    This is insane! I only know one other person (from a documentary I watched) in the world who does free-solo climbing like this.
    How is this guy not world famous already?? This guy needs more recognition.
    I hope you stay safe dude.

    Hey Andraz,
    I really enjoy your Videos.
    I like your mountaineering-style and how you love the mountains.
    But i have to say since you start your solo-ice climbing journeys i start to worry about you.
    I am not an expert in ice iceclimbing, but from all i know i believe that this wont go good forever. Just because you can never really predict the behaviour of the ice of every step of a ice climbing Route.
    And i "lost" already some alpine youtubers who uploaded once their last video video.
    Maybe you think about that and speak with some really Experienced guides how they think about that stuff.
    Of course i keep enjoying all of your vids and hope you will be safe all along your alpine career.
    Cheers, Felix from Germany

    • @andrazegart
      @andrazegart  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you, I really appreciate it!
      But please stop with these negative thoughts…
      First of all… I am a professional and am well aware of what I’m doing and what kind of risks I’m taking.
      Second… well prepared free solo in a controlled environment within your limits can be safer than most long winter alpine hard routes on rope…
      third… I do not plan to stop climbing anytime soon, and people who comment such things do more harm than good…
      Alpinism is a mental game, and when you constantly read comments about falling and dying, such stuff can get in your head without even knowing… which makes you question your abilities and makes it more dangerous.
      And lastly, I don’t plan to push the limits of free soloing. I know I’ve done a lot of soloing the past year, but I’m for sure gonna do less of it in the future.

    Pay attention to safety. I just got into ice climbing last week. I learned quickly after training for two days. However, two serious accidents occurred at our training base and someone died, so it is better to be careful.

    • @andrazegart
      @andrazegart  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice, I wish you all the best with your ice climbing!
      Wow, what kind of “training base” is that?!?
      Beginners should be starting in a safe environment on top rope with minimal risk.

    • @Cycle_1337
      @Cycle_1337 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yes.we all top rope first.The two people who died were both coaches. One made a very low-level mistake (he slipped on his left foot while stepping on the right foot and then slid all the way to the bottom. The other was a pioneer who fell while hanging the rope and hit his head on the ice wall)@@andrazegart

    I want to start rock climbing with a friend, we'll go to a bouldering gym regularly and then wanted to go rock climb, but do we need an instructor for that or can we learn it ourselves?

    • @petertheduke1
      @petertheduke1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      if you watch certified tutorials and practice allot then there is no reason to do it yourself. climbing is dangerous and if you don't make sure you know everything honestly you may hurt yourself or worse and then maybe never climb or even worse be stuck in a bed for the rest of your life. take responsibility by being honest with how much you know before you climb outside and start slow. all the gear needed to do 1 sport route is actually not cheap . you need like 14 quick draws at a minimum. if you look how much information is available online compared to olden days you should be fine using certified online video.

      @andrazegart  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Thank you! I really appreciate that 🙏
      Although online videos are great and all, but I still recommend attending a course for sport climbing in person, because you’re gonna learn a lot more, and it’s gonna be much safer than gathering experience on your own!
      And if you wish to progress from sport climbing into trad/alpine/ice climbing, then alpine courses are mandatory!
      Good luck 🙌😊

    Nice video, very interesting!!!!!
    She told the truth (never climb with other climbers above us)
    very dangerous due to the pieces of ice that can hit us!!!
    One thing that amazed me was climbing without gloves!!!!!!

      It’s best to look for “dents/valleys” in the ice, because the “hills/bumps” are more likely to break.
