Balz of steel lads

Good man

Yikes, this summit is no joke, one of the most exposed summits of any major mountain

Amazing. Well done.

Hi. I've scaled all the highest peaks in Austria. This August I want to do the Matterhorn. When the video was taken, what month was it? Lots of snow for sure. I climb solo usually. Do you think that rope is required? A chance a friend may join me. I'm not big on being roped in, but I am good at taking advice. Thanks. BTW: Have ever done the Grossglockner in Austria? If not, I highly recommend it. Cheers, Rpd

I am ligit doing this, this summer

Five hours to get to the summit without a guide is impressive (to me, a non mountaineer). Thanks for an enjoyable video.

This was very soothing to watch..how long have you been climbing? How much experience do I need to go up there ?

Great video. Looks like you crammed a much as you could into your trip. A very good overall look at climbing the Matterhorn.

Why do you have ropes? If one of you fall won't you pull the other down with you?

Wow, you really had great weather on your trip, the views were spectacular! And you were almost alone? You must have had a lot of luck! I hope I'll be as lucky when I go! You really motivated me to do it without a guide, looks doable. Thank you for a great video!

The bit where you turn round and congratulate each other when you get to the summit. I wouldn’t be able to do that. I would be frozen in absolute fear.

Great video that, very informative and well put together. Two things I'd say though is I think a visit to the cemetery is a must before you climb to pay your respects, you might not get the chance after... And climbing down is the most dangerous bit so it's a shame there was no footage or talk of that bit. But that's me nitpicking. Great job!

Amazing video!! Experienced some serious “palm sweats” watching you on that knife edge ridge at the summit!!

Congratulations and great video with narrating in background!

Parts of the summit ridge are so narrow. I would be on my hands & knees for sure.

I just climbed the Matterhorn this last summer, including the Riffelhorn and the Breithorn traverse. This video is very well made with the narrative and thank you for posting.

Excellent report/video! How difficult was the descent?

enjoyed watching this, many thanks

love this but knobbly knees all round astonishing

Really interesting video, Andrew! Well done! And nice climb! Just subscribed to your channel! Looking forward watching more climbs from you.

Great video

Breathtaking wish I could do this but it's way beyond my capabilities brilliant video though

I can make it to the top but won’t be able to walk that ridge line. That too scary and dizzy

Yep definitely doing that thanks loads

Il do that route thanks

Was this a expensive trip? Including the train rides etc

This has dislikes????? Loved it fellas!! :)

Best video of Matterhorn I´ve come across.. Informative and inspirational. True mountaineering. Thanks a lot! It looked like a fun trip :)

Unclipped on the summit ridge..... both looked confident and relaxed.. very good mate... from your barber

Once you get on those ridges, it would be nice to have experience walking tightropes.

i know i'm late, but great vid! makes want to get out and ride.

Many more people could enjoy the mountains if they didn't put them so high up.

Well done lads. I dont get why tying to each other is safer than solo. It looks more dangerous tome.

Hey Andy! Its Dan , this is 'sound'! How long did it take you in normal time?

Hey it's Ted nice video, it's only a bit bigger than place-fell XD

Spectacular video!! But I have to say that I became a bit dizzy watching it.

Hey Andy it's Laila amazing video my favourite part was when you were just getting to the top

Andrew Bennett it's dylan.nice vid I watched it and my fav bit was when you both got to the top.

That was excellent. Thanks for posting it.

Excellent video Andrew - this is great for anyone planning an attempt in future, and gives a real feel for what it is like up there. Well done!

Fun video. I enjoyed coming along on the video with you chaps.

Andrew, awesome video. How much experience did you have prior to the climb? How was the route finding without a guide?

Enjoyed your video. Nice to have some dialogue and narration without thumping tunes in the background....!

Although Mont Blanc is more my style of mountaineering the Matterhorn does look inviting. Excellent video and excellent achievement. I've been hearing for decades about how it is a mere walk up. Admittedly I'm disappointed at the number of anchors and fixed ropes I see in the video, but this is no walk up! I've been away from climbing for some time but that will change next year when I will resume mountaineering virtually full time. I'd love to tackle it (Matterhorn) but I believe that finances would keep me away. On top of airfare, rail fare, taxi fare, hotels, etc. I doubt I could afford to stay long enough to effectively acclimatize, bag both peaks, and experience a reasonable trip home. One quick question: are maps, trail guides, etc., available? I prefer to climb solo and don't wish to hire a guide, particularly after hearing/seeing/reading virtually 100% negative comments concerning others' experiences either with the guides individually or the guide companies. Therefore route finding would be a priority for me. Good maps and quality "trail guides" makes that task much less onerous. That and a college degree in cartography:-)

this is awsome great video amazin view

Wonder if you wore B3 boots for the climb?

Great video and well done, climbing didn't look too technical, it's those ridges that look intimidating. What climbing gear did you need to use, in terms of quick draws, krabs, slings etc? Was it all 'moving together' or is any of it pitching with proper belays? Thanks

GOD what BALLS! Hey could I like barrow them for enough time to climb the matterhorn? I was there in 2007 but just to do some site seeing. We stayed in that little hotel right next to the cemetary. I have freinds that live in Zurich and they paid our way to Zermatt. You guys are awesome!

Hi Andrew. Contrary to my last post, I've committed myself to tackling the Matterhorn in September, hoping to raise money for charity in doing so. I would like to make reference to your video to give potential sponsors a feel for what the challenge involves. Would you have any objection to this?
