk of falling increases exponentially because decayed terrain. In brief you need: rock climbing, basic alpinism course (use of crampons and ice axe, auto arrest technic, etc), edges and ridges course (you will learn the technics to belay rapell etc with minimum equipment for general mountaneering). Practice edges and ridges as a team and solo to get ready for Matterhorn. I have posted in my instagram how the day I climbed the Matterhorn went down in case you want to have a look and understand a little bit more about the actual experience @davidclrt

    • @kvpc11
      @kvpc11 Месяц назад +25

      ​@Samuel-to9mu My setup was just my harness, a few Caribeaners, belay device and two personal anchors for switching between fixed sections. I recommend larger Caribeaners too- they will slide over some of the protected portion of the fixed ropes without snagging. A short ice ax works best and I brought a 60m rope but a 40m would have been sufficient. Route finding up was easy, no need to look around unless you are anchored. Pay lots of attention to the route though, route finding down was tough and it's a legitimate maze on the way down. I paced myself and didn't have any grip issues. I rappelled a lot on the way down which was time consuming and probably could have down climbed a lot more. If you have the chance go up to the glacier and climb the Breithorn and Pollux/Castor to get used to the altitude. Other than that just stay focused, keep a steady pace, watch your footing and enjoy yourself.

I know it's not quite the same of course, but what I see in this videos looks insane to me. Even the summit, where it's relatively safe, looks very scary. I have a "normal" level of fear of heights, but watching this tells me it's something I could never do (at least if you confirm that it really is as scary as the video suggests).

    Absolutely super. Video edit. You managed to encapsulate what it is to climb the mountain, without the danger. So many climbing videos show nothing but the ground being looked at by the climber - which I get…your first priority is safety not making a great edit. You managed to do both. I didn’t realize the Matterhorn has that kind of “false summit.” That arête looked gnarly. I love climbing but I need to continue working on my focus for these ultra-exposed places at altitude. Even after years of doing it, I still get scared of heights, which means I’m not focusing on the right things on approach. Someday maybe I’ll get the stones to do this legendary mountain.
    Props for the killer video man. Really well done.

    Great climb. The different climbing cultures are interesting. It’s more rare to see fixed aid like the giant fixed rope and ladder in North America where I did most of my climbing.

I never got around to doing it unfortunately but it’s fun to live it by proxy.

    Every rock in that video looked loose. I wonder how many years the peak will survive with erosion. A small video on a computer is terrifying, I can't imagine what it would be like to do that.

    Wow, that was one of the best climbing vids I've seen...... thoroughly enjoyed it. No way I could do that physically or mentally. My heart was racing and I was getting anxious just watching! I've done minor climbs and coming down is way scarier than going up. Any climber knows what I mean. Great job boys.

    Amazing video! It's fantastic to watch dreams come true. Got to climb it in July 2021 which had been a dream for me since seeing the mountain in 1970. :-) Solvey to the top is definitely pretty airy! Glad you didn't need crampons until after the shoulder. We had them on from the Solvey to the top. You're right - definitely a bit more adrenaline pump. Fun memories watching the video and like everyone else, really appreciate the professional editing and footage. Keep it up!

    This is one of the best videos of an ascent via the Hornlike Ridge that I have seen. Congratulations. I only ever had one chance at it, but big snowfall just prior to attempt made it far too dangerous for our ability; I reckon we could , maybe, have done it with your conditions ( and your excellent guide! ). Far far too old now so I am loving all the modern stuff, drones etc.
