Three years ago we hiked to the top of what might be the coolest mountain in the Sierra Nevada - Matterhorn Peak. Now we’re going back to Hoover Wilderness to summit it again but this time, we’re climbing it the hard way - with ropes! With our bags packed full of camping and rock climbing gear, we set out for our first alpine climbing endeavor! It was challenging, scary at times, and a true test of our limits but mostly... it was an adventure that we will never forget. Enjoy :)

Mad respect! Every time I see these amazing climbing shots I ask myself 'are they not even a little bit afraid of those heights?' It's a joy to comfortably admire these scenes from my safe couch.

Ah, the famous and dreaded couch, second home of climbers! (I have been but a Belay Slave, captured and caravanned far from home to be sold at auctions, though absent bellydance skills. Buyers must have been bedazzled by granite, methinks)

I've hiked to the top of this peak twice and it's just so beautiful. One of my absolute favorites. My great uncle and aunt were 2 of the first four people to climb the Double Dihedral route on Matterhorn back in 1965. They were super cool. Thanks for sharing!

If you slip, learn to twist around& set your ice axe. You have to PRACTICE this, many times, BEFORE you put yourself into that sitch. Another thing. Me & the Wolf were in the Evolution range one August, wise enough NOT to posthole through snow in PM, instead camping . early morning you can chip your steps in snow that will sink you to your hips in PM. We have noted people rushing down, and in AM found their suffering postholes, easily glissading or supported where they had led the Gulag life. (Though i traversed someglacier elsewhere above six foot or more drops into cold tarns which give NO chance to get out - think floating corpsicle - i DO recommend suitable spikes & learning all the cute lil ice axy things.)

@victorkonstantin 10 ай бұрын

@@codyandvictoriaHi Cody. I also think that it would have been a proper way to navigate that snow patch with an ice axe and at least a pair of 10 point crampons. There is no way to arrest a slip and fall with trekking poles. But I also belive that it is up to each person to choose how safe or less safe they want to make their outdoors adventures. Aside of that, the video footage and the approach to the base of the climb and the climb itself were a blast to watch. You are an amazing talented couple. A joy to watch. 😊👍

@@codyandvictoria downside to those methods is the rope tends to get stuck more when pulling them. Simul repelling works if the two people are tethered together, or the ends will not be the same length. Lots of problems, just have to work through them. As with anything in life.
