A very detailed film of the Matterhorn set in 3 parts. Part 1 starts at 4:31 features the climb from the Hornli Hut to the Solvay Hut. Part 2 starts at 13:01 follows the climb from the Solvay Hut to the Summit. Part 3 begins at 31:32 and follows the descent from the Summit to the Hornli Hut. The actual climb was an 8 hour round trip (4 hours from Hornli Hut to Summit and 4 hours descent) crammed into just under 50 minutes. This video while it seems rather long in duration, its main purpose is to inform clients who wish to climb one of the most iconic peaks on the planet safely. I would like to thank Icicle Mountaineering for their impeccable logistical support and for putting together an incredible course which has enabled me to fulfill a dream. Their website is here : http://www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/ and the course that I booked on is here: http://www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/matterhorn.shtml I would also like to extend my special thanks and appreciation to the climbing legend Ervin Velic who I climb with usually every year. He is one of Icicle Mountaineering Ltd's guides (and they have many highly qualified and experienced Guides) yet Ervin is someone who I have trusted with my life literally, he is a lot of fun off the mountain but deadly serious on the mountain with extremely high standards.
