The FIFTY - Line 10/50 - The Grand Teton with Jimmy Chin

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Often called a test piece of ski mountaineering, the Grand Teton is an icon in skiing and climbing. From an abundance of mileage and vert, to technical mixed climbing, the Grand presents a multitude of challenges for the way up and back down. Joining Cody Townsend is a guy whose life was shaped and sculpted by the mountain itself, the legendary Jimmy Chin. With Jimmy fresh off an Oscar win and a global media tour, Townsend joins up in Jimmy's backyard on the mountain that brought him to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The crew encounters an early wake up, vicious winds and some crucial decisions on there way to ski one of the most recognizable mountains in the world.
This is line 10 completed of The FIFTY, a project following Cody Townsend as he attempts to climb and ski all fifty of the lines and mountains chronicled in the book, "The 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America." The series documents Townsend's journey's, travels, challenges and each line and mountain listed in the book. It's a journey through the most majestic mountains and ski lines in North America along with a unique insight into how skiers make decisions in the backcountry, how they plan, navigate and safely move through the mountains and the people that dedicate their lives to the mountains.

Jimmy is like an rpg character that's beat the game and is just bagging side quests now
you know, there are a lot of amazing people in the world. Jimmy ranks pretty high for me and anyone that can hang with him. That looks intimidating to climb!
Ahahahaha!🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿
This comment is so accurate.
Skiing Everest is certainly a trophy, along with his many other climbs. Anyone who climbs Annapurna is insane imo.
Love that Jimmy took a second to point out how hard Bjarne's job really is
Yup, people tend to forget how much harder it is !
When this project is over, Cody's gonna do a year-long series highlighting the mellowest, lift-served blue groomers in North America.
I would absolutely watch this
When this is done I think I'm gonna do a 50 Classic Beach Naps series. Just going to beaches and napping, for like two years.
@@CodyTownsend I would absolutely watch THAT!
I literally laughed out loud and spilled my tea when I read this comment. 10/10 would watch this. Cody, make this happen!
When you have done it all it is not charging hard what motivates you, it is the scenery and the small things what keep you going, it is a regression to the roots. There is a lot of truth in your comment.
Jimmy just seems so approachable but yet so intimidating.
his way of saying "man the fk up, we're doing it" is so nice.
Having been around Jimmy in a professional environment I can %100 confirm this.
Such a great dude. Got to spend time at my gate and on the flight with him just chatting away. Incredibly rad dude
"I'm excited that I'm not having to film this."-Jimmy Chin
Ha!
He knows the struggle all too well lol
If you fall, fall on that side of the ride and I'll jump over to this side and well just close line this thing..... (sips latte)
Luke Kinney Music right*
😆
hahah.. so good
that's the only way you don't get the both of you killed. you train this in real, when becoming a mountain guide.
Congrats guys !!! And a particular award for Bjarne who had, on top of the hiking, claiming and ski stuffs, to take care about filming this adventure. Really a super film you share to us. Thanks a lot. This will make my day and probablythe rest of the week (and even more...).
It doesn't get more baller than an Oscar in your garage / gear room!
because every alpinist wants an entertainment industry award rather than a Piolet d’Or right?
Well, I'd say the Oscar is a hell of a lot more rare for an alpinist to come by.
Well Jimmy has both an Oscar and Piolet d'Or
coming from a climber's perspective, this was definitely the most legit skimo line yet in terms of the ascent! I wonder how hard Jimmy can mixed climb with skis on his back?? It would be awesome to see more routes with this kind of legit climbing linked into ski descents
This series is the perfect antidote to all the "neck deep blower pow" movies out there. Keeping it real !
yeah it really makes skiing seem more realistic. Even though Cody is doing some of the wildest and hardest lines on the continent, its easy to understand him more than the heli-driven gnar-fests
Great video Cody thanks so much, what an adventure. Back in 77 I graduated from high school, my girlfriend and I drove to JH form Ma. we were 17 and we climbed the Grand, it was a great time. We came back a couple more times. I can not image skiing it though, great job you and your friends are at a complete other level. I love this project you are doing, this one has been my favorite, thanks again.
“We’re there man!” at the summit had me cracking up
Best thing on the internet right now. Keep it up lads!
“It’s so epic up here...I just can’t feel my face”
Ha! Love this guy.
Each episode is less about the downhill than the last, and I don't think that's a problem at all!
Yeah seems like that. Though that's just entirely condition and adventure specific, this one was definitely far more about the up, some ones coming up definitely involve more of the down.
@@CodyTownsend More up! : )
Great video! Jimmy needs to do a gear shed tour, his garage is sick!
Wow. This is incredible and quite unimaginable to this Indiana gal. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!
Another great one, thanks again! Bjarne, outstanding job as always filming and climbing/skiing. You guys make it look so easy, just another 7k+ day and 13 miles. Whew :-).
Thanks for the tour of Jimmy's garage! That could have been an entire episode in itself. Seriously though, this was probably your most complete adventure short film yet. Really hoping we are going to get to see a long-form edit of all of these vlogs one day. That might be worthy of Oscar consideration. In the meantime, don't quit your day job kids!
Maravilloso.
Great episode!! more fifty with jimmy
Legend with another legend! 💪👍
This series consistently makes my jaw drop, but after this episode I've gone and lost it entirely.
Keep it up man!
I am so relieved to watch this one! First of all, you and Jimmy - he's already a legend, you're fast becoming one - so cool to see you guys together, operating so well together, making intelligent calls. Secondly, 7000 feet of terrible skiing! Validates some of my own experiences. Overall, I've felt lucky about the quality of the downhill stuff I've earned, but odd days stand out when it's been just a question of getting down in one piece. And it's nice to know even superstars don't get any exemption from that! The more I watch this series, the more I love it.
Emocionado desde un balcón, en la costa de Galicia, una noche de septiembre, sonriendo al ver a Jimmy y Cody juntos dándole duro.
Lloro. 👊👑x2
“Think of how much more moral character you have now” lol
One of my favorite episodes! This series is so fucking good
I dig how much good content you captured in 15 minutes.
Phenomenal series!!
Love this series.. cheers again and stay safe brotha
please go on another adventure with Jimmy!!!
Hi Cody,
I've been watching your series. Awesome work!
Not sure when you plan on getting to the Sawtooths but the access to McGown is two miles away from my door step.
Please let me know if you need a place to stay or any help.
Thank you!
I've sat under that same boulder at 7:02 to wait out a thunderstorm before!
I cant imagine what it must have been like. My physics teacher once told my class the story of when he got caught on pigeon spire in rogers pass on a thunderstorm. Seems like an experience I am willing to miss out on lol 😅
Windiest day of my life was at Jacksom Hole. 75mph winds came ripping up the hill and I was skiing rendezvous bowl backwards uphill. Lol. Thought I was going to take flight. Would be terrified to be on the grand teton with those winds.
Well it's been several weeks, seems like it's time to watch Cody ski the Grand again.
I can't stop coming back to this video. The balance of stoke and respect for the mountain keeps bringing me back to this fantastic episode and series.
Coffee, Cody, what a nice day :D
I LOVE how fatigued they are when they reach the summit and he quotes dumb and dumber 😂11:00
I am absolutely mesmerized by the amount of Jimmy Chin's gear!
Keep up the cameo's great work!
Well done! Best episode so far! Awsome filming, editing and ski mountainering. I also wanna be one of the best skiiers in the world and have an army of "guide book guys" to call when I need them! Cheers :)
Been pretty lucky to know so many amazing mountain people to go do these lines with.
Incredible as always. Dumb and Dumber quote FTW.
Excellent work.
I need to sleep....can’t...stop...watching
This is very entertaining.
"7k vert of really shitty skiing" this is what backcountry is all about!
This is the third time I've watched this. I am so impressed with your work. It's so much better than the typical pro skiing heli lines. I just hope that after the pandemic is under control you can continue with the same spirit. Thanks so much for providing this terrific entertainment. Robbio
jimmy chin is such a chill guy. loved this episode
I am so blown away by this... It's like the Oscars of skiing 😂
Awesome! Whatever Jimmy Chin is in I’ll watch any day 😃
Jimmy's the man! Awesome series. Love your work Cody... looking forward to the next episode.
RESPECT
Real deal - no scripts obviously; inspirational..
I climbed this mountain the summer I turned 16, but I'd love to go back and climb it in the snow! It's an incredible mountain. When my dad climbed it in the early 70's, there was a glacier and ice climbing was required- by the time I got there in 2006, there was none :(
I want to see some gear lists for these episodes! Good work boys!
awesome video. nice editing.
You guys want to take me up it I climbed Devils Tower and I want to climb this and I’m 12
Jimmy: I basically skipped 2 seasons of being a badass cause I had to do film promotion.
Also Jimmy: I am going to lead climb the Grand Teton, and if you fall I will jump into the void to save you. No big deal...
These are a few of my favourite things! Best ep yet. BTW Cody - do you KNOW Bill Briggs? Met him in Jackson a couple of years ago.
I live in Jackson and skiing the grand has been a dream of mine for my whole life! When did you guys ski the grand this year?
Around the end of March.
quite surprised those axes aren't on lanyards respect looks great mountain
@10:13 the most casual answer to a disaster plan ever:
"I might as well just belay you up to that next anchor. If you fall, fall to that side, and I'll jump over the ridge on this side. And we'll just clothesline this thing."
"... Ok."
My mom wasn't impressed...
These videos are making me miss being outside super hard right now. Also can't stop watching them. P.s. I dig the music... Anyone know names for the songs/artists?
Cody, maybe not the best idea to have your first turns on your new skis and boots on the Grand
"Character building" LOL. Can relate. Two thumbs up
7000 Vertical of insanity. Great series man and so amazing that you were with Jimmy Chin!
missed an opportunity to replace the Oscar with a bag of sand a la Raiders of the Lost Ark
Jimmy '' Just to say Bjarne will work x2 today '' LOL
great one Cody !
Love watching this series while I soak in my tub. Can't wait for the Mellowfest series next.
Amazing crew and climb well done gentlemen!🍻
song used at 8:30? Ive watched this like 20X already, great channel
So pleased you're doing this as an Older Chap; as it's exactly what I plan to do...
Who ya calling old!?!
Haha. Best comment yet!
Jimmy chin amazing huy!
Big fan!!!!
Their ability to make jokes in situations where I would be shitting ferociously is so impressive
Loved every minute of this and that fun twist at the end. Your show is more than just a VLOG.
Jimmy Chin is a legend!
I remember going there as a child many many years ago, the beauty never ceases to amaze me!! THANKS GUYS!! Now I want to go ski it! 😂
This would be a once in a lifetime thing for me, but for Jimmy it's just another weekday haha
That is the coolest garage ever
Jimmy has been in much sketchier situations than that, he was being so modest.
I’ve always wondered When repelling down Do you have to abandon some of your gear at the top ?
Depends on the rappel. But on the Grand, there are a lot of semi-permanent anchor stations that have been built and their gear left for the benefit of others. So while we were prepared to ditch our own gear in case those anchor stations were buried / inaccessible / damaged, we were able to use them on this descent.
Jimmy is totally one of my heros. When I saw meru it proved that humans like him actually exist in real life and not just in historical adventure and war tales.
Cody's gunning for Clooney's part in the next Ocean's movie 😂
I was hoping for Pitt's role actually
Good tick! Well done all. keep at it!
Jimmy Chin takes a ride down fkin Denali in an avalanche last time he tried to ski down it, somehow survives, and still doesn't wear a helmet when skiing 14ers. The gall of that man yeesh.
Another great episode!! Awesome work Cody!👍
Cody on the tools! You've come so far. Awesome episode. Bravo Jimmy and Chai!
"A lot of hours of meandering meaninglessly".... That is the real definition of life, I would say...
Solid observation.
Jimmy is the next gen Dave Breashears.
Love the dumb and dumber quotes from cody so well tkmed! Epic videos!
Amazing adventure. Glad I can live vicariously through these videos. Song recommendation for a future episode: "i wish it would never stop snowing" by Sleepy Fish (I have no affiliation with the artist...just a good beat and great title).
When I say "well at least we can cross that one off the list", its normally code for "I had a really shitty day and thought I was about to die several times"
7000 vert of really shitty skiing 🤣
Another unreal episode!
But did you say "ow, its crushing my johnson!"
Yes. Yes I did.
Climbing and skiing this 6 times in 2 weeks? Why not? lol
lol Jimmy wasn't turning around for a little bit of wind. Dude has been through way too much to care about 40-50 mph gusts
Was that a dumb and dumber quote when he got to the top?
Duhhhhh.
Song @ 12:05?
Song @12:05?
At 1:12 I thought you were going to say Steve Romeo...gone but not forgotten.
Never got to meet him but admired him from a far. Gone too soon.
I climbed the Grand late August, leading a group of three of us up the Exum Ridge. We spent two days and it was one of the more exhausting trips I've been part of. I can't fathom a winter ascent and taking my board (or skis) down from there. In a single day for that matter! Hats off.
You guys are literally nut cases - sucha sick video though.
So sick!
