Solo Winter Climbing in Sketchy Conditions

[@keithhogg1963]

I’m glad you felt comfortable enough To turn around. And go back down. Instead of let’s see what I can do. There’s always another time. To try it again. Even if it’s next year. And plenty of other places to climb. Where you live. It’s all beautiful there. Again always enjoy your videos. 😊

People, keep an eye on this young one, the force is with him

[@andrazegart]

Hahah thanks 😊🤣

[@namelastname2449]

@@andrazegart for real. You are something young padawan

[@paulhomsy2751]

Well done !! Listen to your gut feeling everytime you're in this type of situation. Smart move to go down. You'll climb it another time under better ice conditions.

Wise decision

Great climb! I am happy to see pitons being used in the alpine again :D

[@andrazegart]

Thank you 😀. Yeah, they’re the best!

Pozdravljen Andraž. Uf, kako me je zagrabila nostalgija.Pred kratkim opazil tvoje posnetke. Ko sem gledal tale video sem si rekel, tole pa ne bo šlo, ja nekam " švoh" sneg. In res se, čez nekaj časa odločiš prekiniti vzpon in za "abzajl". Pametna, pogumna in pravilna odločitev. Želim ti še naprej tako trezno glavo in kanček sreče, ki je potrebna za takšne podvige. Uživam in obujam spomine ob gledanju. Srečno.

[@andrazegart]

Hvala, me veseli ko slišim kaj takega od plezalcev/ alpinistov starejše generacije. Srečno tudi vam!

I really love the filming in this, what is the camera details?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you. It's a GoPro hero 10.

[@bombeu]

improvement and the right attitude, i like what i see and i prefer you alive ;) ... solid improvement compared to the free solo under sketchy conditions. But what do prefere, your hand on the rock or this type of gear climbing? Great vid, smooth climb and smart decisions.

[@CasaDelMandar]

good decision making. nice job

[@andrazegart]

Thanks 🙌

[@gauravbundel4413]

Hey Andraz, great climbing video. What about the gear (anchor rope, pitons) you left behind? Will you go back again to collect? What I'm trying to figure out is Can I trust the pitons put on by someone else?

[@andrazegart]

No, I won't go back to collect them. So other climbers can use them aswell. Whenever you find pitons that other climbers left behind you have to test them with you hammer if they're any good. With a few hits you can quickly judge their stability. If they're solid and not too rusty, then you can ofcourse trust them. But if they're wiggly or rusty, then it's best to take it out and replace it.

[@andrazegart]

And thanks for the kind words 😊

Do you prefer to leave pitons instead of nuts?

[@andrazegart]

Yeah ofcourse. They’re cheaper and here in the Alps you can much easier find a piton placement.
