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.
Thanks +++ for another adventure from Andraž and as always its notable for beautiful scenery well filmed and being quiet and well spoken commentary but in reality savage AF - loved it.
Another great video video. Great job. It would be nice to know or to let others see your rappel rig. Pass on some knowledge to those who haven't done rappelling before.
I also climb ice walls at High Tatras. We are so lucky to do this. I encourage everybody to try ice climbing. This is so different like the other climbing activity. I wish the best.
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
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.
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.
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
On my helmet I was using the Petzl Actik Core 600, but when I showed the waterfall for the first time I was also using my Armytek wizard C2 pro, because it’s brighter :)
Genuienly one of my favorite youtube channel! Im so hyped for every new video haha. 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?
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.
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 🙌😊
@@andrazegart thank you! Just went to my first bouldering session today :D Was lots of fun and i cant wait to one day go rock climbing. Thanks for taking the time to reply and I wish u the best in your climbs! :)

Thank you brother 🙏❤️ I really appreciate the kind words. We’ll see where the future takes me 😊 I see you’ve climbed some epic routes yourself! 🙌 Nice, congrats! I hope I get the chance to do some climbing in the high Alps as well 😊 Greetings from Slovenia 😀
What can I say that hasn't been said by all the other commentators?? Brilliant video, and commentary, and nicely climbed . The chilly swim is, well ...... ice cold. Not for me thanks. Take care on these solo ice routes ( I know you do, but watching is stressful!)
Thank you my friend! 🙏 It was fun while it lasted, but we got hit with some super warm weather so I think that’s it for ice climbing this season :) Back to mountaineering now 🙌
Yes but rarely these days. Some of it very good with a good 2-3 week freeze. But it can go within a day. Lots of mixed over the past few decades, but again, short lived. I used to fly to europe on cheap sj=ki deals back in the 80's and 90's. Now that's gone too. But we do have... The Chalk! @@andrazegart
quality content we love😌😍 I know you said the route was graded higher than the last one, so what grade is that? (ps: another awsome thumbnail, very appealing😊)
Thank you very much! 😊 This thumbnail took me even longer to make than the previous one 🙌🤣 The waterfall is called Drugi slap v Krnici and it’s graded WI4- 🙂
Thank you! Yeah, true. But mistakes are usually more likely to happen when you think the hard part is over and you lose the focus… (easy terrain after a hard climb or descending).
I like your videos but man... You will die before 30 if you contine doing this :( Remember Dominik Socha? You remind me of him... For the moment it looks like you do easy stuff but don't push your luck, there are not too many Alex Honnolds alive...
Exciting stuff! Good thing is, that we immediatley know that you survived, since you uploaded this video :) That looks like it was somewhere around Planina v Klinu 🏔
We gonna hear some amazin’ stuff by this young fella in the future for sure, i can feel it. 👑
I know right?! I'm thinking the same thing
@@dankozianski7943 He’s gonna rock the mountains! 🤟

I like the way you explain the small details,you are very skilled .
Thank you! 🙏
I try to make it understandable even for those who aren’t familiar with climbing 😊
babe wake up, new Andraž video
Hahaha 🙏🤣
Super underrated channel. I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos
Thank you!
I put my heart and soul into these videos, so I really appreciate that 🙏❤️
Thanks +++ for another adventure from Andraž and as always its notable for beautiful scenery well filmed and being quiet and well spoken commentary but in reality savage AF - loved it.

Hahah no, you’re the legend 🙌🤣

Loved the video ❤ always enjoy the amazing commentary as well 🤝🏼
Much appreciated brother! ❤️
@@andrazegart stay safe brother ! 🤝🏼
That upper hollow part is the stuff nightmares are made of.
Plunge at the end was dope! Nice way to wrap it up.
The best way to freshen up 🙌
I also climb ice walls at High Tatras. We are so lucky to do this. I encourage everybody to try ice climbing. This is so different like the other climbing activity. I wish the best.
I'm happy to hear that :)
Tatras are also on my list... maybe next winter.
All the best to you too!
Exciting as usual. Stay safe out there

Great video! Am very new to climbing - what method did you use to rappel?
awesome video like always! but what head lamp do you use? looks so bright!? 🤗

Great video as always. Where is this waterfall? Can you share the location?
Thank you!
It’s in the Krnica valley and it’s called Drugi slap v Krnici.
@@andrazegart Thanks
What would be your go-to ice axe if money wasn’t an issue?
Grivel the tech machine (the ones I already have).
What can I say that hasn't been said by all the other commentators?? Brilliant video, and commentary, and nicely climbed . The chilly swim is, well ...... ice cold. Not for me thanks. Take care on these solo ice routes ( I know you do, but watching is stressful!)

It was fun while it lasted, but we got hit with some super warm weather so I think that’s it for ice climbing this season :)
Back to mountaineering now 🙌
what do you look for when you're trying to find the spots to hook onto the ice?
It’s best to look for “dents/valleys” in the ice, because the “hills/bumps” are more likely to break.
Nice vid youth... When we get some ice in North Wales it often sounds like that. Whereabouts are you climbing?
Thank you!
Do you have any decent ice climbing in North Wales, or is it usually too warm?
I’m from Slovenia (Gorenjska region).
Yes but rarely these days. Some of it very good with a good 2-3 week freeze. But it can go within a day. Lots of mixed over the past few decades, but again, short lived. I used to fly to europe on cheap sj=ki deals back in the 80's and 90's. Now that's gone too. But we do have... The Chalk! @@andrazegart
