and here am I, thinking I'm the coolest kid on the block whenever I ski something that is 45° in perfect condition. So much respect for these dudes on pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
your guardian angel is exhausted. you are a legend and have my upmost respect, but that bit with the skis and the tools (you know those are too light and it showed) was sketch. like the bad kind of sketch. the sketch that gives the chop even to the best. With age comes wisdom and Im glad that you are mostly through these types of proving grounds. And coming with respect I can’t even articulate. Your talent is pure and amazing. True inspiration.
Recently, i saw The Trollvegen (Troll Wall) in june and it's really impressive. But there's no word to describe the Kilian Jornet's performance in winter. Awesome !!!
Except for the two places where its actually wide enough to make a turn this doesn't really look like skiing to me. Where do you draw the line between skiing and downclimbing with skis on so you can say you skied it. Nevertheless great achievement and Kilian is an exceptional athlete
Yeah, I don't know how to feel about this video. I get that it's an amazing achievement, but I don't consider that to be skiing. I'm not belittling the guys accomplishment. It's pretty crazy to do it, let alone on skis, but I just can't call this skiing. Props to this nutjob for having the balls to do it though. Respect.
@@dethwisper yeah the skis literally do nothing for this, they don't add security, they don't save energy or add speed. They're just a liability, just downclimbing with crampons on would take less effort and time. Cant even really say you skied it so much as say that on the way down you wore skis for no particular reason. I've seen a number a couloirs done in similar fashion and can't say I see the appeal.
Well if he had gone over the other side of the troll wall he wouldve been going a lot faster....and needed a parachute to boot. Love killians stuff. In age of mobile phones he is out there livin it
Kilian made us stare at the Solomon logo on his helmet, skis, t-shirt, and at the bottom of the screen for almost 9 minutes LoL I now understand why is it called a Troll Wall :)
I am a big fan of yours Killian, especially your love for nature and for being outside respecting nature and I believe deep in my heart that you should search within the deepest part of you if there is another way to evolve besides making just another incredible dangerous thing. I have been through the same road you're on, not so dangerous of course but honestly it looked to me that next time you could do that descent with the hands behind your back or with clown shoes just to increase difficulty. Sorry for the opinion and thanks for the inspiration in so many things.
Y despues sale Messner en "Path to Evetest" diciendo que Killian no es alpinista, no me jodas! Autentico ski-alpinismo, pero menuda bajada extrema, cracken!! Mola ver los que no salieron nunca de pistas ni de remontes mecanicos escupiendo sandeces, "isti ni is isquiir, isti ni is autintiqui isquiii.. ", a pastaar! Y disfrutar de cracks de esta talla!
That's some crazy stuff there Kilian, happy you got out of it alive! Maybe it's time to retire soon-ish and just live a happy life in the Norwegian mountains?
My uncle and his friends climbed the troll wall in the winter 20 years ago. At the top they got chaught by a avalanche and they fell from the top to the bottom. My uncle and one off his friends survived, but too off his friends died that day. The trollwall is a wall that is extremly risky to climb. And its such a sight to see in person. Hope that people that climb this wall are carefule.
Hmmm i don‘t get the point. I see that this is physicaly demanding, more then the best of the average can bring, but that is not skiing, it was climbing up and mostly climbing down on skis. Sorry
@@Cactar8 my guess is because he's paid to do extreme shit in order for Solomon to pay him. Also, I've got a feeling he may be insane because in the videos where he does this kind of nonsense he is never with a partner
@@ritzyllama There's extremely few who can do this, let alone do this and not be a danger to others in the team. Any extreme skier would know what I'm trying to say... As for the "not skiing" part, this is 60 degrees. And it's riddled with ice parts, drops, and twist and turns. He _HAS_ to do it this way, if he wants to live. I feel a bit dumb for having to explain this.....
oh man that's so otherworldly unimaginable. What sheer steepness and in part really icy ! Deep bow in front of this epic achievement. Is this the most difficult ski descent on the planet (because of the brutal combination of length, steepness and technical challenges)?
Super impressive but not that aesthetic / appealing for me. Downclimbing ice with skis on is kind of like drytooling in summer - sure it can be really hard but meh.
Technically he's on skis on snow, but yeah give me powder and trees any day. That no hands hand switch whilst standing on an ice crag wearing skis, f that!!!
Hey Fernando, we've got a lot of content shot in North America, check out our episodes here: tv.salomon.com/channel/freeski-touring The Bon Appetit Ski crew went skiing in Yukon, Watch Bon Appetit: Yukon we also spent a few days out at Mica Lodge: Watch Mica: One More Round and our man Mike Douglas went to Japan in SalomonTV "Fountain of Youth": Full Story - Fountain Of Youth and plenty more. Hope you enjoy these episodes! 👊🏻
Franchement c'est époustouflant ce que fait KJ . Il aborde une nouvelle discipline et dépasse encore les limites . Cette soif inextinguible de performances , jusqu'ici il en maîtrisait les risques par sa très grande connaissance de la montagne . Ne franchit il pas la une limite , dans cette course effrénée vers l'extrême ? Ueli Steck n'est plus de ce monde , pourtant il était le meilleur , le plus rapide de sa discipline . Ou est la marge de sécurité qu'à toujours eu KJ dans ses performances ?
surtout que maintenant il a une 3e bouche a nourrir, je me demande si c'est facile de s'exposer au danger de sa passion et a la responsabilité de sa famille en même temps, il a beaucoup moins le droit de prendre de risques. Au passage, hâte de voir ce que deviendra son fils...
I’ve skied for 48 years now, I watch all the alpine content. I’m a fan , but that wasn’t skiing, that was just survival with skis on. I don’t get it but I think it does convey the line to me. I am not interested in attempting anything like troll wall!! In fact I think I enjoy skiing, you know fluid smooth turns, trees, park style, pow days , light and fun touring... but not this corner of alpine danger!
After Travis Rice rode and Cody Townsend skied that crack in Alaska, I’m just not impressed by this kind of trek anymore. I know, I know Ice and so many other perils that make it difficult but still.
Sicuramente un grande atleta, ma cosa ha a che fare una discesa come questa è come tante altre discese estreme con la bellezza dello sciare e dell'andar per monti? Al mio paese si dice, il troppo stroppia.
if its too steep to make turns down its not really being skiied in my opinion. its quite an impressive feat but i think its hard to call it skiing when you have to sidestep, repel, and jumpturn your way down. id just call it ski climbing or somthing
Actually he is not really skiing... not that is possible but he is not doing it either. Just surviving. Which is incredible by the way, giving the conditions he is in.
"skiing"? I dont really see why i should downclimb an ice route with skis on my feet. Is the most extreme skiing going to be an overhanging wall rappelled down with skis on?
When skill overcomes insanity... I was gripped for you Kilian! Bravo!!!
Word.
7:33 That part is really scary! Poor ice for the axes and icy for the skis. Good that he takes his time.
and here am I, thinking I'm the coolest kid on the block whenever I ski something that is 45° in perfect condition. So much respect for these dudes on pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
🙏🏻
Kilian Jornet is one amazing athlete! Very inspiring video
He sure is!
Thanks for the subtitles for all of us single language speaking Americans....
Gave me shivers all the way and then film ends like that haha. What a legend
You got hikers, climbers and basejumpers on the troll wall...and this crazy dude!! Yolo!!
Troll wall . I love this Mountains.
That was the gnarliest thing I've ever seen. Ima just keep skiing pow, myself.

Flippante cette plaque de verglas verticale à la fin
Ce qui me fait flipper c'est quand il lâche les 2 mains
Best athlete of the century !!!
🙏🏻
When your S Lab ski sticks and cuts into the wall like a welding torch...trust it and stand on it ... great for Salomon and Kilian.
Un extraterrestre !!! C'est qui le boss. Bravo
🙏🏻💪🏻
Super piste verte! Je recommande, vivement qu'ils installent un télésiège.
Well if he had gone over the other side of the troll wall he wouldve been going a lot faster....and needed a parachute to boot. Love killians stuff. In age of mobile phones he is out there livin it
What a line! Insane to most of people but makeable for Kilian. I hope I will develope in the direction of that kind of skill. Stay alive;)
Crazy, crazy, crazy!!! Super impressive!!!
I'm big fan of Kilian since I red his first book. Now running to be like him one day :)
💪🏻💪🏻
Kilian made us stare at the Solomon logo on his helmet, skis, t-shirt, and at the bottom of the screen for almost 9 minutes LoL
I now understand why is it called a Troll Wall :)
😂
I was on a 60 degree Schlepplift (T-bar lift) last weekend and it made my legs wobble. I felt it was an accomplishment.
That must have been 60%, not degrees. Thats still very steep for a schlepplift though.
Ive been there, i cant believe thats Even possible
Ollie my family own the farm called Fiva at the base of this mountain
that's a not calculable risk. Kilian won't get old, like Ueli, if he keeps on doing such things...
It's... STEEP!
Those camera lens distortions make it hard to get a feel for the actual conditions. That said, kudos to Killian on another amazing feat!
Impressionnant !

graaaandeeee hermano !!! bravo !!
That's a new discipline there - a mix of free soloing and skiing
it's called SKI-SOLOING 😄⚡️
07:35 Really ?!!
I know right. At what point are you not skiing anymore :/
Even with crampons it looks scary ! But in steep ski there is a logic to keep ski "beyond reason" ... but reason is not the same to all of us...
Looks like a good day of skiing in New Hamapshire!
The video doesn't go much beyond that point, but I think they got him off the cliff with a helicopter or on foot.
Yes it is
C’est vraiment incroyable!
It doesn't exactly look like a fun ski down to me. But everyone has their own interpretation of "fun". Definitely a great accomplishment.
What a madman! So sick
Scary. Absolutely zero room for the slightest error.
My family own the Fiva farm at the base of this mountain!!
Nice backdrop 😍
😳😱😲😵🤔...😉 Wow !!!!! 👌💪👏👏👏👏👏 😍 Super Kiki !!!!...😘😉
The link that brought me here said there would be skiing? All I saw was side slipping and down climbing.
Bravo !
Amazing skying
😉

Sorry to hear about this sad story. It's indeed a very spectacular place to see and climb.
supercool ....absolutley crazy
🙌🏻
if you have to use the ice axes its not skying, its climbing with skies on the feet. without wanting to say it’s easy, of course its a performance!
there was zero skiing on this video. ski is flow. where is no flow, there is no skiing. so, zero accomplishment. only danger. who cares.
EL MEJOR . UNA MAQUINA PERFECTA.
💪🏻💪🏻
Hmmm i don‘t get the point. I see that this is physicaly demanding, more then the best of the average can bring, but that is not skiing, it was climbing up and mostly climbing down on skis. Sorry
but climbing up and down on skis isnt it the very essence of skiing ?
I wanted to say the same but there were so many ppl praising him.
Yeah, I prefer to go up somewhere and then enjoy the ride down. So if it's not worth the ride like here, I woudn't bother.
Most “firsts” these days are pretty pointless
lol have you ever skied ?
That's not skiing. That's climbing down with skis on.
I cant help but wonder why the fuck anyone would do this.
Mac Tek well yeah. A bit too steep to ski on 😨
@@Cactar8 my guess is because he's paid to do extreme shit in order for Solomon to pay him. Also, I've got a feeling he may be insane because in the videos where he does this kind of nonsense he is never with a partner

This is too sick
🙌🏻
Si passes per Trondheim avisa, farem una birra!
Is there a way to watch the sequel to this video?
7:35 Mantul iki, better skis than crampons 😂 edan tenan 👍
oh man that's so otherworldly unimaginable. What sheer steepness and in part really icy ! Deep bow in front of this epic achievement. Is this the most difficult ski descent on the planet (because of the brutal combination of length, steepness and technical challenges)?
It probably is among the most technical and difficult ones for sure.
Super impressive but not that aesthetic / appealing for me. Downclimbing ice with skis on is kind of like drytooling in summer - sure it can be really hard but meh.
exactly my thoughts.
Yes, seems strange to me
Un géant un artiste impressionnant 😉
trailer légendaire, skieur extrême et au delà de l'extrême...Killian est un ovni
At what point is this just down climbing with skis on?
Super!
👊🏻
Crazy crazy guy which is why I love him!!!
😅
Freaking incredible.
Impressive, right? 🙌🏻
What are the animal tracks up there? Unbelievable!
Crazy!!
I admit the guys has balls of Hercules, but hey, let’s face it, this is not Skiing.
Chris yep. Call it like it is
It is why it is called ski alpinism :)
Skiing has many faces. One of them is Killian and Andrzej Bargiel.
@@wojtekszatkowski8556 no skiing.- sorry.
Technically he's on skis on snow, but yeah give me powder and trees any day. That no hands hand switch whilst standing on an ice crag wearing skis, f that!!!
That was an incredible accomplishment. The video needs two things: subtitles and an ending.
It has subtitles 😊 check the settings
Is there a part two to this video? What happens?! lol
he sends it. he's kilian
Kilian 😍
💪🏻
Amazing how he skis such a steep mountain, walking is one thing skiing is another this cant be categorized as walking on skis
Holy crap!
Whished that Salomon can do more videos in Canada, AK and North West of the US ! or Japan!!!! Thanks
salomon freeski is your zone for that stuff.

Wow!
Magique...
It's not skiing. Wanna see steep skiing? Watch "La Liste" with Jeremie Heitz.I't s still amazing though;)
Piotrek Labecki or zabardast
Vivian Bruchez or Paul Bonhomme ;)
I am gonna try that with a pair of fins and call it skin Alpine diving
What I don't get is why take skies if you walk down more than half of it anyway?
Where's lobg material about Bargiel and K2 ride ??!!!
Grande Kilian
💪🏻
Actually, today the maximum steepness it is possible to ride is a full 70 degrees or 275% gradients. For a big surprice.
I love skiing, also climbing, but what was point of this?
to prove that its possibile ,to become a legend while alive...nothing more than that...
I would've just sent it. LERRRRRRROYYY JENKINSSSSSS
The question is if he has chicken though? :-D
lolol @@GhostlyBG
No drone?????
Is that still considered skiing or just climbing with 2 sticks underneath your feet?
If I can't get to the top without ropes, I'm not going!
Franchement c'est époustouflant ce que fait KJ .

Is that a red or a black?
