Super inspiring video. I got into ice climbing this year and its been one of the best experiences in my life. It was easy to make excuses early on, but as soon as I gained successes, I got more addicted and less fearful.
Jackson and crew showed up here in Kyrgyzstan last winter. They crossed the border to Tajikistan and crushed the ice down there. Amazing amazing climbing and I'm super lucky to have met them. Come back out guys!
Yep, I'm with you. My guess is they realized how flimsy the pillar was once he lead up the rock section and tried to transition to it, at that point they probably left a few peices of pro and bailed out with a rope left hanging. After giving the ice a week or so to form up, they returned. Then used the rope they left hanging to "top rope" the wicked rock section, then finished the ice climb. It doesn't take anything away from the crazyness of this climb- you'd never find me on anything like Jesus Wept or Gimme Back My Bullets- I don't have the skills or the life insurance policy for it. But still, there's some 'artistic liberties' being done with the video editing for sure.

Awesome filming and climbing. The mixed psyche is high
that hollow swing at the end made me audibly groan

Fantastic!!!
Amazing playground, I'm jealous. Very nice documentary, not often enough.

"...one of those rare, ephemeral lines that don't come very often..." Great.
Great video! Awesome!
just awesome
It’s never enough!
Love the retro song reference
I like his rating system
Good one..learned a lot.

This guy is a walking hero.
The footage is mixed on the go at the end. You can see it the way the ice goes from being two mediocre pillars high up to being a curtain high up. ???

@@williamkholeif Nah, just the angle is off and compresses the view of the pillars. 5 points on the daggers each time.
Yaaaasssss!
Fuc”+#ng awesome!!!! Thanks bra!
This man has to climb Rocky Mountain Horror Show
Fuckin bad ass. Well done guys.
I wish BD would bring back the CoEfficient line. I love mine.
And somehow you felt that was a useful thought to post for this video?
"Mega ride"......... Sounds painful but epic nonetheless.
Climbed the dagger on thin here in box canyon . Some of this looks like joes valley too
What a stud, that was NOT easy
brass balls!!!!
1h30 drive too much of an investment? I have to drive 5h30 one way for good ice
NWS
Really? Drilling your way up to get to the ice? I would rather leave it unclimbed than do that, but each to their own.
So what??
