3 OUTRAGEOUS Alpine Climbs...That EXPOSURE | Climbing Daily Ep.1664 

too right geezer!

.....meaning today's climbs are for sissys?

@@larryslemp9698 Nah, but you can't deny that modern climbing has some better equipment and other conveniences that they didn't have in the old days.

Bercilak de hautdesert Your not a coward your smart 👌🏾

@Bercilak de hautdesert when you rock climb, most of the fear goes away. For some people, it completely goes away. For ice climbers, the fear is ALWAYS there.

I’m the opposite honestly, involves the brain more, I like that

The great thing about snow and ice is you can manipulate it, you can make it do what you need in a pinch with tools. Rock makes you accept it as it is, and either succeed or fail.

@@alexbarcovsky4319 I actually think about falling a lot more on rock than I do ice. You are effectively creating jugs the entire way up the route.

Typical in the Alps.

On five

Looks like a hardshell outer with a softshell inner

The third one the alarm bells were definitely going off in my head, that was a lot of powdery snow on top that make it sketchy

Crampon skittering off the rock, hammering ever so gently into damp snow, jesus

harrowing content. truly riskin' it for the biscuit

Mark Smiley tryed it nur until now it hasnt been repeated

It's Scottish winter climbing. It doesn't have much to do with ice :).

Not as much as that camera 🎥 guy lol

Hot pockets

If one drops on one side, try to jump to the other. But as mentioned in between the lines, better don’t slip.

@@sebastian31337 That's terrifying. I'd be so scared of the rope getting cut on a flake. Or the other climber reacting too fast and jumping to the wrong side out of panic. Seems like easy climbing at least, just crazy exposure.

my guess because of snow rock isn't usually super good up there, kind of like bolting near the sea. meaning it might be safer to use your own gear than to trust bolts up there.

Because bolts lower the risk, and hense the grade/severity. Once you put in one bolt you can watch some areas become bolt ladders so best to declare an area 'bolt free'. It's also disrespectful to the original climbers of the area.

Ahh! Okay, thank you all for the explanations :-)

The general UK view is bolting ruins the purity of the route; it not only permanently damages the rock, it ruins the look of a natural area. Climbers and mountaineers are supposed to be stewards of the outdoors and not deface the rock to make a climb easier. If you aren't good enough to climb the route with removable protection, then you aren't good enough to attempt the climb and should come back when you are better. Its the same as you shouldn't climb when turf isn't frozen or when there isn't enough snow/ice on the route as you will tear up the turf; potentially killing the plants that live there, many of which are endangered and scar the rocks, damaging them and making them look terrible.

Yea but it's kinda controversial. One way of looking at it is making it "easier" with bolts, another one is making it "safer". Imho bolting belays where there is a risk of your gear ripping out is ok as it can save lives. But that's just my opinion.

Denali gets ~20 hours of sunlight in the summer, so could have as much as 5 hours more sun.

It wasn't Denali, but the Moose's Tooth. You could see Denali in one of the summit views. But he's right, Denali is 63 deg N, so nearly above the Arctic Circle, so stays light overnight. Easy to see by even if the sun officially goes down.

Not even close. I've climbed Aiguille d'Entreves, and it's low 5th class, mostly 3rd and 4th. The others are hairy.

@Pete is never wrong you're never wrong. Actually just quoting Will in the intro.

Scottish winter climbing is an acquired taste… the ridge is a popular route for sure, very accessible from the skyway on the courmayeur side

@@dailyclimbing Scottish Winter climbing seems to be as much about having a high pain tolerance and a somewhat masochistic personality combined with survival ability in terrible weather.....I'm WAY too old for that sort of thing LOL. Ah, if that ridge is the one that's really close to the skyway, then it IS the same one that I thought! Thanks for the info! :)

What?? Are you mad?
