Great video! Especially since my daughter (neon green helmet) was right behind you and we can see her! We were there at schwarzsee restaurant waiting for her to climb out. Thanks for posting!
Great achievement! Hope to try this next year. This video really gives a good sense of the level of fitness required. Will check out the guide you posted.
Awesome vid and achievement 👍👍 Your guide climbs like a mountain goat 🐐 💪 music track is epic fave of mine, good luck not getting copyrighted 😃 Again, awesome vid bro
This is an amazing video in all the aspects especially the video quality and the atmosphere clarity. Absolutely loved it. Wish I could see how did you traverse at 9:25
Hello, this is a FANTASTIC video, really shows the steepeness of the Matterhorn. Im currently making a video about it and would love to use your footage with permission? Would put your name on screen and link in the channel. Of course understandable if not
There are no words - it's just incredibly beautiful! 😍😍😍 It must have been very difficult! It was cold on the top? (how many degrees was?) In general, how much mountaineering do you need to do to climb the Matterhorn? How much knowledge do you need?
In general temps were mild during our climb, I was surprised by how warm it was. It was probably around 1° C near the top. You could learn the skills needed for Matterhorn in a few preparatory climbs; I know some guides will take clients after 2-3 prep and instructional climbs on smaller peaks. Definitely need good crampon technique on steep slopes, ice axe self arrest, some basic knowledge of rope management and anchor tie in, rappelling, etc. Plus the fitness to climb a very steep 1200m (4000ft) in under 4 hours, probably 3.5hrs by the pace set by most guides.
Best video of many I have watched on the Matterhorn.... was it a 1 on 1 guide on your climb?. His rope and belay management was a joy to watch! :-) Looks like you had to keep going at a good clip the entire way! I am sure the own climbing was challenging as you mention especially when you were a bit tired. Did you use an Insta 360 camera on a stick in your pack ? Nice climb and video, congrats. Bob
Thanks Bob, glad you enjoyed it. Yes most guides (maybe all?) for Matterhorn will only do it 1 to 1. I did use an Insta360 X4 on a stick on my pack. I had to keep it a little tighter (closer to my back) than I would like to avoid chances to accidentally cause rockfall on this route. Ideally it would be mounted a little farther away from my head, but had to keep it tight on this one.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. You did it in 3,5hours up. Two questions: 1. How was your pace comparing to our climbers on the wall - faster or slower? 2. How long was the descent? Congrats
We passed quite a few parties on the way up so we were a bit faster than average. But I was quite slow on descent, it took about 6 hours to get down (though no one passed us on the way down). I think the descent would be quicker if there was less snow and ice on the route, but it there was a lot when we climbed.
They make a "Insta360 Third-Person Backpack Mount" which is what I used. It's unfortunately quite a bit heavier than it needs to be, which is definitely a downside for climbers.
I'd prefer less distortion too, unfortunately for this particular climb I had to mount the camera quite close to my head so I had to make the POV wider otherwise you'd mostly just see my helmet in the footage.
Thanks! The gloves I wore were "Hestra Ergo Grip Active Wool Terry". Excellent gloves, but honestly I could have taken them off at parts of the climb, it got warm enough the rock would have been easier to grip without them.
@@ledged_up thank you, I did the climb two weeks after you, got unlucky with the weather, and made it only to the Solvay. However I noticed my hands were getting really cold because I'd taken my gloves off at the beginning cause I got too warm and by the time I had them back on, my hands didn't warm up.
Haven’t watched yet but sooooo excited! Sub’d after watching your video of that alpine route on long’s peak (I hiked the keyhole route). This is my dream mountain to climb! My hands are sweaty just typing this haha. I leave in a week to climb mt. Whitney and I’m going to consider it prep for the Matterhorn. Hopefully within the next 2 years! 🤙🤙
Thanks for your kind words, I hope you enjoy the footage I got, it should hopefully inform your attempt. It's an incredible climb, some of the most dramatic exposure and best views of any I've done, and the summit is a trip. If you go with a guide, know that the European guides set a fast pace on this mountain so it is more challenging than other "14ers" because of how fast teams have to move, and you want plenty in the tank for the intense downclimbing. Training for a slightly faster pace is recommended. Well worth any effort! Enjoy Whitney!
@@ledged_up that footage was amazing! Nice work hoofing it up there! It doesn’t seem too technical but only in a few places. I will most definitely be using a guide like you did! I do enjoy sport and trad climbing and the exposure looks great, but I agree, the pace looks very fast. I’m from PA and I’m going to do Whitney broken up into 2-3 days. So I’ll need lots of conditioning for that trip! I saved your guides info, perhaps I’ll get in contact with him at some point soon. Great job again and thanks for sharing your experience!

WOW - Another incredible climb - Thanks for the ride-along!! A VERY long sharp ridge & Strong effort there. Cheers Ken
SUPER!!! Thank you so much!
Great video. Very true to my experience on the Matterhorn. Party climb. Mixed conditions. Very unique.
Great achievement! Hope to try this next year. This video really gives a good sense of the level of fitness required. Will check out the guide you posted.
Perfect video the wide angle lens make the difference, we can understand what climb the mountains means for real....
Great 360 footage! A lot more snow than just last week when we climbed. Congrats! 💪🗻
congratulations, incredible climb
Absolutely amazing my brother 🙌🙏🙏 keep climbing,stay safe and healthy 💪💪💪
Thanks Gyan! Great to hear from you, I hope you and your family are well.
Congratz!! 🎉
Awesome vid and achievement 👍👍
Your guide climbs like a mountain goat 🐐 💪 music track is epic fave of mine, good luck not getting copyrighted 😃
Again, awesome vid bro
Nice video shots. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing video and epic weather. I'm quite surprised that your guide didn't anchor himself. If you fall he falls???
This is an amazing video in all the aspects especially the video quality and the atmosphere clarity.
Absolutely loved it.
Wish I could see how did you traverse at 9:25
Fair amount of snow on the route that day
Damm so much more snow ! I’ve done it 10 days after you and we had to put our hiking pikes 100m up after Solvay

Fine with me as long as you give attribution! Thanks for reaching out.

Thank you for the wonderful video. It's snowy. When did you go?
The summit day was this July 17th, but they got a lot of late season snow this year (more than usual) so the route was only just becoming manageable.
@@ledged_upThank you. I'm going to climb on July 31st. It was helpful.
The raw material is excellent - must have been a very exciting climb. Just not sure about the highly distorted field of view.
I'd prefer less distortion too, unfortunately for this particular climb I had to mount the camera quite close to my head so I had to make the POV wider otherwise you'd mostly just see my helmet in the footage.
Really cool video, well done! What gloves did you use? I imagine they had to be both warm and suitable for climbing
Thanks! The gloves I wore were "Hestra Ergo Grip Active Wool Terry". Excellent gloves, but honestly I could have taken them off at parts of the climb, it got warm enough the rock would have been easier to grip without them.

Amazing and inspiring achievement. But the video would have been much better with the music left out
F***ING HELL! 😀❤
That’s Luca Salvadori??
That's right, Luca was my guide for this
Après les caisses au supermarché, la queue dans la voie normale.
L'alpinisme pour les boeufs.....
👏👏👏👏💪💪💪🏔️🌞
Wow! Great video! I'd ditch the music though.
