Solo Climbing Mission - The Collapsing Mountain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Join me as I try to free solo climb a mountain while rocks & ice are constantly raining on my head.
The route leads me up some steep rocky sections, collapsing couloirs, and even through an ice cave!

People have been calling me a murderer and all sorts of crazy stuff for that spider incident, so I feel like I have to defend myself at this point.
- I want to clarify, I'm not going around and purposefully killing every spider I see. I only did it, because I felt like it was a funny way to emphasize my message on how much I hate spiders.
- I agree that was not the nicest thing to do, and it could be a bad influence on younger generations.
- All of the people calling me a terrible and cruel human being ... I bet 99% of you have intentionally killed hundreds if not thousands of spiders, flies, moths, ants, mosquitoes in your home... So I really do not understand what makes you think you're any better. Just because it's in "your" territory doesn't make it any less of a "murder".
- Just by driving to work we kill hundreds of bugs, so one more really makes no difference. But you know what does make a difference.. the amount of trash I pick up from nature every week… So before you judge me, ask yourself what have you done to help nature?
That's it from my side... I'm not gonna be replying to hateful comments anymore, so do as you please.
Its all good bro dont listen to those haters
you are wrong! deliberate killing is not the same as conscious killing? right?
Comparing killing a random harmless spider for fun to killing bugs with your car going to work (which is inevitable) and killing mosquitoes which can transmit diseases is really stupid. You could have stopped at admitting you're wrong without grasping at straws
just let them be we eat animals every day
You're all good bro, I hate spiders too;)
Great video, as usual. I find it very inspiring. Don't worry about the spider, people are too sensitive, they eat millions of chicken grown in terrible and inuman farms and worry about a single spider
Thank you brother! ❤️
I’m glad not everyone thinks that I’m a cold blooded murderer 🙃
No reason at all for killing that spider. It had the same right to live free in the mountain as u had. Nice vid btw.
True. I respect your opinion, and looking back on the situation I shouldn't have done that.
I'm not making any excuses, but how many mosquitoes, flies, ants, and bacteria have you killed, or anyone here on earth?
Your house is standing on millions of dead insects that were killed when the house was built.
Others would say it's okay to kill if it's poisonous, but why? You're still killing an insect...
And even if you try your best to not kill any of these annoying creatures, you're still gonna accidentally kill a ton of them, so why is it such a big deal…
I Just think you shouldn't even if other people do. That's it. Btw it's ok.
@@andrazegart spiders have an important place in the ecosystem. While the mosquito is the biggest human killer, so maybe we need to get some revenge :))). Letting spiders live also help with that.
@@vladgeorgescu4049killing one spider didn't change anything. In the US alone, 32.5 TRILLION insects die every year from people stepping over.
Lastly, foraging insects or fishing for food is an essential element of bush craft.
If you follow other outdoor adventure channels, you'll probably get a heart attack because they hunt for animals with a gun. Fishing is the bare minimum. So please be sensible and enjoy the adventure.
Don't oversensitize it. No need ...

Well we would probably die, if spiders suddenly disappeared :D
“If spiders disappeared, we would face famine” - Norman Platnick
Spiders eat tons of insects which would otherwise destroy our crops.
Food for thought. Literally :D
I am well aware of that… everything is here for a reason.
It was just a joke… it’s not like anyone can completely extinct such an animal, and even if they could, they wouldn’t because of the obvious reasons you just stated.
@@andrazegart I know it was a joke but I'm guessing you don't like spiders in either case :D
you lost me after killing a spider. mosquitos man, those are the enemy, not a fellow 8 legged climber
Nice

You’re the goat 🙌
Sta ti je pauk smetao 👎👎👎👎
I was enjoying the video until the spider died
So true.
Yes, that ruined so much of my otherwise pleasurable watch. Why do it? It just made him look an idiot. Who gives you the right to kill a living being say if it not threatening you? The whole line of arguing that there are billions of insects killed daily is irrelevant here. Itis about the act itself and the context.@@maurobassi4538
Looks like a fun day out!!
It sure was a nice day to wrap up the winter season! 🙏😊
Love the mountain spirit you got sir!! Always showing us what a lil climbing can do for the soul !
Thank you very much! 🙏😊
I don't get how people can be upset about a person killing a spider... Great video, ignore those weird folks 🔥
Sorry, missed your comment on this one 😅.
Yeah, I really don’t get it either… but to each their own :)
I’ve killed many spiders, I guess I’m a murderer too, and I hope to be adventurous like you one day man, you’re an inspiration! Spider Killer 😂 jk
Hahah thank you fellow spider hater🙌
Very cool climb, coming up out of the cave was a nice feature!
Thank you 🙌
Yeah, that’s definitely the highlight of the route!
Hi Andraz. Yes it has been quite a storm for you .... off the mountain this time. I will make my personal observations , and leave it at there. I was saddened by you killing the spider - disappointed as well. You see I think of you as a very mature young man who loves nature, the mountains, the quiet solitude , and that extends to thinking that you respect the lives of others out there. I think you still are, but your dislike (hate) of spiders led to an unfortunate on-camera moment. You are not a murderer - one negative consequence of social media is that people feel its ok to be abusive. Yes we all have killed bees,flies,wasps etc., although nowadays I try very hard to leave things alone unless they want to bite/sting me etc.. My last observation is that spiders etc.,etc have as much right to life as I do, and hence I try to respect that ........ sometimes of course I fail!
So for me the matter is over. Lets get back to your adventures eh?
Best wishes
Hey,
Thank you, I apprecite you took the time to share your thoughts on the matter!
You’re right. I’m not proud of what I did, because even if it’s “just a spider”, it doesn’t compliment the respect I have for the nature.
I could easily delete out the part of the video after the first critics rolled in, but I didn’t and never will, because I own my mistakes.
So yeah, I did what I did, because of my hate towards spiders.
It wasn’t nice in any way, but for me personally it did not feel like I did anything wrong.
But I do know that stepping on spiders for fun could be bad influence on younger generations because it could make them think it’s okay to be disrespectful against nature.
Which is the exact opposite of what I want to do.
I’ve learned from my mistake and will not be doing that again!
Kind regards.
11:27 why kill that spider ?
His cousin bit me once…
because he is a conscious human being.
jajajajaj que risas con la araña 🤣 curioso que no tengas miedo a escalar montañas heladas pero te sí que tengas miedo de una araña de 1 cm 🤣 eres un crack, tus videos molan muchísimo! Saludos desde España
you killing the spider ruined the whole vid tbh
Cry about it mate.
what does the spider do? He's climbing! like you!
Chillax guys give the guy a break about that spider. Do not tell me you have never eaten meat in your whole life, then why not talk about the thousands of chickens that are killed everyday. Maybe it was not the best thing to do to kill that spider but everyone makes mistakes.
Thank you!
Yup… it wasn’t the nicest thing to do, but still some people love to take the high horse as soon as they get the chance :)
There are far more important problems in today’s world than someone killing a spider…
What the fuck man, that spider bit, not cool
How you manage to mount the camera to the ice pickaxe like what accessories you using to do it
I’ve got a homemade setup. Basically just waterproof glue, some zipties and rubber holding the basic gopro mount fixed to the ice axe permanently :)
Ty for inspiring me to get into the mountaineering world🙏❤
It means a lot to hear that 🧡
Cheers my friend 🙌
Great adventure man. Love you passion for the sport. Keep it up! Looking forward to the next one
Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words 🙏
right now you are my fav youtuber
Thank you, I really really appreciate that 😊🙏
I really like your video and have a lot of respect for you… but killing the spider wasn't right…
Thank you.
You’re right. Not my proudest moment 🙃
@@andrazegart Nobody’s perfect, mate. We all make mistakes occasionally, but what truly matters is reflecting on them, learning from them, and becoming a better person as a result.
Compliments!! You are very brave, but at the same time, despite being very young, you are attentive and scrupulous. Good luck and always keep your eyes open!!💪💪
Thank you very much! 😊
All the best to you too & stay safe! 🙌
great video i enjoyed it so much ty for filming it
On the second try his climbing partner forgot to bring his gloves. On the third try Andraz forgot to bring that climbing partner.
Hahahhah best comment yet 😂😂.
But in all seriousness, there were no hard feelings. That can happen to anyone, so it’s not a big deal.
I even lent him my gloves since I thought I could manage without, but the wind and the fresh snow falling down the route made me change my mind after the first 5m of the route haha.
Not good - spider incident !
Not my proudest moment… but hey, it’s just a spider… eveyone is killing bugs in their houses all the time, and why is that any better?
And just by walking we kill hundreds of bugs accidentaly everyday…
At least that’s my view on what seems to be a very controversial topic…
I stand by my actions, so yeah… it is what it is.
Give it a break
No, Andraž. Forget that it's a spider. Don't try to minimise and rationalise the matter. That was an ugly thing to do in itself and most importantly, why did you think it important to include it in the video. This was to promote some weird opinion or position of yours. You could have easily left it out of the video, but you didn't. Do you know, why?@@andrazegart
very cool video! I also fear spiders, I'm always afraid to find them inside bivouacs! This doesn't stop me but do you have any advice to face this fear? :D
Thank you!
Hahah same here… if there was a storm outside and spiders inside the bivouac, I’d probably sleep outside 😂.
Oof sorry, I wish I could help, but I don’t have any advice.
I feel like it’s best to just stay away from them, because whenever a spider jumps in my face, I have PTSD for at least a month 😂
Great video! You filmed and composed it well. Love the simplicity. Been doing my first year of ice/mixed climbing, so it's nice to relive it with the videos!
Thank you, I really appreciate it! 😊
I’m happy to hear that 🙌. I wish you all the best on your future climbs!
brings me joy watching this one🤩wishing you safe adventures in this risky spring time🤗and the gear information you posted, so useful!! Thanks for all the effort you put in.
Thank you very much for the kind words! 🙏🙏
And I’m really happy to hear you found the information useful 🙌😊
Nice Video. I absolutely love your videos. Yesterday I climbed Begunjščica Veliki vrh with my skis via the Centralna grapa. Was really fun. Thanks for inspiring me for my skitours.
Thank you for the kind words brother 😊
I’m really happy to hear you had a great time on Begunjščica 🙌
The skiing season is not over yet, so have fun & stay safe on your trips 😀
Andraž, super. Mi je pa všeč, da sedaj tudi napišeš, kater gor so v okilici iz razgledov, da lahko spoznamo ,kje si se potepal! :)
Hvala! 😊
Me veseli to slišat, tako da bom še naprej probal čimveč označevat :)
Thanks I loved going along on the adventure with you. Great route that you made look easy with your mad skills and experience.
Thank you brother!
I appreciate the kind words 🙏❤️
spiders or mosquitoes?
What?
You said if you could eliminate one thing from the world, that would be spiders. But if you ask me mosquitos are worth
Your videos are great
Thank you! 🙏
Love the view! Planning to visit Veliki vrh and Košuta ridge next month. Can't wait!
Thank you! I wish you all the best on your journey 😊
top video se enkrat, kokr si zacel plezat pride sine in prav, uhh again this man climbing to the mountain haha.
Hvala!
Hahah sine legenda 🤣 pozdravi ga v mojem imenu 😀
Kaksen colab z vidom pintaricom nebi skodil. Ubijalski duo🤠
Sva ze nekaj govorila da bi kaksno skupno turo spet uzgala, tako da definitivno, ko bo cas :)
Great video, as are all the others! How do you know so much about mountaneering at such a young age? Have you been doing it since you were a little kid? I'm jealous!
Thank you my friend!
I started with mountaineering at the age of 18.
I’m just very passionate about it, so I think that’s the main reason I progressed quickly :)
@@andrazegart That is inspiring!
Bravo care.Varno in srečno na vseh podvigih,pazi nase.Lp🙏💯👍⛰️🥾🦅
Najlepša hvala! 🙏😊
greetings from switzerland! keep up the good content :P
Thank you brother!
Cheers from Slovenia 🙌
Ignore the drama queens bro keep it up and stay safe out there
Thank you brother, much appreciated 🙏
One question what is your backpack :)?
Millet peuterey integrale 35+10 :)
Third time is the charm. Good climb, Congrats.
Indeed 🙌 thank you brother 😊
your miniatures are more and more beautiful
I really appreciate that! 😊
Man that route looked to be in rough condition
Yup, the warm temperatures are doing it’s thing… Spring is not the best time for climbing :)
What is that base layer shirt called?
The grey one is FXR merino, and the blue one is Ortovox rock’n’wool.
Challenging and beautiful route!
Thank you! It was indeed :)
Not good, man. For now, I'm just taking "like" back.
Shooo!
Shoooo!
Prontarska?
Tako je :)
Prontarska? 🫣
Tako je :)
Chossy Karavanke :D very nice!
Indeed 😀 thank you! 😊
I used to like your videos (and technically I still do). But then, for no reason at all, you go and kill a small harmless creature that merely wants to survive in its harsh environment. That changed my opinion about you in a very disappointing way.
I respect your opinion.
But I’m gonna ask you two things…
Have you ever killed an insect (bug, spider, fly, mosquito, ant…) in your home?
And what makes you think you’re any better if you did it just because you had a reason to do it?
Just by walking you accidentally kill a ton of ants and bugs daily, so why is it such a big deal if I kill just one more spider?
Are you vegan? Do you understand essentials of bush craft? If you're stuck in the mountains eating insects and fishing become your means of survival. Most outdoors youtubers do fishing and cook meat. Some even hunt deers and rabbit.
Please use common sense here and be more sensible. Killing an insect isn't the end of the world.
You have no idea how many insects you kill every year unknowingly. 32.5 trillion insects die in the US from people stepping over.
@@andrazegart Accidentally is HUGELY diffrent from deliberately
@@umessi10 there is a HUGE difference between killing animals accidentally, for survival or self-defence, than for fun
@@Pomi3001 that was just an example from one research i found in the internet. People also eradicate insects to keep their homes clean and sanitized. Insects and rodents are bad for homes. Regardless, of you aren't vegan we shouldn't even be having conversation because meat is eaten for fun and not for survival. Plant based food is equally nutritious and has a magnitude of difference in carbon footprint and water body regulation.
Point I'm trying to make is to not make a big deal out of this when there are far worse content out there.
Kid, what you did there with the fellow being up on the mountain was far from right. Both of you were solo climbing a mountain. The mountain gave you a chance to not do what you did. But you did it anyway and even let the whole world know by posting your kill on YT. You stepped on your fellow climber, without any real reason other than your childhood trauma.
Every being deserves to live a good life and die in peace, no matter how many of their species exist. Just because there's millions of spiders, that does not give you any right to kill one.
No wonder you are solo climbing, you obviously do not love your self!
Instead of killing other innocent solo-climbers on the mountain, try doing a regression and learn about why you hate the little creatures. The answer is surely hidden in your early childhood, just remember who told you that spiders are not good and why???
If you do nothing about your limited view on spiders, if you do not improve your self, and learn to love your self, then, one day, someone bigger than you, will step on you and squash you up.
Do zdaj vsi videi vso spoštovanje! Danes si ga zgubil, brez potrebe si ubil nemočnega pajka, ki ni bil grožnja!! Hladnokrvni umor! Imej malo spoštovanja do vseh živih bitij!!
dej model ne pretiravej ... ti ziher nisi "Hldnokrvno" ubil kakšne muhe , komarja aa ? Prej malo premisli preden kaj napišeš .
Hahah funny to see how many people mentions the spider . Silly little people...do it as you wish Andraž 💪🏼
It's just not good manners... you don't kill for absolutely no reason
@@larslodge928232.5 trillion insects die every year from people stepping over in the US alone. It's not a big deal.
Most people complaining aren't even vegan. If you drink milk or eat meat, you have no right to complain about killing of an insect.
@@larslodge9282 the world will spin and time will go on...if he killed one spider or 2000. I hope you look before your every step not to squish a few dosen of ants,or maybe a few spiders,or maybe snails,all sort of bugs. If not..then your comments and opinion are not important as you think.
@@goranurlic712 Do you truly not want to understand what this is about? It’s not just about there being one less spider on this earth. I myself am likely responsible for the deaths of millions of insects by driving a car, flying in airplanes, walking around, etc. But that’s not the point. The issue is that an animal was deliberately and unnecessarily killed with full intention, without any benefit to anyone or anything. That is simply morally reprehensible, and if you don’t understand that, then I just feel sorry for you.
@@larslodge9282 are you a vegan? If not, you have no right to complain. btw spiders are not animals but insects. Someone suffering from arachnophobia cannot help it. Let's not demotivate the kid for the small incident. I'm sure he'll learn and continue to make great content. There are far worse content creators who do much worse on day to day basis.
