*Do not attempt glacier travel unroped (or climb solo for that matter) unless you are 100% sure of your ability, the conditions, and you fully understand the consequences of what you're getting into.*
I had extremely fortunate travel conditions, took my time probing every step when on glacier, and was completely comfortable with all the terrain I encountered going both up, and down, the mountain. That said, there are many smaller, less committing objectives I've happily walked away from (with or without partners) when things were less than I was fully comfortable with. I do not endorse soloing or taking any unnecessary risks in the mountains, your choices are your own.
One of the highlights of the whole trip was coasting down from Kinney Lake to the parking lot on my bike. So much more enjoyable than death-marching these 4-5km on foot after all that this mountain entails!
I just want to know how he got the wheelbarrow that he pushes his giant balls around in up that mountain alone.
That is one heck of a solo, man.
Absolutely Incredible video and accomplishment!!!
This is one of my favorite climbing videos!!
All I can say is Wow ! Way out of my comfort zone but thanks for taking me along for the climb
A two-day, one-night solo ascent of Robson?...pretty freaking-seriously hard core. Excellent video, great climb, terrific accomplishment. Big congratulations!
Insane. Passed by Mt. Robson MANY times and always wondered what this would be like.
You’re an animal. This is incredible
Incredible video!
Excellent video on your epic journey , Really liked the fact you took the time to show us the route and the surrounding peaks to put into perspective as to where you were looking at.
What an amazing achievement! First hiked to Berg Lake with my dad at 16 and always wondered what it would be like to actually reach Robson's summit. This video gives me a better perspective then I ever imagined seeing all those years ago. Congrats on making your dream come true!
.
Excellent and very, very well put together mix of photos and video ! A physical tour de force and Solo to boot ! Glad you had Good weather and snow conditions...
.
Great video and congrats on the summit! On my bucket list!!
Wow! That was amazing. honestly I’m blown away. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing accomplishment. You had incredible weather too! Just about every time I drive past the peak is in the clouds!
You have balls of steel my dude, you must have a ton of experience to be chill doing this. Congrats on a sick ascent!
The guy is an absolute hero eh?
Thanks Brandon, I had the necessary experience and fitness, but more than anything else I had exceptionally good conditions on the mountain- I am no hero!
@@brettbilon5699 I don't mean to detract from your accomplishment by suggesting that "you're just different"
I'm just in awe is all. Keep it up man
@@tyresseWilliams81 all comments are welcome here! Thanks for your kind words, whether I deserved them or not, and wishing you success in the mountains-
awesome job, view at 4.55 is just breathtaking
Beautiful shots!!
Love this, what a video. Big respect!
amazing! Monets like that cannot be put into words. cheers!
Amazing accomplishment. Well done!
You’re an absolute beast! I just watched The Alpinist on Marc Andre and bro you are an elite climber yourself! Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Glad you liked the video! I'm nowhere even remotely close to the levels of talent or ability of climbers like Marc Andre though-
Fantastic its on my list of to do's as well. Glad to see the weather turned up perfect for the summit.
Amazing achievement, great video
Amazing and you did it solo! I hope one day to do this!
Inspiring work! Congrats!
Such ideal conditions on the Kain Face
I was very lucky indeed
Wow man good job!
Wow man, that’s so awesome. Great song choice to. And saying o my god at the top. So cool.
Dude you're a BadAss!! Awesome!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great content, thanks for sharing
who ever disliked this clearly miskicked lol
What a great video! Although, as usual, I wish as much was shown of the descent as of the ascent. Both matter.
Absolutely fantastic! Well done.
Love this video. Congrats on the climb.
Nice work, Brett!
(Met you & Chad with Devan on Alberta last season)
Great post!
Cheers!
wow! Amazing!!!
Teach me your ways, master
Leave some manhood in this world for the rest of us.
Brett, you and I gotta get out climbing again!
Excellent
Good edit 😊
Looks like you found an ankle biter at 1:48. Pretty scary to be finding those unroped!
Music level placed perfect in the background, not cranked, as in sooo many vids, 'cause it's not about the music. Thanks.
Very impressive. Looked kind of scary in a few spots.
Watching this high right now and that song you used was vibing with me so much!
If society is still intact I will be hiking the GDT this summer, I've been wondering how do able it is off trail and it seems within my scope, I might have to listen to that same song mate!
Fucking badass dude! Respect.
wow! Amazing what an achievement!
how many years of mountaineering experience before you tackled this?
CineLuxe Media on and off for 20+ years, but it’s not a technically difficult climb- it’s more the weather, snow/glacier travel, and timing that makes this a tricky one for a lot of folks:)
That’s really cool,
Legendary shit bro
btw great video and congrats
I don't think that mountain could be climbed in better style that what you did. I got thrashed on that mountain 3 time in my day and never made it to the top. Congrats.
niiice!
So impressive!
Hey man awesome video. This ascent is a dream of mine. What brown OR pants are you wearing? Thanks!
This was a great video and awesome achievement, this mountain is on my list someday,that's a lot of gain and some pretty gnarly zones 😀 how would you compare this to say the cascades such as Rainier?it's obviously wayyy more technical, how did you minimize danger on the glacier being solo?nice work!!!
Thanks for committing! I’ve never climbed in the cascades so can’t give you any comparison unfortunately, but for glacier I’ve found that it’s 90% about the conditions and route selection and 10% making sure you’re probing constantly & deep.
Done in style... Truly amazing! No V-thread raps off the summit or Kain face?
Thanks Adam! One rap at the top of face and a second one over schrund
Impressive man! How did you descend safely after soloing it?
This is awesome! Quick question: what was your prior mountaineering experience? Really want to head up here in a couple years
Thanks! I had been climbing on & off for most of my adult life, maybe 10yrs combined mountaineering experience. Good luck with your journey!
@@brettbilon5699 thanks! Planning a multi month road trip to the Canadian Rockies in roughly a year and a half and I think mt Robson is definitely at the top of my list to see, and it’d be a better treat if I could climb it!
Mate, well done!! You've got balls. I've soloed 2 very large high angle glacial faces like this, and people have no clue how gnarly/scary the shit really is. Particularly solo!! Hey question: When you said that the snow softened, making the descent straightforward, how soft are you talking? Like soft enough to lay the edge of a snowboard? You did this in July, I'm guessing?? Thanks for posting this!
Russell Cunningham thanks Russell!! Definitely the kind of snow that would be ski/rideable, and it has been skied a bunch of times for sure. I did this in July but if you went for May/June it would likely be a lot better ski conditions in typical years.
this would be the year for it Russ ;)
@@michaelwigley5298 Any Canadian takers? ;)
How long have you been mountaineering?
Since the mid 1990s
planning to practice on this mountain before going to everest!
might want to practice on Everest first to do a climb like this.
@@craighall3820 Not planning on doing kane face, your very talented for doing the hardest side in my opinont
@@zoomfps5432 Not me! I'm just a replier. If I ever get younger again I'd love to do either of the aforementioned climbs. Life is too short.
@@craighall3820 if I ever climb everest I will think of that
@@zoomfps5432what he did is indeed serious but is the Emperor Face not more vertical/technical/difficult? But I’m definitely no expert.
