I watched this whole video thinking I was watching someone with millions of subscribers! The editing, narration, everything was super well put together. Thanks for making this I really enjoyed watching it. Its my dream to be up on that summit one day and hopefully many more. Thankyou!
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.
wow dude, same here (22 yo), was hiking from Kuznice to "Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich" (up to 2100m I believe) at the end of October. I found myself watching all the videos about hiking and climbing after that trip. Definitely want to go back somewhere in May 2025.
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
Not in a million lifetimes could i attempt such a dangerous pursuit. A whole lot of those rocks looked like they could peel away at any given moment. Fantastic, immersive footage.
Broooooooo! what a fun watch! Congrats on the summit and even bigger congrats on the video. Sound design, story telling, everything about it was top tier! Can't wait to watch the next one
Love the Matterhorn. I was lucky to work a season in Zermatt. I used to sit on my balcony every morning watching the sun light up the face. Good memories!
@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.
@@kvpc11 hey, since you have a first hand experience, I'd appreciante you answering this for me - is the climb as scary and difficult as it looks through a fisheye lens? 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).
I solo climbed the Matterhorn in August this year, I started doing alpine climbs in January, I am pretty proud of the achievement only 7 months after starting alpinism. The greatest thing I have ever done, still feels like a dream. Writing these words help :)
I would also only do it solo. Most people call me crazy for my solo climbs - but this is when I feel the most free- and safer than attached to another person with a rope, who I have to blindly trust.
@@Lotterboy I agree, it may not be the standard way of doing things but in my view and after I've already climbed it, I wold say being roped in the Matterhorn is completely useless 90% of the time, specially in the lower sections until you reach the shoulder above Solvay
@@Aerodave11 would you give some advice on the set up for soloing it? Im new to climbing and mountaineering so is kinda hard for me to understand the technics used in solo climb
@@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
@@Lotterboy Yes I hear ya, feel only safe when not attached to someone else. I climbed many mountains by myself and the Mont Blanc 3 times.. but solo. So very relatable!
Great video dude! One suggestion: in my opinion you don’t need the epic music all the time. I think it‘s far more immersive when you just hear the ambient sounds of the mountains while climbing!
I love mountains but have a serious fear of heights. Palms were very sweaty watching this, what an incredible journey. I very rarely comment on videos but with was a masterpiece. I was about to make a coffee and started the video and next thing you know its done. Amazing work.
Wow, anyone who climbs the Matterhorn must have nerves of steel. What a huge achievement, your fitness level must be off the scale to keep pushing upward. For me such a climb would be an absolute nightmare, especially since I am 70 this month, but I enjoyed the climb very much from my armchair! Very well done, I bet you had a good appetite when you got back to base! Again, just a big WOW!
As an avid moutain adventurer myself, this is best video about moutain climbing I have ever watched. The music and narrative voice, tone, and climbing footage are supreme. This is period the best, way better than any other professional mountain documentary. Keep it up with good work. Stay safe!
The sight is unreal, but also the pace at which you two were going. Incredible, man. I know editing either takes from or adds to what it was really, but for sure you were fast. Good job!
Safe to say that I won't be doing that climb in this lifetime - but thanks for filming it so I could experience what it's like from the safety of my living room.. Having said that: there WAS a moment during the climb where I almost fell off my chair.
Congrats! Fabulous video! Thanks for taking us with you, man! As much as I like hiking in the Alps, you won't find me climbing the Matterhorn! You guys put a lot of trust in all those cracked rocks...
My first and last real climb was the matterhorn in 2015. Even though I had a guide, still kinda dumb doing this without any experience :D Watching this took me back and made me relive those moments, thanks!
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.
Thank you so much for this amazing video ! I climbed Matterhorn on August 2024, the 13 ! It was so difficult, I couldn't remember all the adventure...I have pictures of course but happy to watch this video ! Congrats ! Matterhorn is a legend, and for me a dream came true !
Gorgeous. Every aspect of the video. Here I'm sitting 6 ft. above sea level, and I'm holding onto my chair while checking if the floor is still there. Kudos!
Nice video - well done! It reminded me of my own submitting of the Matterhorn a few years ago when I was 48. In my case, my guide decided we were going to summit first (which we did) out of some 80+ summiteers that day, and so we kept passing people and didn't even stop at the Solvay Hut. Three and a half hours up and three and a half down. Crazy pace, imo, not much different from your own.
Holy shit, you really delivered first person views there. I saw some other footage of climbing the matterhorn and all of them were amazing but your video really showed why this mountain is so difficult to climb. Congrats dude!!
I did this last August and this video made me remember that awesome but nerve-racking experience! Thank you for making exactly what I would have loved to create myself. It's wonderful to be able to revive that. I don't know if it happened to you, but as time goes by, it feels that my brain is trying to forget details, probably due to survival instincts. What a journey! Keep climbing!
Yep. From far away you could never guess the true nature of the moutain; i.e. just an accumulation of small rocks on top one on another. Not like these big granite walls you can find somewhere else in the alps (Grande Jorasse)
I am Matterhorn lover❤now because of you people for first time seen every Cell of this giant beauty. Amazing job and filming. Thanks for sharing . God bless🙏🏼❤️🇦🇺
The wide angle camera really gives you a feeling that you are up high with a long fall if you make a mistake. Not sure I will ever climb the Matterhorn but it was a great thrill to watch this video! Thank you!
I lived in Switzerland a bit in my early 20s and visited many times thereafter. Took me 20 years just to SEE the Matterhorn as I always got bad weather. Nearly cried when I finally saw it aged 45. This video was beautiful and brought back some nice memories. It also gave me anxiety watching you wander across that knife edge at the summit! Great production and presentation of that amazing mountain. Congrats.
Hello everyone I congratulate you on the wonderful mountain tours. Thank you for the wonderful film. It brings back unforgettable memories. I wish you wonderful mountain tours. With alpine greetings Raphael Wellig
This is f'in insane, i literally felt sick watching you summit at the shear danger of that climb. What an achievement, my god. Subbing because your achievement deserves it at the least.
Brilliant video - mind you, Edward Whymper, what, 1865 ?? No fixed ropes. No lightweight modern equipment, no idea what was up there...Did they have crampons? Uli Steck of his day, what a man.
Sunday Nov 3, 2024 16:20 UTC. AGUASCALIENTES, mexico. What an exceptional video. Sweating hands and strong heartbeats. Goosebumps. I dreamed with mountains, waked up abd search for mountains videos, this was the first to show up. That is was i was dreaming about. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this with us. I hope someday I reach that summit. I will let you know if it happens, the future will speak.
This my friend is superb. I've ventured up a few scottish munros but i would never ever have the bottle to try something like this. You have given us a true first hand experience and it is phenomenol. Love this. Congrats❤❤❤❤
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.
I've seen pictures and videos of the matterhorn, but this is the first video that actually captures how majestic I would imagine if look in real life. The grandness makes it seem like it is in a video game. Hopefully I can make it out there one day. Thank you for sharing
This Matterhorn climb is absolutely incredible! The mix of breathtaking views and intense moments along the Hörnli route really captures the thrill and challenge of climbing such an iconic peak. Amazing work documenting each step - felt like I was right there on the mountain with you. Thanks for sharing this unforgettable experience! 👏
Man so cool seeing this, last year my family and I went and stayed in that beautiful city, mountain biking out there was easily the coolest place I’ve ever gone on two wheels, thanks for posting to make me feel like I was back again.
Congratulations on your summit! I might have attempted that when I was in my 20's but not a chance now. The decent must have been a real challenge. Thanks for the video.
Incredible video and incredible accomplishment! I proposed at the base of the Matterhorn and we saw climbers that July day. Your video allowed a first hand ride up there! Thanks for posting!
I feel like sometimes it’s hard to judge size through video but this mountain looks unbelievably massive even through the video, bet it’s mind blowing seeing it in person
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!
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. As a young Colorado kid the Disney film about the first ascent of the Matterhorn sparked my interest in climbing when I was 8 or 9 years old. I never got around to doing it unfortunately but it’s fun to live it by proxy.
I think this mostly due to the fact of the Matterhorn being so popular that fixed ropes and ladders are needed to allow more people to summit. Hope you get to climb it one day!
@@the_average_hobo It's most likely much of the same; down-climbing, short rope & fixed rope, and probably some rappelling. It'd likely take as long to descend as it would to ascend.
Old classmate of mine (we went together to primary school, but lost contact afterwards) was really into hiking. His dad giftet him a hike, they wanted to climb the matterhorn (it was agift for passing his Abitur (german a levels). Both were really experienced (especially him for his young age). Unfortunately his journey ended up on that mountain this summer. Both of them died. Stay safe.
Watching this was totally out of my comfort zone as I am afraid of heights.. but like other videos that include heights.. I watched it to the end... Way to go Dude!!
I watched this whole video thinking I was watching someone with millions of subscribers! The editing, narration, everything was super well put together. Thanks for making this I really enjoyed watching it. Its my dream to be up on that summit one day and hopefully many more. Thankyou!

That's great, keep exercising and you'll be in good enough shape to do tougher hikes in no time!
You'll get there bro, keep your chin up, and don't give up!

A mountain is not a monster
My hands are still sweating. Climbers are a different type of cat. Thanks for sharing what millions will never experience. Great video.
I'm not a climber, but I was glued to this from start to finish. It's one of the best videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. Thanks so much for this!
Love the Matterhorn. I was lucky to work a season in Zermatt. I used to sit on my balcony every morning watching the sun light up the face. Good memories!
I solo climbed the Matterhorn this August as well, it was such an incredible experience. Thank you for sharing, this is a fantastic video!
Any advices for soloing it?
@Samuel-to9mu My setup was just my harness, a few Caribeaners, belay device and two personal anchors for switching between fixed sections.

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.

Tobias was my guide too. Great guide. Well done 💪🏼
subbed!! awesome content man. 11:43 that rock looks reeaaallly sketchy!! i really cannot imagine how the Whymper expedition made the climb.
Very good video. Nice watch with my morning coffee before going for my run. Motivation is always appreciated. Thanks again.
Great practice for Striding Edge on Helvellyn :) Seriously, that last ridge walk...OMG!
Really cool video, thank you! The format is very comfortable to watch and storytelling is nice.

Yep. From far away you could never guess the true nature of the moutain; i.e. just an accumulation of small rocks on top one on another. Not like these big granite walls you can find somewhere else in the alps (Grande Jorasse)
I’m speechless! I wish we could see some of the descent too!
And remember-- the descent is MUCH more difficult and MUCH more scary.
That was the first thing I was thinking about as well. I would all the time think like how do I climb down from this

This my friend is superb. I've ventured up a few scottish munros but i would never ever have the bottle to try something like this. You have given us a true first hand experience and it is phenomenol. Love this. Congrats❤❤❤❤
Absolutely bonkers but… what an achievement and such a beautiful video.
Well done, lovely video of a great adventure. Thanks for sharing.
As if I was there climbing with you, although I never climbed before ...love this video ,Thanks and greetings
Congratulations🎉🎉 from your family in Virginia that was incredible I'm so glad Eddie posted this on Facebook so I found your channel
Gr8 watch Joe, gives a great appreciation of the technicality of the route...and a little unnerving even from the sofa. Kudos!
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.
Excellent content mate! You're living the dream.
I've seen pictures and videos of the matterhorn, but this is the first video that actually captures how majestic I would imagine if look in real life. The grandness makes it seem like it is in a video game. Hopefully I can make it out there one day. Thank you for sharing
Wow! AWSOME footage. Just an average hiker from Australia here. I had goosebumps watching 😀⛰️💗
This Matterhorn climb is absolutely incredible! The mix of breathtaking views and intense moments along the Hörnli route really captures the thrill and challenge of climbing such an iconic peak. Amazing work documenting each step - felt like I was right there on the mountain with you. Thanks for sharing this unforgettable experience! 👏
Thanks for taking us on the journey. Very fascinating
Thank you for posting this incredible video. I now live safe in the knowledge that I never have to climb that!
beautifully shot with respectful commentary. thanks for sharing
Wow, very intense ! Makes my climb of Snowdon the other week look like a walk in the park. Well done mate. 🇬🇧
Musiс is so dramatic and Austrian guide is so calm!)
Thanks, I too was there in August. Hiking is so cool in the Alps. Thanks for the mountaineering views.
Man so cool seeing this, last year my family and I went and stayed in that beautiful city, mountain biking out there was easily the coolest place I’ve ever gone on two wheels, thanks for posting to make me feel like I was back again.
Absolutely Phenomenal, and breathtaking movie!
I couldn’t bare to watch all of this, I am a wimp! Congratulations and be safe
Congratulations on your summit! I might have attempted that when I was in my 20's but not a chance now. The decent must have been a real challenge. Thanks for the video.
11:21 I don't understand why they are roped together? If one falls they all fall? 😢
Right?
Incredible video and incredible accomplishment! I proposed at the base of the Matterhorn and we saw climbers that July day. Your video allowed a first hand ride up there! Thanks for posting!
Amazing achievement and balls of steel. Well done.
I feel like sometimes it’s hard to judge size through video but this mountain looks unbelievably massive even through the video, bet it’s mind blowing seeing it in person
What a thrilling view. I hold my breath during your last strip of Alp's climbing. Love from India❣
An excellent video. Congratulations on your achievement and more importantly the hard work that went in to it.
I enjoyed every moment of this video. Thank you 🤩
This is amazing 🔥 I applaud you for the the amount of work it must take to crank out this level of content
Amazing video Joey. Going back to watch the older ones now.
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!
I was scared to Watch sometimes😅must respect and thanks for making this film 👊🏼🙏
My favourite mountain all my life. I've never seen it in real life.Thank you❤ [Glad you got to see it all the way down.]
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. As a young Colorado kid the Disney film about the first ascent of the Matterhorn sparked my interest in climbing when I was 8 or 9 years old. I never got around to doing it unfortunately but it’s fun to live it by proxy.
I think this mostly due to the fact of the Matterhorn being so popular that fixed ropes and ladders are needed to allow more people to summit. Hope you get to climb it one day!
How was getting down? Would have made for a good part 2
How do they get down lol
@@the_average_hobo It's most likely much of the same; down-climbing, short rope & fixed rope, and probably some rappelling. It'd likely take as long to descend as it would to ascend.
Absolutely Amazing. I totally enjoyed this. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Thanks for sharing your experience.
The coolest mountaineering video i have ever seen 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🥹🥹love from india 🇮🇳!!
Amazing video of your adventure. The final knife edge to the summit was terrifying. 😮
Old classmate of mine (we went together to primary school, but lost contact afterwards) was really into hiking. His dad giftet him a hike, they wanted to climb the matterhorn (it was agift for passing his Abitur (german a levels). Both were really experienced (especially him for his young age). Unfortunately his journey ended up on that mountain this summer. Both of them died. Stay safe.
I loved your use of google earth! Great video and awesome hike!
Good job. At first it seemed like it was going to be a solo summit. Naked pic sounds weird. Glad the others there didn't see that strange ritual.
Big up Joey, seriously. The effort is wonderfuly retranscripted.
Watching this was totally out of my comfort zone as I am afraid of heights.. but like other videos that include heights.. I watched it to the end... Way to go Dude!!
Really enjoyed watching; nice choice of footage; liked the editing as well. Congrats on your safe climb.
Wow, that was both amazing and terrifying all at the same time. Holy crap😮😮😮😮
Adrenaline rush watching your video! Congrats!
Insane, my heart was in my heart just watching this. Absolutely awesome 🤩
