Fuck! That stretch starting around 7:30 with hard ice under a little snow looked terrifying. Well done. I have hiked to Snowbird Pass, and into Berg Lake myseof on snowshoes in March. We share the same last name.
That was definitely the most exposed part of the climb! Nice one, it’s such a beautiful area with so much potential. Really! That’s neat, it’s a good last name haha
I live a couple hours away from Robson and have always wanted to summit it, ive only hiked the trail to berg lake but i hope to improve my skills until i can eventually summit it haha
@@samueljohnston9343 You’re lucky to live in a beautiful area like that! Keep working on your mountain skills and you’ll for sure be able to climb it if you get good conditions!
@@lukasfournier im grateful to be so close to so many beautiful mountains, and Thank You for your kind words and encouragement in (hopefully) my future abilities in mountaineering!
@@lukasfournier just double checking, your one summit rappel was a v-thread as well? You brought loads of chord for it all? Also did you run the rope straight in the chord or also have a maillon or something similar? thanks!
@@snow_e Yes all naked v-threads, meaning the climbing rope was fed through the ice. I was lucky that not long after me a party of 2 summited as well and they kindly let me rappel with them which made it faster because they had twice the amount of rope as I did!
Thank you, and yes the lightness of the tools means you swing faster which makes you go up quicker, but it’s also more difficult to get good sticks in pure ice.
Congrats on doing one of the hardest summits in the Canadian Rockies! I’m actually an aspiring climber and I’ve made it a goal of mines to summit this mountain one day. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get so much experience and technical skills before being confident that you could summit Mount Robson?
@@najlamahum1648 Thank you! That’s a good question, I’ve wanted to climb the mountain for a while now and I felt ready going into it but when I was driving to the mountain to climb it for the first time I remember being intimidated by the sheer size of Robson. But prior to that I’ve slowly built my mountaineering experience: I’ve climbed taller peaks, and done more technical climbs, so I felt confident going into it. But what also plays a big part is weather, and I was lucky I had the time to wait for a good weather window.
Solo glacier travel is probably the riskiest thing any mountaineer can do. I’ve put a foot through a bridge many times while roped up and just thinking about the travel you did makes me sick to my stomach. Glad you made it alive. Did you even bring a probe to check the bridges on schrunds or crevasses? 😅
4:27 Potentially falling into a crevasse like that way up on a big mountain like that gives me the chills, I'll stick to mountains without glacier travel. I know a local climber that I met briefly in the mountains that later fell into a crevasse and died, he was also traveling unroped, they're just too spooky.
freaky is right imagine you're never found and then like 10,000 years from now someone finds your frozen ass body after all the ice everywhere melted. Like a time capsule down there
I am a beginner in the domain of mountaineering and I wanted to know why is he not attached to a rope or something to hold him in case he falls. And for this particular peak is there a specific route already defined or does he make his own? Sorry if my question seems dumb I am curious.
@@Ten74 Hey good questions! When solo climbing, using a rope to ascend is not particularly efficient, because you have to self belay and then rappel down and then ascend the rope again. But when climbing in a team, your partner is belaying you so you don’t have to do the extra lead solo steps. The climbing is also not particularly technical, so as long as you have good tools and feet in the ice, it feels quite secure. Mount Robson has many different routes, the Kain Face is probably the “easiest” one, but every season the route changes a little bit because of the glaciers shifting, and there’s plenty of space to create your own line, hope that answers your questions!
That was fantastic, congrats! Those crevasses looked really, really scary. In retrospect, do you think it was a good decision to keep on pushing? Glad you made it out safely
@@lukasfournier based out of Florida not many rocks around here. Just got back from the PNW with hood, smith rock, snow creek wall and Rainier. I have a van I Vegas where I either climb in red rocks j tree or bishop in the alpine. I'll be out there November then I'll be in Patagonia in January.
@@TheSubieFan Ah yeah fair enough haha! Do you have good climbing gyms in Florida? Sweet you did a lot on your trip! If you ever come to BC let me know! What are you climbing in Patagonia?
@@lukasfournier good bouldering but our tallest lead wall is like 13m so not great. I think the plan for Patagonia is just to go and check it out. I have no concrete plans beyond that. Would love to climb in BC, tell me a season and I'll be there!

These kind of things should get more views than mainstream sports. Absolutely unbelievable. Would love to have seen the descent
Thank you! And I know about the descent, GoPro batteries need to last longer..
Fantastic! Great work, great skill!
This is one of my dream ascents. Once I have this.. I’ll consider myself a true mountaineer
Outstanding!! The helmet cam view on these climbs are perfect. I have a similar video on Mt Peveril in Jasper..loved it!! Stay safe !
Just checked out your video, very cool! And thank you!

@ You got it! Maybe try and join a local mountain club and find like minded people to climb with!
Amazing route and skilled climber. Good work!
Thank you!
So full on. Great video.
Thanks!
Remarkable! I wanted to see the descent! The most important part of any climb!
Unfortunately GoPro batteries don’t last very long
@@lukasfournier what was the descent like? You just down climbed a lot? v threads?
@@snow_e All V-thread rappels on the Kain face and 1 rappel off the summit
@@lukasfournier just double checking, your one summit rappel was a v-thread as well? You brought loads of chord for it all? Also did you run the rope straight in the chord or also have a maillon or something similar? thanks!

Shows you can do this type of route with ‘regular’ modern axes. Good video 😊
Thank you, and yes the lightness of the tools means you swing faster which makes you go up quicker, but it’s also more difficult to get good sticks in pure ice.
that was bold dude hoooooly shit 👏👏
Spectacular!
Epic, I wish I had the resources to do this.
me too!

Great video to show the ascent. How strong was the wind once above Kain face? And before you got to the col, how hard was the scramble?
Thanks! The wind was very strong above the Kain Face and the scramble was long but not particularly technical

Realistically the risk of crevasse fall is much lower than the rest of the exposure on this climb
Tnx for the video, this is awesome... how did you go down? Did you use ice screws? V thread? Rappell or downclimb? Tnx
Cheers thanks! Mostly rappels on V-threads and a bit of down climbing
Great video, really eye-opening 😊

This is one of the most badass footages I have ever seen. How did you get down?
@@pacevedo9 Haha thanks! Came down the same way I went up, but with a lot of rappels using V-threads.

@@lukasfournier Thanks for answering my question. I wish you an amazing day.
Imagine Kain with his alpine ice axe!!!!
That was fantastic, congrats! Those crevasses looked really, really scary. In retrospect, do you think it was a good decision to keep on pushing? Glad you made it out safely
Wow!
Do you think downclimbing the whole way is fairly feasible without any rappelling?
I think it would be pretty scary but possible for sure, I wouldn’t recommend it though.
a crevasse on the summit push scary af
👏
Climbed this year?
Yes in September
Чувак, это прекрасно!
nice vid
Thanks!
wait a minute your fucking legit good job! ever need climbing partners?
