Solo Climbing Journey | Chasing Daylight

Join me on a two-day solo climbing journey in the Julian Alps.
In today's video, I'm climbing a winter route in high winds, crawling through bushes, baking pizza, and camping in -12°C.

Thank you again for taking us on a beautiful trip Andraz. Your adventures are an inspiration, and as always I wish you safe travels.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for all the support brother 🙏 Kind regards from Slovenia 😊

[@bazookachicken_]

Bro why doesn't this guy have more subs and views- ❤the content!

[@andrazegart]

Much appreciated 🥹❤️

[@zoranpeternelj1160]

Ti si taprav model Andraž! V dobrem smislu! Res lepa hribovska avantura! Srečno še naprej! ❤

[@andrazegart]

Hvala 🙏😊 Srečno in vse dobro tudi tebi!

[@THCgecko25]

I love your videos man! So authentic.. you are the one who motivates me to enjoy mountains more often and do it solo without fear

[@andrazegart]

Thank you, I’m happy to hear that! But please be safe 🙏 Fear should not be ignored. It is there for a reason, and you need to learn how to control it :)

[@howardcobb4354]

Yep another wonderful video, and fascinating pizza making demonstration! Looked very tasty. I did worry about the gas stove having no supporting base to stop it overbalancing but all was ok. Maybe you should do a fundme appeal so we can get you a top 4 seasons sleeping bag - you deserve it. Thanks again, take care and see you next week. H

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! With the pizzas I was definitely learning along the go, but for my first time I think they worked out pretty nice 😅. It would be nice to have a warmer sleeping bag, but I think my current one still gets the job decently done, so I don’t feel like buying a new one just yet :) Much appreciated though!

[@onearmedshinobi4154]

My italian heart hurts with that proscuto XD love you brother keep going with the good stuff!

[@andrazegart]

Wait till you hear about my obsession with tartar sauce on pizza 🤣🤣. Thank you fellow neighbour! Kind regards ❤️

[@remipeeters4156]

Such a good moment to watch your videos. Went to Slovenia 2 summers ago, really enjoyed it. Would like to come back one day during the winter season. Keep it up!

[@andrazegart]

You should! But not this winter, because there’s not much of a winter this year haha. Greetings 🙌

[@Warial01]

Thanks for sharing your good vibes with all the activities you do. Continue like that !what a pleasure to follow the adventure.

[@facit505]

Great vid, a good way to reduce the wetness of things is to let the condensation freeze and then brush it off. Sometimes I leave socks outside my bag, and then brush off and you get dry socks again.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! I have thought of that before, but never actually tried it. Wouldn’t that just work if there’s some condensation on the outside of the fabric?… because usually if I leave my wet socks in the cold they become hard as a rock.

[@mo5934]

Another epic adventure! It looks so beautiful but also so very cold! 🥶 thank you for sharing Andraž!

[@timothyfrench5530]

Appreciated, pushing thru "lazyness" [ c.5' min+ ] (PMA) Positive Mental Attitiude a timely reminder to us all olde or young , or simply young at heart , 2 push thru "stuff" ! Nice bit of humour too... keep 'em coming! 👍😅

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! Yeah it’s quite easy to fall into the trap of laziness, because that self comforting voice is always louder than the one that tells you to do the uncomfortable. That’s why it’s important we remind and encourage each other to keep pushing 🙌

[@epincion]

That mini fat pizza looked delicious. Thanks for this great video. You are a real adventurer. I’m not a fan of cold weather expeditions but the trips you do are very tempting. That scenery was fantastic. You are tough

[@andrazegart]

After a whole day of barely eating anything, that pizza felt like a gift from heaven haha 😋. Thank you brother! 🙏

[@andreasweber7828]

You should consider cooking in a tent in front of audience as a theme. It’s hilarious . At least you’ve had something hot in your belly. That’s fuel for your adventure. Also It’s considerably warmer in your sleeping bag with a warmer insulation underneath. The most warmth gets out of your body via conduction to the ground. I’d spend more money on a warmer pad than a warmer sleeping bag .- for now.

[@emmanuels.3321]

Ketchup on pizza ...... Im going to die. Greetings from italy 👋

[@andrazegart]

🤣🤣 Kind regards fellow neighbour. I hope you can forgive me 🙏🤣

[@facit505]

hahahahahaha!

[@SoopSah420]

100s of spiders nested you say? I believe that calls for complete total nuclear annihilation 😅 lol amazing video, Wow!!! keep them coming boss man and stay safe🙏

[@andrazegart]

Hahahah finally someone on the same page as me 🤣 Time to burn down the whole mountain 🔥🔥 All jokes aside, thank you for the kind words 🙏😀

[@Y0US_S]

thank you for making such a beautiful video 🙏

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for the kind words brother! 🙏

[@ervinslens]

Breathtaking presentation my friend! What a spectacular solo adventure!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you brother 🙏😊

[@luismoramatus]

I love your trips man! I'm always watching them from the comfort of my house :D Really nice adventures!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! I wish you a wonderful day 😊

[@theruggedlands]

Great stuff! Love the tent camping and climbing. Pumped to see more in the future.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you 🙏 more to come!

[@saw6175]

KING IS BACK FINALLY !

[@andrazegart]

🙏🤣

[@FranciscoLopez-hp3kf]

Big ups from Portland Oregon mate!

[@alltoone]

Another nice video! Keep up the good work and stay safe. I was browsing through some of your older videos and would like to ask you if for this winter season will you be posting some ski touring or any other ski related content videos?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you 🙏😊 Yup, will do! But currently we don’t have enough snow for any kind of decent skiing :(

[@x-shadow-x]

The Italians watching would have probably died seeing you put ketchup on pizza XD

[@andrazegart]

I’m their worst nightmare 🤣🤣

[@coutellerievgn8219]

Very good video, you are the best.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you 🙏 No, you’re the best!

[@soarrotmg1364]

I recently found your channel and absolutely love you and your vids. You have such a good attitude when going climbing, it's pretty admirable. I'm curious how you get your gopro to attach to your ice axe? Maybe do a video on how you record your videos? Thanks once again and keep the amazing work up!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for all the kind words brother! 🙏❤️ I made a DIY mount that is fixed to my ice axe with some sort of super strong wateproof glue and zip ties for backup. I will include a short review of this exact mount in one of my future videos 🙌

[@puregreekweed]

NICE !!

[@andrazegart]

🙏🙌

[@tommi.albertini]

I'm italian... aahahahah anyway good video like always!

[@andrazegart]

Hahah I hope I didn’t cause you too much trauma 🤣 Thank you fellow neighbour! 🙌

[@tommi.albertini]

Don’t worry bro😂😂

[@robertbreznikdzeko1576]

Kul !

[@andrazegart]

🙏

[@mountainfanatic]

Zelo kul video, kot tudi vsi preostali! Katero podlogo in spalko pa uporabljaš? A si dal v steklenico za vodo kaj vroče vode in k nogam, da bi delovalo kot termofor?

[@abrahamjupiter8875]

Thank you very much! Take care, avalanches are more dangerous than spiders!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! Well I don’t know if I completely agree. Avalanches can easily be avoided most of the times, but you never know when a spider will jump into your face. And if that happens I’m jumping off a cliff right then and there haha.

[@siirveinsan]

Amazing videos! One short question: do you use gaiters and why?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! Well that totally depends which pants I’m using. If I’m using goretex pants with crampons then no (because crampons tighten the pants around my boots, so no snow can get in). but if I’m not using crampons or in the spring time when it gets warmer I use thinner (non goretex) pants, then I will definitely use gaiters.

[@mattiavalentini9011]

I don't even climb but i love your videos.. keep it up!! (please dont put ketchup on pizza ahah)

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! I’m definitely not doing that again haha… at least not in front of the camera 🤣🤣

[@HariCalzi]

"proscutto" was quite ok, but ketchup on a pizza no my friend! Greetings from Italy 😂👍

[@andrazegart]

Hahaha wait till you hear about my obsession with tartar sauce on pizza 🤣. Italian waiters always hate me when I ask for some tartar sauce 😅. Kind regards fellow neighbour 🙌

[@HariCalzi]

@@andrazegart italian restaurants are probabily afraid of you, you're their nightmare 😂✌🏻

[@andrazegart]

@@HariCalzi 🤣🤣

[@samuelecucchi7044]

it's prosciutto not prushootow ahahahahahahahahhaha always amazing videos btw!!!

[@andrazegart]

Hahah I know, I wrote it in the pronounciation form :) Thank you! 🙏

[@aron7548]

nice

[@andrazegart]

🙏🙌

[@a.clement311]

Can I ask you what are your shoes ? Are these the scarpa ribelle ? I have to buy some new shoes and I don’t know what to decide between these and the la sportiva nepal extreme

[@andrazegart]

I’m using Scarpa Mont Blanc Pro… but I wouldn’t recommend them, because they’re outdated.

[@nikcezar2445]

11:14 ur right

[@pavelelijasmrtnik7806]

bravo! kere cpine pa maš?

[@andrazegart]

Hvala! Za plezarijo imam Grivel the tech machine :) Za ksne grape alpa turne pa The light machine.

[@Bongo40]

Any pizza is good in the mountains 😂

[@andrazegart]

For sure 🙌. When you’re starving it all tastes delicious 😀

[@alfredknarreborg6384]

when are you going for mount blanc

[@andrazegart]

I already had it booked last summer, but we had to cancel it due to bad weather… Maybe this year.

[@781mm]

sm ze kr caku na nov video. Top pizza di donnato 😂. Drgac pa hud video uzivas kokr je treba

[@andrazegart]

Hvala ti! 🙏😊

[@Bongo40]

Where are we ?

[@andrazegart]

A mountain called Rušni vrh. (near Bohinj)

[@namelastname2449]

Shoooooo! You need a sponsor brother. Do you have Twitter?

[@andrazegart]

Shooo. That would be nice, maybe one day :) Nope, I do not have twitter 🙃

[@Hmubbhhjf]

Be careful using your stove in the tent. If there is no wind to provide airflow the carbon monoxide will collect in the tent. A few climbers on Everest have died this way!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for your worries 🙏 I could feel a cold breeze blowing through the door the whole time I was cooking, so I don’t think there was much of a hazard :)

[@emanuelverza1793]

I'm italian, but for this time I forgive you :)

[@andrazegart]

Hahah thank you 🙏 next time will be better 🤣

[@johnsteinbeck845]

I confirm that Italians are watching your video and you should say prosciutto and not proscuto.

[@andrazegart]

Roger that 🫡🤣

[@f1l1p63]

Your content is amazing and we all thank you! Big respect for covering all these adventures on cam ❤️ Im very curious to know which model is that hardshell, could you also make a video where you speak about your equipment? Im sure you gonna do it super systematic.. Thank you again 🙏 Take care!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you, I really appreciate it ❤️ The hardshell is Mountain equipment Garwhal magma :) And yes, I do plan to make such a video sometime in the future!

[@anikagorjup8933]

another video that made my day🤩 the amount of motivation you give me is insane because i know how much preparation and will it takes to go on all your adventures and that forces me to do all my things😂 also the fat pizzas-a great move😂🤌

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! It means a lot to hear that 🙏😊 The mini pizzas are definitely my favourite camping food so far, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement 😅🤣
