- After an epic climb up Lobuche East Peak a few days earlier, we set out to summit Island Peak. It was a long day on the mountain but the weather was good and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Enjoy.

Nice video, I hope I'll do this one day too! One advice though, I wouldn't slide down in crampons like you did. If they grip while you slide down, you can mess yourself up seriously.
I had the privilege of leading the first, unsupported Irish Defence Forces expedition to the Himalayas where we all (4) summited Island Peak, no support, no Sherpas, just four guys with a mission. In comparison to today, there was one one small commercial expedition at Base Camp, and they arrived after we had the place to ourselves for two days. Things change over time !!.
brother i love u
Congratulations!! A wonderful video, thank you for sharing this!
What a great video man! I did the climb in October and wished I had captured more than what I had on video, especially what you have to do in the dark.
You continue to amaze me with your determination and love of adventure. ❤
Well done ! Congrats ! I did it in october 2023 too
Another awesome video Cam and your Patreon community. Awesome achievement. At the summit you look like cartoon characters!! What awesome coverage you managed to get on the mountain!!
So proud of you bro 🫶🏻
Amazing well done
congratulations !!! is there a mountain 6000+ but without that scary ropes?
Hi. Awesome work. I'm in early stages of planning for October. Did you hire your boots?
@7:22... tried a similar glissade at mt blanc massif -- a fellow climber followed me and sadly broke a buried snow bridge. 15h passed trying to locate & extract him. but mt. rescue advised crevassed 200m+ deep. bc no sounds were ever heard, he was presumed deceased. upshot: on-trail walking or glissading (if you must) is the only option on descent
Congratulations on succeeding, last year in September 2023 my team and I only made it to 6000 m and had to descend due to weather conditions and reduced enthusiasm to continue...
I tried this climb last week
Is it as steep as it looks at the top?😯 Respect!
Beautiful video. I don't skip ads 😊❤
Thankyou!
Great stuff Cam! How did you find Island Peak compared to Lobuche East? I am hoping to make it to one of the trekking peaks in the Himalayas one day - based on the videos, Lobuche looked a fair bit steeper and more technical? Which did you find more enjoyable as a novice mountaineer? Thanks!
Awesome work again Cam. I remember what it was like hiking between 3000 and 3500 meters and how it slowed me down a fair bit. Can't imagine 6000+ I would love to try it sometime though.
Whole new world up that high! I think I prefer it a bit lower haha
Great video mate!
Have you done or ever thought of doing the Great Ocean road hike in Victoria AUS?
Definitely on the list! Haven’t done any hikes in VIC yet 😭
@@CamBostock awesome! Very keen to see it when you do mate.
Vic has some awesome trails as well as some good bike packing trails to.
That is scary how u hanging on that old fixie :D
That looks pretty straightforward to do without a guide but did you really need one
If you can do one peak, which one would you choose?
What sort of minimum physical fitness is required to summit Island Peak?
You definitely want to be comfortable climbing 2,000m of vertical in a day and have general endurance to keep pushing for up to like 18 hours. Tough summit day
‘Technical skills’ - jumarring in a conga line 😂
It’s all relative mate 😉
@@CamBostock you are a true inspiration to us all, tackling big mountains with ur advanced technical ability. Mountaineering is hard, planning and decision making are core skills. Lucky you had a guide to plan and make decisions for you.
Anything with a harness is technical mate. This isn't hiking
@@stvarq relative to hiking this type of climbing may seem technical yes. Compared to proper alpine climbing and mountaineering, this is the safest and least technical type of climbing. Jumarring is an entry level / beginner mountaineering technique for being guided up peaks.
Good afternoon from PAPUA NEW GUINEA
