Jungfrau // Chasing the Weather in the Bernese Alps

The Jungfrau is one of the commanding summits in the Bernese Alps and towers over the Lauterbrunnen Valley at 13,642 feet. It sits close to the Eiger and access to it's imposing glacier can be had by taking a train that tunnels through the belly of the Eiger to the Jungfraujoch. The whole experience, from the train ride to the summit climb is mind blowing.

I love this comment lol

[@BallardBaller]

Your making some of the best videos on you tube right now!! Love seeing new ones in the feed

[@AndreRouzo]

It’s insanely perfect

[@arjunski]

2:04, why am I getting nostalgia hearing that drum beat...

[@bboss8048]

That sound clip/beat is MA.

[@eaglesfannnn]

Right! I'm not sure the last video that it was in but it sure feels like a while

[@flukeofficial]

Love hearing that drum beat

[@GearZenChannel]

Inspirational stuff. When you see these guys breathing hard I know I would be totally crushed.

[@JustinMNYC]

Great coverage! And a couple of old school Mediocre soundtrack choices in there 👍

[@Matsqo]

Ohhh man this video was amazing !!, Can’t wait for the next one, ( I’m positive I heard Danny say Mount Blanc and Matterhorn are on their list !!!!

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

Bump for the algorithm. Thumbs up for the best channel on KZbin!💪

[@CampfireTalk]

Danny's "glass half empty" outlook at the beginning of every trip resonates deep with my old man spirit.

[@jeffreyallen1290]

I love MA videos. Good to hear some of the old music creep in. Thanks ja

[@pierre-francoispesenti1694]

Thanks for showing off my home country! And your pronunciation was good!

[@Nuttyirishman85]

It’s crazy that you guys tackle things without a local guide, takes huge balls!

[@foxyMamaIdaho]

I always feel so much better knowing that The Big C is with you all to make you three handsome adventurers stop and eat well along the way.. And that Dan the Man, of course, will continue to provide caution and wit in the midst of any danger and Matt to provide his brilliant intellect and vast knowledge on the terrain. And I was not paid nor compensated for making this comment.

[@Charles-xe2qh]

Wow, you made that look easy! The glaciers that flow down the valley below the Jungfrau are indeed enormous. 2 years ago I joined the groups that hike down the glacier, staying 1 night at the Konkordia hutte on the way. We hiked quickly for maybe 8 hours on the glacier and still managed to only cross maybe 2/3 of it. When you are out on it, it just seems to go on and on. Below the Konkordia hut it is supposed to be 900 metres thick (about 3,000 feet) as I recall.

[@teleroel]

When I was at Konkordia they had just build the new metal staircase, but had already had to put in a normal ladder to get to the staircase. The ice was melting that fast. This was in 1999, just after the horrible Galtur avalanche. We were the first group being able to go up again.

Thanks for putting in perspective how incredible this place is. I grew up here as a kid, now taking its beauty for granted. Watching this through your eyes was kind of humbling putting things back into perspective. Great edit, keep aan butchering the words! Only after you mentioned no cars did I figure out you said Wengen hahaha!

Another fantastic video, and such great timing! I’m heading to Lauterbrunnen and Chamonix in a few weeks and the Jungfrau is on my list of climbs while I am there. Congratulations on your climb and thanks for the great beta.

[@alekshandhold]

Nice work y’all!

[@AleksandarGospic]

Awesome, so glad the weather held up till you summited, fantastic scenery and views! Now let's hope next videos will show you made it to the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc or at least one of them, but even if you didn't I think Jungfrau made it worth it coming to the Alps this time :)

[@bboss8048]

Thats two videos now without a mention of a bear. New record!!!

[@RyanRidesPGH]

Ropes, ice axes, AND helmets? I don’t even know what channel this is anymore…

[@dylanhunt8742]

Out of this world boiz good job

[@user-nw2si7hu3u]

It’s intersting to see the descent as well as ascent most climbing vids always leave this out (including yours) it’s cool to see how you get down.

[@jonhirst7139]

Can’t wait to watch you do Matterhorn

[@paulmelde919]

Danny’s pronunciation of the Swiss names really improved for this video… great work!!

[@sammcdaniel1564]

so rad!

[@daveg8212]

Video would have been better with some sausage or raclette or rosti! Best part of Guggibutte was making last call at the hut on the way back down. That sausage looked INSANE! Christophe and Matt need to be doing the route planning -- at least they make time for the food!

[@spencerkimball5067]

You guys make me want to quit my job and move to the mountains full time

[@mountainninja3065]

Nice! Happy Thursday amateur fans. Inspiration time

[@eaglesfannnn]

Had the same experience with the rain when I was in the Swiss Alps. Every single night I'd look at the forecast and see 100% chance of rain, make plans accordingly, wake up and...0% chance of rain, completely sunny...

[@BroDuke1]

I like the climbing parts of these videos, but I also like to see the travel segments where you guys experience and react to local places, customs, food and culture.

[@the_purple_mage]

Switzerland: my favorite place in the world!

[@bensutton522]

on a cloudy day i want to see christophe and a large cheese fondue go head to head. come back in the winter. you can ski from the top of the jungfrau

Mind blown. Nothing in the US compares to this. Fantastic.

Like!, now let’s see it.

[@wgamertvwgtv9068]

Yay!

[@beeclimbing9954]

@Danny depending on the weather systems, you could go back to stay in Dix Hut over in Arolla and climb Mt. Blanc de Cheilan and La Luette ;-)

[@bgwhalley]

A true brotherhood tying rope to all three in case one goes they all go.

Blimey that train is quiet! Normally at this time of year it would be completely full.

The best time to visit the Alps is in winter. Blue skies.

[@pierocus3261]

Just started following your channel and Im catching up on all the videos. You guys are fuckin beasts ❤

[@DNFADV]

Ha! The intro sounded like a Billy Yang setup . The music pushed it over the cliff!

[@cXilion]

amazing videos! really entertaining and great selection of summits. as a german/austrian guide the only thing i can criticise is the mix between roped up / and not being roped up. on a glacier covered in snow you should always be (that is not a debate) , and on that climbing sections you kinda shouldnt to avoid a complete tumble of the entire group. nevertheless, good effort!

[@christianthompson7155]

Did I hear Matterhorn?!?! Now that’s a tease!

[@jeffharper4509]

you guys should go to Nepal

[@jaredzak1814]

Og mediocre music. Diggin it 🤙🏼

[@mattdryden2616]

I always love these videos, and as an actual amateur I have learned a ton from this channel. But I have to question something in this one. On the rappel, the rope was run directly through the loop tied in the end of the fixed line. I know they say not to do that for safety, which isn't even my concern here; both ropes can easily handle the small amount of friction they may experience during the rappel. But when pulling your rap rope through, it's going to wear heavily on the fixed line. Wouldn't it have been better to leave a locking carabiner on the fixed line to avoid wear for anyone else who needs to follow?

[@gregpypiuk1282]

Always cool and inspiring! By the way the words aren’t foreign because you’re in Switzerland!🤣 And you do butcher them!

[@ianholl9100]

Matterhorn? I sure hope the weather cooperated.

[@kage239]

I think the voiceover at the beginning was a good choice. Allowed the video to get going earlier. I also enjoyed the updated version of one of the old go-to soundtracks.

[@curtmoore9216]

She-it! Now I am compelled to drop everything for the next 11:04 minutes. Guess I can call and tell them I will be late for that appointment.

[@Ecoroof1986]

Brilliant video guy's. I did pretty much the exact same route a couple of years ago. Did you get chance to climb the Monch?

[@ryanmccandlass2995]

This is king shit right here love to see it boys

[@jonathandefoy6376]

wait the matterhorn? You guys finally doing real mountaineer expeditions? also by the way Switzerland is one of my favorite places in the entire world. I am Belgian American so I have been several times. the Matterhorn is known as the Servin in French. I most likely butchered the spelling.

[@polonofob]

nice! I did it on skis in April. We had better views, but temperature was bellow -15C

[@herkusr01]

Surprised nobody was skiing that! Too much crevasse danger I presume?

[@tsizzle]

Nice job! Did you head back down to Klein Scheidegg or Gindewald for a nice Rosti and Radler!? Next time, climb Eiger?

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

Nothing like 1k thumbs up and ZERO thumbs down. That is the mediocre way.

[@tangsirics]

Keep it up! Danny, also what track is the 2:49 mark? been wanting to find it for the past 2 years watching you guys!

[@jameskelly9852]

How do you find the white mountain hardware bag? Been looking at that for ski mountaineering and general winter based activities, ice climbing etc. To replace a far to large 40litre bag.

[@spicee1000]

First Comment! Danny with a very professional voice over to start the video. Another great day in the mountains...and they brought ropes this time. Looking forward to their attempts of Mt. Blanc and Matterhorn. ...now on to important business: Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: 12!

[@spicee1000]

@@robopecha You made me laugh. I was paying homage to everyone else that have made similar post when a new video comes out.

[@Bulldawg1975]

Outstanding! I spent time in the Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger area around 20 years ago. My favorite place on Earth along with Yosemite. Stayed in the tiny village of Gimmewald, just down the mountain from Murren, the birthplace of downhill skiing. Just an incredible, amazing place. I guess none of you were up for tackling the North face of the Eiger? So stoked to see the MA in this area! Love the video- I’d give it 1k likes if I could. Cheers!

[@kevinw1129]

I think you need to dispense with the words 'mediocre' and 'amateur' - that looked pretty hardcore. Keen to see if you do the Matterhorn - that's another level of hardcore. Good luck.

[@eddiej7259]

I follow matt on Instagram, seems they didn't get to do it on this trip due to weather it seems

[@MrHardPressed]

what did you use as an anchor to do the short rappel over the crevase?

[@JohnICGomes]

How do you go down that? I usually have no issue up, but going down in always a scary and painful (knees) experience. How do you go down?

[@michaelstgo5399]

You guys are climbing Matterhorn???

[@dangus5459]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@eddiej7259]

That was their plan for this trip, but I'm afraid they didn't get to do that this time around due to weather. Saw it on matts Instagram story

[@teleroel]

Maybe I'm already an oldtimer, but with just three guys on a rope, would it make sense to make knots in the rope between you, just for extra friction in case someone would fall into a crevasse? Or has this been abandoned already?

[@malcolmisbell9405]

Are Danny and Matt using the Dynafit Expedition 30 pack?

[@Charles-xe2qh]

This video reminds me of tandem paragliding around the Jungfraujoch a few years ago with Beni Kaelin (short video below) who runs his own paragliding and speedflying school and does tandem flights.
