Fuck! That stretch starting around 7:30 with hard ice under a little snow looked terrifying. Well done. I have hiked to Snowbird Pass, and into Berg Lake myseof on snowshoes in March. We share the same last name.
That was definitely the most exposed part of the climb! Nice one, it’s such a beautiful area with so much potential. Really! That’s neat, it’s a good last name haha
Thank you, and yes the lightness of the tools means you swing faster which makes you go up quicker, but it’s also more difficult to get good sticks in pure ice.
4:27 Potentially falling into a crevasse like that way up on a big mountain like that gives me the chills, I'll stick to mountains without glacier travel. I know a local climber that I met briefly in the mountains that later fell into a crevasse and died, he was also traveling unroped, they're just too spooky.
These kind of things should get more views than mainstream sports. Absolutely unbelievable. Would love to have seen the descent
Thank you! And I know about the descent, GoPro batteries need to last longer..
Outstanding!! The helmet cam view on these climbs are perfect. I have a similar video on Mt Peveril in Jasper..loved it!! Stay safe !
Just checked out your video, very cool! And thank you!
Spectacular!

Great video, really eye-opening 😊
Shows you can do this type of route with ‘regular’ modern axes. Good video 😊

Amazing route and skilled climber. Good work!
Thank you!
Remarkable! I wanted to see the descent! The most important part of any climb!
Unfortunately GoPro batteries don’t last very long
Epic, I wish I had the resources to do this.
me too!
So full on. Great video.
Thanks!

nice vid
Thanks!
Tnx for the video, this is awesome... how did you go down? Did you use ice screws? V thread? Rappell or downclimb? Tnx
Cheers thanks! Mostly rappels on V-threads and a bit of down climbing
Great video to show the ascent. How strong was the wind once above Kain face? And before you got to the col, how hard was the scramble?
Thanks! The wind was very strong above the Kain Face and the scramble was long but not particularly technical
Do you think downclimbing the whole way is fairly feasible without any rappelling?
I think it would be pretty scary but possible for sure, I wouldn’t recommend it though.
Climbed this year?
Yes in September
