Mission Across Tatra Mountain Valley Peaks 

Shiey: makes sure to pack all the things he needs to survive Also Shiey: Yeets it off a 50 m cliff

watching shiey for 4-5 years and this is one of the sketchiest videos by far

In climbing we have a saying; there's old climbers and there's bold climbers but there's no old, bold climbers.

the fact that shiey basically free-climbed all those steep cliffsides whereas people usually have years of experience attempting stuff like this.. i had about 15 mini-breakdowns throughout this video and I'm watching safely from my bed lmao. just please please be careful with mountains! They are so unbelievably unpredictable and I'm not even taking the weather into account. Love your videos tho

Seeing you climb those rocks without any sort of harness or other safety equipment was scarier than seeing you climb on top of the duga or other buildings. Great video as always! Stay safe!

For anyone interested: The trail starts at Predne Solisko (2117) 01:38, he points his finger at Strbsky Stit (2381) 01:52, then he sits at the peak of Soliskovy Hrb 02:32, panorama from left to right: Prostredne/Velke Solisko (2400) - Strbsky Stit (2381) 04:02, etc. etc. The trail runs through the peaks of Mlynicke Solisko (2301), Strbske Solisko (2302), Furkotske Solisko (2320), Male Solisko (2336), Prostredne Solisko (2400), Velke Solisko (2412). You can clearly see three different mountain lakes - Vysne Wahlenbergovo pleso (left), Okruhle Pleso (upper right) and Capie Pleso (lower right) 12:57. Bystra Lavka mountain pass (2314) with a marked tourist route leading to Capie Pleso 14:01. The ridge goes through the peaks of Furkotsky Stit (2403), Hruby Vrch (2428) 18:49 + Strbsky Stit (2381) (his "deciding point") and Hlinska Veza (2340), the two peaks which I am not sure he made it to. He is descending to the Hlinska Dolina valley (the valley on the northern side as opposed to the southern valley with the mountain lakes he filmed) 20:37 25:00 28:33. He returns back through the second valley following the marked route (Hincova Kotlina, Mengusovska Dolina) on the southern side (the different one) the next day. Male Hincovo Pleso mountain lake 29:45.

As someone who lives right next to High Tatras I can tell you you are quite lucky. In a winter or summer season helicopter comes almost every other day to pick up one or more tourists who didn't survive their "hike" or were badly injured mostly because they weren't prepared or the weather changed. Some of those drops were a little intense to watch but other than that it was really impressive. Maybe next time don't risk that much since mountains do not forgive any bad move. High Tatras aren't that big and there were 56 dead tourists just in 2022... Stay safe ;)

this video is literally 33 minutes of "famous last words" moments

This is the wildest thing you've uploaded. This is WAY more dangerous than any of the building climbs and train surfing.

I love that you don't put music over your videos. I feel like the silence, and the ambience of wherever you are is way more honest. I appreciate that kinda thing! Be safe out there bro

I hope no one tries to replicate this. This is extremely dangerous. I don't know which time of year it was filmed, but in summer weather in Tatras is quite tricky. The biggest issue here is being exposed to the lightning. If a storm would be approaching you basically have only one option and that is to rapell quickly to lower altitude. The route that he has taken is not the hardest and can be done solo. But you should have at least some mountaineering experience and proper equipment.

Some people train for months or even years and here you are rawdogging this mountain with out any real mountain gear. You are a savage 🤙🏼

Can’t help to appreciate Shiey’s way of planning and handling things. I noticed that in a lot of his videos already. He plans ahead, sets small realistic goals, re-evaluates the situation constantly, and changes/adjusts his plans depending on the circumstances and how he feels. It’s very important and no sign of weakness if you’re not sticking to your plan by any means, but instead do what seems reasonable and right for you.

Man... This was by far... the scariest adventure you just went through...I had anxiety the whole time... jeez.. congratulations on that.

"We need to test all the rocks before holding it because they can loose". 30 seconds later Shiey jumping with all his weight over a rock 😂

my anxiety always rises everytime i see him standing on the side of a cliff, that was terrifying, especially when you're not sure if the rock is going to fall or not. be safe shiey!

This guy out here doing a casual free-solo like it's nothing. Big up, massive respect!

2 Tips: 1) Downclimb backwards when it's steep, so you are facing the wall. If it's technical, dont worry about filming. 2) bring like 20 meters of very thin cord like paracord, or dyneama so you can lower your pack down instead of tossing it. Weighs a few grams, so hardly anything. Love the videos, keep getting after it!

Hi from Slovakia! High Tatras are our most dangerous and deadliest mountains, if you never expirienced them before. I am surprised you risked so much. There is so many news about unexpirienced tourists having to be saved from there every year...so many of them also die. There are set of rules, how to survive this mountains and the drastic weather and tempeture changes, that could cost you life - like always plan your trip, be prepared for any weather and start up early in the morning. You wanna be returning down, around noon. Anyways, good luck!

shiey mustve been a mountain goat in his past life. the way he gracefully conquered the peaks. wow. As someone afraid of hights and anything remotely dangerous it was very exciting to watch something i would otherwise never see in person in this life.

Pretty unexpected seeing Shiey in the Slovakia mountains 🥰

For sure the craziest thing you've done on the channel. The rocks on the mountain were sketchy as hell. That being said, this was a stunning video. You've got great instincts Shiey. Stay safe, stay free.

As a fellow slovakian i can say that this is definitly the most terrifying experience i have seen on slovakia in my life, please never do this, this takes months even years of planning and you got extremely lucky with the weather. If it were to even have a slight drizzle of rain youre screwed because all the rocks will start being wet and very moist. I have been to the tatra mountains many times but freeclimbing on them is out of thought for me, thank you for making the video but man dont do this ever again.

I come back to this video from time to time. One of the most insane journies you've had

I don't know if he is aware of it, but this is probably the most dangerous thing that has been uploaded here on the channel so far. well done and I think you are made for free climbing 💯

This channel just went from trains to mountains. A whole new altitude for the multitude. Thank you sir!

I really hope you do more stuff like this in the future shiey. I moved into the mountains a year ago and with inspiration from your videos it's changed my life just getting out there away from where others normally go. Just please remember the mountains have their own rules and they need to be respected. Always bring the proper gear for the season and when storms roll in during the summer immediately get below treeline if possible.

Amazing content man. I would warn that mountaineering like this for a long time probably requires just a little more planning. The mountains take just as quickly as they give. Stay safe brother, loved the video.

This man has absolutely no fear. The fear fears him. Huge respect!

Shiey has officially reached mountain GOAT status 🙌

It was very humble and smart to realize the other half of the mountain peaks were too much for you with your limited energy. That could have saved your life. You've grown and are growing a lot over the years, it's cool to watch. Keep it up man

Thanks Shiey, with all due respect after watching so many adventurers and urban-exploring you did... Mountains are a whole different ball-game, even for me only growing up in the Mountains never really been a climber/mountaineer myself, I know of the volatile conditions and risk of fundamental change of conditions in minutes. Up there in the Mountains, Equipment is the Key and preparedness King. Hope you found what you was looking for at that time. Wish you all the best! May Fortune favor you!

This is terrifying watching on a 65-inch TV. I feel the butterflies in my gut. Very nice video. It's great to see you again.

This new Death Stranding game is ultra realistic! Amazing as usual, Shiey!

Some serious, heavy shit must have happened to you in your early years for you to not have any kind of fear left in you. You’re an interesting character to watch, in a world that’s addicted to being afraid… Looking forward to your next adventure

i love shiey his video is just pure footage his thumnail is also just natural everything is organic and wildly pure

Just a tip: when you accidentally kicked rocks down it's often a good idea to shout "below" or "above" or anything really if you don't know if there's someone down there. It saved a friend once when we were hiking through the pyranees.

Coming from an experienced alpine Solo-Trekker: I expected a lot more rookie mistakes, to be honest. It was a good decision to abort mission halfway through. It would have been very unsafe and extremely dangerous to attempt a ridge traverse in your unrested state. Alertness and physical strength are paramount when attempting risky routes like this one, especially when one isn't experienced in alpine terrain (although your highly developed sense of balance served you excellent). Also, I can tell you from experience that if you had managed to soundly sleep for 6-7h, you likely would have been in an adequate physical condition to attempt the traverse on the second day. Good sleep makes ALL the difference. Suggestions: adjustable trekking poles are a great way to descend some tricky slopes. They can be in the way a lot of the times when you need your hands, but you can drop them a couple meters down and pick them up again. They will provide you with plenty of options to better and more safely balance yourself on the way down. Plus, hiking without poles nowadays feels for me like driving a jeep with the all-weel drive disengaged. Feels like I'm missing half of the traction that I can put on the ground if I'm not walking with my poles. Also, consider getting a Garmin InReach device and a satellite subscription, if you're planning to do more alpine solo adventures. It's like a satellite phone, but it only does sms (and weather forecasts for your exact and specific location at the time). It sends straight to the satellite, so as long as you've got an unobstructed view of the sky, you've got reception. Worldwide, no matter where you are, no matter the infrastructure (doesn't need any cell signal). This device lets you call SOS with the push of one button, in case of need. The SOS call goes to a emergency center and if you do not further respond, they will send a rescue team to your current location ASAP. For everybody that is doing possibly risky stuff in mountains or otherwise remote places, I highly recommend getting one. It just might save your life one day (or the life of anybody else that gets injured in your party/that you happen upon on the trail).

I have this terrible phobia of being on mountains that are too steep so I would have had multiple breakdowns lmao. You’re very brave!

Love your videos, I'm a little jealous but very happy for you! You clearly enjoy this so much. When you talked about how the mountains make you relaxed and you just want to get lost there for a few hours, then you cut to the majestic view. That's exactly how I feel!!

“You can see the path” Umm no.. all I see is death. Absolute zero fear. Amazing ❤

Watching shiey on action always give me a stress and a relief at the same time

I can't tell how if the camera made those drops look more trippy, or if the sides of the mountains are just that sheer. Either way; props dude. Mad respect

Tatra looks stunningly beautiful place to visit. And that spot where you slept looks like heaven. Huge respect for going alone.

He returned when we needed him the most

I'm so happy that Shiey visited the Slovak mountains! This was one of his most challenging and dangerous trips. Almost lost his phone and backpack with supplies, but he showed no fear! I was hoping to climb someday too. Stay safe.

"Rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks, rocks" *Eminem has been real quiet since Shiey dropped this sick track.* Really hiking this like you're Puss in Boots with nine lives! The way you mix the beauty of the places you visit with the problem-solving part and the enjoyment that comes from attaining goals...this kind of stuff makes some amazing videos. I loved every second of that! You rely on your gut feeling and instincts so well. It makes you human, part of nature. We often forget we are born on this earth as part of its nature and ecosystem. We forget how to listen to our body. This is such a good example of how you should rely on your gut feeling and to be honest with yourself and your goals.

Dang, what an adventure. Thanks for sharing it with us! The footage after 28:00 showing clouds flowing over mountains are amazing! Perhaps your best video...other than Chernobyl series!

this is the best action thriller I have seen for 20 years. For reference, I grew up close to the Alps in Southern Germany, so compared to a properly prepared and equipped tour what you accomplished is even crazier to me than someone who has never been on a high alpine tour. Much respect.

If the lakes you're passing by in 13:05 are the Bystra Lavka pass, and the river you are by in 21:50 is Poprad, then you weren't very far from "Rysy" which is the highest Polish Tatra peak. Greetings from Poland, mate!

damn the views in this are absolutely amazing, like something ive dreamed of! thank you for sharing this in high quality shiey. i love to see it!

I never intend to watch all the way through when I click on videos like these but I'm always so captivated that I can't help but watch all of it in awe. This is amazing

i live in canada but i am slovak and visit for months at a time every two years or so... and it was so cool seeing shiey exploring something i'm very familiar with

As a Slovakian I was so happy to see he hiked in High Tatras. Was smiling through the whole video. Love your work. Keep it up!

I was trekking Tatra mountains last weekend and thought it would be soo cool to teak from those peaks to peaks! And then I found this video where he literally lived my dream!!! 😍❣❣

I cannot overstate how gnarly this all is. You have balls of steel dude. So many massive exposures

Děkujeme za krásné a zároveň i hodně nebezpečné záběry z Tater. Mě by tam nahoru nedostaly ani párem koní... opravdu pěkné video. Přeju ti hodně štěstí na tvých dalších cestách.

Man, I adore Tatra mountains, amazing views and experience :D Greetings from Poland

Came across this by accident. Wow, very impressive and the camera work is really good, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey.

My dear comrade, thank you so much for sharing this amazing video! It is very soothing and relaxing to sit down and press play and get emerged into the experience you create and shared with is. Absolutely something I need after a long and stressful time at work. I love climbing mountains, as I've climbed our Mount Paektu many times. The Tatras are the pride of Slovakia, the mountains even have their own endemic species from the Nebria tatrica ground beetle to the Tatra chamois (a subspecies of Alpine chamois; a type of goat-antelope or caprine). We miss the days Slovakia was socialist as part of Czechoslovakia. Thank you so much for getting out there and creating something so unique. Sending much love and take care!

My anxiety was over the roof watching this, but the scenery is spectacular!🤯 Love your vids, stay safe Shiey!

Without a doubt one of the best (if not) channels on youtube. Don't think these videos will ever get old

Whenever you explore mountains, it always give me the impression that you're exploring an otherworldly, ethereally beautiful places. 1 hour or almost 2 hours watching from start to end? I always do it on this channel, only. Support and love from Philippines! Big fan of you to the point that I matching your outdoor outfits from head to toe! ❤️🥂✨

This is one of those you gotta rewatch right away type of videos, I'm living through you brotha

Slovakia is so underrated man. Also, pretty eerie video. Knowing that at any moment he was one misstep away from not uploading this video. Good thing he made proper calls and didn't push through with ego. Definitely taking some notes 😆

That part at 11:56 where his phone starts to slide off shows how important having a lifeline is always helpful.

What a trek! Great video! It's awesome to recognize a lot of the places you crossed, having been there myself.

Yes! The beautiful Tatra mountains! This makes me proud to have been born in Slovakia 🇸🇰 ‼️

As a Canadian who loves hiking in the Rockies, I can't tell you how much I enjoy these kinds of videos. The mountains are such beautiful place, and I'd recommend anyone that lives near a mountain to go explore it!

Istg this is the most nerve-racking yet for some reason inspirational stuff out there. No cheesy speeches, no bs; just a guy climbing mountains, almost making me cry when those rocks rolling down, making us think: “it could've been you” yet so grateful he's made it safe in the end. What a journey to be a (at least some) part of.

Many Thanks, that was a great tour of the Tatra mountains. I've always wanted to visit them but now I feel less of a need to as that was a such an extensive "hands on" experience. I'm also really happy you came back in one piece and I think your knowing your own limits helped that. Well done!

An epic journey or frighteningly palm sweating moments. I rest assured that you survived, all the way through by the very fact you returned to upload the video...without that, I would have feared any of those rocks could have gave out. Glad you made it. Thrilling viewing, stunning scenery.

I was in the Tatras last year and when I saw those abandoned buildings I thought shiey would definitely climb them. At the end of the video I just had to smile

Shiey please don't throw stuff in alpine terrain for your own and other peoples safety. You can never know what/who is below or what avalanche you might trigger. You also might loose your stuff when you can least afford it safety wise. Always have a good (paper) map and compass with you. Always know where you are on the map at a given time. Rocky terrain only with shoes that support the ankle. If you twist your ankle you are often done without help in complicated terrain. Check weather beforehand. Plan your route well. Measure your average ascend/descend rate to improve your planing. If you plan to do multiple peaks/days plan a descent route for every section of the hike in case weather deteriorates. Alpine territory can become a very inhabitable place quickly, even in, and sometimes especially in high summer. Many of these things you probably know already. The mountains are a beautiful piece of this world. Stay safe!

I remember when this guy was train surfing wayyyy back. But this, this is the first time I've really just had to comment. Cause this is just awesome man. Shiey can climb but more importantly he moves quick. He only had a couples days of supplies to make this happen but the man never fails. Much love.

Ive seen every video that is currently available, including ones on your website, and this is by far one of my favorites. There’s something special about this one. Definitely would rank it in my top 3

The camera view for most of this is truly terrifying

Goddamn man! As soon as I saw the video title I was like "this will be the best thing to watch on this calm Friday evening" I clicked right away. After 10 seconds, when I realized you were in my home country, I was really taken aback and it brought a smile to my heart. I've been to the top of some of these peaks, but I only stuck to the hiking trails, obviously😁. These views and your bravery gave me chills throughout the whole video. Dude, you're so amazing! Those mountains may not be the tallest, but going through the paths you've chosen without any harnesses is sick AF! 🤌I love seeing you enjoying our small country! I wish you all the best and stay safe. ✌

This is what shiey does. He is not risking his life for content. He is just bringing us along with a camera to show what is giving his life meaning and being free. Might be an adrenaline junkie. Sure there is risk but it's living unlike being addicted to street drugs. I really enjoyed it. For some reason it didn't give me vertigo like some of his rooftop and tower climbs do.

Its mind boggling to me how someone can be so fearless. I´m always looking forward for your next adventure, stay safe brother!

Shiey, you are INSANE! This was simply amazing. I didn't expect you visiting our mountains. What a nice surprise. And I am happy you made in in one piece :D . Thank you again.

As a climber my advise is to always face the rock , don't ascend facing away from the wall (in some instances ) but let me tell you , you did a great job 10/10!

No matter how many times I would watch your videos, they're amazing, and giving amazingly feeling of being there's witch you while you exploring all these areas. They're do look kind of dangerous. Thank you for doing something like that - it's like part of my dreams beesee through you. Thank you .

I've seen Tatry from another, much lower mountain peak in Poland (that faces them). I climbed it literally a week ago thinking huh what crazy people would actually climb these giants 😭 Tatra Mountains are no joke, this is by far the craziest thing you've uploaded. When I looked at them, the weather was clear so they were perfectly visible, imposing, so far away but so huge my brain couldn't grasp it and the Dunajec river made the scene look like from a fantasy movie. Staring at the size of them from the highest peak at the end of the trail took my breath away, their tips were grazing the clouds, I could see something I assume was snow laying on top and I thought I'd have to be insane to go there and then I go on youtube thinking huh I wonder if shiey is alive and I see this 😭

Great video as always. Love that you finally visited Slovakia :) . But people, dont think of doing something like this too. These type of trails are most dangerous in these mountains. There are like 70-100 deaths yearly in these mountains so please be careful and just go through the marked trails. Dont wanna see in news that someone else has died in Tatras again just because it looked cool as Shiey made it.

I'm sure Shiey won't see this, but reference losing camp in the dark: it would be worth taking a glowstick, or similar to mark camp. I have a keyring on my keys that has a glass tube in it which glows for 25 years+. It's only small, but in the dark of the mountain it would be like a beacon to help you find camp again... Stay safe man.

Oh wow it looks like SHIEY has an ostomy bag at 26:40. Maybe that’s why he likes to travel so much, to escape life. More power to you bro

I watch this video almost every night just so I can go to bed. Watched it more than 30 times.....

again and again, each video of you reminds me that this is the content youtube was probably made for. thank you for sharing your incredible journeys and letting me forget all my stress and fears for half an hour. you are really awesome!

The way you climb up there so effortlessly reminds me of how I used to glitch my way up the mountains in Skyrim, haha. Thanks for the adventures!

You are living my dream, man. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.

Man you are super crazy, going without necessary equipment. There was a many moments when I hold the breath. Even I feel the adrenaline. Thankfully you finished the hike without any accident. A lot of respect for you!

This has to be one of the most dangerous journeys you ever did, if not the most! Loved every second of it

Hey Shiey, I'm from Slovakia and I've been watching you for years. Can't believe you've actually been here. Hope you enjoyed your stay.✌

The backpack: My people need me!

that abandoned building at the end was a medical center called helios, at its heyday it was the most advanced medical center in slovakia. interesting how it was let rot like that

Hey from Slovakia!!! Hope you enjoyed our mountains!!!

Hey Shiey, word of recomendation for you. If you have the chance or time, make a staff. Doesn't matter whether it's taller than you or half your height. It's a good walking tool. It can help you climb extreme heights (mountains, windows, walls, trees, etc.) You can pole vault across jumps with it. It gives you a 3rd point of balance. It can be used as a self defense tool. It can extend your reach. If it's strong enough, you can use it as a improvised bridge or tightrope. It can act as a shelter pole with a tarp. It's lightweight. And it's really cheap to make.

You are a legend bro. Climbing through the high Tatras in my home country is like a walk in the park for you.💪💪💪

I used to clib and hike when i was about 13 - 16. Now it's been years since i last did it. This video gives me motivation to go back outdoors explore the world
