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?
@lukasfournier 13 күн бұрын
@@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? 😅

Realistically the risk of crevasse fall is much lower than the rest of the exposure on this climb

Great work! Such a pleasure to see this. In 2017 my team and I made it to Zebra Rocks (maybe ~2:45 in this video?) just above Denali pass before we had to turn around for one of our guys. If I get a chance to go back, you may have convinced me to bring the whole ski kit up there. But boy howdy, I can remember that shortness of breath and baseline panting!

We were skiing under Atwell in 1974 on wooden xcountry skinny skis. Climbed up SE face in a col to the top. It was a bit steep and exposed as I recall. No axe or rope but the snow was solid and we were able to kick steps and dig in our bamboo pole handles for some protection. Nice view from the top. My 3pin ski boots didn't have vibraam soles so it was a bit sketchy in spots coming down. Weather can come in fast up there. Take care.

Yeah basically dishwashing gloves with a liner on the inside, not originally designed for ice climbing but pretty popular in the community these days. They’re good when it’s not very cold because they have a lot of grip. You can also add more liners on the inside for colder days. If you’re interested in getting them they size pretty small, so if you’re normally a Large in gloves go for XL, they’re called Showa Temres 282-02

Thank you! Conditions are everything and everyday is different, but I climbed it again earlier this year with a few other people and some sections were a lot easier than the first time around just because the snow was better. Descending by foot is definitely doable just a lot less pleasant.
