Alpine Climbing | McKibben Route M5

McKibben route is on the AA Buttress in the icefield Parkway. Due to short day in January and a long drive we didn’t get to finish the route and decided to safely bail.

Was looking for an alpine mountain climbing channel with little to no music edits or introduction. I was blessed with your channel. I love to be feeling immersed by the sounds of the wind & the climbing. Hell yeah 👍🏻 keep up the work.

I'm only 3:15 in but I had to stop to say I have been researching mountaineering for a while and I have gotten to the point now where I'm ordering gear for some smaller stuff (maybe Mt. Whitney winter mountaineering course). Anyway, I have 2 pairs of those gloves you are wearing (Temres 282-02?) or some close to them? I also noticed what appeared to be C.A.M.P crampons and I looked into those too but didn't buy yet. It makes me feel good that other people are using the gear I picked after researching so I think I'm on the right track as far as equipment selection.

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Hey! Yeah the showas (temres) are great gloves! I’m actually using the petzl darts! They are good technical crampons.

[@cwagner122]

Those gloves as good as I've read??? Ordered a few pairs off Amazon today so I hope so if not only out like $60 bux so worth the risk lol

[@alpinegremlin4408]

They are super solid!! I’m happy with mine. I have good circulation so I’m super warm in them

[@cwagner122]

@@alpinegremlin4408 nice! Stoked on em ty sir

[@ciankircher5190]

What dont you like about dmm? I love them but i also live 20 mins from their factory which might make me a lil biased

[@alpinegremlin4408]

I actually like them! But my climbing gloves were a little wet so my thumb was slipping of the nub!

[@毅加藤-s1b]

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Your a lot of totems

[@tacul9333]

Totems! Somewhere in the Canadian Rockies, I assume, based on the rock you're climbing?

[@alpinegremlin4408]

You are on it! this is on the AA buttress up the icefield parkway

[@ski4life9]

[@peteredwards5298]

That was pretty good for the Canadian rockies lol

[@peteredwards5298]

@@ski4life9yes and y’all are crazy. With that being said I can’t wait to climb there

[@terrellmcgee5980]

Nice climb

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Thanks!

[@stefanosapostle9139]

Sick video, does this place get less chossy in the spring as it fills in, or is this standard operations in the Canadian Rockies as far as mixed climbing goes?

[@alpinegremlin4408]

It definitely varies. This pitch is on the looser side but to my understanding the upper pitches improve in quality.

[@chriso1910]

Nice climb! Which filming equipment are you using?

[@alpinegremlin4408]

Just a good old GoPro!
