"If you slip... you're gone!" - Trying not to fall on Matterhorn Peak | Climbing & Backpacking

- Three years ago we hiked to the top of what might be the coolest mountain in the Sierra Nevada - Matterhorn Peak. Now we’re going back to Hoover Wilderness to summit it again but this time, we’re climbing it the hard way - with ropes! With our bags packed full of camping and rock climbing gear, we set out for our first alpine climbing endeavor! It was challenging, scary at times, and a true test of our limits but mostly... it was an adventure that we will never forget. Enjoy :)

Hey… I know you’re probably like us and just browse the homepage for something to watch… but if you clicked “subscribe” that would be awesome and it helps us out 🙏🏼 Thanks!
It's a good day when Cody and Victoria bless my weekend breakfast with a video! A damn master piece as always!
My mannn!! Thanks as always 🤙🏼
Mad respect!
Every time I see these amazing climbing shots I ask myself 'are they not even a little bit afraid of those heights?'
It's a joy to comfortably admire these scenes from my safe couch.
So good y'all. You made the whole adventure look like so much fun. Film quality is perfection, keep up the amazingness.
Super fun to watch...Thanks... I took my son up that route for his high school graduation. Last year I tried to ski the couloir.. but only got half way up and freaked out. Skied back to the little lake.
We’d like to get out and ride Ski Dreams at some point… gotta get to Matterhorn in the winter now that we’ve been in the summer. 🙃
You guys are the most badass couple! This was a particularly enjoyable video for the incredible exposures, the tough climb, and the emotional togetherness of the two of you. Its also very interesting that your physical capabilities seem to be very similar in these tough challenges.
Thanks for the huge compliment!! Every time one of us gets a step ahead, the other immediately catches up. 😅 We will be on the same level forever haha.
That was amazing! Victoria is such a bad ass!!! My wife and i are Subscribers for life!
❤️❤️❤️
Congrats to you both for accomplishing something as challenging as this. As a climber, I know that feeling of setting out on something big for the first time. You are an inspiration to my wife and I!! One of your best videos.
I've hiked to the top of this peak twice and it's just so beautiful. One of my absolute favorites.
My great uncle and aunt were 2 of the first four people to climb the Double Dihedral route on Matterhorn back in 1965. They were super cool.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow crazy story! A great peak 😄
Omg, these views and overall atmosphere you created are something special! Brilliant work!👏👏
This was an epic one! Really cool to see you guys growing as climbers. Not so long ago you went climbing for the first time and here you are on top of the Matterhorn peak. Well done 👏🏻
So excited to have a place to share our progression and hopefully inspire other people.
Best damn video ever. The colors, the environment, the rock. I've just came back from climbing but hell yeah I want go there now!
Wow that was intense! I was on the edge of my seat for this one. Great job guys!!
Thanks Tolu! Miss you guys ❤️
Awesome video. You really captured the alpine climbing experience. Doing it as a couple is really special as well. And your video production is top notch.
Great view from up top!
Loved the new documentary interview style shot.
Always trying to add a little something new. Thanks for watching!
@redbull SPONSOR THIS COUPLE lol. Great video dude. Views are
For days!!!
😂😂 that’d be nice
Glad to see others taking notes! I started doing it in 2017 what a treat it is to look back at your mind and smile!
So cool
Nice job! I've been a subscriber for a long time now, and I have always loved the handheld look of your videos. I still have no idea how you get that movement into your tripod shots, but I absolutely love it!! Keep doing what you're doing!
Hey thanks man! There’s a bunch of ways to do it and tons of tutorials here on TH-cam. Preciate ya continuing to watch!
I can't believe that I get to watch your guys' videos for FREE?! What?! Keep up the great videos!
What a compliment! Thanks a ton for being here ❤️
This was amazing!! Great job y’all!!
Yay, Cody and Victoria climbing video! Looked like a lot of fun - very adventurous. So, so different from sport climbing.
Loved the format of this video, guys. Looks like such an incredible place!
so cool!! proud of you guys!!
I've enjoyed this one so much guys! What a splendid job you're doing 🤗
Wow so awesome! Congrats on the accomplishment!! I just did a pretty challenging scramble to the top of a spire in the Bugaboos today and it felt like a huge accomplishment. I can’t imagine climbing like you guys did here, but now I’m wondering if it’s something I want to take on one day!
Heck ya! Favorite video!!!
One of ours too
Love your GREAT shots and story telling style! I never get used to loose rock, best for me to stay on high alert.
So inspiring! Wanna go outside everytime I see your asventures, mis amigos. Nice work out there! And super cool app you’re using, so handy.
Sick Work! Passing this climb to scramble up the backside scree field inspired me to start climbing outdoors and learning Trad. I haven't worked my way back yet to conquer the hard way but it's on the to-do list!
coolest couple out there!!! y'all are awesome and love yawls video style and the song y'all had playing called "hey kid"!!
Loved your first video and love the new one! What an amazing adventure and filming! 👏🏼
Thanks for sticking around for so long!

...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Seriously guys, one of the best videos you have done! Loving the new documentary style format as others have said. Always loved the style, colors, music, etc…but this one really made us feel like we were there, in the adventure with you. Really fuels my adventure fire haha. Also, not sure if y’all will see this but Cody where did you get the pants?! I want to get my husband some - I bet he’d like them! And Victoria - I literally have that hat in my shopping cart lol. Anyway, great video you guys!
Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words. We’re hoping to keep dipping our toes in this style so glad it’s working!
Cody’s pants are from Kühl. He has been looking for great outdoor pants for a really long time and is very happy with those ones. In the video are the Suppressor Joggers. He also likes the Renegade Rock pants. 🙌🏼 Find them here :) snp.link/34d1bdc8
Also the hat is amazing ❤️
@@codyandvictoria thanks Victoria! See y’all in the next video, take care :)
y'all are bad-a$$. Inspire me with every video!! hope one day to be able to do the things you two are doing :)
Great story telling as usual! I wonder why I never see people in the states using half ropes on alpine climbs especially when the rock is that fragile? :)
Half ropes just aren’t really a thing over here. No idea why that’s the case. 🤷🏼♂️
Bravvoo!
I love that hike that leads to the base of those peaks. Dang, crossing that vertical snow patch was sketchy.
It’s great! :)
@@codyandvictoriaHi Cody. I also think that it would have been a proper way to navigate that snow patch with an ice axe and at least a pair of 10 point crampons. There is no way to arrest a slip and fall with trekking poles. But I also belive that it is up to each person to choose how safe or less safe they want to make their outdoors adventures. Aside of that, the video footage and the approach to the base of the climb and the climb itself were a blast to watch. You are an amazing talented couple. A joy to watch. 😊👍
@@victorkonstantinyeah we should have brought an axe. We thought it would be more clear based on our research but it could have come in handy
great video guys :)) it would be great if you would show how you repel down
Just walk down on this one :)
waha I for a second thought you climbed the Matterhorn/Monte Cervino here in Europe.. Unfortunately, not. Maybe one day!
Haha not THE Matterhorn.
The production value is just fantastic! Ya'll look so happy doing these backcountry type videos and no longer doing van life. I have been loving the value you both are bringing back to this channel.🥹❤
Hey thanks for noticing and sticking around with us !
A most excellent vid! Which side is the 'non-gear' ascent please?
No gear goes up the couloir that we hiked up to the climb. Just follow it the whole way. You’ll probably still want a helmet at least.
Careful
Great video! Cody what brand of hat are you wearing? Thank you.
Hey! It’s made by coal headwear. Found it on Amazon 🤙🏼
Can you share what books you guys read to learn? I’m looking for more resources ☺️
Planning to hike Twinn lakes to Mule/burro passes in a week and around bensen lake------looks like a bit of snow still------were mule/burro pretty clear ???? thanks
I’m not sure exactly where that’s at but just expect some snow in protected, north facing aspects.
Gnarlyyyyy
Does the 38L work for you guys bc theres two of you and you can share pack space? Think i should get the 50L if its just myself?
For climbing gear definitely it helps because we share. Also if you need a bear canister. 50L might be nice if you’re alone and don’t want to go SUPER light.
Oh sad i thought you meant Matterhorn in Switzerland 🥲
One day…
What route is this? Missing in description. It looks like Double Dihedral?
North Arete!
@codyandvictoria I know its weird to make a request but any chance you could make a video of how you self taught your self to climb? I'm from the east coast and have been stuck bouldering inside, since on the east coast almost everyone boulders and doesn't do this form of climbing. Just a thought but would like to hear your journey and process.
Not weird. Requests are cool. We’ve thought about doing this video but I’d hate for someone to die 😅 I would start with purchasing “Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills”
@@codyandvictoria wait why would someone die? 😂
Because we say “this is how we learned how to climb” then someone buys a book or watches a video we recommend, they try it, they die. 😅
what sunglasses does Victoria have?
I would have ditched the Grigri, more weight than a traditional tube belay device.
Yeah but it’s kinda nice on that top down belay.
@@codyandvictoria true but what if you have to bail on the route? What if your next alpine adventure doesn't have a down climb option? Giving you something to think about to help improve your climbing. That's why I love climbing, so much to learn and improve on.
You can rap with a grigri using a carabiner block and other methods. We could also simul rap
@@codyandvictoria downside to those methods is the rope tends to get stuck more when pulling them. Simul repelling works if the two people are tethered together, or the ends will not be the same length. Lots of problems, just have to work through them. As with anything in life.
Definitely. Climbing is 90% problem solving
Yep JESUS was the one who made that mountain and all the others ,and got you up there without falling 👍🏽
Idk but it was fun.
Nice done you guys... It Is valid to "unsubscribe and click again 😅 👏👏👏
😅
Don't sell the Sierra
Ok
Using Jesus in swearing not such a great idea! Just saying.
I'm sure he will be fine. Surely the Almighty isn't so sensitive?
sad that you cannot even share your map freely. trying to monetize...nickle and dime everything probably not a good way to get new subscribers or people that want to just simply see what you guys do. thumbs down! a simple CalTopo link of your track would have gone a long ways. Just unsubscribed.
Thanks for supporting our channel.
C&V once again putting out the best outdoor content on TH-cam🙌
