Outstanding video well done Abbi.Get up and get out what a quote from an inspirational person .RIP to the man who’s dream ended in such a tragic accident.🙏❤️☮️
I was very anaemic years ago Abby. I felt worn out and I started to get pains in my chest on effort.Ended up in the intensive care ward, they thought I had a heart attack but it was due to severe anaemia, due to undiagnosed coeliac condition. Hope you have it sorted at this stage. Love your videos.
"WOW" indeed Abbi. Well done girl, that was one helluva video you just posted. I've subbed to your channel for the last few years, so i've witnessed your challenges, not just in the terrain, but emotionally also. This was pure inspiration to anyone cursed with similar self doubt and anxiety. Keep taking one step at a time & all the very best for 2024.
Abbie I love how fluent and descriptive your narration is. I have done the TMB wide and have the WHR booked for this summer so you have given me the belief that i could possibly consider Mont Blanc itself. I love your enthusiasm and the pleasure you get from the nature. Keep it up !!!
i love the way you said we cant never conquer any mountain, we are just visitor and enjoy our journey and have our own story. That's such a beautiful way to look at mountaineering and life in general! i feel relieved!
Wow wow wow! on this splendid video. I was in Chamonix in June 2023 and experienced altitude sickness. Thanks for sharing your experience, strength and hope one step at a time.
Stunning! I remember watching your ALIVE: Tour du Mont Blanc video and it feels full circle to watch you on your journey to the centre of it. You encapsulate what being in the outdoors is about, as my old PhD supervisor said to me during coffee once ' Its not about the destination, it about the journey' and I hope you hold onto that forever because so many forget and become a slave to the endpoint.
1:00:00 - I do believe you get it, it's why we walk not crawl, why we climb not walk, why we mountaineer not just climb. It's about pushing, becoming better, becoming excellent, finding your perfection. Great work Abbie, welcome and embrace the grace of the high mountains.
Powerful and stirring video Abbie.... the pushing through anxiety and self doubt will inspire many it certainly helps me! God rest the man who passed on and prayers for his family..... thanks for sharing your adventures with us!!
That was amazing. My heart was in my mouth at some of those sheer drops !!!!! Insane journey. You must be so flipping chuffed with yourself !!! This has been an amazing video. And while I'm at home on the green hikes ,...thanks for doing this for us. Love love. Love it. Back to my neighbourhood walks and my winter photo a day now. You did amazing. Well done
Congratulations to you Abbie, and to the group!! Thank you for taking us along. I know the courage it must have taken. Not just your personal challenges, but pushing yourself to go at the pace of everyone else. I struggle going out with groups. With my physical challenges, I constantly worry about holding others back. Terrible source of anxiety for me. I think it's why I prefer to solo hike. Of course on trips like this; for safety reasons, you have to become part of a team.
Welldone Abbie, fantastic achievement. Tremendous content, hopefully one day I may find myself there, great insight from your story on this trip... trip back down though 🫣 such a shame... 🙏
So good to see these mountains! This summer I have been on vaccation to Italy. Climbed to Refugio Emanuel Vittoria and Refugio Chabod to the base of the Gran Paradiso. Later that week I've been at Aiguille du Midi at 3842 meter, netxt to the Mont Blanc. So I've not been exactly where you have been but I've seen where you have been. It was amazing to be there and is was amazing to see you there. Bringing back memories. Pure nature, that's what it is. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Fantastic film Abbie in awe of your bravery and determination, you make these adventures so enjoyable and accessible to people who can only dream of doing them. Congratulations on your two mountain climbs and look forward to your next adventure 😁😊
The exact same thing happened to me when I did Mont Blanc in the mid 90s. We did it over 5 days from Montenvers at the top of the Mer de Glace. We had to spend a night in the Vallot refuge as a storm blew over later that day. I did it with my brother which afforded us more flexibility than having to follow the tight schedule of an established guide. When we went down the Gouter way, a man got caught in the "dégueuloir" as the French call it and got killed just as we were approaching the couloir. Very sad. One of the reasons we went up via the 3 Mont Blanc was also to avoid the couloir more times than was necessary. I have since climbed everywhere like in the Himalayas where I did Baruntse, Mera and many other so-called trekking peaks. Can't wait to go there again next year. Thanks for the video Abbie.
Just ‘WOW’ this was amazing to watch….. love how you keep it so real, sharing the highs n the lows! You’re such an amazing human being…..Thanku for sharing this with us…..❤️
Wow, Abbie! What an amazing adventure! I loved your deep soliloquies in this one. So insightful and inspiring. Thank you for taking us along on this journey. I won't say never, but I'm fairly sure I will not make this one. You are very brave!
So inspiring Abbie. Such an achievement climbing all that way but filming it as well and not hiding any of your reservations or fears. Super impressed and well done! I really enjoy your videos and presenting style, so warm and friendly. Best videos on RUclips ☺️
Thank you Abbie. A very enjoyable watch. I’m glad you pushed through and went for it. What an amazing journey. I’m so sorry to hear about the hiker who died, very tragic. As unpleasant as it was, it’s the reality and people should be aware of that. Snowdon can be just has hazardous. Thanks ☺️
Wow. I remember the 1st vlog i watched of yours, the Ben Nevis one. The struggle you had with mental health. You truly are an amazing, inspirational person. This was amazing as are you thank you Abbie
I just want to say thank you for letting us see the mountains, and not putting your head all the time in front of the mountain. I really appreciate it!!! 🙏
I’m in awe. So beautiful, and so beautifully filmed. I felt almost like I’d done it with you. I watched alone, but may have exclaimed “Wow!” almost as many times as you did. Well done - the trek and the film! You’ve inspired me to go find something in my stretch zone.
Just wanted to say, first video of yours I’ve seen and loved it. I can’t wait to watch your other work. You’ve also inspired me to take my children hiking more. Thank you
What an epic film about an epic adventure ❤ Thanks so much for sharing your journey and for the insight into the me tal challenges and how you overcame them. Truly inspiring 🙌
Wonderful video Abbie!! Truely something special. My sister Yasmin got me to watch it as shes big into hiking and I love me some beautiful nature you inspire me to get out more and see the beauty of the world!
Another awesome documentary Abbie - a perfect mixture of challenge, excitement and reflection... all with some of the world's best scenery as a backdrop. Unmissable!
This, to me, was your most impressive achievement and video. Truly amazing how you summoned the courage to face those really dangerous sections of the climb--my heart was in my throat on your behalf. ;-)
Thank you, Abbie, you beautiful human being. I really appreciated your honesty regarding the self-doubt and other struggles you faced here - when people don’t talk about these things it just perpetuates a cycle of unrealistic comparison, so its refreshing to hear. Congratulations on your journey with this one, physically and emotionally. You should be VERY proud of yourself ❤
That's exactly why I do talk. To some it seems whiney or annoying, but I'm so aware of the stereotypes out there and how actually, many folks feel the same! So by using my voice I hope to help folks know they are not alone or weird for feeling things. Just human and beautiful 🥰
So Epic!Congratulation’s Abbie you did it !!!So brave and courageous !!!Thank You so much for sharing made my Christmas week special and enjoyable indeed from the warmth of my comfy bed 🛌!!! Merry Christmas 🎄 Abbie to you and your Loved 🥰 Ones and Happy New year of new Adventures!!!
Many, many thanks for your videos and all the effort you put into them. They really helped me prepare for the TMB, Laugavegur and most recently summiting Mont Blanc. Keep on going!
That speech you made when out in the morning for some fresh air was quite important for me. Something in what you said about us doing what we love and sharing it with the world just because essentially… is that the message? Sounded like something I needed to hear as been trying to make sense of why I am doing what I am doing. Thank you and if you can expand on that May be somewhere I would love to watch and listen
There are defo times in life where we can become detached from ourselves. Never mind what we DO. It's who we ARE that counts. Just BE you. And give yourself to the world. It's your gift and it is ours to know you. One step at a time ❤️
Great video Abbie. I enjoyed watching it. Congratulations for your achievements. I’ve watched several of your Lakeland videos prior to doing the walks myself. Thank you for uploading them!
Great video, thank you for sharing :)
Awesome Abbie, love your videos!

@@AbbieBarnesWILD I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much for sharing this epic experience Abbie! Would love to hear a bit more about how you trained for it and what made you pick Mont Blanc?
Abbie I love how fluent and descriptive your narration is. I have done the TMB wide and have the WHR booked for this summer so you have given me the belief that i could possibly consider Mont Blanc itself. I love your enthusiasm and the pleasure you get from the nature. Keep it up !!!
