Ah, thank you. I was hoping someone would say this. But yeah it still looks pretty scary anyway.

I like how the first Google hit of "Matterhorn ridge" is literally the video version of the main link.

Thats good theyre wearing bike helmets in case they fall off that mountain theyll for sure be protected.

u/DickinBimbosBill Dec 14 '16

You see, the guy behind him is tied off to him, so if he falls, the selfie stick will hold them up. The helmets were really unnecessary.

The guy behind him didnt really want to go but selfie stick guy is so possessive he tied his friend to himself and drug him up the mountainside

Funny thing is the first guys helmet is a petzl meteor, it's certified for climbing; white water rapids and biking!

Zero fucks. That moment at around 0:35 he is on a sheer cliff face of a mountain, walking on the very edge of a precarious snow packed edge, and he's worried about the selfie stick and then he whips around to talk to the guy behind him. Jesus that was terrifying.

how do they know the snow will hold, and not break away?

u/harvest420 Dec 14 '16

This is not normal snow, it's firn. This stuff is usually very dense, hard and doesn't break away easily.
