Slovak Direct, Denali - Houseman/Bullock
At the end of June this year Nick Bullock and myself were fortunate enough to be able to make a rare ascent (6th overall) of the Slovak Direct on the nearly 3000m South Face of Denali 6194m in Alaska.
The four days we spent on the route gave us some of the most intense and committed but rewarding climbing either of us have done in the mountains.

    Fantastic video and great choice of music (rare for outdoor videos). The handheld and not (or less) postprocessed footage gives such a better impression of the climb than drone shots and interrupted by deep statements of how "climbing changed my life". Only would have wished footage of the descent :)

    Just come across this. Brilliant video and documenting of an epic adventure. Saw some clips from it a few years back when I went to see Nick do a talk at Kendal Fest, cheers for sharing publicly! I’m off climbing now…

    Excellent video…. but i have some questions, those were scarpa 6000 ?? enough for denali ? I always read on internet that denali is very cold… and my other question is about gaiters, how do you keep snow out of your boot without then ????

    • @TheSubieFan
      @TheSubieFan 2 года назад

      The boots have built in gaiters. As far as cold is concerned im not sure I think the activity level is different than the regular route and also 6000m boots should be pretty okay.

    It's been 9 years and I still find this video the most inspiring mountaineering clip ever hands down. Sadly, I'm stuck on a flat tropical island and will have to wait till covid restrictions are lifted before I can head into the mountains again. Keep climbing everyone! Stay safe in the hills and far away from covid.

    Awesome footage and great climbing. We did a first ascent variation and first alpine style ascent of the NW Buttress twenty years ago last month so it was cool seeing all that familiar scenery.
