Matterhorn Summit Ridge
You knew it was steep right? It's epic, amazing, scary, awesome, and iconic all at the very same time. To step onto the summit of this mountain is always hard earned, and not a challenge to underestimate for a second. This amazing footage was taken by Icicle guest Faisal, guided by Ervin (the link to their full ascent is ruclips.net/video/OvV4P7kFy_o/видео.html) via the Hornli Arete.

Snowy morning at the Icicle shop in Windermere
Not to sound like a snob, but I thought everyone who uses an ice axe knew this already.
@@patrickcarleton1073 If only! The number of people who thread the axe up through the lower loop is high. Our favourite practically is between the pack and back, so it’s easily accessible when climbing.
What backpack is that?
@@AJ-gk7bn It’s a Quechua (Decathlon mountain brand) Bionnassay 22 litre day pack. They’re simple yet tough
Hey there no worries if you don't see this but I have a question! I have done some courses in alpinism and went in the summer to climb a grade three summit in spain. I live in scotland really enjoyed my first winter hillwalking in my B0 boots. I want to do the Cuilin ridge and work towards more winter mountaineering while also start ticking off summits in the alps. I am really stuck between the scarpa manta tech gtx (b2) and the scarpa Mont Blanc pro (b3). I tried both on and they fit well, the b3 maybe even a little better. I think the Manta makes more sense generally for summer alpinism on the matterhorn and my current ability in mountaineering overall. However my heart learns towards the B3 because it will mean I dont have to spend lots of money in the future again when I want to try ice climbing/more technical routes. As it stands thought my outings will be B2 technicality for the time being. I was set on getting the manta's but when I tried on the mont blanc's they didnt seem as stiff as I imagined they were going to be and now I am confused! Looking forward to your reply.
My main worry about the B3 is that it could hinder me on the more technical summer alp climbs that are lower down but maybe I am misunderstand
@@joelawrence9972 Good question! For the Cuillin ridge, you’ll find B2 boots far more sensitive (and lighter) to climb in. They’ll also accept crampons for some winter mountaineering in Scotland and summer Alpine. With what you outlined, I’d steer you away from B3’s and to get a B2 boot, as it would suit you better and for a wider range of plans you’ve got. Hope this helps!
excellent video - thank you! Quick question. What crampon would you recommend for a B3 boot? Does it matter between C1, C2 and C3? Any general rule of thumb that should be followed when choosing a crampon for a boot? i.e. B3 with C3 or similar?
@@rock_6022 Great question - a B3 boot will take any crampon type, but C1’s are typically flexible and the B3’s are rigid, so no the best match. A C2 like Grivel G12 crampons are ideal, and C3 crampons tend to be technical for ice climbs or hard mixed. So for your B3’s, look to ideally use C2 or C3 crampons
Por Dios! Está esquelético!!.... - Se le notan las costillas.....

And this is precisely how they picked me off the mountain on 28/06/2023 when I couldn't use my right ankle anymore after 15m-20m slide in steep neve (with crampons and ice axe) unto a rocky-outcrop. The helicopter (the yellow-red one) put one skate-support 15cm above steep slope, had enough tilt for me to stand-up under the rotor on one leg, and reach into the 4 arms of the waiting rescuers on the skate-support. These crews are simply amazing professionals!🙏
Thanks mate, very helpful! I'm going to Nepal to climb a couple trekking peaks ( Mera and Island) any recommendations?
B3 boots definitely for these peaks!
@@icicleUK i was told by a few different outdoor shops that for the 6000-ers, I need double boots. Is this a necessity, or can we get by on single boots? Thinking specifically mera peak in may/june. Thanks
@@rock_6022 Double boots are in the B3 category, so you’ve received good advice. I’d ask whichever outfit you’re climbing with for a list of recommended boots for your trip. Some people take single layer B3 boots with an insulated over gaiter. Definitely seek further advice though
Amazing
What was the 2nd boot?
Hello, the second boot was the Sportiva Trango Tech GTX boot
Nice one! Great bit of advice 👍👍
girth hitch for the sling recommended to pull the carabiners together
In some instances yes, but be wary of this advice with heavier loads, as stopping a slight vertical shift in the karabiner further from the load, reduces its braking potential. The key focus is keeping the two karabiners in alignment, and not able to twist apart (e.g. if using two quickdraws), and one way of achieving this is to clip both karabiners through another screw gate krab initially. The most important point is that this hitch is always closely controlled by the operator.
Did it yesterday and it was intense but amazing
Great vid thanks!
insane
1ER EXPÉRIENCE D'ALPINISME SUR LE MONT BLANC 🏔🧗 VIDÉO 👉🏼ruclips.net/video/ea5WhSjYIVA/видео.html #tarikleglobetrotteur
Thanks for your demonstration. I think you should compare MSR Lightning with TSL Highlander Access or Adjust than with TSL 325
For me it’s like this Jordan playing James and winning by 15 points after spotting him 10
That pilot has skills and some big balls also. If that rotor clips the mountain its all over.
🖤
wow...
I'm worried about his health actually......So skinny
He HAS TO BE skinny. Muscle consumes energy and oxygen. In addition it prevents injuries.
Doing some pull-ups wouldn't hurt him.
He ran the hardrock 100 with a dislocated shoulder. what would u do. Pussy
He climbs far better than you do
allez les bleus
Un pilote d'exception , bravo^^
Wow, neat clapping. Swing and a miss, RUclips algorithm.

... 😂
Great
he goin places
Suffering and joy arent mutually exclusive
So Crazy 😳😳
I think you mentioned weight load with the MSRs which ruled me out, but for the TSL ones, I am 100 kilos so is this weight OK for the 325s? DIsclaimer - I am insecure enough to feel the need to point out that 100 kilos but only 14% body fat, 10 years in the gym has made me heavy.
Hi Chris, we've used both these types of snowshoe with users that far exceed the advertised maximum weights, and the snowshoes were fine. I think there's a fair bit of caution from the manufacturers, so wouldn't rule either type out. Our snowshoes get a hard life being loaned out to clients every day, and often used on challenging and demanding terrain, so I'm sure we'd have noticed any damage by now. Hope this helps!
@@icicleUK Thank you for your explanation. I am 95kg and I was concerned with TSL325 (50-120kg) when I made a test in 50-60cm snow I was going deep and I was wondering if it is normal. From your story seems normal.... A lot of videos on youtube make seeing how to use snowshoes but in shallow snow.
@@leonardilie9524 Hi, it's completely variable how far you sink in, dependent on the quality of the snowpack and how well consolidated it is. For example in fresh powder you'd expect to sink in a good way, but in wetter snow, or better frozen or consolidated snow, you might only sink a few cm. On windslab or icy conditions, you stay on the very top. Most snowshoe videos are filmed in easier conditions, where the user is more on the surface, and you can see the snowshoes.
Ets el millor del mon!
That's some pretty impressive flying
No sory ale on wyglada jakby wogóle sie nie zmeczył😉co za kandycja
Question: which snow shoe would you reccomend for a man weighing 95-100 kg with about a 15-18 kg pack in Scandinavian conditions? Thanks for the informative guide BTW.
For Scandanavian conditions, I'd suggest the MSR's due to the greater floatation, and the snowpack you'd encounter being colder and drier than Alpine conditions, so being lighter and less transformed, so less bonded. Hope this helps.
@@icicleUK Thanks
Ke makina kiero ser como tú jajaaj made in sapain
Glenridding zip-line stopped, Thirlmere zip-line stopped, and so another battle commences. What next? Next is the Whinlatter multiple cable-car system starting from beside Ladstock Hall in Thornthwaite to lift holiday-makers to a viewing platform (and whatever else) atop the Hospital Plantation (the NE ridge of Grisedale Pike); zip-line(s), 'alpine slide' and dark skies observatory on Ullister Hill, and as yet undefined 'accomodation' - all at the Forestry Commision's soon to be renamed 'Mountain' Centre. So confident are they that, already in the works, is the turbine house for hydro-power to drive all this. It's just one damn thing after another! (see FB 'No Go Gondola') On hearing about it a young local woman summed it up: "Why? You can walk up!"
Thanks again for a fantastic week. Great fun!
I learn about St Bernard Monastery in "New Concept English" which is written by L.G. Alexander. thx to him
Well said sir!!

Where is the ten minutes where he does what he does best and promotes himself?
Great speech by Terry right from the heart .. It is a time that totally inappropriate business ventures such as the Treetop Zip Wires and those who support such ventures are exposed as people who look on our National Parks, not for there beauty but a place for finacial gain.
You managed to edit the ten minutes out beforehand where you tried to sell your dvds for your failing film career. Before you used the profile of a new great charity supporting fix the fells and the red squirrels just because they are staying neutral on controversial topics as they are a new charity. I think it was done in a rude obnoxious manner. I personally agree that the zip wire is not a great thing. But this is not the time or place to oppose, it hijacking a great charities limelight just because you don’t have a loud enough voice on your own.
'tis a rare thing these days to see someone make a moral stand against something with which they do not agree. Respect to you Terry Abraham 👍👍
Well said Terry
I feel that all the celebrities of the Lake District who are involved with the various boards,organisations and charities that seem to be supporting this Zip Wire proposal,should consider their personal position within those groups. They could stand to loose a lot of credibility and popularity if this proposal were to ahead.
