I don't think iv'e ever seen a channel more under rated than yours.. Imagine Discovery channel trying to make a show out of this. The show would be a season long, and highlight every single danger 1000 times, with super intense music, huge budget, etc. It's all too casual, how you guys are doing this incredible epic trip. I love watching you guys this is crazy.

[@eblanco2172]

3:15 That's an excellent book, "The open veins of Latin America", by the Uruguayan novelist, journalist and poet Eduardo Galeano. Good for you young man, I appreciate your love for nature, for your passion and for learning from the good reading. Good luck!

[@blainewinters8492]

Ok I've already watched this 3 times and it's still not getting old. Incredible man. I am blown away at your progression as a climber and an alpinist. So stoked for ya.

[@benwolpert]

Thank you Ima for making that incredible sponsors list at the end. That was hilarious :p

[@kurtstolzenburg544]

Dude you guys are such stars.... and real matte, dang really covered all the bases...thousands of miles, food spreads like a Vegas buffet, and a 5.6 splitter crack as a point of fulfillment.....definitely another great adventure for all of us hacking away back here in the concrete jungle.... thanks for the effort.... viva la cumbre! 🐺👍🧗🏻‍♂️👊😎✅

KZbin's greatest Bromance.

[@a.g7509]

I watch them, my friend, with the light in my eyes, with all my heart and passion. At that moment, my heart flutters with excitement. this is an incredible visual feast

[@AshBreather]

I've watched a lot of climbing videos on KZbin, and none of them have made me want to get [back] into climbing as much as your videos, dude.

[@mattdimona412]

love the smiles and the flute. this is pretty incredible. glad somebody enjoying the glaciers before they go. footage is amazing man! like lord of the rings! dunno about the climbing personally but camping on the glacier looked pretty fun haha. you guys are living life, so rad. sending love

[@johnganshow5536]

Hubbard Glacier in Alaska is advancing, as well as Glaciers in Greenland, Antarctica and other areas around the planet..

[@entreadapt]

@@johnganshow5536 Exactly this whole global warming BS is just a political agenda.

[@trharrington22]

@@entreadapt especially when you consider the billion years on no I glaciers.

[@Wc_83]

Stumbled upon your stuff a few days ago and have been watching every night. I'm hooked on the love and passion you have for nature, and the friends you get to experience it with.

[@aluminumbeluga]

watched the video all the way through! such beautiful scenery and faces. really good job on this video man it was a pleasure to watch

[@tekknoforu]

f**king psyyyyched! amazing climbing & good vibes from the both of you. love everything about this, start to finish.

[@DanA-bt7dr]

Just finished this (and the Gripped article too!) What a great adventure. Fav parts of the video: Anytime Ima starts a sentence with "Tyler Karow"

[@jamiegibbin8138]

Super inspiring! Roughly how much did the trip cost both of you (not including gear)?

[@tylerkarow]

About a grand each not including food. The cost was pretty much just one night in a hostel, a couple short taxis, flights and oversized bag fees which we were able to keep relatively low. We hitchhiked around, got rides from friends and stayed with people we met to keep things cheap.

[@Crewmaac2]

This place is super sketchy... proceeds to ski without hesitation...Love it!

[@user-dg9ti5gq4e]

I love these videos, just climbing, and commentary, no BS

[@rileysasaki5203]

looked like an awesome trip. Nice sends all around, making the best of inclement weather. thanks for the google doc write-up, keep up the great work!

[@truthaboveall7988]

u guys have the most incredible energy & wow what shots u got for us. also, u guys made some yummy food as well. impressed.

[@jon-williammurphy9780]

Ima doing the introductions like a documentary narrator: Here is Tyler Karow, sending the gnar, etc. is so fucking funny, Ima is the man

[@joshuacilliers2723]

Really enjoyed the dynamic between you two! Rad trip man.

[@applegatearts]

Thanks for this great video! That area was always on my list but I never made it. You made me feel how great a place it is (and what I missed). And bailing off routes really brings it home! That is climbing!!😅😢Thanks!!!!!!

[@rivermanochio1430]

all this content recently has been so inspiring thank you so so much Tyler !

[@okdgltc]

What's the odd! I was visiting the Alaska and took the glacier landing tour two weeks ago and i can clearly remember to see your folks' tents from high up.

[@bk341]

Newly found favorite channel. I don’t even climb or have any interest in it. It’s just such a perfect vibe.

[@Sicnus]

Such and adventure. Thank you so much for bringing all of us along. Loved it!

[@nicolaistolwijk]

just the vibe of this video is so amazing, best expedition video i've ever seen

[@zzzck]

Chess and games are key element of any expedition. Ninja, hacky sack... Imanol being a Basque probably likes to drink like fish.

[@billiam12345678910]

Such a sick video! Love your channel Tyler! You guys kill it every time!

[@themeatpopsicle]

Dang dude you get the best climbing partners ever.

[@OFFTH3topic]

Damn, wish I could afford this amazingness. Nice work!!

[@ticklefritz5406]

Super fun watch, you guys are awesome, literally. Fantastic edit, beautiful food, way to live fellas.

[@MrFg1980]

Nice view of the Cobra Pillar...we camped near the base of it on one trip..

[@loopghost]

Great times. I spent a couple weeks on the Ruth and Pika just ski mountaineering and eating big meals. This was a great memory refresher.

[@SneekinNeek]

pure friendship right here dang

[@Baasicstuff]

I envy you all wish I was 20 years younger, I was busy overseas doing other adventures but never got into the climbing. I head out on some local adventures closer to home these days

[@letteratura2]

Better than a Netflix movie

[@francoisappere268]

Epic as usual! Thanks for sharing your rad adventures!

[@derSchreii]

So wonderful to watch this video. Thanks you very much and keep safe ❤️

[@Barbiemerritt]

I like listening to beach house when im camped on a glacier too

[@Toohighforthiswaterhash]

Amazing energy from both of you. So enjoyable to watch!

[@pmgephart]

Looks like you and Ima had a blast! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@jeffreyvontobel6440]

The flute playing in the rap station just cracks me up

[@angeladoms]

Fantastic watch with superb climbing .... looked like the time of your life had here, both legends 👌😊

[@touchet4462]

yall, are some powerhouses. awesome video

[@neverstop.exploring]

playing the flute hanging from the wall... priceless

[@brandibright2082]

Y'all are insane I have been building houses and other tall buildings but can't see myself doing what y'all do. Y'all definitely have bigger cocoanuts than me stay safe and God bless. Clay from mobile Alabama

[@skytpe6096]

Best climbing video ever

[@andresgalvez]

Oh what dude. Bonkers. Way to go.

[@TheMrJacksonny]

Awesome video man, thank you for sharing

[@timjames1274]

Epic video bro! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. It's great to ride along with you and your awesome friends. Keep 'em coming! Stay safe-ish...

[@alwayshiking_]

Great video! Do all climbers eat that well? Good Lord, I bet you are so much healthier and happier than most backpackers ...

[@AMorgan57]

How cool is playing the flute 1,000 ft up on the side of a cliff above a glacier, with an avalanche in the background?

[@howler6490]

I played harmonica sitting on the point of the Cioche on Skye.Does that count?

[@garydrawsandpaints7745]

Flew onto the Ruth glacier 40 years ago for McKinley and you really caught the vastness of the whole scene. I just wish we would have ate as well as you. Beautiful video. Congrats

[@crakkbone]

Denali?

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

Unreal. Do you guys ever get tired?

[@davidkoch5018]

This is my absolute dream... Sadly I had to cancel my year in BC because of covid, but i´ll make it some day!

[@Kraken_Meister]

Siiiiiick! Looks like a bucket list trip for sure

[@epincion]

Flipping Awesome trip although that off width you climbed in the mist looked nasty. I felt those scraped hands.

[@ritual301]

Hell yeah man. Amazing video. You just got yourself another sub. Thank you and take care!

[@AlaskaB83]

One of the world's great climbing destination, no doubt

[@Landolini]

Sick video dude! That place looks wild. Like chamonix but way out there. Gets me psyched for summer

[@Qoddalol]

Man that looks like quite the adventure!

[@Locoandchooch]

Beautiful, what a rush.

[@cmfanell]

Tyler and Ima, what blue microfleece are you wearing? It looks like it adapts well over your chin which I like a lot. Loved the video! Thanks in advance!

[@activeanonymous5014]

Awesome. Looks exhilarating! Stay Active!

[@ketamama]

What an amount of plane traffic there is

[@scottfay3553]

Dude you guys got huge sacks. Awesome to see it

[@DrPratualrana]

Fuck yeah I-am psyched after watching this

[@McEspada]

Soooooo stoked to go outside and just send it

[@liamd6238]

Absolutely sick fucking video dude!!! I wanna get out to that part of Alaska sometime in the next few years hopefully

[@valmontina]

Ima's sponsors are the best 😂

[@viz4320]

I recognize every song you played aside from the classical music...you got goood music taste Tyler

[@rangomick]

Hey! Do you know the song at 14:23 ? I have heard it before but can't remember the name, thanks :)

[@garywheaton7112]

Loved this video!!

[@armandmatossian2081]
