They Used To Have Climbers On The Matterhorn At Disneyland
Disneyland Matterhorn climbers, 1959
This I did not know until just a minute ago
"The Matterhorn mountain climbers would begin their first accent in 1959. The climbers would typically scaled the mountain in groups of 3 and were even given names by the company, Hans, Otto, and Fritz! Climbers were required to wear bright red Lederhosen and had to climb the mountain several times throughout each day.
A bigger wall climbs difficulty is measured on a scale from roughly 5.5- 5.15, with 5.5 being incredibly easy, and 5.15 being so difficult that only a handful of climbers in the world can send them. Before getting the job, Disney’s rock climbers are required to prove their efficiency on routes 5.9 or harder. There are many different routes to take up the Matterhorn Mountain, all of which range between 5.7 to 5.10. The biggest requirement of any Disney rock climber is DO NOT FALL. Even though they are clipped in, the smallest slip can terrify the park guests below! "

"After a long hiatus the climbers would make their return for a limited time in 2012 in order to christen the newly renovated Matterhorn. Although the climbers have yet to return to the mountain since 2012"
But they do climb for events and special occasions
