Fun story from Matterhorn: there was a class of students ages 16-17 who had taken a journey across Europe studying history while practicing cross country running. (Well most of them- one student was more into the history and adamantly decided to only walk.) the trip ended at Zermatt, with a climb to the first checkpoint of the Matterhorn (or at least to some point just beyond the stop at Schwarzee.) Now, that one unathletic student knew they couldn’t keep up, so they decided to focus on photos and appreciating the hike instead of keeping up with the group. Now, at one point she came across two other students who seemed to actually be hiking to a house. She got their attention and tried to point in what she thought was the right direction, but the other two wandered off and started following another hiker. What was to be done? So, the girl followed after with the thought that a staying together would be better. The group ended up on their own, and the path seemed a lot harder than the teacher promised it would be. They had to navigate footing on loose rocks and boulders, giant sheets of ice on a steep slope, and a path about 7 inches wide, that when turning did so about 335 degrees in a sharp, tight manner. For a teenage girl it was terrifying, especially with the valley of Titian-sized spikes below the sheer drop. During one of the hardest points, a combination of the sheer drop, lack of path and ice coverings, the group ran into the hiker from earlier.much more experienced, he helped the girls safely navigate the terrain, assisting each one in their crossing. Hilariously, it turns out his girlfriend graduated from the exact same high school as the students- which is one of the crazier coincidences I’ve encountered. Eventually, the group made it to Schwarzsee and its restaurant- where a bunch of worried teachers and chaperones greeted them. The students were almost 2 hours behind all the others! The girls explained why, attesting to the difficult terrain. This puzzled the adults- the path they were supposed to climb was gradual, wide, and forested. After some map examining, everyone figured it out. The group of girls actually hiked the dangerous edge, traversed over to the nearby peak and then back again to Schwarzsee! For comparison, it was akin to someone learning to ski attempting their first trail/descent on a black diamond right off the bat. Turns out the hiker they followed was extremely experienced, and in no way should they have gone that way! After going inside for warmth and pie, some of the adults accompanied the girls to the meeting point just a bit higher up on the Matterhorn base. Meanwhile, that unathletic girl? She found the summer weather to be perfectly bright and chilly, and cozied up in her jacket, sleeping for over an hour curled up in a hammock like chair on the patio. And that’s the story of how I accidentally climbed two mountains, almost fell into a valley of rocks/spikes, and took the best nap of my entire life.
I climb up Mount Holyoke almost every year. Ok, it's only 1000 feet high, but at least I don;t have to worry about my friends dying on the moutain either
@@benghazi4216 Here's another recommendation: Nanga Parbat. Hermann Buhl made the ascent alone, and returned on nothing but balls of steel, surviving an entire night standing in the middle of the mountainside.
Keep in mind that these are warehouses, they exist in some similar form in most of Europe. Asia and Africa too, but not as preserved unless currently in use
I do have a problem with Extrahistory mentioning that the “face” of the Eiger was climbed during the initial wave of Alpine mountaineering - while the Mountain itself was climbed early on, the actual North Face (which has an insanely tragic history and frankly could deserve an entire series in its own right) wasn’t climbed until the 1930s
Fun fact: the Railway to the jungfraujoch, that had to blow its way troug multiple Kilometers of stone with exploseives where Faster on the Jungfraujoch than those guys on the eiger
This would actually make a really good movie: A mountain climber desperate to beat another group to the top of the untamed Matterhorn puts together a rag-tag group to try to take them on.
Then in the third act half the rag-tag group who we will have come to know and love throughout the epic struggle dies in a freak accident and we're left with the Avengers-esque question of "Did you do it?" "Yes." "What did it cost?" "...everything..."
I am from the region of Zermatt, about an hour upwards the valley and in school we learned about this story and whenever we where in Zermatt we heard and read about it and I have to say, it's very interesting to hear everything from an outside view an in English ^^
Which is worse; Falling to your death, being smashed against the rocks & ice with snow and the cold preventing you from dying right away, or watching that happen to *TWO* of your friends & coming home to constantly be told how it was your fault & be forced to relive it over and over to "prove" your innocence. Great sport, that one.
And yet if Croz could find a hold maybe the two other, experienced mountaineers could have too and then the inexperienced could have been guided to grab on to something This is the problem with survivors guilt and tragedies. There’s always a “what if”
Yo, a few years back, some madlads used a helicopter to fly an entire Kiosk to the peak of the Matterhorn just to mess with famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner. He had made a guided tour and when he finally arrived at the top, there was just this dude in a Kiosk telling him that: "Yeah, every morning I come up here to sell my wares and then I head down again..." And then the man also asked Messner to sign the Kiosks supply of his book, to increase their retail value.
Tbh we kinda did expect it, they announced this series and the few after it in the Teddy the Trustbuster Lies video, next series is the Thirty Year's War
I’ve actually attempted climbing the Matterhorn! I was about seventeen feet up and got dragged back down. Apparently Disneyland frowns upon doing that. 😢
3 minutes ago? Last time I was this early, the Swiss Matterhorn was only about as tall as the Disneyland Matterhorn, because the collision between Africa and Europe was still beginning.
I always found the fact that people who climb Everest can actually use the frozen, irretrievable corpses of those who had failed and died on the mountain as markers incredibly morbid.
Extra history should do a video on the discovery of Everest as the highest mountain on earth Before Everest was discovered, in 18th and early 19th century, the title of the highest mountain kept changing places with new mountains getting discovered that had higher peaks. Even after Everest was discovered it took decades of disputes before it finally got termed the highest.
I can confirm that people dying attempting such a challenge only encourages more people to come and try. In my area is a railroad bridge with a 70 foot deep pool of water below it and screwy teenagers jump off of it safely all the time but when some of those screwy teenagers died jumping off of it once it only encouraged more screwy teenagers to come from further away to jump off it because in their words "it must be an amazing experience because it was worth dying for".
not just nice to hear about mountain climbing but about this era in general and how they experienced it versus how we see it today with all our advanced gear and procedure that we ultimately have this era to thank for
Everytime I hear Matterhorn I think of the famous expert mountain climber Reinhold Messner who is very critical of tourism on such high mountains. In the 80s a German TV Show called „Verstehn Sie Spass“ did a prank on him by placing a souvenir shop on top of the Matterhorn (with a little help by a helicopter) just before he did a tour there. He was furious... I remember seeing the skit on TV as a child. Did not understand the travesty / parody behind the idea but still it was very funny.
My grandffather actually was a mountainclimber, het loved the mountains and he asked my grandmother the scatter his ashes there.. And we decided to do so on the Matterhorn after he died. We (as a family from the Netherlands) still hike up the Matterhorn every 5 years to honour him.
Something @Extra Credits didn't mention was how hard the altitude is From my experience (mountaineering is a hobby of mine) taking a step at 12000 feet makes you feel like you have just sprinted 100 METERS! Altitude is the killer of mountaineering Also fun fact Matterhorn and Everest are not the hardest/most dangerous mountain to climb That would be Annapurna 1 it is 26000 feet or so and has a fatality rate of 30% so good luck climbing that!
I don't think I've ever found a history channel as diverse as EH, you guys are awesome!! I know I'm not a patreon (yet) but can I suggest the Birkenhead drill for an episode?
The start of the path to the Hornili hut (on the site of Wymper’s bivouac) passes through Zermatt churchyard. It reminds you of the risks. Lucy Walker is commemorated in the Mont Blanc massif with her name being given to the Walker spur on the grande jorasses
Well, as someone who lived not far from Zermatt, and has skied there, I might not look at that mountain face the same way again. Or Toblerone, I guess.
looking how extreme people can limb off shear cliffs holding on by their wrists. creatures designed to walk great distances instead are able to hoist ourselves up the tallest of rock is nothing but amazing
If you are interested in covering other mountaineering stories I have always been inspired by local legend Putrid Pete Schoening heroics on K2 known as The Belay. Would be cool to see a video on that.
The part about the rope is actually more complicated. When running to the top, the good rope was cut. That's how they ended up using a weaker rope. This hunted the older guide all his life (but it was not his mistake).
I vizeted the climbers grave yard in zermont it is vary sobering for a climber to see. I have been climbing for 10 years all over the country dert bagging is the best
How terrifying would it have been to be in that fall... like wow. Also, why did they tie themselves together? It’s hard enough to hold yourself onto a rock face, imagine two adults attached to you and falling. I’m floored that he was able to hold on
A few years ago, I watched a very good TV documentary about this event (produced by the Swiss TV network SRF). Whymper tried to blame the accident on the Taugwalders, but the conclusion of the documentary was that, most likely, he himself caused it. When he and Croz chased to the summit, they went far ahead of the others and in order to do so, Whymper cut the rope which connected him and Croz to the rest of the team. When the they climbed down again, the remaining rope was to short for all of them, so they had to use the lower quality spare rope to connect the two parts of the better rope. It was this connection between Taugwalder and Douglas which snapped.
YEESSS !!! Finaly an episode featuring Switzerland. Now I have an occasion to write my suggestion. I cureently have two on my mind: 1. The connection of the nazis and Switzerland. 2. An extra mythology episode about Willhelm Tell (national hero of Switzerland)
This is super nit picky, but the Italian side should get more direct sunlight than the Swiss side. I found the reference for that drawing and only the top is in shadow. Might not be important for the story, but it’s one of the things that makes the Matterhorn deceiving. I have heard the last part of the Italian side was really dangerous.
I m from switzerland, and i watched a documentary of the matterhorn accident. And it has been reported, that whimper cut the rope a bit, as he tried to be the first on the peak. respect from 🇨🇭 for this series.
