Also imagine this climb whithout all the artificial help instaled... ropes,chains stairs... specially the last wall to the summit... then you know how good Mr. Carrel Really was and how much of an hero this climb made him

[@Kestrel_1]

Jean-Antoine Carrel was a giant, a Titan. Imagine the quality of his gear and its weight. He had to force the route and get his less-skilled companions up and down safely with ropes and techniques that we would regard as suicidal. He climbed again with Whymper, after the Cervino-Matterhorn ascents, and went to the Andes with him. In 1891, aged 62, Carrel guided a party off the mountain in bad weather, led them onto safe ground, sat down and died. His memorial cross marks the spot. The family names, Carrel, Bich, Gorret and Meynet, dominate the Valtournenche - on shops, restaurants, hotels and war memorials. The father or uncle of J-B Bich was Mayor of Aosta and a Baron; his descendant, Marcel Bich, was a founder of the Bic company.

@@Kestrel_1 , the true hero of the cervino, was Carrel, not Wymper

[@michel.b5752]

@Ed MartinezDJ there are a lot of climbers who went to the summit of Cervino, without all the gear.

[@edmartinezdj9034]

Forget it, all the last part of the climb, while not physical or really difficult its amazingly exposed and terrifying. With strong winds and or rain it would be hell on earth. Big thumbs up to Jean Antoine Carrel that opened this route 150 years ago... balls of steel. And big thumbs up to you guys tha also did it, and even filmed it for us to fantasize about. PD: Hornli Route its a breeze compared to this. The only danger there is that its confusing to find the good way, probably because Guides don't mark it properly to keep their business going.This one on the other hand feels more obvious but... demands skills both tecnical and phisycal

[@cockneybuddhist4713]

I know your comment was 5 years ago but thanks! Yep there's absolutely no way I could endure that type of exposure and I admire the people that can. I will have to do with (hopefully hiking to Hornli hutte, if that is possible for a 68 year old :-)

L'arête du Lion m'a paru plus facile quand j'ai vu Kilian Jornet monter à toute vitesse par les cordes et les cables. Quant à la descente il m'a foutu le vertige, la moindre glissade et c'était foutu pour lui. Belle arête et joli nom.

[@mauricior8550]

This route was converted into a Via Ferrata?

[@jeanarchibald3842]

Il ne faut pas avoir le vertige!

[@mikeborelli8800]

so let's say the front guy at 9:08 (and on any very narrow precipice on any of the videos on KZbin, especially with exposed rock) falls to his left, down the ridge and not in control enough to self-arrest; he's already let go of the same bit of rope he's carrying (maybe 15 meters worth), and now the second person must at once jump/fall to his own right and hope to arrest the fall with his counter-weight and maybe using his axe too. Is this actually a potential scenario in simu-climbing? Because if the answer is yes, I'd rather take longer and move one man at a time, or just unrope and don't fall.

[@edmartinezdj9034]

Its a matter of trust on your companions skills. But yes at times is better one man at a time, but this guys normally seem quite composed to me. I only saw them really flinch on the nordwand videos where you can see that they are actually climbing for all they are worth to keep his lives

L'année dernière j'ai escaladé la Dent d'Hérens par l'arête Tiefenmatten. J'aurais une question: combien différent est-il de monter le Cervin? Est-il plus difficile, exposé, ou de moins? J'aurais l'intention d'y aller cette année (je suis déjà arrivé jusqu'au bivouac Carrel une foie...)

bonjour, je n'ai jamais fait la Dent d Hérens du coup je ne sais pas

So much trash on the poor mountain just for ego-satisfaction ?!? Ridiculously amazing

[@TommyMacMXClimber]

This climb is a conundrum. On one hand, it's still an accomplishment, because it is long, tiring, and has objective dangers. On the other hand, most experienced climbers and EVERY great climber (Messner, Twight, Lowe, Terray, etc.) would consider it an ABOMINATION due to the fixed ropes, ladders, and chains (Really??? Chains??? Who does that???). As has been commented below, this route is now a via ferrata. Sad. Anything can be climbed by hauling on fat ropes and chains. And as Messner famously said, it's the "murder of the impossible." You may as well take a helicopter up, take selfies, fly back down and go for a long run, and then brag about the really hard day. I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to the Nordwand of the Eiger. And on a safety note - why in god's name is the roped client not carrying an ice axe??? One slip for him on many places of the climb and he and his guide would both die. There is no good reason that he should have climbed without an ice axe.

[@haupesuisse]

Big tongue to tell us what is string or not. Every one can beat their own targets without people criticizing like you did

[@michel.b5752]

Faire du rocher avec des crampons, sur une voie équipée, une "via ferrata", c'est un peu con. Le mot escalade est peut-être même un peu usurpé.

@@michel.b5752 il ne s'agit pas que vous soyez d'accord ou pas Michel.
