Take in the fresh air, epic views, and alpine lakes - join us on hikes, camping trips and other outdoor adventures. Maybe even learn something! Most of all, kick back and enjoy a little bit of the nature vibes⛰️🤙
Dude! Your video popped up on my algo! Been forever since I’ve met you at Lake Tahoe! Great to see you’re on this path and obviously still doing great things. Cheers to you and yours! 🎉
Each year, around 3,000 to 4,000 climbers summit the Matterhorn, with 8 to 12 fatalities reported annually. This results in an estimated 0.29% fatality rate (roughly 1 in every 350 climbers).
You guys are absolutley awesome, the quality of your videos is utterly amazing, but what draws me back to you each time is you both as people, I'd watch you in 240p 😉
@@codyandvictoria Maybe the comment was a bit harsh. But what I wanted to say was: Why should you risk “everything” to get up the mountain...? In my opinion, that's the wrong attitude and could tempt viewers to get up there by hook or by crook.
Very nice! Just climb it with a guide. I did it this year, one of the deadliest in history (over 10 dead people I believe?). It is just not worth the risk. You basically follow the guides anyway, without them is too hard to find the route, so just find a guide and go there. If you know the route, the route is easy. The only scary section was at the slopes near the summit, where you are basically "in the air", like my guide said and a mistake means that you die. You could always pitch up to the top but you will not make it in time, so with a guide you will have another safety.
A conga line to the summit . There are many routes to the top of the Matterhorn hornil is the worst imho. If you go in the Alpine try something less crowded preferably being the only team on the mountain. Even better a test piece or big classic route. Another note it's all about the style in which you choose to commit and the type of route you take ridges are great fun usually modarate faces are tough with high exposure traverse or link ups are the best of both.
What is the purpose of being roped up? There is no crevasse danger. I would honestly assume that the rope makes it more dangerous because of an increased risk in rockfall and it garuntees that you are going to kill your partner if you fall
Are you guys even sweating? My back would be soaked after the first dayhike 😅 Love the video. Beautiful colors. Love the retro looks in between. I think it’s better to see more videos of you enjoying life than one last video of you summiting. Good decision 🤙
Great video and good decision to turn around and not risk anything! This year I successfully climbed the Matterhorn on July 30th, but I also saw some dangerous things and especially people risking everything. There have been so many deaths this year on the Matterhorn...
Just today in the news: two guys from Vietnam had to be rescued at 3500 in snowy conditions without air lifting capabilities. They were stuck, had inappropriate gear (not even climbing boots) and were pretty close to freezing to death.
Thank you for this very nice video. You did the right thing by turning back instead of pushing on. The Mosley Plates just before and after the Solvay hut are not easy (IMHO) and further up it gets more scatchy. Maybe you'll be back at another time to finish this adventure? I would recommend to hook up with a Swiss mountain guide and first do some preparation climbs in the region before actually trying Matterhorn. They will also help for altitude acclimatization.
Sounds like a successful climb to me. You may not have reached the top but you had an epic day on the mountain and safely returned. Those views are out of this world. I would have shit my pants just looking at the Matterhorn knowing I’m gonna climb it. Gorgeous mountain but intimidating at the same time.
Man I love your guys’ channel, but I do really wish that y’all didn’t endorse LMNT. For two reasons, one being that electrolyte mixes without sugar is basically not backed up by any science (lack of sugar = inability of electrolytes to enter your bloodstream) and is basically a marketing scam ripping people off. And second, the founder is a super whacky right wing covid denying whack job. Just my two cents. Keep on sending and love what you guys represent and do!
I would imagine you’re getting sugar from somewhere else in your diet yeah? As for the guy being a kooky - I’ll have to look into it. I just like the product 🤷🏼♂️
So beautiful! Color was unreal too, gotta get your workflow! I kept thinking how scary that climb looked and then remembered you were also filming the whole thing. Well done, thanks for sharing the adventure! Well told 👌🏻
You know better than anybody that filming the thing is way different than just doing the thing. 😅 Always appreciate you checking out the videos. Happy to have a remote color session whenever you want! 🤘🏼
Responsible and commendable choice. I also bailed my first attempt about 600ft from the summit. It will always be there if you decide to do it again with everything you learned. Such an amazing video and storytelling. You guys rock!!
Because it takes a very long time to finish going up and then an even longer time to go back down. It’s approximately a 12hr day depending on your speed and we were just too slow on the way up with a storm coming in in the evening.
