Ridgeline 5: Gee Atherton heats up the abyss again in Switzerland
For the fifth episode of the Ridgeline series, Atherton climbed the 3630-metre-high Altels near Kandersteg and rode down a seemingly endless slab of rock at breakneck speed. In the Bernese Oberland, he rode along the narrow Brienzergrat ridge - a place where you work up a sweat just hiking. He also showed off his skills in various rocky places in the region around Engelberg, although a little local advice would have made the mission easier. He spent a total of eight days on the trail with his crew and covered a good 9,000 meters of altitude.
Gee Atherton is the 2008 and 2014 downhill world champion and creator of the spectacular Ridgeline series, in which he aims to ride the most beautiful ridges possible and explore and push the boundaries of mountain biking.
