The cloud inversion and encounters with ibex and chamois added a touch of epic to the adventure. 🌬🦌 The summit cross was a symbol of your triumph, and I'm glad safety was your priority. Kudos to both of you for an unforgettable expedition! Looking forward to more jaw-dropping experiences from GENeration Xplorers! 🌟

    WOW! I’ve been awaiting this all bloody week. You’ve definitely not disappointed me, this was one truly great film. I’m sitting in my hovel of a dreary flat feeling the cold and damp, naturally being a very poor pensioner I can’t afford any heating but this film certainly warmed me up. Some amazing views and cloud inversions, you are most certainly two very lucky people to be able to head out into such beautiful mountain scenery. Your films get more FIVE STAR ratings than any others. Yes this is another FIVE STAR FILM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well done Nick & Jill your true professionals. ❤️

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  11 месяцев назад +2

      thank you so much Mike, if its any relief we are sat here in our very cold and somewhat damp flat counting the minutes we can have 1250w on in one room to keep us mildly unfrozen! 😂😂 its not long, by our calculations a small space would cost 36p an hour to be just mildly lukewarm. my budget would be blown with that one heater in several hours…
      not a great state of affairs!
      thank you so much for great comment though. we do love the Alps and bizarrely they are cheaper, inconceivably than spending similar time in our lovely Lake District.
      that was the best cloud inversion we have ever seen. rated EE for the most part (exposure/scrambling), a tiny part at the end was EEA (kit recommended).
      all well within your capabilities ♥️

    Ah well…
    I really enjoyed this one. What a hike with those amazing mountain views. Looked like tough going in places. That mountain goat wasn’t impressed with Jilly’s singing! 😂 Those bear growls were a bit scary on the way down eek! 🐻

      Thanks Rachel, we did see and reply to your earlier comment, how strange! I will have a search for it! Not sure where Jilly gets all that energy from to sing, very lovely though, although im not sure the chamois agrees! Im a huge fan of bears but in the pitch black after an exhausting hike not so much, i was very happy when i was back in the car with the doors closed! 😂

    Wow. Were you dancing and singing the whole way up the mountain? I think you probably were. Ha ha. Too bad Jill did not make it all the way, but definitely better safe than sorry. I have turned back many times on hikes. Amazing hike, and the cloud layer going back down was spectacular. Bear growl, pretty cool. The goats also very cool to see.

    Am I jealous ? YES most definitely. Wow this is amazing from beginning to end . I kept thinking "This can't get any better" but it did time and time again. The first sighting of the mountain was pretty awsome and looked to me a distant dream. 3 1/2 hours ... no chance haha ... but hey you went for it. You experienced it all ... Rocky steps, severe edges, flies, blistering sun .... ROPES !!! unappreciating chamois haha You guys are incredibly adventurous, I'm so in awe. What's this a signpost on a mountain ? haha no gate of the week though haha Well done Jill , I admire you for taking the tough decision not to go on, very wise. Loved the "Lets spin you round" at the top. These are I'm sure the most incredible scenes I've seen from a mountain hike ... you're giving me itcy feet haha I loved all the views all the way up but those cloud inversions have a special place in my heart and my absolute dream to see when out hiking. I'm struggling for words to describe the scene. Favourite shot was of Jill silhouetted against the clouds 😍. So pleased you made it down ok and the bear didn't get ya. Well done in the time too ... 8563 ft is some massive mountain. Jealous, Jealous Jealous but love to see your adventures 😍

    Ah guys here in Welsh we would say... ardderchog ! ( excellent!) That was a fantastic place and what beautiful weather. The ascent was gorgeous, apart from not much shade and the horrible flies I can imagine 😯 Beautiful cloud inversions, big drops and wonderful views. You captured that goat perching on the edge so well. Funny to see snow up there but nice you had some wind. Well done Nick for getting to the summit, loved the cross up there and Gill you did well to get so far, its always safety first and descending a steep mountain is what scares me more than ascending too. Took a long time to get up but what an achievement , the alps are big ! The views from the summit were fabulous and you had gorgeous sunset views coming down, good thing you had the torch ! I would be more scared of the jumping frogs than bears 🤭 Loved that ~ Anna 👍❤️

And the last bit with the ferrata looked pretty eerie so I can understand why Jill didn't push on. That sunset above the the clouds on the way down was pretty epic❤❤.

I loved seeing the climb and the descent and I'm very glad your video didn't become a 'Nick and Jill's Close Encounter With a Bear' vlog at its conclusion. I would have been absolutely bricking it. Looks like a very special place and what an exhilarating feeling to be on top of the world looking down on creation, as Jill's song put it (used to sing that in primary school lol). I loved this video, wonderful setting, beautiful shots and a really clear sense of the challenges of climbing this particular mountain and the need to take that challenge very seriously if attempted.

    Wow that was some climb, some climb indeed and when you first saw the actual peak - what a beast! To be fair 4 Euros for an all day park is not too bad at all, despite the sketchy drive up. I miss the summer but I sure do not miss those pesky bugs, drive me nutso and just as well you like a bit of scrambling, especially when the fun began. It looked really steep in places going up (must have been a mare going down) and I had to lol when I saw that signpost, as my addition would have read "Keep going, you are nearly half way to the top"....So pleased you did not do your back in when you did that kick next to the cross on the summit and gutted for Jill that you could not get up that last but but always safety first. The views from the top (and on the way up and down) were insane but man walking down in the dark, real pleased the car was still there and are you sure it was not your stomachs growling you heard🤔😁, great watch, cheers Alan

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  11 месяцев назад +1

      thank you so much Alan. it features on our more difficult mountain we did on this holiday but i will say it here, now, “there is something about the overwhelming nature of the Alps that makes it so inspiring”. conquered about twenty/thirty alps now and id say a good third of them were the most overwhelming mental challenge i have ever had to overcome.
      we got to this walk really late, not our fault, the directions on all GPS’s and maps were way out, the first sign, added hours to our estimate and that first reveal of the summit so close to the start had us both questioning our ability all day.
      it was a race against time and our ability to complete it..
      ..the biggest mistake we made? we didn’t pack torches. all we had was a few minutes left on an iphone torch and an untested gopro torch that in very low power mode might last half an hour.
      we got lost, thanks to GPS technology! 😱😱 we had to retrace our steps, no light.
      and then the bear growls started. i love a bear growl over anything on the planet.
      i was petrified. pitch black. no supporting light and no way to discern how close the bear might be.
      it was the fastest retreat into the car we have ever done!
      amazing day. one we will never forget ♥️

      @GENerationXplorers  11 месяцев назад

      Your absolutely right Gianni, ashamed to say all the best planning and research failed us on this one. from two satnavs failing to find the start point to Google Maps wanting to take us up a non existent road to literature saying it was only a 3 hour ascent to the summit, everything went against us. we did think long and hard about doing a small, more accessible mountain upon arrival given the time that we arrived but weighed up the pros and cons and accepted that the latter part would be done at nightfall. it’s definitely a mountain that demands respect, id hasten to point out that we ventured up in probably ideal conditions so a lot of preparation would be necessary otherwise. one additional word of caution would be that unlike most mountains in the area there is no water available on the route, you need to come with enough for the day. we took several litres but did find ourselves really struggling with adequate consumption towards the end. we’ve learnt some lessons on this one! 👍
