This brings back so many memories from soloing it in the early 90's. There was more snow when I did it, and i glissaded down some of those long, smooth slopes. When I was lying in the sun resting at the bottom of a glissade, Air Zermatt came flying over for a body-check, then off again when I waved happily. Great video. And yes, the top is sketchy. Great video.
That summit looked super sketch. Very impressive ascent though, from what i know one of the hardest summit pushes in the alpes given the total altitude gain and altitude, but those views definitely made up for it
Wow, this is so unbelievably inspiring. Honestly so impressive after all the challenges in the past few weeks, then to knock this off. You both have a great mindset and keen to see what challenges come next. Thanks for giving me the energy to put my shoes on and go on a run.
Climbing Kilimanjaro from sea level sounds like an absolutely incredible challenge! The quick altitude gain on the Umbwe route must have been tough, but what an achievement to reach Uhuru Peak. Hiking across Tanzania and tackling Kilimanjaro like that - just wow. Thanks for sharing such an epic adventure! I would love to do this hike somedau!
Thanks for this amazing video . I am Italian and I climbed the Signal Spitze where Capanna Margherita is situated ....surely an easier alpine route . Good luck guys.
Enjoyed this! we did this route some years ago from Monte Rosa hut / Sattel ridge but did not film very much. It was spectacular, thanks for some great memories 👍
Thank you for the lovely comment, I'm always happy when someone acknowledge the music haha. The Dufourspitze is a great goal to have/train for, let me know how it goes 💪
Heart congrats my friend.....My best wishes are always with both of you....Being myself a trekker , I do understand pains and satisfaction of such jumbo hikes....Congrats again...Waiting for your next adventures !!!
I got more confident with flying the drone, three weeks later I flew it into my ice axe by mistake on the top of a mountain and snapped 2 of the propellers off 😂
Congrats for the entire project! And also, thanks for the lack of fisheye/ultra wide footage. While I do get the point of getting more into the frame, I love to see things as they are.
Beautiful peak, but why not ascend from the Margarita hut directly? Is it much more difficult? I think in one of the videos you guys actually stayed at the hut
What month was this in? Even in the clouds the glacier hiking was otherworldly and im inspired to potentially go myself when I study abroad in Italy next fall! It looks to be about august or September here and that is likely when I would aim to climb as well
Pozdrowienia dla polskiej ekipy z pod szczytu ;) good video and narration, watched it with interest and it recalled me memories of my ascent to the summit 2 years ago. Greetings
awesome filming! great adventures! good news: you have to come back to switzerland again to climb the ACTUALLY HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN SWITZERLAND! 😍 this is the "Dom". dufourspitze (the monte rosa massif) is partly in italy and therefore doesn't qualify as the highest mountain in switzerland...*nobodalovesmartasses* (this time it's for a good purpose - bringing you back) 😘
Dom has been on the list for a loooong time. Small Train to Summit Easter egg, the mountain in the logo is Dom 😉. It's there to act as a simbol of resilience, 3 times I tried and 3 times it didn't happen 😂 Might be in the cards for next year but not sure yet. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment 🙏🏼
Thank you for this. Monte Rosa, I think is a finer mountain than Mont Blanc. More interesting, more laid out topographically. It suffers from the fact it is not quite the same height.
Agreed. What I love most about it is that it feels so remote and far away from civilization. I also found this route to be harder than the Gouter route on MB
Hey, what is currently your go-to boot on approach or easy trails without bolder fields? Tried to look through your vid's but couldn't find one talking about it.
Hi. For hiking I use Scarpa Men's Mistral GTX, it's comfortable and stable but the sole of the boot isn't as grippy as I'd like it to be. On the approach to the mountain huts I usually use regular running/walking shoes, like Nikeys, however for the last 3 Alpine trips we had I chose to go in my B2 boots (Scarpa Ribelle Lite) so I don't carry the weight of the boots on my back. I climbed in both Scarpa & La Sportiva before and I prefer Scarpa's. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
@@TraintoSummit Hey, thanks so much for explaining it in so much detail! I am currently in need of new boots for shoulder seasons and summer alpine hiking (maybe mild winter hiking too) and am not quite sure if B2's are really necessary or something between B1 and B2's. Thanks and keep up the good work! :)
Thanks for watching! I was. I don't like it when I can clearly see someone pilot the drone while they take the shot, it takes me away from the moment. I frame the drone where I want it and hold the joystick down to go in that direction while walking like I'm not holding the remote😅
@@TraintoSummit cool! Your videos really catch the essence of the mountains I find! Plus im familiar with Zermatt and Kazbegi so was soo cool to see you go there! Great work )
Nice coverage, hopefully will be also standing there one day? What is the mountain @14:10 ? Looks quite "hikey", maybe a good start for newbies like myself?!
Signalkuppe (4,554m) where the highest mountain hut in Europe, Capanna Margherita, lies. If you go on the channel (2 videos behind this one) you can see the video I made on climbing that peak over a 3 day trip. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations, I would respectfully suggest reviewing the ‘committed regardless of anything’ there’s no shame in turning back. You need to do more than try, check weather forecasts, what do guides recommend, avoid navigation errors, what was the strategy if cloud closed in for the next day? Avalanche precaution, shovels, probes, recovery. Good fortune isn’t always abounding in the mountains. Take Care
I completely agree with you, and I think everyone should follow what you just said. What I mean with that statement is: When I climb, especially a big objective like Dufourspitze, I make it clear to my mind that no matter what happens, you have to get up there - because the way my mind works is that it will find excuses when the going gets tough to turn back. So there is no 'maybe I will make it'. Of course if the situation calls for it I'll go back, and I think everyone should. But it's just my psychological 'trick' to get the job done. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
You can definitely cross the entire glacier without having to jump more than half a meter if you find the right spots - I mainly went over the 1m ones for dramatic purposes. Thanks for watching!
You guys are truly next level. I'm in love with mountains too, but your mountains are like giants compared to those I tackle! I'd be terrified to hold a big camera up at that summit, I can almost smell the thin air. But man it was amazing!
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thankfully the camera that I have is small and quite lite, but also pretty high quality😂 That night was one of those where you don't remember your dreams, you just kind of pass out in one position and wake up in the exact same position haha
Where did you both start from and where did you get the train to? Looking to complete this route this year and can’t seem to find out the info. Thanks 🏔️🐐
We took the train from Zermatt to either Riffelsee or Riffelberg station (one is further away and costs less money so we went there). Hiked from the train station to the Monte-Rosa hut. The trail is very well marked from the train station. Thanks for watching!

That is a great story haha. Would of been even more challenging then without the Monte Rosa hut. Thanks for watching!
the surrounding view from the summit is gorgeous, stunning and beautiful.
Completely agree. That area is amazing. Thanks for watching!
One of the best TH-cam series I’ve ever seen !! Can’t believe I’m not paying for this , love the content so inspiring 🤩🤩🤩
You made my day. Thank you for watching our videos, more to come!
First time viewer, loved the video really well put together, congrats on the summit! Looking forward to more content
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for following along 🙌🏼

Thanks, bro. This thing was definitely an endurance event😮💨
This completely freaked me out!! OMG you all are amazing!
There are some STEEP drops towards the peak 😅 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this amazing video . I am Italian and I climbed the Signal Spitze where Capanna Margherita is situated ....surely an easier alpine route . Good luck guys.
Grazie mille!
Such good footage ur video actually gives a good idea of what and how to prepare
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for your work, this was great!
Appreciate you watching 🙏🏼

A fantastic achievement and equally great video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thank you for your comment and for watching!
Ok guys I'm addicted to watching now!! You two are epic. Big respect!!
Thanks Kitty!
Very slick and professional GoPro and drone footage. Like the climb route explanations and honesty when mistakes are made. Great achievement!
Thanks John 🙏🏼
Enjoyed this! we did this route some years ago from Monte Rosa hut / Sattel ridge but did not film very much. It was spectacular, thanks for some great memories 👍
Climbing Monte Rosa was such an amazing experience. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome, thanks for the trip with you....
Thank you for watching!
I rarely do comments, but your video footage, editing, and music is exceptional. Great. Now I am inspired to do this hike.
Thank you for the lovely comment, I'm always happy when someone acknowledge the music haha. The Dufourspitze is a great goal to have/train for, let me know how it goes 💪
Amazing as always guys! The b rolls are next level keep it up you two are awesome I love the content
Thank you mate🙏
Man, what a ride. Thanks for sharing.
Today is a kinda hard one, and you managed to kick my butt out. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll try😊
Thanks for the comment Rino - I'm glad it helped😊
Such incredible views! Love the footage
… super nice and super beautiful and you guys are a cool team!
Thanks!
Heart congrats my friend.....My best wishes are always with both of you....Being myself a trekker , I do understand pains and satisfaction of such jumbo hikes....Congrats again...Waiting for your next adventures !!!
Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching! It was a great adventure 🙌🏼
Great footage-amazing both of you!
Thank you ☺
Just came across the channel. Phenomenal video, amazing footage and superb views. Subscribed. Will now binge the rest of your videos 👏🏼
You made my day. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!
Great video 🙏
Amazing 🤩
Congrats folks!
Thank you!
Very nice. Thank you
That acclimatisation is how I felt after flying into Quito , the first night was wild...
Epic work guys. Another great vid! The last section did look pretty sketchy!
Lachyyy, next time we go there together bro!
the drone shots are great. Love it
I got more confident with flying the drone, three weeks later I flew it into my ice axe by mistake on the top of a mountain and snapped 2 of the propellers off 😂
I climbed this last Sunday, it was epic. You should try the Matterhorn next, not as high but definitely more technical climb 🎉
Well done! The Matterhorn is definitely on the list 💪 Thanks for watching
You're video editing skills are getting better and better! Really enjoyed the last few videos!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked them!
Awesome! Absolutely awesome effort from you both!
Thank you 🙌
It took us more than a week from memory to recover from this trip😅
@@TraintoSummit not surprised dude! You guys did some crazy mileage. Trip to remember for a lifetime!
Onto the next one 🤙🏻
Sunteți minunați! Va iubesc!❤
😘
Great work you guys! 🎉
Thanks!
Congrats for the entire project! And also, thanks for the lack of fisheye/ultra wide footage. While I do get the point of getting more into the frame, I love to see things as they are.
Completely agree with all of that! Hahaha. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful peak, but why not ascend from the Margarita hut directly? Is it much more difficult? I think in one of the videos you guys actually stayed at the hut
@@Serinia4melodic Thanks for watching. Viv wasn't comfortable with doing that traverse
Incredible video, incredible effort! 🏔️
Thank you 🙌🏼
Nicely done guys!
Thanks Nandor!
What month was this in? Even in the clouds the glacier hiking was otherworldly and im inspired to potentially go myself when I study abroad in Italy next fall! It looks to be about august or September here and that is likely when I would aim to climb as well
We did it late June. It's an amazing route, enjoy it and thanks for watching!
Enjoy your Adventure
Really enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
Pozdrowienia dla polskiej ekipy z pod szczytu ;) good video and narration, watched it with interest and it recalled me memories of my ascent to the summit 2 years ago. Greetings
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I was like. "Oh you guys rock! You are going across Northend. "
You one moment later: I took the wrong way
😂😂😂

What is the camera equipment you use for your trekking?
Sony RX 100 VII is the main camera, DJI Mini 3 pro and my phone sometimes - Galaxy S22
Sehr gut. Schönes Video ! Hab auch grad erste Wandervideos angefangen 🙂

Amazing!
Thanks bro. In September we're going back to Triglav, shout if you wanna climb it again yeah😂
When did you go there? I mean in which month in this year?
We were there around the 26th of June this year. Great conditions
Congratulations, I would respectfully suggest reviewing the ‘committed regardless of anything’ there’s no shame in turning back. You need to do more than try, check weather forecasts, what do guides recommend, avoid navigation errors, what was the strategy if cloud closed in for the next day?

Thanks for watching!
are you planning on climbing in the Himalayas and Karakorams too?
I would love to, hopefully one day!
Always wanted to go to the monte Rosa Hut, but worried about those 1m crevasse jumps...
You can definitely cross the entire glacier without having to jump more than half a meter if you find the right spots - I mainly went over the 1m ones for dramatic purposes. Thanks for watching!
@@TraintoSummit ok, great thanks I will give it a try
Great footage ! going for it tomorrow :D May I ask when you did the climb ?
We climbed it on the 1st of July this year. You got this 💪💪
is that a decathalon rando rope? i use one scrambling in n. wales.
I don't know the name of it but it's from Decathlon yes 😂
Epic af
Your cousin is a mountain climbing machine mate 👾
God, that final summit ridge looks scary AF... 😱
Viv wasn't impressed with me when she got there😅
good job..!
Thank you!
Cool video❤ got my follow❤
I really love your Glases, how are they called?
Thanks. Vallon glacier
You guys are truly next level. I'm in love with mountains too, but your mountains are like giants compared to those I tackle!

Amazing and very motivational! After doing the TMB as my first hike I've been bit by the hiking bug!
Thank you. The TMB is definitely on the bucket list, it looks incredible!
what it is the brand or model of your glasses???? pleaaaseeeee
It's Vallon. We love them, they're great and very light
Amazing 🔥🔥👌🏽
Thanks Juan🙌
Is it a harder climb than Mont Blanc?
I found it harder than the Gouter route on Mont Blanc
oh my God! really!
Nice climb :)
That area of the Alps is stunning...Thanks for watching!
what day on the year was that? August maybe?
2nd of July I think
@@TraintoSummit thank you
bravo
Thank you
Good job
Thanks!
la vetta del Monte Rosa non è in Svizzera, ma in Italia
Unroped crossing glacier in the day? Sorry but doesn't look super safe.
It's a dry glacier. It's up to the party to choose if they want to equip or not. Thanks for watching
solo all free
that is the way i wanna do it
💯Agreed
Nice! Got a follow from me
Thanks!
Goal couple be like
I like how Monte Rosa and the Mount Blanc are never in Italy but always in Switzerland or France...
So true 😂 - The easier access is never from Italy I suppose!
@@TraintoSummit I guess! :)
maps are useful
The highest mountain in switzerland is dufourspitze
Where did you both start from and where did you get the train to? Looking to complete this route this year and can’t seem to find out the info. Thanks 🏔️🐐
We took the train from Zermatt to either Riffelsee or Riffelberg station (one is further away and costs less money so we went there). Hiked from the train station to the Monte-Rosa hut. The trail is very well marked from the train station.
