    "Each of us loved alpinism, but also carried it as a burden." With nowhere near the experience as these guys, I still completely relate to that statement.

      Yeah alpine climbing has produced some of the most joyful and horrible moments of my life. It's definitely a love-hate relationship, but leaning towards love.

    This is the kind of content that fuels the stoke of so many ambitious young climbers out there. Beautiful videography, great commentary, splitter weather and an adventurous story. It's the kind of moving video makes you take the time to leave comment to simply say, thanks. I no doubt will watch this over and over until I am able to pick and kick my way up a climb next season.
    Bravo gents. Climb on and climb high.

    Perfect project…I love it; the perfect climb. Thank you for not over dramatizing the event…some times it’s perfect and “that” needs to be celebrated 🎉 well done all

    what a video! The beautiful simplicity is of the storytelling is artful. No manufactured drama, no over the top product placement, no bs. Paired with a script the reads like the work of HDT or Jack London, absolute masterpiece!

    Great video, guys!
    Perfectly understandable with bolts in such a serious route. And especially for the rappells over clean slabs.
    I can’t get that ski-setup out of my mind. Details, details! Wich brand and bindings are these? Looking for the same 😃

    • @Mikael_J
      @Mikael_J 2 года назад +4

      Looks like a Silvretta 404 or similar binding.

  • @jacobjdong
    @jacobjdong 2 года назад +1

    3:27 can anyone direct me on what kind of ski bindings those are? is it a version of the silvretta 404 / 500 or ramer binding or maybe newer? seems to fit automatic crampon boots..

    • @brianrodman1033

      I would suggest reaching out to one of the climbers on social media to see about getting an answer from one of them. Just in case they are using something new and really cool that has advantages over the old standbys.

  • @vaughnrodriguez2627
    @vaughnrodriguez2627 2 года назад +1

    Out of all those mountains, how do you all pick the routes? Seems like there would be millions of unexplored routes in all the world. Oh and one more question. How do u all afford over a dozen expeditions there and all the other places obviously?

  • @VandyMan84LA
    @VandyMan84LA 2 года назад +2

    It's so amazing and terrifying how there's no way to really sustain yourself if you get stranded. No food sources, only snow, no trees or visible caves or methods of heating yourself up. It's like, ski out as far as you can each day...or wait for rescue.
