Thanks for posting this, you have revived wonderful memories. I climbed it in 1982 but my buddy backed out on the first pitch so I ended up soloing the route. I am now 69 years of age and recovering from surgery for cancer but most of my best days on earth have been spent in the mountains. Thank you and well done!

[@regulatorQ]

Good climb! Beautiful

[@SpiritintheSky.]

Thank goodness for the helmet-camera so that we who would never dare such a feat can appreciate those marvellous folk who can!

I was really hornli when I woke up this morning.

Climbed te route in the summer of 1985. Soloed the route trailing a rope for my partner who was new to rock climbing and this was his first climb with crampons and a ice axe. There were no fixed ropes (sort of cheating in my opinion) as seen in this video back then and a lot more snow and ice on mountain.

[@davidkatz1829]

The go pro wide angle lens definitely makes the route look much steeper and distorts the true angles of the climbing.

Excellent climb and filming. Congratulations.

Beautiful mate.

[@mottopanukeiku7406]

Ee-Gad! The exposure on that climb is just dizzying. Great footage.

[@jacksongriffith245]

This brings back wonderful memories, thankyou!

I didn't realize that you two were walking on the ridge of the peak while you were tied with a rope and the rope was not connected to any support on the rocks. If one person slips and falls, it can end in disaster, and the second person will also fall down due to the shock caused by the climbing rope. So what was the use of the rope between you?

[@Smallfrye]

The idea is if one person starts to fall, he yells out the side he's falling on and then the partner jumps to the opposite side as a counter-weight. It's not a perfect or truly safe system, but up on the ridge there is no protection to clip onto and no significant rock features to throw the rope around in a short rope style alpine belay.

[@EndUser-yu7gg]

I cringe when I see these ridge walks ... i am not one to say I am afraid of heights but that makes my skin crawl

[@TheMegaMrMe]

That guy at the end was paragliding. It's a means of flying with hit air rising along side the peaks lifting you up. It was not parachuting.

[@suthonlimchawalit9257]

What a thin peak!

[@andrewbradbury8527]

Best i.ve seen! Well done....gives me vertigo watching it!😅

[@jessewaite509]

Well done!

[@Calibri57]

Crampons on rock! Much respect!!

[@evyschouten2564]

Does anyone know where to get a good topo/description of the Hornli route? I've been searching online but unable to find any. Thanks!

[@volusize]

My legs tingle watching this 😱😱

[@MrRooibos123]

I was hiking around Zermatt at the same time - not talented enough to tackle the Matterhorn mind. Stuck to the Kleine Matterhorn and Breithorn 😂

[@wyosagekat.]

Was afraid to fall off my bed watching that! 😅

[@archaangelss]

awesome climb, i was just watching a video of a few people who died on this mountain a few hundred years ago

[@mattarellopazzosgravato9041]

its the 2 dedliest mountain in history

[@ChrisAndCats]

@@mattarellopazzosgravato9041 I'd have thought that was K2 and Annapurna?

[@allfunnydogsstories2129]

Did someone put spray paint all over the mountain?

[@Chiller01]

The Alps are so civilized. I did most of my climbing in Western Canada where just getting to the base of the route often means days in the wilderness. I’m not sure about those big fat fixed ropes. It would be ok to bolt a hairy section but those fat ropes wouldn’t be ok, that chain ladder definitely not. I joke with my European friends that you never die in the Alps out of sight of a 5 star restaurant. Beautiful place though, just like the summit of almost any mountain.

[@alexbaum389]

Go climb it buddy.

[@alexbaum389]

Also subscribed to you @chiller to see you climb it! Can't wait buddy! It'll be so much easier than your bear infested wilderness you are used to! EZ PZ!

[@danmart9087]

[@justinwalker4475]

[@siriosstar4789]
