Crazy how it goes from looking so normal near the base to absolutely terrifying as the summit gets closer

@nancytestani1470 Жыл бұрын

@UmVtCg Жыл бұрын

Seems totally normal. Looking up to a 20 meter climbing tower seems normal from ground level. Climbing it unsecured is absolutely terrifying for most people.

@derynwarren6011 5 жыл бұрын

My father, Hamilton Warren, had Parkinsons, but he always wanted to climb the Matterhorn. He did it at 58. He was the oldest man on the mountain that day and the slowest. I waited for him at the hut below. I was so proud.

On August 6, 2013 I reached the top of the Matterhorn with a friend in the same way, via the Italian Lion ridge route, which where we also the descent. Everything was normal, I had trained on difficult winter routes in the Dolomites: it seemed impossible that anything could happen. A month later, I slipped just five meters from the summit of a three thousand meter peak in the Dolomites, falling a total of 35 metres. I was in bed, in a wheelchair and on crutches for 6 months. Not only were the bones broken, the sense of invulnerability that animates us all was definitively gone, broken. Ten years later, with the fortune of still being alive and being able to walk (also) in the mountains, watching this compelling film I feel a sense of revulsion. I would never do it again, because skill and experience are certainly fundamental, but the luck component plays an even more important role. Life is too precious, this was the teaching I was given.

The rope is not that long. I fall you come with me! in seconds.

@mskranz 8 жыл бұрын

There are actually two techniques. One is where the mountain guide is holding the client with a very short rope. This is purely for being able to hold him in case he would stumble a bit. If he starts really falling, both would fall. The other technique is with where the guide keeps some buffered rope in his hand. If the client falls, the guide would either jump to the other side of the ridge or would try to find a place where he could hook in the rope. He basically throws the "extra" rope away which gives him a bit of time until the rope would span and start pulling him. Disadvantage is that the impulse and energy will obviously be much higher. It is not possible to tell whether being roped or not is the safer way of climbing. Many clients are simply climbing much better believing that someone is securing them. It is a psychological thing more than anything else. It's one of the many reasons that people pay for mountain guides.

@nokk5190 8 жыл бұрын

Pretty much all helmet cameras are action cameras. When doing something like this, you want as much as possible to end up in the footage. That's why these action cameras use a fisheye lens. The lens is convex, not concave :). And yes, it does distort the image quite a bit in order to fit more image into the shot. So yeah, the camera makes it look steeper aswell as taller. Look near the edges of the video, everything is curved and slightly distorted. Makes you seem more badass for climbing such a mountain when you show this video to your friends.

Ok, I am preparing for that climb and I believe that guide did a pretty miserable job. Traversing on a snowy/icy ridge with crampons but no ice/walking axe? What was the point of being roped together - only to fall together if anybody slips?

It's probably not my place, as I know zilch of how to climb a mountain, but I have seen other videos where the guide has done exactly this - using the crampons? Don't know but it's just my guess

Crampiq You cannot self arrest properly without an axe... Then the rope is just to make the climber feel safe and the guide less safe. Doesn't matter as I know my instructor/guide would never allow this as he values his own life :)

Much better than those high production videos that show people at base camp, then walking in some snow and summiting.. maybe showing a drone clip of actual climbing. This is superior. Thank you Patrick.. and GoPro

Sweaty palms: "..Your nervous system automatically triggers your sweat glands when your body temperature rises. Sweating also normally occurs, especially on your palms, when you're nervous. The most common form of hyperhidrosis is called primary focal (essential) hyperhidrosis.." Amazing footage!

Ali Frazier alot of the climbers will parachute back down, you know their sense of adventure is unmeasurable, these people are brave as hell, and the though of decent is scarier than climbing up if you ask me.

+Jennifer Rodriguez hahaha they aren't parachuting off. they have so much gear and food they had to take up there is no room for parachutes.

+Ryan Jurasek why would anyone carry a ton of food to the summit? you leave it at base camp and only carry a summit pack with enough food for one day and water. The only gear that is required for this climb is a harass, ropes, a screw gate and maybe a belay device. since there are bolts and rappel stations in the critical spots on the matterhorn there is no gear really needed than the standard mountaineering staple.

+Ali Frazier The descent is easier on this mountain than the ascent (not always the case). You can rappel a lot of it if you want.
