Thank you so much guys, for letting us see the unspeakable rewards of this climb! Having spent many years scrambling the Rockies around Rundle, I noticed Assiniboine as the very first peak I saw from Rundle that transfixed my interest. I always wondered what it would be like to climb that, but every time I looked at it, it looked like it would be a borderline experience for my capabilities, as I've never technical climbed. But this video shot is a virtual for me, and I'm so grateful to have been there with you in spirit!🙏
We did it in 1982, same route. 4 hours up from the hut but 5.5 hours down. It's a harder mountain to descend than to climb...take heed. We rapped the grey and the red bands but used our own slings and anchors in spite of the dozens up there. A really nice climb though, not real hard but not easy and kudos to anyone who tries it. It always keeps you awake! Interesting factoid...it is the highest point in the entire Saskatchewan river basin.
No wonder people don't go up this bloody mountian. The rock is rotten, loose everywhere. Its like a pile of Jenga blocks ready to tumble down. It gives me the heebie-jeebies. Just the exposure would be unconciously exhausting. I climbed Mount Tiede 3715 m in the Cannary Islands. Near the top, every step I was gasping for air. You guys are obviously fit, as you don't show any high altitude, low oxygen discomfort. Thank you. This has been the most terrifying TH-cam video I have ever watched. I suppose it is because I have experienced similar circumstances mountian climbing in Scotland and New Zealand, but nowhere, nowhere near as extreme. Good on you!
Hahah it's definitely falling the fuck apart but to be fair everything in the rockies is kinda falling apart. This seems par for the course here. Appreciate the comments and support brother!!
Stay near the ridge and it's ok. Stray from the ridge and the choss factor ramps up considerably. Awesome route. 4 rap stations were installed in 2016 climbers right of the ridge to keep rockfall off the climbing route.
Fantastic video! I climbed Assiniboine a few summers ago, but the view was unfortunately hazy with smoke. The view is amazing and your video brings back lots of memories from the experience. Well done on this climb and your channel in general. Keep up the good work!
Wow Boyz! Amazing work, that exposure looking back is terrifying lol So sick to see you guys summit this iconic peak! Love it! Excited to follow along this winter guys!

Hey man, awesome video! Really enjoyed this alpine rock style, have you got many other videos like this? Saw some pics on insta of you on the Cheesemond Express, is there a video from that? Stay safe and love from Scotland.

My heart was pounding😅
Discovered this mountain today and your video came up first for climbing. WOW INCREDIBLE!!! Great job this was so cool!!
My hands are so sweaty. I thought you guys up North had nice granite. That nasty rock reminds me of Montana. It appears to be impossible to set pro.
You guys kicked Ass-iniboine!
Good luck gettin' down.

Epic adventure boys, i'm trying to do something like this next time i'm out there!

Thanks man!!! Dude it's so close I can FEEL it!!! I am beyond ready for some ice!!!
Well done! It's been on my list for a while. The climbing looks like type 2 fun 😬
If I did it again I would just do it in a big 1 day push. More enjoyable I think.
My heart is racing watching this. well done!
Thank you brother!
I soloed this route in August 1986.
Still another 4 years before I was even born 😬
Are you good Phil? I'm looking forward to new Ice climbing videos!
I’ve been trying to figure out the same. Tried to message on Facebook. Total silence…hope he’s alright

Really dry conditions. I climbed it years ago, but the route was snow and ice. Crampons the whole way.
At least there isn't any loose rock laying around on this route.
Lol! 😅
Chossies!
It's the Canadian Rockies !!!!
6:50 😱 That's a long ways down! lol
Well done Boyz! Well f%%king done!
Bro when you look behind you at the view the view is stunning! Also turns my stomach! 😂 Pretty epic shit!
I always wanted to climb Assiniboine now I'm glad i missed out, whew that was spooky, my legs will be rubbery for days.
Man you can do it!! I believe in you :)
Chossy jenga tower
I heard they are still downclimbing the route.
Well done and congratulations!
🙏🙏
I started biting my nails again for the first time since I quit in 2008.
Now the easy part is over, time to start downclimbing.
Man downclimbing and walking back to bivi AND then walking out to the door AND driving back to Calgary.
I went into the woods today and took dump..
Film to follow!
chest mounted cameras are alot better -- less darting
What route is this?
Its only the camara angles that make it look steep and what is left of the glacier is only a remnant of what was there forty years ago.
🤙🤙
🤙🤙
Choss Boss
Oh ....you took a dump?.....well I hope you didn't take one mine.....I only have two left and the weekend is coming up!
Why dont you place any gear? It does not make you look awesome.
If he placed a cam and fell on it, the entire mountainside would fall off.
Lol you are not wrong! 😅
Ohhh kinbote lol
Not versed in rockies climbing?
