Two hosts ride the cable car up Aiguille du Midi to 3,842 meters on Mont Blanc, where it's 2°C in August. They navigate the needle-shaped peak, react to the void attraction, and search for their friend Sasha to give her a small elephant trinket.
So what are we doing? Something hitchhikers do.
Going up a massive cable car.
And why are we going up a massive cable car?
Because I made friends with a hitchhiker.
And we're trying to find who?
Her best friend.
Cool.
Sasha. So I can give a little trinket to her, which is a little elephant like this big with bells.
You see the little trinket? So that's the trinket, little trinket that we're going to give to Sasha. We don't know what she looks like.
I do, I've seen pictures.
Oh, okay.
I've seen 2 pictures.
All right, we will find Sasha. What does she look like? Hair, what color?
Female, black hair. Hair, last time I saw it, I don't know how old Pinterest.
So yeah, we're just climbing. We're climbing over a side. You okay?
You know, like when a cat climbs up a tree and then it realizes that it can't get down, and you realize that the branches move when they shouldn't.
Meow.
Deep breaths.
Oh my Lord, just— oh my Lord. You are just trying to go further back. Go further back, he said. Just hang on a bit. Go further back. It's a drop. So we are at the top, well nearly halfway up Mont Blanc, and this is 3,842 meters, um, and it's pretty high and it's quite cold even though it's August. It's like 2 degrees, but it is so pretty. It's quite beautiful. And there's like a panoramic cable car thing that goes all the way to the top, or nearly all the way to the top. And, um, yeah, I'm going to show you down the mountain. Babe, you've got to see this. That's that column they're talking about. That's that column, look. Oh, look, we're climbing.
Look. Oh wow.
The guy's at the top of it. Oh my God, yeah. Oh, you've got a good LOL moment going on too. Hang on, a LOL moment.
We've got to get this flip right. Oh jeez.
Are we ready? So L'Oréal, because we're worth it. I missed you. L'Oréal. I missed you. Because you're worth it.
Sunrise!
And not just any sunrise, but sunrise over Mont Blanc, which quite frankly is just stunning. Back to the void. You know I said there wasn't really a drop from the void.
Sad.
Um, nobody panic. Okay, don't mind us, we're just gonna climb down some rickety old stairs. Going down is almost so much worse. Oh, that's just so cool. You all right? Meow. That's where we were. How diddy they look! That's the glacier again. That's the shadow of Mont Blanc. See, this is— oh, this is the needle. So at midday, the sun is directly above this point of this mountain. That's why it's called the Aiguille du Midi. It's the needle of midday.
That's what it is.
Okay. Oh my God! Let me take picture with you. Ah, perfect. Okay. Do you want me to come in with you? If you want. Right?
Because that's not terrifying.
She looks like Sarah Parker. Wait, do you want your flip-flops off? There's tracks, look, people have gone up. Look! And then there's— Look how tall they are! There's people there, they've climbed up or they're coming back down. It's, um, 3,842 meters to 3,777 meters. Enjoy that? That was the best bit.
It was impressive. It was very impressive.
I'm glad that you're impressed by Big Mouth. It was really cool. What about the void? Did we enjoy the void?
That was terrifying at first.
Rocky mountain path. Please don't fall to your death. Although think of the YouTube count. Yeah, don't mind us, we're just walking up Mont Blanc. Hey guys, we're hiking on Mont Blanc. Are we like hardened climbers now? Do we need to carry rope? Hi, Jade!
It's actually a really nice, like, chill-out spot. Like, it's just— it's perfect.
Jade's Rock. So this is Jade, who is fast asleep up my vlog. Did we have a nice sleep? Is the rot nice? Jade the mountain goat, or spider pig, is going to descend The mountain. Okay, that was anticlimactic. I was expecting like a fall or a slip or something dramatic.
Or a backflip.
Just a backflip, yeah.
He just stands and just goes—
