- Welcome back to the channel, and today we have possibly the scariest thing we've ever done to share with you!! We have been eyeing this iconic desert tower for years now wondering if we'd ever get the chance to climb it. We headed back to Moab for a month this April, and decided we may as well give it a shot!
Ancient Art is one of the most heavily climbed towers ever, and for a good reason! I truly is one of the most iconic, unique and terrifying pieces of rock on the entire planet.
I still get shakey thinking about this whole experience. What an absolute roller coaster of emotions!
Let us know if you enjoyed this one, and if you think you'd give it a shot!

Wow. I could barely watch that from my couch in Australia. Nerves of steel.
Insane! That sidewalk and top rock is so gnarly, pure exposure. Such an intense rock formation to conquer. Truly epic video.
Fisher towers! One of the best hikes to do in the whole world with your dog :)
I have watched many videos of this climb, this one is my favorite!!
Did you get PTSD editing that video lol?? Holy crap that was scary. Brilliant!!!
HOLY CRAP, GUYS!!! That was crazy!!!! Congrats!
You got really cool footage here!! Go Pro, Insta 360... All the best moments!!! Epicness!!!
Thank you! It really was EPIC!
woooooow, looks incredible. Thanks for the video!
Got my hands all sweaty watching this 😭🤣
Just amazing!!! Congrats!
Thanks so much!!
That's a gnarly piece of rock. Impressive.
This is brutal and crazy, i love it.
This should have MILLIONS of views. Congrats to ya’ll for this.
I like it, from Morocco❤
That was amazing ! I’d recommend a prussic on the return to save a massive fall (even if low risk)
Wowwww what an adventure. Would LOVE to do this one day but I don't know if I could handle it haha.
Epic Video!!!
what's the name of the song you used? I love it ❤
This is sooo impressive. Im not an expert climber, but doing a lot of mountaineering and thought, i would be used to heights. But this is as exposed as a climb can get, unless maybe climbing a see-through radio-tower with a sketchy ladder 😅 Makes me a bit woozy even watching on the screen. Great respect!
My nightmare would be that spire starting to wobble or tilt mid climb or standing on top 😬
when you get that nervous you should listen
Well done guys. My wife and I tried to do this 7 years ago but woke up to snow. Haven’t had a chance to go back yet.
Good job! Regarding safety, its best to remove metal/hard rings on your fingers before climbing, they can get stuck in finger jams and cut you or pin you. (and it scratches the ring)
Great point! Neither of us have worn a hard ring in months, the rings we wear are silicone for that exact reason.
17:23...that nice view...rocket at your side..
I think about 5 oz of sweat came out of my hands just watching this!!!
What an adrenaline rush! Climbing Ancient Art in Moab, Utah must have been quite the experience. We sent you an email, take a look.
I am not a climber but I've always wondered if there are existing things in the rocks to clip into but also how long are those secure for? Years? And then someone reinstalls on a different route?
It all really depends on the rock and how well the placement was made and exactly what kind of bolt was used. Very nuanced but if it is placed perfectly you can find literature that says a bolt could have a 20-50 year life expectancy. CRAZY!
Where did your second half-rope go on the last pitch? :D
We left it at the big belay ledge at the top of pitch 2. They are both single/half/twin rated ropes, main reason for bringing both was the ability to rappel to the ground in one rap from the ledge rather than rappel the route through the chimney.
@@the_adventureaddicts I see :) It looked kinda busy so that was probably a good idea. In Europe we love bringing double ropes on multipitch climbs haha :D
There aren’t enough expletives on the planet for me to accurately comment.
凄いですね。恐いですね。
There are far far sketchier routes in Utah. Colorado too.
definiely scarier than skydiving. You both are my heros for not being image hungry narcissists, which is so rare unfortunately. I didn't have to be baited by some girl in a bikini showing off her tattoos and caked on makeup on the thumbnail. Hard not to notice that videos get 5 million views with zero content at all that way. You 2 actually have some serious game. (and unforntunately, you won't get many views despite that. You would need to play the game). I have taken to boycotting makeup. It's so easy to see how women are telling the world how shallow and gameless they are! The ones that waste 3 hours a day in front of the mirror and can never allow themselves to be seen by anyone without makeup.
Has anyone died doing this? I’d have to imagine so, since people seem to die doing just about anything you can imagine. I mean, people die rearranging their living room furniture. It’s wild out there.
Anyway, godspeed
Those mesas look like tree trunks cut down
Couldn't watch it all the way through, annoying music!
