classic tassie adventure. love the comment "we got 5 turns in pretty nice snow". I think that sums it all up lol
"Botanically Intensive" is going to get used a lot
I might have to say that looks like one of the gnarliest ski ascents/ descents I have seen. Took some true grit. Hard men for sure.
I've dragged a full trad rack up that track before, to do routes on Bechervaise face, but watching you doing it in snow with skis, made me feel like we had it easy!
Awesome effort!
Wow. like hundreds of other people I've done the full traverse of the Eastern Arthur Range in summer, I felt I'd achieved a lot but I knew that was as much as my body could ever manage. But to do Feder in winter with skis is just amazing. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Absolutely awesome objective. Huge respect thanks for sharing. Champions!
Absolute mad men! Fantastic effort, great doco, iconic peak, not so iconic conditions. : )
So good fellas. Gets me pumped to head into the hills.
This is great. And kudos for actually walking away when you realized it was not skiable.
Definitely the gnarliest climb up i've ever seen, Hats off to you guys thats fucking sick
Ummm, Is there no helicopter drop off? Fark, that walk... You guys have an acute case of terminal wanderlust!
This is a true astonishing aussie feat! Congratulations boys
Bad ass boys!
Cheers Cody! I was just watching your Mt Stimson video today and definitely felt some sympathy.
Wait, what!!? (11:05) Yep, climbed Federation Peak in 2008. We took the easy route and thought it was dangerous (it was). This is dangerous x 100. Respect.
Mad effort! Wangling skis up moss ridge must have made you want to snap them in half!
Awesome lads so sick
Definitely Type 2 fun. You guys are amazing!
Brutal. Well done.
Epic, insane, scary cool. Thanks for sharing.
So sick boys. Always wanted to do the climb in winter, but with skis too? Solid effort thanks for sharing.
Simply gobsmacking. Big kudos to the both of you for the logistics, endeavour and decision making. 💪 👌 🎩
what an effort. Well done guys!
This needs way more love!
So insane!!
Legitimately incredible, fellas. You're both psychotic, but I'm in awe of the achievement.
Probably one of the most technical lines/ approaches in Oz?
Need deeper softer snow. Fkn mad effort guys
Reading the heading, I thought it must be a mistake. Maybe there’s another Federation Peak.
You blokes are f&$@ing nuts!
What a monumental feat!
I can't tell you how mad this is, because you already know
Quick question how long have you and your buddy been skiing
Top attempt Ben. You do like suffering.
Mentally deranged behaviour. I love it, this is awesome, coolest shit ive seen in a while
This sum real mountaineer shit
Makes our Mt Ossa climb with Shaun look like a veritable walk in the park.
Nice run👍
Solid effort. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to part 2!
That looked like hell
Hey ben can you draw the route and publish it on fat map😀
Epic!
No shame in knowing your limits and pulling out when the risk/return trade off doesn’t make sense. Well done fellas. You’re both crazy, but a safe level of crazy 😝
This is some truly next level adventure shit boys!! Outstandingly entertaining film, I hope it goes viral and makes you some money coz you certainly earned it!! 😀
100% for effort!
Madness.
Major kudos to you.
Winter might offer the best chance of enough snow but when I climbed Fed Pk in January 92 it snowed for a night and the next day at not much above sea level.
Ben, that bush whack montage at the start alone had me smashing the thumbs up button!
You can bet the house that Cody Townsend won’t be taking time off from the fifty project to ski this line.
❤❤❤
Committed stuff fellas, well done!
'Oh, the easy bit of skiing.....looks s***!' 🤣
UNDERATEDDDDDD
Great effort guys. I would like to add that I had a similar decision to make many years ago when attempting a 3000 meter in the Austrian Alps. It was a day climb with a lady friend. Both of us were reasonably experienced in those days. We were late teenagers. We had arrived at the last 30 meters and the only way up to the peak was on the sunless side vertical stone and ice. We had good boots but no ropes and no ice picks. Did not need that for the rest of the climb. We stood there with absolute wonder and serious trepidation. My friend said we should give it a go. I said wait a moment. I checked it closer and saw that the entire holds were totally iced up hard. The drop on that side of the mountain was 3000 feet at 80 degrees straight down with no ledges or forest or anything. Death absolute if you went for a spill. The reason why I am making this statement is to remind all enthusiasts that although we both felt defeated by the decisions we also both had a great lunch, played with the birds and then descended to live our lives. Sometimes it needs to be done. You did the same and and I applaud that.
epic
Nice one Ben, looks epic! :)
Top effort boys very ballsy of you both....part 2 let's go
Mate this is insssane! Can't believe there's not more views! Can't wait to go here one day to fly it!
Wow! Just Wow!
Abskiing LOL!!
hectic
Dedication right there!! Congrats fellas!
The winter olympics needs this.
Brilliant work fellas. Thanks for sharing
What an awesome video!
This is truly epic.
I'm itchy again. In summer 2018 we done Fed as an overnighter. Bivi'ing on the summit. The highlight of my SW missions. Thanks for the video, it was great.
Huge effort guys. Well Done.
You guys aren’t just hikers you’re the ultimate adventure explorers, the type of thing you’d read about in nat geo and see in those wild blockbuster documentaries. What an extraordinary place.
Now that's epic!
Awesome
Super impressive effort!
