I am in awe of this young man! Never have I seen such motivation and resilience. Nor have I seen such amazing scenery or scary exposure to cliff edges. His grasp of the English language is amazing too!!!
I came across your channel by accident and got hooked, its very enjoyable and inspiring....not that I'll be having a go...I'm 67 with physical limitations and my best is behind me so I'll just enjoy watching you.
Thank you for sharing your story.I have had cancer twice. I can honestly say that all we can truly do is keep on keeping on and look for joy in every day things. Holding you in thought and prayer. Being g stubborn also helps. This is another gorgeous video. Thank you.
Yes. It’s official. You are nuts. You are the same age as my son and he gets his kicks doing quantum physics. Me and his mom sleep at night all the better for knowing this. You might have a bad back, but you have guts of steel.
Nothing can stop the champ! I'm watching this video with my morning coffee as my newborn is (finally) asleep! No better way to start the morning than with a video from the legend of the Alps! Love from 🇰🇷!
I enjoy your videos so much. The fact that there is no music, only the sound of nature is great. Also, your accent, your calming energy and amazing English tops it off. I was in your neck of the woods last week. Visited Slovenia for the first time and stayed in Kranjska Gora 🏔️ Great mountains, landscape and friendly people. So happy you’re back with videos.
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! 😊 Ohhh I’m glad to hear you had a great time! Where are you from? :) And sorry for the late reply. Have been very busy the past few weeks, and I couldn’t reply to all of the comments at once 😅
I just came across your channel. I am 65 years old and have been a long time outdoors man. I was stationed near Nuremberg (West) Germany Sept.78-81 with the US Army. I snow ski and hiked in the Alps of Southern Germany and Austria when I was stationed there. Your videos bring back so many memories!! Stay safe and God Bless.... Tom L Buffalo, NY USA
Wow the scenery was magnificent. You’re such an inspiration to anyone that has health issues, you just keep going, but you’ve got a long life ahead of you so please take care, spending more time on the farm would not be so bad. Love your videos.
Youre as nimble as a mountain goat , i cant believe how easy you make walking along those narrow ridges look and hats off to yoiu for not letting your back oain defeat you.
"Keep moving forward, as long as you're moving, you're improving, and once you stop, then you're basically dead already." Words to live by! Samo jako dalje Andraž, svi koji nisu osjetili neko ozljedu ili bol i onda prešli mentalno preko toga, neznaju što je zaista ljudska snaga. Pozz iz HR 💪
This vlog has been quite inspiring to say the least. To know that you've had to overcome so many health issues and still indulge in your passion is very inspiring.
I am so glad You are on your feet again. I think Your moving story is something what many should hear. I wish You best of luck, be safe, be well and stay strong. Have a great night or day.
Thank you my friend! I hope this story reaches as many people as it can, to hopefully inspire those who might be dealing with something similar or even worse. There is always a way out 🙏 Kind regards to you too!
this is the type of video you come back to when times get tough and you need a reminder to persevere thank you so much man im so grateful i found your channel
I am going through rehab for my knees right now and it has definitely gotten to me like you talked about in the video. I am feeling more motivated now thank you for sharing your experience.
Don’t worry brother, everything happens for a reason! This is just one of life’s many challenges that define a person, and you will overcome it, as long as you’re willing to put in the work and time :) In one of my next videos I will also share a bit more information about my rehab process, so I hope you will be able to learn something that might help you as well 😊
You are a role model, thank you for sharing your story, so glad for your comeback! Love your videos, walk on the ridge was so beautiful, but even just watching made me feel my fear of heights. Wish you the best!
I'm recovering right now from a sprained wrist. I've been out for a few months. Seems like forever. I climb, Rollerblade, and hike. It kills me to not be outside, but the bodies gotta heal, 4sure. I also work a laborer intensive job and understand the back problems. Lesson to learn: Don't let work get in the way, no matter what. This means rest/ rehab longer, listen to your body, and never give up hope. That's all we have in the face of danger. I love your videos, man. Keep the solo act. I, too, love the solo feel.
You are amazing in spirit, courage, inspiration and appreciation of life. You rock! Thank you so much for sharing with us what your journey has been as you climb those mountains in every aspect of your life. A shining star to us all.
I am so impressed with your videos! You have an amazing outlook. How you climb, talk and film with one hand is amazing!! I look forward to each of your videos.
Andraž ozdravi čim prije i nastavi nam objavljivati svoje zanimljive videee kojima ljudima daješ inspiraciju za nove avanture! Život je takav, ponekad se spuštamo , ponekad penjemo, ponekad padnemo, al se dižemo svaki puta! Nadam se da će regabilitacija dati rezultate i da ćemo te gledati još mnogo puta... Lijep pozdrav iz Zagreba! Drži se!
Thank you my fellow neighbour! 🙏 Very well said! “It’s not about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward” 🙌 Kind regards from 🇸🇮
Great video man. I have had multiple shoulder injuries and surgeries that forced me to put my life on hold. Nothing sucks more than having to stop what you love and sit on the sidelines. The mental struggle is always more difficult than the physical one. Stay strong!
Such an inspirational young man. I have become engrossed by your videos and your story. Despite this video giving me some dizziness as you walked along the ridge line, I couldn't turn off the video as I was intrigued to hear the journey of you dealing with your back complaints. From someone 1000's of miles away in Australia, may I just say you have inspired me and touched my heart.
Glad to see you back Andraz! You may not have had the best genes for alpinism but you certainly have a strong mind to reflect and continue your journey. Keep up the adventurous life! 🏞
O ... si nazaj? Lepo in upam, da si se zadosti porihtal 👏... prosim, pazi nase, Andraž. Mlad si še. Ne uniči si telesa. Vsekakor pa sem vesel, da si nazaj! Dobrodošel in želim ti še veliko lepih vzponov 👍. Jaz grem v torek za tri dni v Julijce ;)
I have never seen anyone climb over peaks like you did. I never saw the mountains from that point of view. You walked over them like you were walking on flat surfaces. Very commendable. Not even out of breath. I am curious to know where you learned English. Your English is perfect. The only other climber I've watched repeatedly if Foresty Forest in Canada. Good luck with your continued recovery. Jane, Philadelphia
Great video. Want to say many things, the mountains there in Slovenia are truly beautiful, I'm amazed by your ability to do such climbs, and the perspective you've shared here is very poignant and thoughtful. Truly, sometimes people get a bit cliche when talking about challenges or life, but your thoughts were very well put together and meaningful.
Well Andraz not great to hear all the issues you have but you are hitting them head on and good to hear you are well into your rehab and feeling much better and long may it continue, another great video some of these ridges were a bit scarey and the views are just spectacular, oh and the cold river dip at the end would concentrate the mind. Good luck going forward.

Wow! Just watched this video. I’m impressed with your tenacity. Actually, watching you climb down from the rocky ledges was heart thrilling and especially for a guy recovering from back treatment. I really enjoy your videos.
Andraz, I wish there was something I could do to help you. I feel so bad that you have so many physical disabilities. I'm not trying to sound like pity or sympathy; I'm just a very empathic person, so when I hear of someone hurting, I hurt. I'll send prayers and healing vibes your way. 🪄 I really enjoy watching your videos, and you're definitely an inspiration to endure the pain to do all the physical things you love to do. You have a very positive way of thinking, and that's awesome! Please keep making the videos because I definitely enjoy watching them. You got this! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤝🏻🫶🏻💪🏻
Andraz, you have a great will to defeat any medical problem. It is the most important resource, the will. I encourage you to go ahead. You are really young and you have all your life to live it. Medical care improve day by day. Show us all the experiences that we would like do. Congratulations for so magníficient video. An old mountaineer.
Dobrodošel nazaj ! Sam sem mel hudo poškodbo kolena, 2 mesca nisem smel stopit na nogo. Če si navajen konstantno migat potem je zlo hudo. Sm vesel, da si nazaj v hribih ! Jaz sem okreval kar dolgo pa še zdej ni tako, kot je blo. Verjetno nikol ne bo ampak sej se vsega navadiš. Samo vztrajaj, itak si pravi kerlc ! Zelo lep video in greben. Uživaj in srečno !
Najlepša hvala! 😊 Ja res je, ni hujšega kakor nemočno ležati na postelji… Me veseli slišat da si okreval! Mogoče ni koleno nazaj na 100%, ampak naj ti bo izziv da probaš spravit procent čim višje :) Če je 100% popravljivost nedosegljiva je pa mogoče vsaj 98% popravljivost v tvojem dosegu :) V naslednjem videu bom delil nekaj mojih nasvetov kar se tiče rehabilitacije. Mogoče ti pa kakšna informacija prav pride :) Srečno tudi tebi!
That was a truly inspiring monologue Andraz! I'm going to make my teenage sons watch and listen! I tore my ACL 3 years ago ( in a freak ski incident ) so I can appreciate some of the challenges and physio you've been through. Just subscribed and already hugely enjoyed 3 of your videos. I know the Scottish Highlands like you know the Julian Alps but now I live in Zagreb and looking forward to spending time in your playground over the next few years. Onward and upward!
You've really sucked me in. I really enjoy your videos. You're right that ridge is like life. Ups and downs. I can only imagine your back pain. My wife has similar issues, and it affects her every day. Thank you for sharing this.
soooo happy to see you in back at it🙌🤗 this is one of your best videos, you should know you are so inspiring most of the people would give up immediately but you show the world what dedication, strength and will is. Also the mental part is tough as you said, but you're doing so good nothing can stop you. Keep living your dreams (with stretching of course so you can keep on moving😉)
Thank you so much! 🙏 I really appreciate all the support on each step of my journey ❤️ If my story can inspire and change at least one persons life… then all of the efforts are payed off 😊
Soo good to see you "back on track". I can easily imagine the joy you are feeling now. After accidents I have in longer rehab periods been forced to abandon my sport, paragliding. But always managed a comeback, like you have. Well done!
Thank you my friend! I wish you plenty more paragliding flights! Stay safe and well 🙏 And sorry for the late reply. I’ve been very busy the past couple of weeks, so I couldn’t reply to all comments at once 😅
One of the best videos so far! Cant wait to see more summer content, I'm heading to the French alps soon so you'll be my inspiration when i get there :)
Thank you very much! I also can’t wait for some more summer climbing! Got plenty of plans, so it’s definitely gonna be a blast 😀 Good luck on your trip 🙌. I hope the weather stays on your side 😊 Enjoy brother!
glad you’re back and feeling better ! i always watch your videos while eating or before going to bed, had to start rewatching some but i’m happy the uploads are back
Great Video Anraz, so inspiring I was diagnosed with Degenerative Scoliosis at age 60 now. Have to keep it flexible with Pilates, so seeing you mountain climbing is a great motivator. I have had day's with not being able to walk and even then with difficulty with a walking stick. So for you to be doing what your doing is a fantastic achievement and very brave also 👍
Andraz, it is great to see you back in the mountains! Thanks fot this video, it is very inspirational as well as humble and honest, in a personal way. I appreciate that a lot (and I think I am not the only one here!). Fingers crossed for your rehab journey onwards. You've already achieved a lot and with your approach and determination, the road is all open for you. Stay safe, be careful and be mindful of your body. We will all look forward to your next adventures!
I have to close my eyes when you 'Skip' along the peaks like a goat,, especially with that camara angle. You are accomplished and we are amazed. We could all learn a little about the stretches you do for your back so please share.
Tako iskreno in ganljivo si razložil situacijo glede tvojih zdravstvenih problemov da sem bila čisto ganjena. Tvoj pozitivizem in optimizem ti stoji ob strani. Si kljub svoji mladosti preprosto nekaj posebnega. Ostani tak uživamo ob gledanju tvojih prispevkov. Varen korak in zdravja ti želim 👍🤗
Hey! Great to see you back ! I am really glad to see you are doing well in your journey. Lots of change but it’s clear you are very proactive which makes all the difference. A beautiful hike and a great listen, thank you for sharing with us. Moving is improving for sure! ❤
I also learned to listen to my body a little bit late (in my 30s) but I'm glad I do now. I realized if I want to continue to do the things I want, I need to listen to what my body says. By the way, I've been on a binge watch of your videos after discovering your channel this week. Thank you for sharing and take care, Andraz!
man iv been looking alot at your videos lately and i must say i reaally appreciate your videos! =D its been so exiting to see al your adventures, i wish i can go on top of one of these mountains in slovenia one day, spend a night in a beauvac and just experience the incredible views! im so impressed with the conditioning you must have to be able to walk that fast up these mountains its kind of incredible actually. I have made it my evening routine now to eat home made pizza and watch one of your videos and its so nice, in a small way it feels like im there with you =) thanks for sharing your adventures man! much appreciated! best regards from sweden!
Stories like that are inspiring, when people despite their injuries/health problem still do what they love and what they can. I had similar situation with back problem in the past. During my high school age I felt pain when I was sitting straight or not, my neck also was in pain, I wasn’t able to have my neck straight without pain. Everyone told me same thing as to you ‘’you are too young to have problems with back, its not needed to go to the doctor’’, I went to the doctor anyway. It was great decision because I found out I had many back problems, scheuermann disease too. It’s from genetics what I was told, also it was occurring when I was kid so I didn’t know about it then. You can’t heal it but people from rehab etc told me I can live with it well if I do specific exercises. My neck wasn’t ok either, the bones there aren’t in angle as they should, that’s why I felt pain. Since then I’ve been doing exercises for this regularly, like 3 times per week for like 10~ years now xD Later when I got more into climbing and other things like more physical activity I always was focusing on warming up, conditioning muscles/joints for specific activities, stretching etc. I found out how to listen to my body, I have more problems with different parts of the body but I learnt how to work with that and how to be active and not make anything worse. Now I can sit straight for long times and I don’t have any back pain, my most problems are knees, more than back. I want to train parkour, some people could argue I can’t do it but I read and saw many stories about people who overcome knee problems and jump. I believe I will be training parkour, now I enjoy climbing and hiking because it doesn’t affect my knees as badly. Btw what’s the bug spray you are using? Amazing hike you made, it’s amazing to have so much experience and endurance, I would be afraid to being lost or not make the route on time. Much more experience to gain.
Thank you for telling your story! It was a pleasure to read it! 🙏 Your life story is very inspiring as well! At a young age you were already faced with so much adversity, but you managed to overcome it, and do the things that would seem impossible for most people with such problems. That’s why I believe you can also overcome your knee problems, because when there is a will, there is a way! Maybe you can’t be the best parkour guy in the world, but you can try to become the best version of yourself that you can achieve with the body you were given! Play it smart, and I’m sure you will succeed! The insect spray is from a Swiss brand called Just. And sorry for the late reply. I’ve been very busy the past two weeks, so I couldn’t reply to all comments at once 😅
As always - simply amazing, your video format is wonderful and you are in inspirational person living in truly spectacular country......gotta sLOVEnia! 💓
Hi. Without boring you with my own story - much longer than yours in every way and I am 67 now - I had/have all your problems, at your age, and faced the same 'Continue behaving like I am indestructible (my kids still believe I am!) and fall apart, or DO something, make some changes, take some action'. Squashed discs, scoliosis, stiff everywhere, and I met the right person at the right time, or rather, intime to prevent further decline. Then I found yoga - not the fluffy woo-woo type, but Iyengar yoga, tough stuff - and despite setbacks that I could have found depressing, I can honestly say it probably saved my life, no kidding. Call it 'Stretching Plus'. It never replaced my desire to climb hills, but it made my passion for the outdoors more do-able, more sustainable. Chickens HAVE come home to roost however. Arthritis big time, chronic fatigue, weight gain I can't shift. But at least I made it to my 60s with a little ability remaining, while I thought it was all over at 30. Just keep battling on, Andraz, seize the day, the weeks and years ahead! Do it while you can as no one can tell the future...
Found your channel quite by accident and immediatly subscribed. In this video, watching you running those ridges, and hopping along beside those precipitous drops had my heart in my throat and my balls trying to retreat back into my body. It's all so unlike where I live, which is mainly low rolling tree covered hills. Maybe the GoPro makes the dizzying heights and sharp dropoffs look more dangerous than they are, but I have my doubts about that. One loose rock or misplaced step could mean disaster. But you seem sure footed and like you know what you're doing. The scenery you show is spectacular and amazing wherever you turn the camera. Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous country and adventures with us.
this guy perfected holding the cam in one hand and climbing
I found myself saying, "dude, put the camera down"! I could never!
I am in awe of this young man! Never have I seen such motivation and resilience. Nor have I seen such amazing scenery or scary exposure to cliff edges.
His grasp of the English language is amazing too!!!
@@mickyp3357 Thank you so much!
It means a lot to hear that 🙏😊
I thought the exact same thing.
I came across your channel by accident and got hooked, its very enjoyable and inspiring....not that I'll be having a go...I'm 67 with physical limitations and my best is behind me so I'll just enjoy watching you.
@gorlestondoug me too at 66...but I do love being present with him
That ridge line caused me so much anxiety. Spectacular, but also scary as hell. Please be safe!
Welcome back! I wish you best of luck with rehab, you have the right attitude, just keep going. It was great to see you climb again!Enjoy
Thank you so much!
I really appreciate all the kind words ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story.I have had cancer twice. I can honestly say that all we can truly do is keep on keeping on and look for joy in every day things.
Holding you in thought and prayer.
Being g stubborn also helps.
This is another gorgeous video. Thank you.
The wisdom you speak-have already in your young life is amazingly surreal. May God continue to bless you with all the positivity you teach to others.
@@patmash Thank you for all the kind words and wishes! 🫶

Yes. It’s official. You are nuts. You are the same age as my son and he gets his kicks doing quantum physics. Me and his mom sleep at night all the better for knowing this. You might have a bad back, but you have guts of steel.
Nothing can stop the champ! I'm watching this video with my morning coffee as my newborn is (finally) asleep! No better way to start the morning than with a video from the legend of the Alps! Love from 🇰🇷!

Andraz, cheers from the argentinean Patagonia. Great video, great inner process. Enjoy & be safe.
Holy heck my heart is pumping just watching this! Even Alex Honnold wouldn't do this!
I’m glad you took the time to address your injury and take care of yourself! It’s nice to see a new video from you.🙂
Thank you my friend! 🙏
Great job Andraz!!! What fantastic views thanks for taking us on this amazing climb!!! You are part mountain goat!! )

Excellent attitude towards life, Andraz. Thanks for sharing.

Andraz, I wish there was something I could do to help you. I feel so bad that you have so many physical disabilities. I'm not trying to sound like pity or sympathy; I'm just a very empathic person, so when I hear of someone hurting, I hurt. I'll send prayers and healing vibes your way. 🪄 I really enjoy watching your videos, and you're definitely an inspiration to endure the pain to do all the physical things you love to do. You have a very positive way of thinking, and that's awesome! Please keep making the videos because I definitely enjoy watching them. You got this! 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤝🏻🫶🏻💪🏻
Andraz, you have a great will to defeat any medical problem. It is the most important resource, the will. I encourage you to go ahead. You are really young and you have all your life to live it. Medical care improve day by day. Show us all the experiences that we would like do. Congratulations for so magníficient video. An old mountaineer.
Thank you my friend!
I really appreciate your kind message 🙏😊
All the best to you!
Dobrodošel nazaj !
Sam sem mel hudo poškodbo kolena, 2 mesca nisem smel stopit na nogo. Če si navajen konstantno migat potem je zlo hudo. Sm vesel, da si nazaj v hribih !
Jaz sem okreval kar dolgo pa še zdej ni tako, kot je blo. Verjetno nikol ne bo ampak sej se vsega navadiš.
Samo vztrajaj, itak si pravi kerlc !
Zelo lep video in greben.
Uživaj in srečno !
Najlepša hvala! 😊
Ja res je, ni hujšega kakor nemočno ležati na postelji…
Me veseli slišat da si okreval! Mogoče ni koleno nazaj na 100%, ampak naj ti bo izziv da probaš spravit procent čim višje :)
Če je 100% popravljivost nedosegljiva je pa mogoče vsaj 98% popravljivost v tvojem dosegu :)
V naslednjem videu bom delil nekaj mojih nasvetov kar se tiče rehabilitacije. Mogoče ti pa kakšna informacija prav pride :)
Srečno tudi tebi!
I have an erniated disc, so I quite know how it feels like. You're experience is so motivational, keepit up 💪
Thank you! 🙏
You’ve got this brotha! Make sure to let me know once you fully heal :)
I’ll remember you 😀
That was a truly inspiring monologue Andraz! I'm going to make my teenage sons watch and listen! I tore my ACL 3 years ago ( in a freak ski incident ) so I can appreciate some of the challenges and physio you've been through. Just subscribed and already hugely enjoyed 3 of your videos. I know the Scottish Highlands like you know the Julian Alps but now I live in Zagreb and looking forward to spending time in your playground over the next few years. Onward and upward!
You've really sucked me in. I really enjoy your videos. You're right that ridge is like life. Ups and downs.
I can only imagine your back pain. My wife has similar issues, and it affects her every day.
Thank you for sharing this.
Kudos bro! came from a nice climbing Saturday to find out you're back at it
Thank you very much brother! 🙏
Keep on climbin! 💪
soooo happy to see you in back at it🙌🤗 this is one of your best videos, you should know you are so inspiring most of the people would give up immediately but you show the world what dedication, strength and will is. Also the mental part is tough as you said, but you're doing so good nothing can stop you. Keep living your dreams (with stretching of course so you can keep on moving😉)
Thank you so much! 🙏
I really appreciate all the support on each step of my journey ❤️
If my story can inspire and change at least one persons life… then all of the efforts are payed off 😊
Soo good to see you "back on track". I can easily imagine the joy you are feeling now. After accidents I have in longer rehab periods been forced to abandon my sport, paragliding. But always managed a comeback, like you have. Well done!
Thank you my friend!
I wish you plenty more paragliding flights!
Stay safe and well 🙏
And sorry for the late reply. I’ve been very busy the past couple of weeks, so I couldn’t reply to all comments at once 😅
One of the best videos so far! Cant wait to see more summer content, I'm heading to the French alps soon so you'll be my inspiration when i get there :)
Thank you very much!
I also can’t wait for some more summer climbing! Got plenty of plans, so it’s definitely gonna be a blast 😀
Good luck on your trip 🙌. I hope the weather stays on your side 😊
Enjoy brother!
Fascinating story Andraz, another great video, wonderful scenery..😊😊
glad you’re back and feeling better ! i always watch your videos while eating or before going to bed, had to start rewatching some but i’m happy the uploads are back
Thank you for the constant support! Much much appreciated ❤️
Dude you won't believe how glad I was to see your video pop up my feed... Made my entire day. Welcome back!!! 🔥🎉❤️
Thank you so much!
It means a lot to hear that 🥹❤️
Great Video Anraz, so inspiring I was diagnosed with Degenerative Scoliosis at age 60 now. Have to keep it flexible with Pilates, so seeing you mountain climbing is a great motivator. I have had day's with not being able to walk and even then with difficulty with a walking stick. So for you to be doing what your doing is a fantastic achievement and very brave also 👍
Andraz, it is great to see you back in the mountains! Thanks fot this video, it is very inspirational as well as humble and honest, in a personal way. I appreciate that a lot (and I think I am not the only one here!). Fingers crossed for your rehab journey onwards. You've already achieved a lot and with your approach and determination, the road is all open for you. Stay safe, be careful and be mindful of your body. We will all look forward to your next adventures!
Thank you brother, for all the kind thoughts and wishes! ❤️
Sending kind regards and all the best to you from 🇸🇮
I have to close my eyes when you 'Skip' along the peaks like a goat,, especially with that camara angle. You are accomplished and we are amazed.
We could all learn a little about the stretches you do for your back so please share.
Broooo you are the strongest ❤
Thank you! Much love to you too my friend 🙏❤️
I admire your bravery. I will be praying for you. I also have scoliosis. Greetings from Canada.
Tako iskreno in ganljivo si razložil situacijo glede tvojih zdravstvenih problemov da sem bila čisto ganjena. Tvoj pozitivizem in optimizem ti stoji ob strani. Si kljub svoji mladosti preprosto nekaj posebnega. Ostani tak uživamo ob gledanju tvojih prispevkov. Varen korak in zdravja ti želim 👍🤗
Wonderful story! Onward, and upward!
Very happy to see you back and taking your injury seriously. I hope you can stay healthy and share with us your inspiring adventures!
Thank you!
This is just the beginning, it will only go up from here 🙏😊
Nice having you back man! I totally feel you, rock this body with your great spirit and move forward!
Thank you my friend! Will do 🙏
Hi Andraz,
very happy with your return, and to see you in great shape, good continuity
Thank you brother! 🙏🙌
we love these videos because of you, please remember that :)
glad to see you are doing better
Thank you froggy! ❤️
I really appreciate that 🥹
Hey! Great to see you back ! I am really glad to see you are doing well in your journey. Lots of change but it’s clear you are very proactive which makes all the difference. A beautiful hike and a great listen, thank you for sharing with us. Moving is improving for sure! ❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️
I wish you a wonderful week :)
Absolutely fantastic to see you back in the mountains!
Much much appreciated! 😊
I also learned to listen to my body a little bit late (in my 30s) but I'm glad I do now. I realized if I want to continue to do the things I want, I need to listen to what my body says. By the way, I've been on a binge watch of your videos after discovering your channel this week. Thank you for sharing and take care, Andraz!
Welcome back, your my inspiration!
Much much appreciated! ❤️
So good to see you back skipping along ridges like its a stroll in the park!
🏔️🙏😊
man iv been looking alot at your videos lately and i must say i reaally appreciate your videos! =D its been so exiting to see al your adventures, i wish i can go on top of one of these mountains in slovenia one day, spend a night in a beauvac and just experience the incredible views! im so impressed with the conditioning you must have to be able to walk that fast up these mountains its kind of incredible actually.
I have made it my evening routine now to eat home made pizza and watch one of your videos and its so nice, in a small way it feels like im there with you =) thanks for sharing your adventures man! much appreciated! best regards from sweden!
Stories like that are inspiring, when people despite their injuries/health problem still do what they love and what they can.
I had similar situation with back problem in the past. During my high school age I felt pain when I was sitting straight or not, my neck also was in pain, I wasn’t able to have my neck straight without pain. Everyone told me same thing as to you ‘’you are too young to have problems with back, its not needed to go to the doctor’’, I went to the doctor anyway. It was great decision because I found out I had many back problems, scheuermann disease too. It’s from genetics what I was told, also it was occurring when I was kid so I didn’t know about it then. You can’t heal it but people from rehab etc told me I can live with it well if I do specific exercises. My neck wasn’t ok either, the bones there aren’t in angle as they should, that’s why I felt pain.
Since then I’ve been doing exercises for this regularly, like 3 times per week for like 10~ years now xD Later when I got more into climbing and other things like more physical activity I always was focusing on warming up, conditioning muscles/joints for specific activities, stretching etc. I found out how to listen to my body, I have more problems with different parts of the body but I learnt how to work with that and how to be active and not make anything worse.
Now I can sit straight for long times and I don’t have any back pain, my most problems are knees, more than back. I want to train parkour, some people could argue I can’t do it but I read and saw many stories about people who overcome knee problems and jump. I believe I will be training parkour, now I enjoy climbing and hiking because it doesn’t affect my knees as badly.
Btw what’s the bug spray you are using? Amazing hike you made, it’s amazing to have so much experience and endurance, I would be afraid to being lost or not make the route on time. Much more experience to gain.
Thank you for telling your story! It was a pleasure to read it! 🙏
Your life story is very inspiring as well!
At a young age you were already faced with so much adversity, but you managed to overcome it, and do the things that would seem impossible for most people with such problems.
That’s why I believe you can also overcome your knee problems, because when there is a will, there is a way!
Maybe you can’t be the best parkour guy in the world, but you can try to become the best version of yourself that you can achieve with the body you were given!
Play it smart, and I’m sure you will succeed!
The insect spray is from a Swiss brand called Just.
And sorry for the late reply. I’ve been very busy the past two weeks, so I couldn’t reply to all comments at once 😅
Let's gooo, he's baaack!
Finally!! 🥹🙌
good to have you back on the riges! stay healthy and safe
Thank you! 🙏 all the best to you too!
As always - simply amazing, your video format is wonderful and you are in inspirational person living in truly spectacular country......gotta sLOVEnia! 💓
Thanks so much brother 😊
Kind regards from 🇸🇮
Hi. Without boring you with my own story - much longer than yours in every way and I am 67 now - I had/have all your problems, at your age, and faced the same 'Continue behaving like I am indestructible (my kids still believe I am!) and fall apart, or DO something, make some changes, take some action'. Squashed discs, scoliosis, stiff everywhere, and I met the right person at the right time, or rather, intime to prevent further decline. Then I found yoga - not the fluffy woo-woo type, but Iyengar yoga, tough stuff - and despite setbacks that I could have found depressing, I can honestly say it probably saved my life, no kidding. Call it 'Stretching Plus'. It never replaced my desire to climb hills, but it made my passion for the outdoors more do-able, more sustainable. Chickens HAVE come home to roost however. Arthritis big time, chronic fatigue, weight gain I can't shift. But at least I made it to my 60s with a little ability remaining, while I thought it was all over at 30. Just keep battling on, Andraz, seize the day, the weeks and years ahead! Do it while you can as no one can tell the future...
You are an inspiration! I wish you all the best for your future.
Much much appreciated 🙏
I wish you all the best!
Found your channel quite by accident and immediatly subscribed. In this video, watching you running those ridges, and hopping along beside those precipitous drops had my heart in my throat and my balls trying to retreat back into my body. It's all so unlike where I live, which is mainly low rolling tree covered hills. Maybe the GoPro makes the dizzying heights and sharp dropoffs look more dangerous than they are, but I have my doubts about that. One loose rock or misplaced step could mean disaster. But you seem sure footed and like you know what you're doing. The scenery you show is spectacular and amazing wherever you turn the camera. Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous country and adventures with us.
Good to have you back! I know it’s taken a lot of work to get here. Hope the improvement continues.
Thank you my friend! 🙏😊
yeah boy! been waiting for you! nice to see you back :)
Yeeehaw! Thank you my friend 🙏😀
Thank you for taking us
Welcome back! Great video as always
Thank you!! 🙏😊
I too suffer from lower back pain and am an avid mountain biker. I totally feel you on this video. Another awesome climb!
