The FIFTY - 44/50 - SPLIT - Tragedy and Triumph in Split Couloir - FULL FILM

[@drexrew]

I am constantly amazed by Bjarne, he is climbing and skiing this near impossible and dangerous terrain right next to Cody, he is also capturing it in world class cinematography. He has to concentrate on not only not dying, but making sure everything they are doing is captured on camera and looks amazing. He is an elite ski mountaineer and cinematographer.

[@JourneysFlow]

Agree 100%! Unbelievable partnership between those two!

[@bjarnebuilds]

Thanks for the kind words, Andrew. It's not always easy, that's for sure. The more we know our partners out there in the mountains, what they are good at and how we work as a team the better. Cody and I spent a lot of time together and I feel we getting stronger and stronger together.

[@felipesixshooter]

Still watching but JFC Cody you do SUCH a good job at explaining decision making and emotions in the mountains. “It’s a mix of relief and disappointment” hits so deep.

[@CodyTownsend]

Thank you for that. Means a lot to hear. Much appreciated.

[@TheVirtualsherpa]

@@CodyTownsendjust finished and almost tearing up. So proud of you two. Massive congrats for the perseverance

​@@TheVirtualsherpayo I love your videos too!

Cody's back! Yeehaw! Nice work guys!

[@james.wright696]

Incredible line and even more incredible decision making! This series really sets the standard for smart ski mountaineering. Love your work team 🙏

[@matthewrocha26]

Unbelievable episode!!!! Sooo many correct choices. I would say this may be my favorite episode so far! Thank you for going longer format and not breaking it up into 2-3 episodes. It really helped keep the continuity and story for me going. Amazing work by everyone involved!!

[@CodyTownsend]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dougschad7340]

My fav video in your series also. Great call to climb back out in Feb. Check that one off. Ski that deep pow!! Love those parts of your videos that us mortal skiers can relate to, skiing on an epic day, hiking maybe a minute -even in-bounds.

[@ewik939]

The fact that you guys show this level of backing out and committing to safety, will spill on to a whole generation of beginner backcountry skiers and definitely save lives for years to come. You guys are building a whole ski culture around smart decision making and respectful group dialogues in the mountains. So grateful for that every time I’m the only girl in a group of dudes and something doesn’t feel right. Same goes for guys speaking up to other guys I guess, especially when there are different experience levels etc. THANK you for empowering those doubts and smart decisions, I’d rather speak up and back out than end up in a scary or life threatening situation.

[@johnnykruick]

I love how Bjarne could sense your hesitation and gave the "Listen to your gut. Take a couple of deep breaths and listen to your gut." He knew it and you knew it. Just needed to initiate the group discussion. Nick's response "I'm not going to convince you guys, I think we should climb back out if you're not feeling it." Solid crew!

[@misterb.s.8745]

100% the kind of guy you want to be in the mountains with

[@zughoytim]

Definitely the RIGHT decision to turn back the first time this year. Small doubts add up to big problems! Amazing film, so glad you're back at it!

[@CodyTownsend]

Totally agree. The patience paid off in the end.

[@conrbil]

I’ll bet this video saves lives this year, it’s ok to turn around, it’s ok not to ski it, it’s ok to listen to you gut. These mountains have been here for a million years and will be here for a few million more….have patience: “do rad shit and get home to the family” my favorite quote!

[@MegaSmadge]

This was a great episode! At 64, I am now part of the old not bold ski mountaineer clan. Of course the cinematography by Bjarne was yet again fantastic and the line unbelievable but, the focus on decision making was great to see. Far too often this aspect of alpine work is glossed over. I could spend hours sharing moments I’ve spent with my team coming to terms with risk acceptance or voting to bail out as a group.

[@TheMaxpower777]

the difference in snow coverage when you guys tried the first decent vs the last is nuts, looks like a completely different line when you are standing above it. Epic Stuff

[@teotouzet4279]

Let’s go, the fifty is back baby !!! 🎉

[@richardparker4703]

Been guiding since 1977 with lots of time around 4,000 meters. Simply LOVED the excellent decision making, the bailing when it wasn't right and then getting the line when it was OK. There is so much learning here. I hope many, many young "hard hitters" will watch, reflect, and learn. A master class on how it is done safely and well! Barvo.

[@CodyTownsend]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jamestaylor9520]

Found this channel and binge watched for the last 4 hours. Makes me want to quit my job, sell my house, and buy a winter rig and live on the mountains all winter. Glad people like you exist.

[@CodyTownsend]

Who's saying you can't? In all seriousness, thank you James.

[@jamestaylor9520]

@CodyTownsend hit my military retirement in a few years, then on to my passions, until then weekends will have to do. Get to live vicariously though you guys until then 🇺🇸

[@GinandNat]

We don't deserve this content but yet we receive. I have never been more impressed by Bjarne, Cody, and everyone else on the team.

[@Ice_Coast_Ski]

Respect the skier not for what he chooses to ski, but for what he chooses not to ski… thanks for the (cautious) inspiration Cody! Deeply meaningful.

[@jasonslater5015]

I live for these, been backcountry skiing since I was 12 and this project has made me a much better skier helping me plan differently and prepare better. I love how real they are with why they do what they do and not just making it look like every other ski film where everything goes perfectly the whole time. This is what it is actually like to go touring good and bad.

[@Luke.M.]

It's been awesome watching the significant development since episode 1/50; this episode felt like a culmination of everything gained in mountaineering skills and decision making. It was also nice to watch just the two of you work your way through the successful attempt in the end. Best episode yet in my opinion for the story, cinematography, editing and soundtrack!

[@bjarnebuilds]

Thank you, glad you like it!

[@Trish.Norman]

💯% “a culmination of everything gained in mountaineering skills and decision making”. Well said!!!

[@andyman127]

It is so cool to see your decision making and mountaineering approach evolve and mature. It had been great to watch, learn and grow alongside these videos.

[@johnmetz1702]

An incredible episode! Learning to say "not today" has got to be one of the most important lessons in life. Very glad to have you all emphasizing that in this series.

[@Toniezzz]

It's popcorn time ya'all (Bjarne did an amazing job capturing it, again!)! I agree with all the positive comments below. I appreciate it very much that you take us with you on the journey. The planning, the risks, some "failed*" attempts (*it's not failing if you live another day and learned from it!} and the very much earned reward. Keep it up, and stay "making sense" as a team!

[@christophermorath6866]

Amazing job guys, this adventure had me on the edge of my seat. I like the fact that you Bjarne feed off of each other with the decision making. This series has really drawn me in. I anxiously wait for the next episode. Stay safe as you chase your dream.

[@sacjusticeforyou]

Wow!!! Frickin EPIC Journey!! The cinematography is absolutely beyond words. Oscar worthy. I was on the edge of couch during that descent & rappel. Trusting that board as an anchor point. Wow!!! You guys are amazing. Keep on sending it!! The toast to Kip & Allison brought me to tears. You guys are pure souls. Namaste’ 🙏💕🕉

[@vashusan1984]

Cody and Bjarne, this is your finest film to date. Absolutely legendary accomplishment. Your storytelling and film making are top notch! Thanks for taking us along!

[@SeekingSnow]

I feel like this line necessitated highly objective-specific mental training on that particular mountain in order to accomplish your goal. If mental muscle was more tangible, you'd all look like the Hulk! Way to go on waiting for the right time to do this one and skiing to live another day. Hats off to capturing your honest on-site narration, your thoughts and feelings throughout this Split Mt. saga. High Fives all around for crafting it all into an emotionally moving story, and sharing the bonds you've all created with each other through this shared adventure. It been a pleasure boys and girls :) Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mark

[@renuvatos1325]

Cody I do really appreciate that you take the risks seriously in these lines and are totally willing to turn around and wait for another day. No other way to show what's possible with patience and level headed decision making.

[@CodyTownsend]

Thank you.

[@danshepard5083]

Congratulations! A line made even more epic by not going epic.

[@attemoilanen4848]

Turning back that many times during series has made you my heroes. If I am ever going to have twins, I am naming them Cody and Bjarne, no matter if they’re boys or girls. Congrats for the success. Happy to see you being rewarded after so many tries.

[@bjarnebuilds]

Thanks for the kind words. From my personal experience most people can't pronounce my name over here so Cody might be easier :)

[@CaliforniaRiding]

Wow....just amazing! The amount of Grit to enjoying such amazing views, and have those types of experiences on this amazing Earth. So, much inspiration, you'll never know how thankful some of us truly are, Gracias!!!!🙏🕊

[@nobodyisbest]

I absolutely love this show. It is a super-honest look at what ski mountaineering is really like. The gnarlier a line, the more you can expect to have to turn back, tail between your legs. And I am glad that you're showing all that, instead of just showing the triumph part of it. Thank you so much, Cody Townsend and Bjarne Salen, for your honesty and the hours of entertainment and inspiration that your videos provide!

[@CodyTownsend]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@TonyMignella]

I agree, your best film yet! Fantastic storytelling! I really appreciated seeing your decision making and your patience to get it right. You guys got me so stoked to climb and ski this winter! 🤘 Also, I loved the Pad Thai explosion 🤣

[@CodyTownsend]

Thank you a ton for that. Though I have to disagree, Pad Thai explosions in sub zero temps are in reality, quite shitty.

[@peterlansdale1793]

Beyond all the physical feats, I'm impressed by how the crew kept the good vibes going throughout. The eastern Sierras will do that to ya.

[@editorbuck]

Amazing as always. I'd love to see a behind the scenes bonus feature where you talk more about the nuts and bolts of filming these lines. I see the notice in the disclaimer about using drones within while respecting wilderness zone restrictions, I'd love to hear more of the discussion where you & Bjarne talk about things like what camera gear/setups you decide to take on any given project and how you make those filming decisions. I think it would be really neat to hear the decision making process, and maybe talk about the editing/assembling process where you figure out how to get these shots, all the pre-planning that goes into shooting something like this, and then the needing to potentially improvise/change plans when you get on the mountain. I'd like to hear the process of getting the best quality you can while not compromising safety and how you make those kinds of decisions.

[@captaindoeverything]

. . . and 3 men shall be king in the Land of Gnar . . . what an episode and adventure, pure in every way.

Your approach and consideration to your adventures is very applicable to life in general and I appreciate your enthusiasm and bravery and dedication to your dream. Here's to 50!

[@mtadams2009]

The mountains will always be there, this was written by Royal Robbins decades ago. Actually Cody I will be happy for you and especially your family when this classic 50 comes to an end. The risk vs reward was a bit off. This one was more for single people. Happy to see your safe and that your skills are so strong and you backed off a couple of times. Take care

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

Makes me feel incredibly grateful for chair lifts and groomed runs and I am someone who loves climbing mountains.

[@jougabriel]

So respectable how you respect the mountain. Some clear-headed decision making on that cold February day 👍

[@neiljones8010]

These episodes just keep getting better and better. When I saw it was 50 mins long I was a bit worried that the quality would drop but boy was I wrong! Great insights into decision making at critical moments and the real challenges of skiing some of the most extreme and challenging lines on the planet.

[@Ambot51]

Had my heart pounding until the very end. Nice work, boys.

[@briseboy]

It's the irritating music. Heart tries to follow rhythms.

[@CubwithaJ]

In the first 11 minutes of this episode, I could tell it's going to be a favorite.

[@steveberthel7685]

I've been waiting for this new episode for awhile, and it does not disappoint! I have been a back country telemark skier for many years, never at the level you and your circle of friends are at, but I have skinned in the dark to watch the sunrise. In 2019 I suffered a fatal cardiac arrest while walking my dog. I was told that I would never ski, mountain bike, raft or canoe again. I said wat CV h me. I am not able to ski big peaks unless I'm on a chairlift, but I do what I can do. Thanks to you and Bjarne for the most excellent series and doing it responsibly! All the best to you guys!!

[@bradjaffke4353]

This video should be watched by every person that ventures into the mountains. The decision making here is top notch. Hell…nick was 200 ft down when they pulled the plug in feb. That takes some guts. Nicely done gents. Also….a 2x4 for a deadman anchor…I love it

[@Jay-tc9on]

Reminds me a lot of "Into Thin Air" and the importance of setting and abiding by a turnaround time. You guys made the right call to bail on that first attempt, great to show that in the video as well, you serve as an example to a lot of people.

[@kyleh1251]

I'm disappointed that your channel only has 140K subscribers (given some of the other non-sense out there that has millions). Cody, I have been watching you for a while. This is by far the BEST of the FIFTY series you have done. Your humbleness, humility, and credibility echoes in this video. Keep up the good work. Best channel on youtube.

[@Jimbocker]

This was awesome. Loved seeing the decision making process. Loved seeing the teamwork. Bjarne is a partner of the highest quality. You guys make a fantastic team!

[@bjarnebuilds]

Thank you. Glad you like it. As a team we are strong together. Many years in the books and more to come. Stronger and stronger together each year.

[@SchmidtymeTimbers]

100%! Seeing this teamwork gives me good vibe chills just watching it. Literally pointing out parts to my wife as I'm watching going, that level of friendship and teamwork is why I go to the mountains! Stoked for winter this year!

[@bjarnebuilds]

That's a good reason going to the mountains, I like it.@@SchmidtymeTimbers

[@SchmidtymeTimbers]

[@devinj2401]

Such an epic episode. Huge respect for your decision making and playing it safe. Having been on that mountain, the amount of rocks that fall into the couloir is insane.

[@CodyTownsend]

Having spent a lot of time with that mountain I concur

[@owenwedge]

I guided a winter accent up the north face back in mid 2000. The ski back down the north face was epic. 2 feet of blower powder, wished I was on some fatter skis than my Karhu guide and speed bindings. I have looked down that couloir many times thinking of skiing it, but never did. Great job.

[@brettwebber272]

Been following this series a few seasons now....in skiing we often exaggerate "BEST"...In my opinion..on so many levels...the "smart choices" made...the determination to persevere safely...this episode is my "Best"...the capstone is the toast at the end.... RIP!..& Thank you!!!

[@CodyTownsend]

Thank you Brett. It ended up being one of my favorite episodes and journeys too. It took a ton of hard personal conversations, a ton of determination and patience but it paid off in ways I couldn't have imagined.

[@johnnykruick]

the level of commitment to safety is admirable! the ability to stop, reassess, and conclude as a group that the best decision was to climb back up and out of there after getting a good ways into it is so highly respected. it is a tough thing to do once you've begun the descent on any line, let alone one that seems so fleeting. mad proud of you guys!

Wow! Now that was an adventure and a half! Really enjoyed the feature length episode, you can show so much more of the challenges and decision making along the way. 50 minutes flew by. Patience and commitment at its peak. Having to repeatedly turn around must be such a difficult choice, but the right one in the end. Nice work, everybody. And another award to Bjarne for the amazing shots he gets. Sounds like you might have engaged a writer too, some nice poetic commentary at the beginning. And thanks to the sponsors for funding and allowing us to enjoy the content for free here on KZbin. I'm kinda hoping for a DVD set at the end of it all lol

Time to watch the rest…. there’s obviously more to tell. Alright, just finished. Cody, you and Bjarne and the whole team truly are doing the sport proud. The decision making, the story telling, the cinematography, the humor and everything, ending with achieving your goal safely… cheers!

Incredibly interesting, beautifully filmed, eloquently narrated. Every mountain adventurer should watch this film as an paradigm for great decision making. I'm sure Elyse and Indie are proud of you Cody, as they should be.

Yeah I normally do that also, most times....

[@yuchuuba-naritai3466]

Amazing. As a climber I think "well a rappel can't be that bad right?" but seeing the terrain even in the best conditions on the third attempt made me realize it was the right call all along. Well done, that's how you get to FIFTY lines!

[@fabiosergio3389]

Incredible accomplishment, awesome video, inspiring storytelling. An ode to courage and patience. When Bonatti was asked why he survived in situations where others had not he said “I had someone to come back to.” Thanks for sharing your inner dialogue, it brought humanity into superhuman feats.

[@svsleipnir]

What I saw here was a very mature adventurer making good decisions in dangerous places. Too many extraordinary names in my contact list that can never call again. Well played.

[@ast453000]

Epic decision making. I always remember Cody on Pontoon saying "If Bjarne says that, we're done." So when Bjarne said "listen to your gut," I was so glad Cody called it. Mad respect to you all, and for Nick for not trying to convince you otherwise, despite having a huge climb out. These are the friends you want to have in the mountains.

Absolutely fantastic! Not just the adventure, but the filming, the soundtrack.... everything. Oh, and THANK YOU for the wood jokes. Much appreciated.

[@peterbonnie5199]

Dude! I love that you included your bit about what you consider good style. Its all about skiing the lines you want, while having fun AND coming home at the end of the day. And if you think you can't clearly make those things happen, then you are better off finding a different method or coming back another time. That's the kind of style I will emulate my whole life. A lot of people say it (and a lot don't), but not on the same stage as you, while skiing such epic lines. Can't wait for more videos.

[@Toniezzz]

Looking good, awesome continuation of the Fifty Project!

[@dougmarder]

The best episode of this entire series (so far). Thank you for bringing us along and inside! Can't wait to see the next adventure.

[@bogwin9621]

Walking off is the opportunity to live and learn. By the way that line is everything wrong. Cliffed out, and it is zero exit. I love the fact that you are following safe guidelines despite the lack of exit. You probably had the best conditions ever! Nice piece of work guys.

It's autumn here in Switzerland and whenever I watch your videos I immediately want to pack my skis and go. You really are role models, keep it up! If everyone had this attitude there would be a lot fewer accidents❤

[@gregparrott]

I've seen 'Split' many times but never even thought of the couloir as being skiable. The combination of a steep slope that is so narrow seemed too restrictive. Add blue ice and rappels, and I STILL think it's not skiable. But, you proved me wrong :) Thanks for the effort to ski 'The Fifty', for creating great videos of them, and for showing how crucial judgement is in staying safe.

[@Mila_Brearey]

I loved that you listened to your gut! You guys knew when the time was right! Very enjoyable!❤

[@nickv3085]

I love this series. As someone who aspires to one day get into ski mountaineering, it’s so cool to see raw footage of how it all goes down and the decision making processes. The hardest part is separating nerves from judgement. Seeing you all struggle with that puts things into perspective. Experience and other people you trust around you are the only ways to navigate this shit. Thanks Cody! I am and everyone else loves you and the team bro.
