I always say this but scrambling downhill is much harder then uphill. I’ve gotten stuck in dangerous places on mountains and cliffs because the way up is doable and the way down is a different beast. Great video by the way. It gives me confidence in my future journeys.
then....THAN. Pick Juan.
My biggest fear point of no return
For a 61 year old who is relatively new to this sort of hill walking those tips were very helpful..
Been hill walking since I was a teenager but never attempted anything like scrambling before, I had a blood clot last year and it was a wake up call to do things while I can 😁
Good luck! And stay safe!
This was sooooo helpful by explaining in not only a demonstrative way but also in simple basic instructions.
More than helpful... all help is appreciated! I'm attempting a 14er soon!
Very helpful. Any pointers on downclimbing esp. whether back to rock or facing rock?
Very well done! Fantastically helpful!! Thank you
These were excellent tips. Everything the instructor said made sense in light of my experience.
Great video! I like that I can refer back to it! thank you!
Nicely explained. A good start. Thanks.
Hey but if I'm backpacking, how do we do this with a big back pack? Or do we leave our packs at camp or what?
I'm also curious to know what boots you're wearing! They look like mountaineering boots - La Sportiva Trango? I just recently purchased the women's Trango for both hiking and mountaineering, wanted to know your feelings on their hiking ability (are they good for trekking long distances? how do they perform on the ice?).
trango evo s gtx. perfect for scrambling, via ferrata, low grade rock climbing and classic summer mountaineering and glacier travel..and even for heavy load trekking. i own a pair since 2008. apart from the sole that is obviously burn out, they are rock solid, no signs of tear in years. now discontinued, the new model is the trango tower, that is quite the same.
what kind of boots do you have?
The person below you when you did your test "below" frantically looking around like 😵😲. 😂😂
I scramble in vibram 5 fingers, so can’t edge or wedge really, but what incredible fun they are! Would love to know your thoughts if you’ve had a go?
Nice rucksack
thanks mate
Why not recommend or require climbing helmets to protect against falling rock???
Kelly Carter sometimes rockfall isn’t expected except in exceptionally rare circumstances.
Aayush Ganesh um no. In banff Alberta, you can expect falling rock on a lot of higher altitude scrambles. Your statement of “exceptionally rare”, is “exceptionally” overstated.
@@KevAlberta We arn't referring to some niche Alberta scrambles you are overstatedly obnoxious.
Rory J Steel ohhh I see. I guess the climbing here is just more dangerous and skillful than other parts of the world considering we’re the only ones dealing with falling rock. Next time I’m out on the trail I’ll remember to let everyone know they’re climbing at the only place on earth with falling rock potential!!!(not). You dense fuck. Obviously you know nothing at all. Probably never stepped foot on a mountain... fuck outta here
Well that escalated quickly..
Tryfan?
If you need a guide to tell you how to move on a mountain, you shouldn't be on that mountain.
Utter bollocks.
If children need an instructor to teach them how to swim then they shouldn’t be in the pool. Instead they should just never learn.
@@TM-pz2ue You two are the reason why tourists get stuck and killed on mountains. You're just tourists wanting to climb mountains when you haven't even climbed your local 100 foot hill. I mean look at you, looking at guides on how to scramble (you really that thick?) and do things that come naturally if you just took the stepping stones and gradually climb peaks that are within your scope of abilities. Scrambling comes natural when you've had enough mileage conquering peaks. So yes - if you need a guide to tell you how to move on a mountain, you shouldn't be on that mountain and are a bigger danger to yourself and others.
@@ziko317 Getting help from an experienced guide is taking baby steps in a way that accelerates your progress compared to just doing it by yourself. You seem very upset about this lol, even unhinged, is everything OK? Calling people thick for watching a video that you’re also watching?
You’re also making assumptions about people you know absolutely nothing about. I personally have done exactly what you described. Been hillwalking and hiking since childhood. In the last few years I’ve done most of the well known grade 1 and 2 ridge walks and scrambles in the UK and now I want to progress and do some grade 3 stuff and easy rock climbs. Hiring a guide seems like a perfectly sensible thing to do as they can share their experience, help you with route finding and teach skills like rope work. Surely that’s a safer alternative than just going there solo and trying to figure it out myself? Calm yourself down and grow up.
@@TM-pz2ue Don't confuse guides with instructors. Two very different things. My comment still stands. If a guide has to teach you how to scramble, he's better off escorting you down the mountain and giving you a large bill as you're a danger to yourself and to him. And most guides I know do just that in those cases.
