Descent from Khan Tengri Camp 4 in Strong wind
Переглядів 274 години тому
A challenging situation arose during the descent from Camp 4 on Khan Tengri in strong winds. The combination of treacherous terrain, extreme altitude, and relentless weather significantly increased the difficulty and risks involved. Navigating the icy slopes required precise technique, while the reduced oxygen levels tested both skill and endurance to their limits.

The tower itself extends from the summit, reaching a total elevation of 3,842 meters (12,605 feet). Built into the rock and topped with an antenna, it is a defining feature of the Aiguille du Midi. Built in the 1950s, constructing the tower in such an extreme environment posed significant challenges, including high-altitude logistics and weather. The tower is not just functional; it has become ...

Khan Tengri Camp 3 on 2021
Переглядів 4616 годин тому
Colorful tents dot the white, snow-covered mountain at Camp 3 on the Southern Route, at an altitude of 5,800m. There are two options for setting up tents: over the ridge or under the ridge. I prefer setting up under the ridge, as it offers better shelter from the wind. However, pitching over the ridge can be challenging due to strong winds at times.

This is the East Face of the Old Man of Hoy, featuring the original route with 5 pitches. I climbed it in August 2024, free solo, except for the second pitch, where I used rope solo climbing techniques. The hardest part was carrying two 60m ropes all the way to the top, just for the abseil down. This route has seen only two free solo ascents in history: the first by the legendary climber Cather...

Khan Tengri camp 4

In 2021, at an altitude of 6,200 meters at Camp 4 on Khan Tengri in Kyrgyzstan, we had planned to summit that morning. However, the base camp manager contacted us via walkie-talkie, urgently instructing all climbers to evacuate the mountain and return to base camp due to an approaching severe storm.

This is Khan Tengri, camp 3, 6200m, located between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
So sick dude what mountain is this
North wales, Cadair Idris, buddy. It was in Covid time, and I was alone in a mountain, and I really enjoyed every day I was getting my axe and climbed up a new route.
It is Cadair Idris area
How do your ice picks stay in so secure? It's always looking like you're just trusting your life on powder which is insane
Hey mate, I try to feel the nature and if I want to say how I have to say more sense and less brain involved
That looks great. Which route did you take Alex? Where you ropped in up to the table?
This is Cyfrwy Arete, in Cadair Idris, I am climbing free solo mate, did you see any rope?
