World's Fastest Person to Climb the Matterhorn | Dani Arnold

Dani Arnold set a new time world record climbing Matterhorn in Switzerland.

Straddling the border between Switzerland and Italy, The Matterhorn it's one of the three great north faces of the Alps, its jagged edges tracing to a sharp point in the sky. While laypeople may only know it from the packaging of Toblerone chocolate bars, the Matterhorn has an illustrious history, particularly the stunning north face. Another milestone has now been entered into its timeline, as Swiss mountaineer Dani Arnold has set a blazingly fast new record on the route, reaching the summit in only 1 hour 46 minutes, shaving a full 10 minutes off Ueli Steck's record, set in 2009. See highlights of the climb in the video above.

It's considered to be one of the riskiest climbs in the Alps. In fact, the Matterhorn is one of the deadliest peaks in Europe, with over 500 alpinists believed to have died on the mountain. Big ups to Dani for pushing the limits of what he loves to do, and pull off one helluva climb.

I met him in his hometown at the train Station. He was on his way to Pakistan to climb some 7000 meters mountains. A very nice and humble guy. Great sportsman and of course a worldclass mountaineer and climber. It was cool to talk to him a few minutes while we were waiting for our trains.

even supremely confident in your ability to climb you still have to be slightly insane to do this

[MusicQ]

A lot of the great climbers like Guy Cotter and Ang Dorjee say this is the thing about sponsored expeditions and climbs, once you have been to the top, its no big deal, so it becomes a challenge more and more at the risk of your life to satisfy your sponsors.
Its not about time, i'd rather see someone ascend safely and rationally than zip up as fast as they can because the sponsor is paying it

I thought the title for this said "World's Fattest Person to Climb the Matterhorn" and I was like no way.

[brunodantas]

Linda Montanha! Que subida, um mestre do alpinismo.

[sunahamanagai]

How do they get down? These videos never show the descent. That must be way tougher.

[RAWRWAFL]

The title makes it seem like he is a sprinter who is really fast who just happened to climb the matterhorn as opposed to the person to climb it the fastest.

Am I seeing this correctly, this man climbed the north face of the Matterhorn with no ropes? What???

[tubadude]

Pretty damn impressive. We've been to the area 3 times and up to the Hornli Hutte. It is one amazingly vertical piece of rock.
