I've heard that some alpine mountains are as physically large as the Himalayan peaks you know base and up so if you put Matterhorn not the same base would it rise as high because both mountains biggest faces are 2000m but the Himalayan ones are already on a plateau 5000m high

We did the Matterhorn and the Zinal Rothorn the month before doing Ama Dablam. We did them both back to back and I can tell you that they were easy in comparison. Partly because you're not carrying cooking/sleeping/tent kit as well in the Alps, but also the altitude plays a big part in the effort. It took four days climbing from base camp as something around 5000m to get up to the peak at 68,something, something. Perhaps it's just because of the altitude, but the climbing went on FOREVER!

@tylerbtraveling. We went in October and summited on 5th November. We used existing pitons to belay/abseil from on rock and had a couple of ice screws and four snow stakes for the snow sections. Snow stakes came in handy for summit day. We took two tents and leap frogged them up the mountain. Camp 2 is tricky with all best plpaces being taken by sherpas from organised expeditions. We blagged an empty tent as they're put them up days in advance of the cleints getting there, talk to sherpas in BC

I love the Asian music in the middle of the video. Where can I find the music? Great video, it really motivates me.

Badmarsh and Shri is the band, can't remember the track name. I've lost all my tunes since making this. :( I think you can get it on amazon, itunes, etc. Thanks for the compliment. Seems like a long time ago now. Ski-mountaineering in the Alps to come. Watch this space.
