Lorsque l'on est suspendu sur une parois à pic, et qu'une envie pressante survient, j'imagine que pour faire caca l'on ne redescend pas, donc, l'on fait caca en altitude, et suspendu par une corde, quelle spectacle cela doit être. Conclusion, ces montagne que l'on croit immaculée, sont en fait, les plus grand chiottes du monde... ^^ D'ailleurs, mieux être le premier de corder, l'on s'en doute... x))
Le couloir d' aujourd'hui! Complètement différent de l'état de 40 années avant! En comparaison, c'était presque une promenade! Respect pour l'escalade dans les plaques lisses avec les crampons.
When I was just child, I saw pictures of skiers on the Swiss Alps and always thought some day I would go there. Long after I learned to ski, I did go to Chamonix to ski, it was as breath-taking as I remembered it as a child and later when I read about Heidi! Beautiful country!
Sometimes music adds to a video. Other times, it's just a great experience without it. The lack of soundtrack really complements this solo adventure. Great video!
Yea that sounded super thin. 😫You do see the leader move off a piece of pro in the ice a few seconds later though. Must be enough depth to drive a screw in in some places. Alpinism is a pipe dream for me, scares the shit out of me
they are climbing on what is called twin ropes you need 2 it is safer and more flexible(rappelling, if a rope gets damaged etc.) the trailing rope is just the extra climbing rope hanging below the belayer. think climber and belayer 10m (30ft) apart but the rope is 50m (150ft) long this is the excess. The slack is because most of this climbing is easy for these guys (not easy but easy for them) so the slack gives you room to move and risk of falling is low. It is a comfort thing. Hope that helps
To be fair, i think many of these ropes are just fixed/ equipping the route, as you can see them leaving a section behind after they both finished the pitch after that
Chouette video. A un moment j'ai cru que c'était une pub pour le réchaud ;-) ! Je suppose que choisir de grimper le rocher non en escalade mais en dry tooling (=crampons et piolet sur du rocher) c'est pour éviter de déchausser les crampons et ranger les piolets : perte de temps et d'énergie, risque de faire tomber quelque chose.
Belles images du petit matin avant l'attaque. L'ascension des grimpeurs est un vrai régal. Pourquoi 111 pouces en bas ??? Merci ! Continuez à nous faire rêver !
Alright @ that point, no more ice uh put on the climbing "Mickey Mouse" rubber shoes or something, that rock isn't really meant for crampons and ice-pics.........
It's because most of the time they climbed simultaneously, so lead climber didn't make belay stations. It's much faster, but also pretty dangerous in case of fall 😅 I think that's the reason.
THIS I WANNA DO SOMEDAY ! ALSO SEE IS THERE A WAY BENEATH THE GLACIER ! MY FRIEND WANTED TO CLIMB THE FROZEN WATERFALLS FROM THE VALLEY TO THE DRU LOW GROUND WITH ME . karree-fülll !
