very nice video!! The delicate passage of the climb looked really scary. Glad u made it fast and well to the top. Ice climbing content is great, I hope the conditions will get better in February.
Thanks for adventure! Maybe sometime on the way to the climb or after , you could tell us about some technical aspects if there are any - for example, how do you know that part of the ice you hit with your axe won't fall of with you? And are you afraid at some parts of the climb, maybe fear of falling? How did you get over it if you ever had it? Thanks in advance!
Thank you! 🙏 Yeah that would be an interesting topic to talk about 🙂 Thanks for the idea! I will make sure to discuss it in one of my future videos 🙂 Kind regards from Slovenia 🙌
@@andrazegart I would love to hear more about the technicalities of such a climb (or any of your climbs, for that matter). Sounds like an interesting video and maybe we can learn something from it.
Just dont die mate. In poland we got Dominik Socha (u can find his channel on yt), also solo climber. Verry talented. But died few years ago. One mistake and ur gone.
Thanks again for a great upload. Ice climbing with no gloves! I’ve never tried it out being mainly a warm weather rock climber but always find it fascinating.
short but very nice climb😎 we can see how much effort you put into your passion, respect. It's amazing how well you are physically prepared and how well you have studied your tours💪. And btw a nice thumbnail🤩
Thank you! 🙏 You can never be overprepared 🙌😀 Thanks for noticing, I really put a lot of effort into this thumbnail, and I’m quite proud of how it turned out 😊
Ohhh man… ice climbing without gloves is freezing, good ice climbing journey. In my opinión duo picks in crampons is better in ice climbing because you have more stability. But monopoints is better for my in mix or drytooling. Good video!
Thank you! Yeah you’re correct, duo points is a more suitable option for the most part. But I do prefer mono for ice climbing above WI5 and of course dry tooling.
Thank you! Yeah, I could avoid some of those breaking flakes by just not hitting the ice bulges… Still had a bit of early season rust I guess haha. But no worries, those flakes are not a danger as long as you have 3 other good points of contact, which you should always have anyway!
Sensational video. Guess the bare hands to have better grip. But the coldness should be a challenge I suppose. Some super tense moments in this video. What if an entire block comes off?
I'd love to get into ice climbing. My only question really is; Do your toes get frozen while climbing? or are the boots good enough to keep them warm, being so close to the ice?
Mi smo imeli navezane s pomoćjo najlon vrvice 6 mm . Vrh cepina , zanka za roko, ki si jo lahko izvlekel in naprej preko rame. Na sliki ki sem ti jo poslal na mail se vidi.Tako si lahko cepin izpustil, ko si prišel v kopno skalo in preplezal kopni del, potem pa spet nadel cepin ,ki ti je tačas bingljal spodaj. Lep vzpon, čestitke. lp
Thin ice is not for me!! I know you survived but I didn't enjoy watching some of those placements flaking off. You enjoyed though , and another great vidoe. Thanks .Howard
Thank you! Yeah, those flakes falling off are annoying, but as long as you have three other good points of contact, then it’s all good. Looking back I could’ve absolutely avoided some of those flakes by not hitting the ice bulges, but hey, mistakes happen… more often in the beginning of the season.
@@andrazegart Andraž, I’m prepping for 4 back to back alpine peaks in April. Meaning 4 consecutive days of 3500 peaks (up, down, sleep, repeat * 4). Any advice from your side on physical side of the training? Appreciate if you can consider the question
Having had tool blow with no warning I have developed methods of placement and testing as I climb- which i see isnt happening in this climbing. It does make me nervous to watch, i wouldn't use alot of his placements. The comment regarding dropped tool is valid.too.
I'm more impressed by ice climbing inside as active volcano. In the dead of winter following one of several glacial rivers up into the caldera, Ready to survive steam explosions, poison gas, and rude officialdom who do authorize such visits.
I dunno, I just decided to switch it up and try duo, because I’ve always had it set on mono. There isn’t that much of a difference at all. You will only really notice it with hard ice climbing or drytooling.
Kateri ruzak to uporabljas? A je to millet prolighter 30+10? A je dost velik, ce vzames se spalko s sabo pa blazino za prespat v bivaku pozimi? Pa si zadovoljen al bi kej drugega priporocal?
Greetings from the northern part of Europe. I've been used to ice and snow all my life, but I still can't understand how people can trust ice without knowing its life cycle? I mean, so called steel ice can easily carry the 1000kg car when it's at least 10cm thick, but there is also 10 cm thick ice that you can brake with your fist. For example, ice formed in wind is more fragile than ice formed in calm, snow can act as an insulator between air and ice, sun's radiation and heat weakens ice's crystal structure, impurities make forming ice more porous, there can be air between the layers of ice, there can also be hidden cracks and so on... Okey, if ice is clear and translucent you can probably trust it. If it's dark, then it's formed from condensed snow and water. I that case, it's much weaker and there may be surprices. And if ice is white and porous you probably shouldn't trust it at all. But is that it? Do you know something that I don't?
I see you’ve studied ice pretty damn well :) If I may add a few of my own points that you missed. - ice shrinks and expands… which makes it crack in sudden temperature changes, and that’s especially dangerous for any kind of free standing waterfalls (pillars). - in really cold weather ice becomes really fragile when you hit it, so it’s difficult to climb as pieces of ice are constantly breaking off on impact. - that’s why it’s much nicer to climb in a bit warmer weather, because the ice feels like butter and it’s way easier to get a nice stick. But of course it can’t be too warm, because then you know what might happen…
@@andrazegart Thanks, man. I was thinking that you must have learned to feel ice pretty damn well to do what you are doing. All the best and stay safe!
just one question: why don´t you treat yourself with nice and shiny sunglasses? :D in this conditions maybe clear ones.. that ice must be like glass when it hits the eyes..
I’ve got the ultimate eye protection technique - squinting 🤣. Hahah I’ve never worn glasses for ice climbing, and so far I haven’t had any problems. Knock on wood 🙃.
No glooves? you remind me of Canada's best Alpinist and all round climber, Marc Andre LeClerc - he used to climb mixed routes in -30 celsius with bare hands also - crazy cold here in Canada -
@@andrazegart Definitely! His free solo of the Mt Staneley Head Wall here in the Canadian Rockies was absolutely insane!!! - If you haven't seen the film "The ALpinist" give it a watch as it is a wonderful tribute to Marc Andre and his stellar contribution to the sport of Alpinism. BTW: Do you live anywhere near BLED? I was in Slovenia back in the mid 80s when it was still part of Yugoslavia - I have very fond memories of the town of BLED! - one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Keep up the good work friend!!! Cheers from chilly Canada!!!
@@drewcunningham2 I’ve seen the movie already, but I’ll probably watch it again 😅. Yeah I’m relatively close to Bled. It sure is beautiful, but in the summer it’s packed with tourists. I much more prefer it in the winter 😃 Cheers from rainy Slovenia :)
@@andrazegart Yeah, tourists have ruined Lake Louise and Banff here in Canada as well - far too many of them thus you can no longer climb at the back of Lake Louise - stay safe mate!!!

Thank you brother! 🙏
What’s stopping you? Go after it 😊🙌
@@andrazegart i was thinking the same thing.. o.O why live through someone else? create your own life
That being said, the guy is good at what he does and his energy is great
Love that moment when you touch ice for the first time of the season. Could feel the energy. Thanks for the video 😊
congrats on 10k man so cool to see how far you came. Always a pleasure watching your videos man. NEVER STOP!!
Thank you 😊 yeah, it feels unreal to have such a large community watching me 😅❤️
just wanted to let you know, your videos are like asmr, very relaxing

ice climbing without gloves is wild to me, insane brotha!
LOVED ITTTT❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope to definitely try something like this in future longer video would be even good to watch
Thank you! ❤️
If you ever want to try ice climbing, make sure to find a mountain guide who’s gonna help you do it in a safe way :)
@@andrazegart 😊
Great climb! Greetings from Vienna!
Great camera angle from the ice tool. What was the temperature? I'm surprised that you didn't wear thin gloves for the climb.
No need for gloves when you re on "beast mode" ;)
It was barely below freezing, so I didn’t feel the need to use them :)
Looked a bit sketchy on some points, but I am glad you got home safely, haha. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Yeah, I could avoid some of those breaking flakes by just not hitting the ice bulges…
Still had a bit of early season rust I guess haha.
But no worries, those flakes are not a danger as long as you have 3 other good points of contact, which you should always have anyway!
Hehe, unique perspective from the ice axt!
Bro what if you drop a ice pick? I noticed you got no rope tied around just in case you drop it 😱
young titan in training : you are appreciated
Thank you brother! You’re appreciated 🙏❤️
Still strong! Keep it up and stay safe! 🫡

Great video btw ;)

Nice job! great share/ many thanks
Thank you too! 🙏🙌
Odlično, kot vedno, bravo Andraž 🙏 ... je pa od Češke dol po gozdu kar nekaj podrlo spet 🤔
Hvala 🙏😊
Ja, res je. Nazadnje ko sem tle hodil (poleti) ni blo se nic podrto.
Super... a vseeno bi si jaz, čeprav ne plezam in nisem nikakršen strokovnjak🙂, cepina privezal nekako nase...., za vsak slučaj...
Ja, definitivno nebi škodilo, ampak je pa to dodatna ovira k ti malenkost omejuje preprijemanje :)

Thank you! 😊
I’m using Scarpa Mont Blanc Pro with Petzl Lynx crampons.

I really dont understand how is it even possible to climb this. It seems so fragile and dangerous.

could a whole chunk break off?

Andraz! You really should take your crampons off when walking on someone’s wooden deck!
@@grahammiles5695True
Thank you!
Yeah, I agree! I definitely should have taken them off.
But in my defence the deck is already pretty worn out and punctured by crampons.
Hello!
Why did you switch from mono to duo?
What would you say the main differences are?
I dunno, I just decided to switch it up and try duo, because I’ve always had it set on mono.
There isn’t that much of a difference at all. You will only really notice it with hard ice climbing or drytooling.
10:00 absolutely right bro!
🙌
You do you! Climb on! People watching, respect the danger in this. You need special instincts and skills to do this. Don’t take it lightly.
Je, je. Uživali smo 😁
Hvala, me veseli 😊

did you have to change gopro mid climb? thats crazy haha
I only change the GoPro mount if there is a comfortable ledge to do so.
But of course I cut that part out of the video :)
😨He just take some little Cube from icebox for refresh Lemon juice😂
Your balls are bigger than that mountain! Lol..great climb 😂
Don’t know about that 😅🤣

it must be mild (not very cold) for you to climb without gloves
Yup, it was barely below freezing :)
Koja je ocjena slapa?
85°/60°, (WI4-)
Good job!!
But next time use glowes!
*Mw2 flashbacks*
secure your axes with string on your waist, if you loose them its a bad day
I am well aware of that, but I prefer not to use them :)
Cruisy
To sketchy
Why don't you have gloves on😢😭🥶
If it’s not too cold, I prefer to climb without gloves for a better feeling :)
Senza guanti 😂
look at that view 10:23
🏔️🙌
Dominik Socha was also super confident in his abilities to do such climbes in such weather..
It didn't end well for him unfortunatelly.
i think there is a difference between them two
Nice video man, but stop the clickbait titles. There was no snowstorm.
Troppo caldo,
What?
