- On 14 February 2018, two friends and I set out on a 15 hour mission to summit Mitre Peak (1,692m, 5,551ft) in Milford Sound, New Zealand in a day.

The guy in the flannelette shirt looks like he went out to check his mail box, saw his mates walking past and decided on a whim to start walking with them ...nek minit 6 hrs later!
legend tho all u guys - gtg to the mailbox is about my limit these days lol
This is the most under rated comment ever. Seriously hilarious 😂😂😂 you nailed it.
Had multiple heart attacks watching this. That's the craziest scramble I can imagine. One slip, dead.
Vertigo inducing!
You should see these fools going to K2 in Pakistan
Yes but they didn't, did they :-)
@@LDehaut FOOLS REALLY?
@@LDehaut or better yet the documentary "Free Solo". I sweated more watching than Alex did climbing.

😂😂😂👍
I just come across this by accident....UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE !! and how casual were you all!! You guys were BLOODY lucky with the weather!! I dare say knowing that side of NZ weather is SOOOO unpredictable that you got a VERY large window of good weather! Well done!!!
You guys made it look so easy but that looks like a terrifying hike. I’d be more scared to come back down!
A climb? Or a hike? A clike?😂😂😂
Ain't it beautiful to be young, fit, and crazy? Reminds me of own youth and the fun we used to have scrambling up and down challenging peaks, but then we all got older and could never do it again. Congratulations on such a spectacular ascent and showing the rest of the world what a magnificent natural wonder New Zealand and Milford Sound is.
This has inspired me to finally clean my apartment.
Hahhahahahaha good one
A few years on and this is still my favourite climb on youtube. So watchable, makes you happy inside. Thanks for making this
I watched this on my 80" 4K screen last night with my wife and seeing you three do this makes me want to lose 15KG, train my body for fitness, toss out all the junk food in my life and book a flight to New Zealand NOW... What an epic adventure to Mitre Peak. Good that you could do it too!
I feel like holding you to this? do you think you'll do it? Or at least lose the 15kg and toss out the junk food? 😊
some junk food is part of a healthy diet because your mind needs some distraction from shitty Psychotronic Harassement
Did you?
Climbing up there is one thing but I almost shat myself just thinking about climbing this down again with all these drops constantly before my eyes! Absolutely bloody crazy!
This is the most scary scramble I have ever seen, don't normally tremble watching videos but this was something else. all I can say guys is very very well done that was amazing.
been past Mitre Peak a couple of times but at water level. congratulations to you all.
Major props to the 3 of you for getting this tough peak. Years ago I had planned to climb it but eventually ruled it out as being too involved. Coming all the way from Seattle, I did manage to get a bunch of peaks on the south island, but this was not one of them. Thanks for the video and showing me what it's like up there.
You guys are incredibly fit to do that up and down in a day. Very impressive
We cheated by getting a Chopper down😅
The intro fooled me, I thought this was going to be a chill reminder of my nice trip to Milford area but quickly became the most anxiety inducing thing I've ever watched on TH-cam including some BASE jumping. I just had to keep telling myself you guys got down to upload and add cute music. EPIC and amazing.
😂😂😂
"Not afraid of height's, just afraid of death." That was a great comment !!
Well............been to the Himalayas a few times in the '90's, been up to 5600m, have been above massive land slips on very narrow paths, where a wrong step = death.........this is EPIC. What a rush, what agility...........totally impressed with you guys and this stunning part of the world. Namaste💕💕💕
This is a really good video - thanks for posting it. A few mates and I went down to climb Mitre Peak 20 years ago but flagged it and ran the Milford Track instead as the first winter snow dump arrived the same day we did. Watching this I’m glad we passed on Mitre Peak - it’s definitely a summer trip!
AWESOME GUYS!!! I must admit to a few stomach fluttering moments when you were close to the summit. Ah what it is to be young and adventurous. Thank you so much for sharing the trip. It made this old fellow slightly envious but pleased to see the views from the top. Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for doing this for me, I couldn't do this, even 40yrs ago when I was your age. Beautiful scenery.
I wanted to do this when I was that age over 25 years ago. Ended up going overseas instead. Climbed some different mountains. Great Milford climb! Thanks for filming it and posting it online!
Incredible fitness and determination. That is living. My respects to you - visited there in 1997 but like most tourists you have only enough time to go on the boat. You have shown us sights that are out of this world. Many many thanks indeed. GvT.
Thank You, for sharing this with the world TD. I have done similar things further North in NZ (with a rifle over my shoulder) ................. but not quite as many knife edge ridges (and a bit more Snow and Ice), as this monumental effort, by you three. Keep up the great adventuring, you live in the perfect place to do this. Regards JB
Geesh. I read son of Beansprout's account of his climb and had no idea what an ordeal it was. We've kayaked it and looked up there wondering what it'd be like to climb it, now I know it's not to be taken lightly. I'm ok with heights but my heart was in my mouth in places, the scale of everything is just huge in there. A great day out, well done you guys.
thats bloody impressive well done, and thats coming from someone thats been on 7000m peaks, that damn thing looks harder than aconcagua in argentina!
My wife and I got sweaty, cold palms--and feet! Thanks for letting us share your experience. Hello from California!
OMG guys. I had tingles in my legs so many times as I watched this. Well done, but geez, this is actually dangerous stuff.
Thank you so much for filming and posting that! Love your style, pretty intrepid, and super inspirational!
This was such an awesome adventure. I thought there would have been a more well trodden path to the summit. So cool.
That was just epic, I’m completely blown away by the scenery- it’s just beyond stunning
Much thanks for showing breath taking views. Very daring and dashing team.
Absolutely amazing! My knees were trembling just watching you climb and the views up there are out of this world 👏😍
Thank you...that was lovely and remarkable. You have taken me back 50 years to when I went up Sabyinyo which has 3 ascending peaks with major downs between them. I've just read some trip advisor accounts of that climb and realised for the first time in my rubbish life that I must have been quite fit around then....... so thanks again for shining that memory for me.
climbed Sabinyo 38 years ago...similar experience to Mitre; first lots of pulling on branches and roots and then knife-edge ridges and big drops higher up to get to the Central peak. They closed the peak (Sabyinyo) after an accident a few years later. As far as I know it's remained closed ever since.
Awesome!! Spectacular!!! You guys did an amazing job and I just loved the sustained enthusiasm! All this takes me back 25 years when I used to do this, freehand in some gnarly mountains! Thanks so much for this!
You guys are nuts! Happy to live vicariously through you re that experience. What an amazing day. Incredible views. Awesome film. Super well done! 👏
Wow awesome Tamsin, you made a scary route look like a breeze even climbing with the backpack. Amazing!
That was amazing! This is a route that I have long dreamed of doing! Thank you for sharing that!
I went to Milford Sound in 2016 on a sunny day just like this (which is quite rare). This makes me miss New Zealand so much - sending love from the U.S.! Thanks for the awesome video!
Wow that was an awesome adventure to watch, thank you to the team effort and the youthful energetic narration. the camera work each time you peaked the summits had me on the edge of my seat. great stuff.
stunning!! always incredible to see what one can do in a single day
Looks absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing.
That was EPIC! Thanks for sharing. I will be adding Mitre Peak to the bucket list!
Wow, what an absolutely amazing climb up to the top of Mitre Peak!! GoPro did a remarkable job by capturing those beautiful perspectives.
That looks terrifying!
Your footage is craaaaazy.
My heart rate is in the crazy zone just watching you.
Brave and obviously not scared of heights👍✌️
Hats off to you guys. A huge effort by you 3. I think you can describe that climb as an extreme experience. Awesome scenery & great camera action. Cheers
Loved the misty kayaking...beautiful. Great climb.
OMG, I wasn't planning to watch this but the thumbnail drew me in and then I just couldn't take my eyes off the screen. RESPECT! Really had me literally on edge and gripped. Like I was there with you.
This is absolutely breathtaking and the route looks challenging..hmmm need to add this to my bucket list...
First time I've ever felt compelled to comment on a YT video, thanks for the archair ride Tamsin (especially during covid), what a gnarly day's climb! Keep on exploring this amazing world of ours
Simply amazing. Great work climbing that steep..
Wow!! The risk/reward of this hike is stupendous! Bravo
Breathtaking.....congrats for the strength and courage.
Absolutely thrilling. heart in mouth stuff. Still not sure how what you did is humanly possible! Glad I came along for the ride ..
Really amazing, thanks for sharing such a great achievement!!
So so beautiful and you guys are so brave !
Thanks for the video Tasmin. This has been on our list for close to a decade now and we're hoping to do it when we're back in NZ at the end of February!
descending is the most hardest part, i really wanted to see that as most of people go up and say woah!! we climbed but now how to get down now ;) . great trekking guys.
Absolutely agree. Not only is judge your step way harder downhill but they must have been knackered which makes it all the harder.
This is exceptional. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning! Travelled to New Zealand in 2016, the Milford Track & Mitre Peak being high on the list of things to do, unfortunately the timing was wrong & the weather prevented it. A gloomy boat trip through Milford & Doubtful Sounds had to suffice, oh well it gives me reason to return
Awesome footage. Thank you. Most people won't understand a word you're saying, but ex Kiwi, I got it. Beautiful beautiful New Zealander. Thank you for sharing. That is certainly one of NZ's most majestic places, and you made it better than ever. X The tell all is the size of those boats in the fiord. I've been on those boats multiple times and in this vid they are specs, if you can see them at all. What a majestic climb. Well captured.
Ha Ha, you're right there, I didn't understand a word they said and I lived in NZ in my youth.
Beautiful scenery!! I loves to hiking likes you guys do . Now I am hiking Easy ways.
Amazing climb and fantastic weather, well done!!!
Thanks for sharing your epic climb. I wouldn't have the nerve let alone the fitness to achieve this. Well done!
Many thanks from India for showing us beautiful documentary of Mitre peak.
A great adventure. That was a good scramble and I would not want to be up there in bad weather. Bit of it remind me of Crib Goch in North Wales. Also The Cullin Ridge (both i've done). Crib Goch loads of times. I'd manage Mitre peak on a day like this. Not totally sure if my Wife would like it. Quite exposed in a few places, with hefty drops. One slip and Strawberry Jam indeed. Quote of the day.
That looked bloody amazing (and scary)! Visiting Milford Sound by boat was awesome but this is a spectacular new perspective
Craziest NZ Adventure I've watched! Water mountains, this place has it all!
Wow, great ascent and well filmed. Big congrats to you all for making it, especially Jared who seemed to be really pushing the limits 💪.
Fantastic video in every way. Neat people too. Impressed.
Legends! Awesome adventure... Just what I needed to watch while waiting to finish my isolation after moving back to New Zealand 👍 From another fellow mountain explorer 😀
Crazy good video! I am in awe of your nerve, stamina and determination. You're my hero! I'll be following your future adventures.
Congratulations from a Pom who lived in NZ
almost 50 years ago I climbed Cook Malte Brun Dixon and the Footstool but these seemed a lot easier than Mitre Peak.Noticed that you never once roped up I guess that was to save weight and time, but meant no abseils on the descent. Envious of you it was on my daydreaming list of climbs together with Mt.Tutoko. Michael Bell Bristol England 19th of August 2023.
A Beautiful Video, an iconic location only visited by a select few, in one of the most visited place's in this beautiful Nation, Superb Effort, Congratulations.
Wow. That was breathtaking!! Just gorgeous up there. I’m gonna watch this again on the big screen tonight.
It was pretty awesome up there! Thanks for watching!
Crazy good weather, I’d imagine this is near in impossible most days due to the rainfall. Imagine climbing those sheer cliffs when they’re slick, no thanks.
Really impressive to do this in one day both luck wise and sheer determination and fitness
That was EPIC and thoroughly enjoyable!
You guys are batshit crazy but loving the videos!! pushing me to get outa my comfort zone. thank you.
Some epic trekking right there! Well done guys!
WOW... so mega impressed by you guys... dreams are made of this stuff. :)
They are young and brave, loved watching the climb, well done
Been watching people summit Mt everest, but I don't know why this freaks me out more... Lol yous are amazing! 😍👏
My friend climbed the Mitre Peak back in 2016 with a GoPro on his chest, video is on my channel...but the footage doesn't even come close to this. Now I see the real size of the peak and the adrenaline is hitting me while I'm watching. Thanks for this!
Amazing Climb! Great work guys!
Wow! Thanks for filming that, Tamsin. Lying in bed, watching you guys do that, the soles of my feet were tying themselves in knots. (I'm not a big fan of heights). You, Tamsin, are truly amazing. Bugger climbing that.
Great video! Looked like a fab adventure Tamsin. Thanks for sharing :)
Epic! Loved every minute and subscribed 🥰
This makes me miss NZ so much. What an awesome climb. I’d love to do it.
So I just came across this today, like many I couldn't quite believe it. And how were you so chilled out Tamsin, you were handling it like it ain't no thang! Massive factor having the weather on your side like that as well. I've done some sketchy climbs myself but nothing of this magnitude in one day. I also have a huge fear of being precariously close to cliff faces so I don't actually know whether I could physically do this even though I may be fit enough but I would be keen to try it. Some of those crossings were insane - camera perspective aside. My palms were drenched just watching this so it doesn't bode well for gripping on smooth rocks! Absolutely epic to watch. A performance that's up there with the pro's. Also something you will remember for the rest of your life.
I think thats the longest ive ever held my breath. You guys are crazy but I'm glad u made it!!!
That is so so Kool guys,love yours adventure stuff.
That lower part is a typical New Zealand back country track. That’s why kiwis are made tough!
Fricken amazing nd absolutely terrifying at the same time. You guys are awesome! That is what you call "Top of the world biarchs!!"
Ive done mitre peak along with quite a few others down south and mitre peak has got to be the spookiest that comes to mind. nice job.
Wonderful location, excellent scenery, super human effort and it looked great. 👍😎 PS: Greetings from Sydney OZ.
Wooow...very brave hike...and as you said...it was worth it...views are amazing from up there! :) Well done guys!!!
Haha wow Tamsin that was insane! I would have been hugging some of those rocks! lol some bits were very sketchy and I would imagine this is only to be done in summer on a clear day! Imagine going to the top and then have even the slightest rain and all slippery :/ amazing video!
Wow! Super impressed. Now on my bucket list for sure! I have no idea how you guys got down those steep faces!
got dizzy just watching this great trip thanks guys
Fantastic video! definitely adding that to the to do list!
Wow...Amazing hike ❤🗻
This video should worth millions of viewers
You guys are nuts! Amazing hike! I had no idea people hiked up Mitre.
