@@TakinNamez0421 haha I do not remember commenting about this 3 years ago. And no I didn’t do it in the snow with no gear. I did do it in January when it was cold and it started to rain with no gloves so my hands could have slipped and my hands were frozen. Still worth it!
I’ve hiked this twice. Both times in summer. There is absolutely no way I would ever hike this in snow, ice, or rain. It’s not smart. You’re asking to fall off.
@@spellboundsx5098 are u dumb. Let people play russian roulette too if they want. There's systematic risk and unsystematic risk. Doing this in the winter is the latter and extremely dangerous
No poles, ice axe, crampons, micro spikes, hiking boots, grippy gloves, or shoes that even have spikes in it, can’t wait to see you guys in a compilation of what not to do
Actually no crampons and ice axe would be pointless and dangerous... Crampons are for hard ice/snow.. Here we see snow and rock.. Crampons on rock are dangerous.. Inner step spikes are what's needed.. Next an ice axe is for aiding pulling and support in deep packed icy snow or ice.. They also serve to act as an arrester on steep packed slopes.. Here we have neither and no ice axe will stop you on a vertical fall like the drops here..
How do you know if you're lucky to be alive? Maybe you missed a car accident by 0.3 seconds and don't know it. They got it done, they have skills you don't have.
I have no idea how you got down the section you were going up at 7:05. Super steep, completely snow covered, and cliffed out right at the bottom of that area. Sketchy doesn't even begin to describe descending that section. Glad you made it. Stay safe out there!
Ive got sweaty palms watching this. I made it to about 20 mins past scouts look out and couldnt go any further, im not good with heights so i take that as a victory
The best adventurers know their limits. If you are ill prepared (like these doofuses) or arent sure footed or you are feeling really nervous (like you were feeling), you must turn around. You did the right thing and should be so proud of how far you went as well as your decision to go back.
I did this last week. I got almost all the way to the top and a snow storm was too much. I've deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan 6 times and haven't come close to the amount of fear I had because of the snow and ice.
Damn! I don't even like going down my front steps in the winter alone on a cliff edge trail with snow. I'm going to Zion in late Sept. and still not doing this hike, lol.
Wouldn't have been that hard to make this safer. Microspikes, rock climbing harness, and a couple of rock climbing and anchors and carabiners - you clip in as you go along (only unclip first anchor from one section after you clip the second anchor to the next section). Bare minimum you could buy a few meters of rock climbing rope, and just two carabiners and that would work (you can make a harness out of just rope). I think if you can go hiking in zion you can probably afford this bit a gear that would last several years. You might not mind the risk so much, but it's so inconsiderate to the people who love you and might be crushed by your death or life changing injury. Also there are people who would have to go out there and recover a mangled dead body - not nice stuff. Glad you guys were okay and I bet you're safer these days
You guys are the type I expect to see on Rusty West's RUclips channel about people that disappear on public lands. I hope you've developed some sanity and common sense since you posted this video.
I had to go check that out. I’d love to make a parody video of that guy’s videos! “A search party of 500 people searched the over 250 million square acres of the park. They didn’t find SHIT!” 😂

😂 yeah my sister was getting anxiety.. said she would have nightmares just thinking about it 😂. One of my favorite videos. I can’t stop sharing . This is what being young is about 😊
Ridiculously unprepared for this hike and unnecessary risks taken. With proper planning, gear and awareness Angels Landing is a safe hike with 0.0001% chance of fatality. Your odds were not in your favor. Lucky day for ya’ll and some likes on RUclips
Yep been there done that. Went up Shark Tooth in NZ on a whim. No experience or kit and nearly fell a few times. Pride can keep you going further up which just compounds the risk. As people here say, if your not ready, stay off till you are.
I was curious if there was any downfall....climbing footage of the event or if ya'll just slid to an untimely death. Truly the stupidest thing I have witnessed in the outdoor world. Nothing short of Angels preserved you. Part of big, epic adventure is style, grace, skill and mix of humility and chutzpah, none were on display here. You live and you learn is the hope of every parent. Edit to add: Comment made by Scott Smith, didn't note I was signed in under my more gracious and kind wifes name.
Wow bruh, totally cool that you did the hike with snow and ice in famous footwear, lol! Where are you from? So Cal? I'm 64 , did this hike last month and know almost every step. After watching this I'm amazed more people haven't fallen to their death! Glad the park service is now restricting the number of people hiking this trail.
Insane man one wrong step away from death, Do you have a video of the return hike? did it start to get dark on the way back? as everyone says you all are luck to be alive many people die there
And here all this time I thought icy rock and snow would be dangerous as hell without crampons with a thousand foot drop only two feet away on either side of a "slip". Peer pressure is a hell of a drug.
Did this last month. Less snow on trail. Most people who went to the top were with shoe spikes. I met a guy who is even less prepared than you guys with flat bottom sneakers. Without him I probably just gave up :)
I hope you guys don't hike like this often, it takes literally one unlucky millisecond mistake. Just a simple research on people that died on hikes would reveal what is wrong in this video. Nonetheless it is informational of what not to do.
Walking that hike in the snow and ice is asking for big trouble, it's already pretty dangerous, you add in snow, ice, or rain and top it off with a gazillion chipmunks crawling up your legs and you'd be lucky to make it down. Lol.
Guys, this video is awesome and you guys are amazing! However please do not take your chances being unprepared anymore. I know you are young and brave and you may be lucky many times until it ends… Last year a great mountaineer , hiker, skier , hike/ ski instructor Kacper Tekieli who btw was very experienced and prepared ( from Poland) died during winter hike in Switzerland while on holidays with his wife and 1 y old son. He was prepared and experienced and very advanced like a top of the best and still died… now think if you are not prepared… don’t take those chances so you can enjoy many more amazing adventures and share with us your great videos !
And this is why they close trails. No spikes which would be the minimum. When I see people doing stuff like this I usually turn around. Do not want to watch someone die because the lack of basic gear.
I’m happy you all made it back but as everyone has said not having the proper gear for the weather and terrain can be deadly. Yours hands must have been mighty cold on those chains.
I have no problem with people doing this as long as it’s not people I love. And as long as they don’t call for help if something goes wrong. Risking your own life is one thing, risking others because of your stupidity or naivety is another.
I climbed that on a nice day when I was in my mid sixties. It was magnificent. I’ll add my comments to the others. You gotta be the three dumbest people I’ve ever seen make a video of doing something dangerous. Glad no rescue personnel had to risk their own safety trying to save you. I feel sad when I read about someone dying there. It would’ve been so unnecessary if you had.
Just another example of why they send young men to war. They just can't figure out some things are dangerous. 1:49 is just on the edge of being someone that has no brains what so ever. Nor do they think of others.
How about 6:28 also. That part made me cringe with anxiety. And if the guy on top went they could all have been going down. 1:49 was definitely a near miss too. The entire video their lives were hanging by a thread.
@@carsonjohnson2039 you guys have the freedom to be stupid. You are proving the fact that the part of a young persons brain that recognizes risk does not sully develop until about age 30.
It seems blasphemous to me. But then, I think the prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed on teens, so they can't really contemplate how insane this is. Still, I find it disrespectful to nature and yet awesome at how they were permitted to live in spite of themselves. Shows the mercy of the Creator not to have condemned them to death for this foolish act. Fortunate for them they did not see one of their friends die through their mutual egging on. Youth! Hope their moms and dads did not see this video. In spite of their foolishness, I am glad they made it. At least this far. Please think of your dear parents and do not cause them anxiety through such unfilial acts and blaspheme Nature no more. You can still enjoy life and experience amazing things without such craziness. I know, preachy, but you can't say I am wrong.
I don't get it, even with good conditions, why, I mean if you get a dizzy spell or chain snaps, I'm an adrenaline guy but one wrong step, experienced people fall and anyone can walk up there?
A comma in the title would have been helpful. We're you saying that angels were landing near a person dying or were you saying that you experienced a near death situation where you saw angels coming near?
I'm so angry they don't close this trail in bad weather. Its bad enough during perfect weather. That was stupid!!!! One slip and all of your lives change forever. Not worth it.
Do some people just not get vertigo? If I looked down from those heights, I'd get dizzy and my hands would start sweating profusely and there's no way I'd be able to keep going. Congrats on making it out of this alive. That's a story I'll never be able to tell. Hopefully this is your last attempt at a Darwin Award though lol
I honestly do, but seeing the responses about people saying it's not as difficult as it seems makes me want to try. I've never hiked in my life before. Maybe I could try easy ones first.
@@MrBunny53 Where are people saying it's not as difficult as it seems? Are we commenting on the same video? Lol. I have hiked before, and I would never try this one. I get vertigo way too bad, and I don't know if I could work my way up to a hike like this.
I almost couldn't finish watching this video. I hope they made it down ok. Descending a climb like that would be much harder I think. Up or down, either way looks like a death wish.
no mountaineer would go without equipment...they would also say when you reach the top youre only half way there....now you have to get back down...hope they made it...
No crampons, no ice axes, no climbing gear (like the ability to clip into the chains, no rope or gear to belay each other) shoes that are little more than sneakers, bet there there was no warm gear in case you got stranded by injury or weather...and probably no rescue beacon or headlamps to aid in a rescue.

Still, I find it disrespectful to nature and yet awesome at how they were permitted to live in spite of themselves. Shows the mercy of the Creator not to have condemned them to death for this foolish act. Fortunate for them they did not see one of their friends die through their mutual egging on. Youth! Hope their moms and dads did not see this video. In spite of their foolishness, I am glad they made it. At least this far. Please think of your dear parents and do not cause them anxiety through such unfilial acts and blaspheme Nature no more. You can still enjoy life and experience amazing things without such craziness. I know, preachy, but you can't say I am wrong.
Well said!!
I don't get it, even with good conditions, why, I mean if you get a dizzy spell or chain snaps, I'm an adrenaline guy but one wrong step, experienced people fall and anyone can walk up there?
Let’s go hike one of the most dangerous hikes in Utah in the summertime alone, but let’s hike it in the winter when there’s snow and ice! 👍🏻
Shiniest chain I have ever seen.
Getting back down is going to be the scary part
Nothing like tempting fate for a good adrenaline rush. Is there a video of your return?
No unfortunately the GoPro died on the way down, but not us!!
Terrifying.
A comma in the title would have been helpful. We're you saying that angels were landing near a person dying or were you saying that you experienced a near death situation where you saw angels coming near?
I'm so angry they don't close this trail in bad weather. Its bad enough during perfect weather. That was stupid!!!! One slip and all of your lives change forever. Not worth it.
No crampons in the snow is absolutely dumb!
Not even wearing spikes. Beyond stupid.
How was it coming down?
Why? Seriously. Why? Not enough risks in suburbia?
Do some people just not get vertigo? If I looked down from those heights, I'd get dizzy and my hands would start sweating profusely and there's no way I'd be able to keep going.
Congrats on making it out of this alive. That's a story I'll never be able to tell. Hopefully this is your last attempt at a Darwin Award though lol
I honestly do, but seeing the responses about people saying it's not as difficult as it seems makes me want to try. I've never hiked in my life before. Maybe I could try easy ones first.
@@MrBunny53 Where are people saying it's not as difficult as it seems? Are we commenting on the same video? Lol. I have hiked before, and I would never try this one. I get vertigo way too bad, and I don't know if I could work my way up to a hike like this.
I would not do this without an ice axe, clampons, and safety harnesses. Or dont do this when there is ice on the ground.
I almost couldn't finish watching this video. I hope they made it down ok. Descending a climb like that would be much harder I think. Up or down, either way looks like a death wish.
no mountaineer would go without equipment...they would also say when you reach the top youre only half way there....now you have to get back down...hope they made it...
We made it luckily!
