    I remember climbing Whiteman Falls, and it was letting out some massive booms echoing in its canyon, as we did so. Frightening!

    Cool! I was always amazed how much steeper the ice appears while on the sharp end compared to belaying below.

    Yes, I install my ATC backwards for a smoother rap.
    I clip the extra biner on the strand I have to pull when I will come to the next belay - like this I can not forget the strand which is to pull.

    The chockstone at the top of Shooting Star looks massive! I might have to go up there and have a closer look at it one day soon. Way to get out there after the big routes you guys.

    I clip the biner on the strand I have to pull when I will come to the next belay - like this I can not forget the strand which is to pull - works for multi pitch rock climbing in the same way.

    I used the new Batura 2.0 from La Sportiva.
    Batura 2.0 worked for me perfect - even with temperatures of -30° Celsius.

    Obviously I wasn't there, but what's up with those big high steps? I was on cauliflower yesterday and found myself using steps much higher than I wanted to. I'm curious about your technique and looking to up my game.
    Ausgezeichnet Vid!

    Fantastic stuff guys. Amazing locations! One of the best 'climbers-eye-view' videos I've seen.
    Quick question...at 11:35 you're clipping a biner between the strands when rapping. What's this for?
    (I'm just a rock climber, never done any ice)

  • @someonesmitico
    @someonesmitico 11 лет назад

    Just before the 12 minute mark I see that you've extended you're rapel, but have the device installed backwards. Is this just for a smoother rap and so it doesn't bite as much? Also, what was the extra biner you clipped onto the lines above your atc for?

    @YouSirAreNoob 10 лет назад +1

    This was really cool, I've always wanted to get into it but I know it is a huge investment of time and more importantly money. I've also always wondered how you get the equipment back? the carabiners and ice screws you place as you ascend, do you just unscrew them as you descend? If so, isn't that a bit dangerous?

    • @peterjoy9743
      @peterjoy9743 10 лет назад

      You can drill two intersecting holes in the ice with the screws they place, and thread cord through the holes as an anchor at the top of the climb, so all you have to leave behind is $6 worth of cord and a carabiner. You take out all the other gear on your way down.

    • @rasmus6818
      @rasmus6818 10 лет назад +1

      Peter Joy Why would you leave behind a carabiner ? No need for that, the cord alone is enough, and only costs $1 at the most. Also, you usually climb with 2 people, and the person seconding takes out the gear on the way up, not down.

    • @JohnHAdams-vo2pk
      @JohnHAdams-vo2pk 9 лет назад +2

      +Peter Joy No you don't take out the gear on the way down, in multi-pitch, the second takes the gear on the way up upto the next belay station. And then you either switch leads or give the gear to your first. Then abseil/rappel down via a v-thread (as you said). No need to leave behind a carabiner.

    • @petrufka
      @petrufka 7 лет назад

      Or you thread your chord through the whole made by two intersecting screw wholes and tap off that...
      Or rap it around a pillar. Or leave a screw. What's $60 for a lifetime.of.memories?
