First Climber on Denali in 2022 | Matthias Rimml's Tragic Climb
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 02. 2024
- On April 30th, 2022, Matthias Rimml was climbing in the wet snow and shivering cold, 18,200 feet high on North America’s tallest peak, Denali. It was still early in the year for the North American climbing season, which meant that Matthias was the first registered mountaineer to kick off the season and the only person currently on the peak. All seemed to be going well as Matthias had regular check-ins with a friend stationed at base camp. But then a day went by with no contact… followed by more days…and then….nothing….This is the story of Matthias Rimml.

Hey everyone thank you for watching! I made a mistake at 7:58 stating Meters when it should have been Feet. Apologies for the mistake!
No problem. We know what you meant.
While we're at it, it's "bivouac" not "biviac." 😅
We'll forgive you this time hahaha. Lobe the channel btw. Not sure this will mean much but I'm watching from NZ. And my dream holiday is to go to camp 1 on all 14 8ks. I'm not mental not gonna climb em
@@matthewmcgrath8886Great project! Let us know how you go! 😁
Yeah, 14k meters seemed a bit much. 😂
@@matthewmcgrath8886 Thank you so much for watching! That actually sounds like a great dream to have! If I could visit Everest in my lifetime I would be content.
I swear 70% of these stories the climbers have a death wish. Same with the cave divers. Always the same set of circumstances. Under prepared, huge sense of hubris and always thinking " I got this ".
The closer you are to death, the more you enjoy life.
@@edjacobson8480 Nah, I've come face to face with the reaper 3 times and barely lived. I'll stick with activities that won't get me killed in horrible ways.
I don't think that Matthias was underprepared. Perhaps he should have taken some more time off between Kilimanjaro and Denali.
@@frankblangeard8865that falls under the category of preparation haha
Yup. It's ego. That feeling, sensation and instinct that would OVERRIDE the ego in most of us, these people don't have that mechanism. Sadly thats how many of them become such accomplished climbers in the first place
I live for the mountaineer videos. The courage it takes to stand alone on a frozen mountain and then the need to summit that mountain just fascinates me. I'm always in awe of the courage and bravery like its just another day on another mountain. Wow. Thank you terror twin. PS When I watch your videos my dog always stands up, looks at me and then looks out the window and barks during the opening scene with the scream. Its the funniest thing.
Holy shit….18,200 meters!!!!
XD
Was wondering if someone caught that. Mans standing at double the height of Everest!
That's only 60,000 ft, a dayhike at best !
Great video, as always.
Thank you!
great vid as usual!
Thank you!
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
🎵She's a biviac, biviac on the rope, and she's climbing like she's never climbed before!🎶
Great! Except it's "bivouac." Terror Twin always mispronounces it. 😅
😂😂😂
I love mountaineering videos thanks for another great one
Thank you!
Can on just stand back and admire the mountain from a far!
Great video 😸
Thank you!
You have some confusion between Feet and Meters that you need to clear up.
0:26 " Then a day went by with no contact, followed by more days and then, nothing. "
Pretty sure ' nothing ' started after the first day lol.
Denali's base camp is at 7200metres? lmao
I use the same lifelong strategy to avoid falling off of mountains that I use to not get bitten by sharks, it's all about strenuous location avoidance.
I’ve recently found your channel and subbed (with notifications). Your narration and research is top notch… thanks for all you do. If I may ask an odd question, are you related to Edward, whose channel is Behind Criminal Minds? Both of your voices are extremely similar, so I am just curious. Perhaps the similarities between the voices are due to a geographic area, but the inflections and the resemblance is uncanny. Thanks very much.
I am not related, but interesting observation! Thank you for the support!
@@TerrorTwin Thank you for your reply. Knowing now that there isn’t any relation between y’all, I’m guessing it’s likely a geographic ‘accent’. Regardless, you both have excellent narration voices. I’m very much enjoying your channel. Thanks again for satisfying my curiosity. Have a great week.
7:58: CORRECTION: “ manged to see his tent at 14k METERS……you mean FEET!!!! There are 3Ft in one meter so that would make his altitude 42K FEET - IMPOSSIBLE! Rule of thumb always multiply by three whenever using feet in altitude or depth.
Climbing without a climbing partner at your first attempt? I don't like that idea.
It's very dangerous and I might die, so yeah here I go!!
7.54 14 000 meters?
The holes in the swiss cheese lining up quickly here....
Mount St. Helens.
He climbed it himself 🙄
What did he expect
Did he have fun???
Yes
Seems most issues are arrogance and not being prepared
54000ft?
They said he was a very good mountaineer
lol don't be silly! Meters.
Almost 3 McKinleys.
How about just go for a neighborhood hike? Like, why do u have to go to the extreme? Did u just open up a new life insurance policy?
that is really difficult to understand. just like surfing in shark infested waters.
@pauliusgecas472 I would say it's more like cave scuba diving. But I do agree, it's not something that can be easily understood. The thrill, sense of accomplishment, near death experience. Or end up dead.
Should put up sign like those water caves.
"STOP! Go back where u came from. Nothing here worth dying for"
The narrator repeatedly confuses meters with feet. For example, at 5:16, he says, "There would be nobody past the 14,000 meter mark." Well, I would certainly hope not, given that 14,000 meters would put someone at the height of 45,921 feet -- or roughly 16,000 feet higher than Everest! And again at 5:31, the narrator refers to Kahiltan Glacier Base Camp being "at 7,200 meters." That would be an altitude of 23,622 feet, more than 3,000 feet higher than Denali itself, the summit of which is 20,310 feet!
This kind of inexcusable sloppiness with regard to obvious details makes one question whether ANYTHING in this video can be trusted!
You accidentally switched feet and metres several times narrating.
Mount McKinley
Wrong. The name was officially changed to Denali, the native name for the mountain, in 2015.
Mount Denali
@@kmacksbAnother stupid thing Obama did, just to call it an accolade. I’ll always call it McKinley.
yirishman85 Of course. Colonial, cult mindset.
@@miapdx503 sure. Have you climbed it?
You said he averaged 700,000 meters of altitude in winter, and 200,000 meters of altitude in summer. The total was then 900,000 meters of altitude, per year. The word "altitude", means the vertical distance above sea level. If you climb up a vertical ladder 10 meters, then you have increased your altitude by 10 meters. So, altitude means vertical distance. 900,000 meters divided by 365 days per year, equals 2,466 meters. He therefore averaged climbing vertically, 2,466 meters, or 8,090 feet, every single day of the year. I guess there are people who would believe that!! 🥹 😅 😂 🤣
He obviously means feet. And that took you far too many words to get to your point.
@@QuiltedZero12
In the video he uses "meters" eight times, and he uses "feet" four times, so how is it obvious? 😅 He pinned a comment in which he said, "I made a mistake at 7:58 stating Meters when it should have been Feet." If he "obviously means" "700,000 feet", and "200,000 feet", then why didn't he also indicate those two mistakes? 😂 It took me far too many words? Who says, the great you? 😂 And even if he did mean feet, then Matthias would still have to average climbing vertically, 2,466 feet, every single day of the year. That is 17,261 vertical feet per week, 52 weeks consecutively. Let me know when someone can do that. 😂 Since you are apparently an expert on elevation, tell me what the elevation change is for Mt. Everest from bottom to top. 🤣 Finally, it's much easier to criticize than to create, right "ThatOne21"?! 😀
@danbaron2561 Wow, you really are taking it to whole deeper level than it needs to be. Relax dude, it's not that big of a deal.
@@QuiltedZero12
If "it's not that big of a deal", then why have you commented about it, twice? 🥹 And of course, you did not address anything I said to you. 🤣 You were wrong, but you are not going to admit that, are you? 🥹 Instead, you continue to criticize me, in an attempt to be in control, correct "dude"? 😂 Now I realize, that you are the decider of what should be said. 😅 And thank you for the counseling, Doctor "ThatOne21". 😅 😂 🤣
@danbaron2561 I enjoy this guy's content and I found your condescending comments unnecessary and rude. I'm not going to address the details because that's silly. It's obvious it can't be done in meters I just dont need to go on a long winded rant about it. So again, it is a mistake he made and not that big of a deal. Calm down, this channel probably isn't for you. You probably need something more advanced 🤣🤣
I hope he didn't have a family. Very selfish if he did.
It's *Mount Mckinley.* You're welcome.
Nah, it’s Denali. You’re welcome! 🥰
@@RightsForZombies You must be hitting the fire water
It’s both. English and indigenous
It was Denali before white people ever saw it. The need to claim and rename everything is a colonial mindset. Racism really.
@@miapdx503 I agree, Racist AF to change the name from Mckinley.
