My current passion is motorcycle touring, both multiday, long distance, and single day. Mostly rural roads with nice mountain scenery. Enjoy the freedom and self-reliance required in the face of whatever obstacles arise. I know exactly what you mean when you discuss the importance of passion in our lives. I am 73 and have always understood the importance of passion in my life. Thanks for raising this topic, sharing it with us, and asking for feedback

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for sharing your story! I’m really happy to hear that 😊 And I wish you all the best on all your future tours! Safe travels my friend 🙌

[@remekk8437]

My passion is climbing and although I dream of conquering peaks such as Mount Blanc Matterhorn and Cerro Torre, I am 15 years old and I cannot climb due to the lack of people with whom I could share my passion and the mountains around me, but your films show me the beauty of the mountains and teach me, I am grateful.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for the support! 🙏 I’m really happy to hear that, and I can tell you those peaks you’re dreaming of, are closer than you think… You’re younger than I was when I started climbing, so if you’re really passionate about it, and are willing to put in the hours, you’ll get there sooner or later. But be safe! Especially at the beginning. The process can’t be rushed. You have to be around and learn from experienced mountaineers/alpinists who will guide you in the righ direction. I recommend you find the nearest alpine/climbing club in your area and ask them if they offer alpine courses. Not only will you learn all about alpinism, you will also find new climbing friends who also need a partner to rope up. And if you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask me on Instagram or patreon :)

Mountainnering is my passion. Began rock climbing 11 months ago and love It, alpinism is my preferred activity…for now. The reason for practising mountain-related sports are the same thank yours. I only worry about the next step I have to make and every other concern fades away (plus I like the views and the activity keeps me focused for the constant need to be better at what we do out there, for self preservation). If I could not do It my system would shut down eventually. I recharge batteries during the weekend and my mountainnering days are sacred hehee. I only wished I could do It during the week too… in the meantime I watch your videos during the week until weekend arrives. Congratulations for the splendid channel you have and take care out there!

[@andrazegart]

Couldn’t have said it better! It’s funny because when you’re out climbing in the mountains you drain all of your energy… but at the same time you feel like you recharged all of your batteries… if you know what I mean haha. Thank you for the kind words! Stay safe & have fun out there 😀

Thank you! I climbed it on 26. March. (Planjava - wisiakova grapa)

[@Emerald_City_]

Some skillful camera work you've got there, Andraž! Also your narrative is laconic but perfect, very solid command of English. I would just not be ashamed to name the peak at the beginning of the film. After all it's a documentary. Couldn't recognize it in winter conditions, but only at the top when you showed that it was Planjava west summit I remembered I climbed a route there long long time ago, one of my few sends of V. So your descent was via Srebrno sedlo? Orličje?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you brother! 🙏😊 Yeah, maybe I should put the route name and date of climb in every video description :) Nice, what route did you climb, if you remember? Yup, I descended over Srebrno sedlo into Repov kot :)

[@Emerald_City_]

@@andrazegart it was somewhere in 1984, maybe 1983 or even 1982 or similar, I forgot the route name but think it was X, Steber Planjave. I just remember at the very end high up when it's most exposed there was a small overhang, about 3-4 meters high, and that was V, that rest was easier. I climbed it with Tomaž Gosar, I don't even know if he's still alive... he was leading the pitch there.

Thank you for another pleasant and (for me) somewhat scary ride. My way to relax is cycling and your energy bars very much remind me of it. 🙃 But why do you have to do the ice baths? I am starting to tremble before every end of your video because I know it is coming 😂

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! I’m happy to hear that! And I wish you safe travels on your bike rides 🙌 Hahah I hate doing it, but I do it because there are so many benefits from ice baths… Just to name a few: - better blood circulation - regeneration is much much quicker - you feel more energetic - better immune system - and of course it builds your mental strength immensely

Hey man great video.....again! :) I am wondering what camera setup do you use? I havent found any video from you about that....like how many batteries you spend in such a day? And in what program do you do after editing? Do you have any preset in regarding the colours? THx!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! Yeah, I haven’t talked about that in any of my videos yet, but for 95% of the time I’m using the gopro hero 10, and every now and then I also record some shots with my iphone 13mini. I usually spend 2-3 full enduro batteries with my gopro… sometimes even 4 (on 2-day journeys). All of my editing I do with Adobe premiere pro 2020, and if needed I also use the Adobe after effects 2020 for graphics.. I don’t have any color presets, since I only do color correction if there are big color temperature differences.

Hey love your videos, how do you deal with Crevasse hazard while going solo?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! Well there are no glaciers in Slovenia, so there aren’t any “real” crevasses. But in the spring time there can be such cracks (like the one in the video) which are usually formed because of the snow melting… most often where the rock meets the snow. Those can also be dangerous, but they are more predictable and usually visible from a distance.
