Hiking a Big Mountain in a Perfectly Straight Line

In this video, I hike up a huge mountain in a completely straight line. In total, I hiked almost 2000m of elevation gain that day with a total distance of about 20 km. It was one of the hardest hikes in my life because hiking in a straight line on a steep mountain is like climbing a very, very long staircase. There was also a fair bit of scrambling involved. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, so I’m glad I finally did it. The final views on top of Pizzo di Camarda were simply spectacular. I returned to my car using a headtorch 3 hours after sunset.

it's like every hikers intrusive thought

[@OscarHikes]

Couldn't have said it better! 😀

[@socpancake]

thank you for letting me live out my childhood fantasy from the safety of my bed 😅 really fun adventure! the most relatable part was when the church bell startled you 🙈 after the shocks of the cliffs, i would have cried!

[@Shehikes1]

Wow this is literally what I think of doing when I look at the mountains around my home. So cool thank you!

[@NickNam3]

Pretty cool!! 👏👏 Beautiful view!

[@rahafizramli1283]

I had the same thought.Thanks for doing this.

[@gregmortonoutdoors]

Great views at the summit!

[@Tosadar_Outdoors]

Great adventure and good vibes 😍👌🔥🤘🍻💯

[@Mrgoofyoops]

Don’t worry about the haters, every UA-cam video producer that does anything imaginative or different gets armchair critics who love to write nasty crap.
One thing that there never is a shortage of is jerks.

[@user-vk8xm4vv1v]

I just do that whenever I get off trail... but without planning it

[@user-ce1qy6uf2d]

Good video!

[@OscarHikes]

Thanks!

[@dag_larsson]

Have you seen @GeoWizard ? He's done a few straight-line missions as he calls them.

Muy interesante, Óscar.
El enebro es un arbusto incómodo de atravesar, pero es terciopelo si lo comparas con la maquia espinosa que predomina en buena parte de la baja montaña mediterránea de España. Allí salirse del camino supone acabar la excursión con los pantalones destrozados o las piernas ensangrentadas.
Los que salimos a la montaña desde tiempos analógicos preferimos hacer esas cosas con mapa y brújula, pero con tramos más cortos, en un zig-zag que evite lo peor de la vegetación y los barrancos más peligrosos...
Feliz 2024!

I lived in Andalucia for 1 year, and i've done my fair share of hiking in Sierra Nevada, Nieves, Grazalema, Carzola, etc. So I know what you're talking about 😀 Much more painful than here!

[@outdoorshoesofficial]

Great hiking video! Our videos are in the USA, what country is this? We will be liking and subscribing.

[@OscarHikes]

Thanks! It's Italy, in the Apennine Mountains

[@samhoman2147]

Great video - I've always wanted to do that too! Did you camp near the top or descend in the dark?

[@OscarHikes]

Descended in the darkness. But there was a road/good trail to get back to my car. Still, had to hike down for another 3 hours in darkness 😀

[@emshains]

Vai esi redzējis GeoWizard'a "Straight line" missijas?

[@OscarHikes]

Es zināju, ka ir tāds koncepts, bet nebiju nekad pats noskatījies nevienu šādu video. Pēc tam, kad editoju un smēlos idejas thumbnailam, beidzot noskatījos pāris video, ne tikai no GeoWizard. Izrādās, ka mans mēģinājums nebija nekas salīdzinot ar viņiem. :D Bet nekas, jo priekš manis tas bija ļoti interesants piedzīvojums!

[@Alseki7]

But then did you have to climb back down in the dark?

[@gantulgaganhuyag717]

Well kids, there is never a perfectly straight line in nature 😅 just follow the flows, be with the nature not against it 😂

[@MrFurioushamster]

Traks cilvēks))) man ar patīk gari un izaicinoši haiki, bet tas ir par daudz:)😅
Edit. Ja tev ir vajadzīga palīdzība video montaźã, raksti. Palīdzēšu, bez maksas

[@OscarHikes]

Šis noteikti bija izaicinoši 😅 Paldies par piedāvāšanu, bet esmu tas cilvēks, kam patīk pašam editot! 🙂

[@MrFurioushamster]

@@OscarHikes saprotu un cienu!

[@leonthesickone1873]

How did you get down?

[@OscarHikes]

With a headtorch, hiking another 3h in darkness. :)

[@valeriomazzoni7740]

Come sei sceso al buio?

[@OscarHikes]

3h hiking with a headtorch 🙂

Are you serious, praising this horrible super wide-angle camera toy so much ? Who voluntarily looks at such distorted pictures ? I get a headache after just 10 seconds. You're destroying your channel with these shots. Please use normal focal lengths. Please!

[@user-vk8xm4vv1v]

so you walk a straight line, except for when you don't? so are you or aren't you? you were not. clickbait title... I can appreciate it more had you said: hiking a big mountain in as straight a line as possible. that probably would create more intrigue with people anyway since it gets them curious: how straight can he get? Instead you try to clickbait with a lie and yea... got me disappointed is what I'm saying. It also didn't sound all that impressive cause I assumed it wasn't an impressive mountain if you could walk a PERFECT line....

[@OscarHikes]

Whatever dude. Go do it yourself then, I'll keep doing my own thing 🙂
