Hi my boots barely fit the crampon, bar adjusted on the last hole, is it going to be a problem for durability etc? Thanks in advance

Personally i like to always use an ATC or fig8 for belay. Not really fond of body belay.

I wonder if a different Prusik or a Klemheist would work better for backup-on-top? Maybe the built-in slippage to each of those would be a benefit in for rappelling?

Looks enjoyable

No finish for me

The dream 🎉🤩🤩

若い時はスキーが大好きでした。 もう膝が持たないかも😢

What about Booster Strap? Have you tried them?

Hi Dave! great video, very informative. Would there be any benefit on getting the Freerider 15 evo VS the Rider 13 evo; if my DIN is around 10 and can add the spacer? i guess im mostly asking because i can get the 13 significantly cheaper

Hi Dave, thank you very much for your explanations. I am really excited for this combination...Faction La Machine Massive and ATK Freeraider. What are your honest opinion about this Ski? For sure I am not a Pro like you but I am a good skier and looking for a big, light and playful ski for ski touring. Can you recommend the ski and what is your mounting position for the ATK binding on it? I am looking forward for your honest opinion! :) Flo

🔥🔥🤘

Das hat aber schon gar nix mit Skifahren zu tun .... da kannst gleich die Steigeisen draufschnallen ....😂😂😂

This video is an awesome resource and brilliantly broken down. Any updates on a part two?

31k+ views on a super in-depth review from a trusted subject matter expert with huge following. All for the cost of some free gear. Deal of the century for ATK!

Awesome explanation. As i think of a lighter setup as my Agent 3 i was wondering what you think of the La Machine mini with a Raider 13 evo as a setup for Steep Terrain (colouirs)? Would this also work in harsher or hard conditions?

I want to go there! Gonna train my ass off next 18 months to get fit and do it. Kilimanjaro the year after that!

Could anybody give me advice on what insurance to get when skiing offpiste on the Alps?. I´ve heard of Air Glaciers but I believe they only cover the rescue part, not medical expenses not rehab if needed... I´ve also heard the common insurance companies do not cover offpiste terrain over certain altitude, most they do not cover it at all... Any clues?

is it sensible to lace up the stock liners? also i cant really figure out how to lace them up, with the dalbellos I have, there are only loops on the shin, so I suppose just got through these, but wouldnt it be a lot more sensible to have loops lower down to increase lockdown?

Hi Dave, great video. I would like to ask if you use the same techiniques for belaying someone when you want to keep someone safe when crossing a risky traverse. You once started with ski mountaneering techniques using th erad line system but it would be nice to keep that series by teaching different ways of building an anchor, for example. Just giving you ideas... BTW, what happened to your Ronin skis? They seemed awesome but I do not see you skiing on them that often.

Très belle exécution, je garde la vidéo sous le coude pour mes journées d’entraînement. Merci😊

ur foot may slip more in the boot

Hey Dave, awesome video and very interesting choice of skis! I find it interesting that you mostly ski 100 and above around the alps as I've found lots of European skiers like the 70 and 80 underfoot. Ever tried Black Diamond skis? I'd be interested in hearing your opinion about them

Hopp turn

Super cool content. Appreciated seeing and learning about: A. The different diameter rap set up with explanation of which rope goes on each side of maillon. B. Carabiner Block to Carabiner Block transition between P1 and P2. C. Flaking the rope ahead of you All three things immediately made sense, but are not intuitive if you haven't seen it. Thank you for sharing!

Any thoughts on the new ATK HY?

Hey Dave, great video! Do you know the reason there are no interchangeable classic picks? The Sum'Tec would be great if you could add a classic pick to it for glacier travel, that way you'd only need one for a wide range of climbing

Stem Christy is the foundation of the most advanced skiing.

Åre .. 😂 shat myself

Stunning cat!

These are great and informative videos! And couldn’t ask for a better backdrop! Wishing you a snowy 24-25 ski season, from rainy Montreal🤨

ever ski on a Shift 2? I've never tried ski touring, but aim to start this year. Not knowing if I like it or not, I'm tempted to throw a shift(2) on a Salomon Echo and give it a go. Figuring if I don't love it, at least I'll have a fun ski for the resort (not the most damp, I'm aware, nevertheless probably decent on powder days)

Bluewater VT prussic offers an alternative to the standard prussic, which can easily be released under load when tied in a Valdotain Tresse. Also gives you another backup rapel device as they won't melt when rapeled on. If rigging the prussic above the rapell device, this is the prussic I would choose.

Paradise.

What an instant classic. Best movies are the ones that inspire, and I’m fired up to get bucking

Can´t you take the earpads off the smiths helmet? that´s what I did at the Vantage. easy tasks

Great video. 14:50 'Ice Climbing' Temres do a lovely longer rubber glove 282-02 ('outdoor work glove') with a cord for cinching the closure. Magic glove, just don't flock your nose with the side of the index finger or you end our like a Red nose reindeer :) Rubber has some aggregate in it for enhanced grip!

I've thought about it quite a bit ... for canyoning the rappels are often very messy with the descender dragging over the rock. I think this will be a lot harder to manage if the descender is further away. Lots of canyoners are using a third hand these days, but I don't think many are using an extension.

Looks like this might work w my R12’s, ATK AL09 FREERIDE SPACERS

I never thought I would characterize a ski turn as sexy, but here I am goin gyatt

Watching Vivian Bruchez do them is a thing of beauty! Unfortunately I always seem to end up with the skis skidding or sliding away a bit too much on landing, leaving me in the back seat.

I got an over helmet hood style face sock. My head has never been so warm!

Jump turn practice!. There are lots of subtleties to this type of turn. The timing of the unweighting of the downhill skill. Getting the pole out of the way. The gradual application of the edge angle to avoid a judder. The easiest way to practice this skill is on a short and easily accessible slope that you can easily side step back up to practice over and over again. Trying it on a hard snow slope (or piste) is best. Start without a bag on then build up the weight to a normal sized ski mountaineering bag, notice how the extra weight changes things. Starting with a slight stem can make the manoeuvre a lot easier when learning but it’s got to aim to not have to do that. A light ski setup will help but you can do this style of turn on any ski as long as you have consistent sharp edges. Find yourself out on the mountain with 15 mins to kill? Get a bunch of these done to practice and you’ll feel a lot more comfortable in the steeps! #steepskiing

Thank you Dave..

Thought you'd be more of a DPS guy?!

Why doesn't Chris thread his hand through and grip the pole straps?

Dave you're such a cool mountaineering-nerd! Thanks for this video!

Nice vid, mate. Congrats. Please remember to tie a stopper knot while rappeling, I know, it'annoying, but saves lives 😊 Cheers and keep on sending. Stay safe 😊

That is the most cat like cat I've ever seen.

No way would I attempt to ski that first one!

You are brave. Going to use my new x3, God willing,in Jungfrau in January 25. I did buy a DJI Mini 2 drone a few years ago but its illegal to use one in the Jungfrau region so I couldn't use it. This camera looks great.
