Will Stay tuned for the video with all the details, looks great
Hey, halfway through the video and we're pumped about this one! Finally conquered the mountain, but man, New Zealand weather is so unpredictable! 😅 Loved it! We'll definitely do it again, probably the South-West Ridge this time! 🏔️🌦️
The outhouse used to have a wooden sign on it reading : "God's Throne", and back then it was all snow. I don't remember seeing so much rock.
Huh that’s loads of creativity from someone to come up with a sign like this 🪧! How long ago was this? What time of the year were you up there? This is end of December and kind of expected to have bare rock at that altitude…
@@alpine_squad We were there Jan/Feb 1989. I was my 3rd season climbing and the BEST memories I could have ever wished for. Stunningly beautiful country. cheers from New England
Oh wow, yeah true, I imagine back in 1989 there was much more snow than now…
We honestly feel very humbled knowing how many people visited this beautiful remote location throughout the years and that we all can connect with each other because of this beauty and life-changing experiences it gives!
Awesome video, awesome hike!
I just got back from hiking four days at Red River Gorge in Kentucky (personal fave place of mine). Home now, and I'm already missing the woods a little. Watching this was a nice segway into my tomorrow.
Goodnight from Indy ✌️
Thank you! Your adventure at Red River Gorge sounds amazing! Do you make any recordings? The woods have a way of pulling us in, don't they? For us, going back to the city after being in nature can be a bit depressing. Totally hear you on that! Hope you have a peaceful night and lots of cool outdoor adventures ahead! Peace ✌️
Looks like an awesome trip - thanks for sharing!!! J&V!
Thank you, J&V! This is what helps us to appreciate creation of the wonderful Creator. And it’s a good place to be. We hope you’ll experience it too, one day :)
Well done guys, epic trip. I've gotta get myself up there next summer.
Thanks Tom! You’d definitely enjoy being up there - bring your Polish girlfriend along too. 😉☺️
Awesome
Thank you 🙏 this video is meant to let the watcher sinking deep into the adventure following all the way up to the very🔝 of Mt Aspiring! We’re glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you 🙏
awsome video guys!
Thanks, Vivek! 🏔️ Are you guys planning any exiting trips for this winter? ❄️🥶
Why weren't you roped up going across the glacier around 22:00 ?
Hey, great question! The lower part of Bonar Glacier, especially between Bevan Col and Colin Todd Hut, doesn't have any big cracks or crevasses, especially later in the season when everything is already open. So, it's usually safe to cross without being roped up. Plus, there's quite a bit of traffic there daily, which kind of adds peace of mind. However, we roped up the last time we were there because we were crossing it in a whiteout. But as long as you can see where you're heading, it's usually alright. Approaching Colin Todd Hut from the Quarterdeck Pass or Breakaway would be a totally different story, though.
@@alpine_squad good to know
is this after your Mt Earnslaw one??
Hey, Earnslaw was back in 2019, and Aspiring last year, so technically, yes, Aspiring was after Earnslaw 😊
which route did you guys use ?
Hey 👋, this time the approach was via Bevan Col to Colin Todd hut, and then up ⬆️ classic North West Ridge bypassing the lower section via Kangaroo Patch. We’re to publish another video about this trip giving all the details in two weeks time.
@@alpine_squad aw thanks, saw your video - how to fail on mt aspiring. gotta a question you guy did Shipowner/North West Ridge and did you guys came down on the other side went up and climb the north ridge again ?, why not just follow the ridge all the way, is it harder ? ( planing to do my mountaineering cource next year in NZ, and would love to do mt aspiring soon after)
The "How to Fail" video was our first attempt on Mt Aspiring a few years back. The full North-West Ridge is a very good route. It's just long, and we're not the fastest party in the world yet. That day, we ran out of time as it was getting too late in the afternoon. This current video is our second attempt a year later; we took the Kangaroo Patch and joined the ridge before the buttress and then proceeded to the summit. All the best with your New Zealand endeavours next year. Mt Aspiring might definitely be a good one for you to climb!
is there any free training for alpine mountaineering? coz i really want to do it.
Hey, that's a good question. Though there's nothing free in the world today, you can learn from UA-cam videos or books like "Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills" and other guidebooks. A lot of knowledge is available online. However, having a mentor who can share practical skills with you and develop a pathway for your growth might be excellent. Also, try to join a local alpine club, depending on the area of the world you're in.
@@alpine_squad thanks im from New Zealand. I do a lot of tramping but i really love to go some alpine mountaineering stuff
If you do a lot of tramping, you already have a solid foundation for learning mountaineering, as much of the time is spent below the snowline during the approach (unless you're a rich cookie flying helicopters around). Depending on your location, you could join your local NZAC section or sign up for the annual Remarkables Ice & Mixed Festival in Queenstown. In our opinion, the clinics and instructional courses offered there are the cheapest and most effective way to learn snowcraft and leading in snow and ice. ua-cam.com/video/QEIxwvim4lU/v-deo.htmlsi=HU5pvyicYybl3ucC
Thank you for this information. It helps a lot thank you. Now i know when im gonna start. . I never attempt doing some alpine mountaineering without knowing 1st the basic skills. So afraid to get caught by avalanche 😂@@alpine_squad
Clickbait.
I do believe that this video has been edited.
Many different clips and background music.
Hm, I’d disagree - there is no color grading, no voice overs, no explaining, no pop ups or additional icons, and of course you can’t film the whole assent which takes days as just one video file and upload that 24hour footage on YT.
Check this vid out - it has been heavily edited in terms of story telling, explanations and narrations, various pop ups etc -

Thank you for changing the video title. But
