[@kunzi1]

[@3vimages471]

Great video ... beautiful mountains! Thank you!

[@kunzi1]

Thanks a lot !!!

[@highonaltitude8622]

Absolutely class. Need a few more years of experience for this one.

[@julianbrockt4105]

your vids are extremely super... THANKS!!

[@kunzi1]

Thanks as well, the upcoming ones will be even better (hopefully)

[@alexanderl.9061]

Sehr Vorbildlich abseilen mit Prusnik für die Absturzsicherung!!!!!! Du hast da Heuer super Touren gemacht und das Wetter perfekt erwischt !

[@kunzi1]

ja man lernt aus seinen Fehlern (kein Prusik, kein Knoten am Ende der Zwillingsseile), das vergesse ich nicht mehr... Und ja Wetter hat ganz gut gepasst, aber wir waren auch schon 2 Tage zuvor im Schneetreiben unterwegs. Die anderen Touren waren wirklich super.

[@alexanderl.9061]

kunzi1 Ich habe mir deine anderen Videos auch angeschaut, fein sind die, freue mich schon auf neues von dir!!! Ich hoffe das Wetter wird für September besser da hätte ich auch noch einiges vor!

[@kunzi1]

Ich denke dass diesen Sommer/Herbst nichts mehr bei mir dazu kommen wird. Aber wünsch dir einen schönen Herbst.

[@user-nl3je4uu4y]

Quel cinéma 😅😅😅 Tu prends le téléphérique le matin tôt... Tu y vas jusqu'au pied ... Et tu grimpes... Idem pour l'arête de Rochefort 🙏

[@fdfloriandupuy]

Dan Crompton one of our best climbings ever!!!

[@andreaberto1477]

Maybe one day !!!...super video !!...thanks for sharing us

[@kunzi1]

Ciao Andrea,... forse una Volt in vita, lo stesso abbiamo pensato noi, e si vede, ... grazie per il tuo comment, ciao

[@andreaberto1477]

kunzi1 speriamo ! ciao !!!

[@jeanpainpowder6033]

great video. might be very helpful to someone who is tending to climb that peak.

[@kunzi1]

+Jean Pain Powder--> Hi Jean, I hope we could give some good impressions how it is up there, although we don´t want to harm this mountain. For us it was do-able but hard. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day!

[@robertreinisch1060]

stoak! generell sehr spitze deine youtube videos! mach weiter so!

[@kunzi1]

Danke werden wir !!!

[@warcvlt]

Wow! Beeindruckend

[@kunzi1]

warcvlt Danke

[@metalex11]

Video: hammergeil! Musik: stresst voll! Da wird einem erst mal bewusst, was am Dent du Geant abgeht. Hatten die Tour letztes Jahr auch vor, haben es aber leider nur auf den Gipfel des Mont blanc geschafft. Wie habt Ihr Euch vorbereitet?

[@kunzi1]

metalex11 vorbereitet speziell eigentlich null. der Kollege hat davor in dem Jahr eigentlich gar keinen Gipfel gemacht. Ich war stüdlgrat und hintergrat. A Bissel eingelesen haben wir uns. Sonst weniger. Und ja er ist gschmackig. Bei uns v.a. Windig. Und Seile sind anstrengend...

[@kennstedas]

the music :(

[@deanluminoid8717]

Terrible. Produced by someone who is not really 'feeling it' :(

[@andreaboria5087]

Greeeeat! I've sent u a message! I'm one of the italian guys that were on the route!

[@kunzi1]

ciao andrea, quindi ti sei ricordato di cercare il video. salutami gli altri, forse ci vediamo prossimo anno a un altra cima. Saluti ragazzi!!!

[@kunzi1]

ma per sicuro rimaniamo in contatto

[@ventonero86]

kunzi1 I'm another italian of the group on the dent du gèant, ......you are great!

[@kunzi1]

ventonero86, Ciao, mi ricordo manca solo quello che ci auiutava durante la discesa,... Come ho gia´detto a Andrea, forse troviamo un altra volta di mettersi inseme per fare un altra cima. Ho giá guardato alle vostre pagine di FB, e mi sono reso conto, che avete fatto un altra reteo cima prima il Dent. Dove siete stati e come era.... a presto

[@forzaev6733]

Hammer aber der geile ösi Dialekt fehlt 👍

[@kunzi1]

Forza ev ja da war ich noch Ton-scheu. Lg 😂😂😂

[@arsonwars]

what was that sick commercial at the end with the 3 rappers cello violin soprano soloist... ? greattt video also "traffic jam with great people" love it

[@kunzi1]

THx arsonwars,I´ve no Influence on the commercial played in my videos, but sounds funny, although I´ve not watched it. Thanks once more

[@theclassicgamer132]

Geil!! Super schön! War die tour sehr schwierig? Ich habe diese tour auch geplant in sommer dieses jahr. Hast du noch ein paar tips für mich @Kunzi1?

[@carioca56]

Incroyable

[@kunzi1]

Rick Ruffin merci beacupe

las gemelas del rapel eran vuestras o estaban instaladas?

[@q8moi]

You make it seem so easy ? How difficult was it ? i recently got into mountaineering, looks interesting but challenging too

[@kunzi1]

Faris Al-Obaid it s really challenging !!! Try before some easier I recommend!!!

[@gonamok]

The terrain is stunning! what's with the big white rope that's fixed? do you lead it or use fixed lines? no matter what, it's a wild summit that's no piece of cake. good job

[@AlbertMXG]

It's been 3 years since your comment and you might already know it but.. just in case.. in many popular mountains in the Alps (and other areas but especially there) they set up this big fixed ropes (for example in Matterhorn too) to facilitate the ascend (ppl would go anyway so at least they minimize accidents) This could be climbed 100% without fixed ropes but would create huge traffic jams (as you can see there is traffic jam anyway so imagine if there were not fixed lines) Pro athletes go solo and use only those fixed ropes to speed climb (check Kilian Jornet doing his record in Matterhorn). But the rest of the mortals use both fixed and own ropes with gear for more security (fixed rope doesn't stop a fall) hope (although late) it helped :)

[@gonamok]

@@AlbertMXG i understand the mentality is different in the alps, but in time those fixed lines become trash. Its especially ugly when there are 4 or 5 fixed lines of different ages. How do you know if the lines are good, and when do you chop them? Jugging a route cant be considered climbing it, however, you are climbing a rope and not the rock, and if you want to actually climb the line then the fixed lines are in the way of your placements. It still doesnt seem right that if you cant make a move you just grab the rope.

[@AlbertMXG]

@@gonamok Moutains are a great business in the Alps and they replace this every now and then. I see your point but there are several routes to summit almost every mountain. Fixed ropes are on the mainstream route so amateur climbers dont complain hehe For instance Dent du Geant has other routes on different sides that are serious climb... not for everyone and with no fixed ropes at all

[@gonamok]

@@AlbertMXG thanks for your replys, Im a california climber and mountaineer and dont know much about the alps, so your comments are educating me. Do you mean that guides take clients up fixed ropes and call it an ascent? Do they (the clients) even carry tools, or just jumars and slings? I guess if you dont climb that would seem like scary technical climbing. lol

[@AlbertMXG]

@@gonamok well, as you can see in the video, those fixed ropes are on certain parts and they are thick, meant to be grabbed with your hands.. not to put any jumar on it (not possible) they work as handholds basically to facilitate the ascend/descend. It makes both ascend and descend faster but you still need alpine practice, strength and endurance. Parties can go a bit faster so they reduce the number of forced bivouacs that ended up really bad. There are no camps here, all ascends are planned from refugee to summit and this usually takes from 10 to 15 hours, or even 20. Mountains are so step that camps are not possible and many people die lost in the night or they just fall... underestimating 4000m peaks So definitely those fixed ropes help the process and commercial expeditions. But again, they represent a small % of the routes and only on famous peaks. Alps still have some of the wildest faces on earth (check North of the Grandes Jorasses, just to mention one) cheers!

[@ursid]

What gear did you have to protect the route?

[@kunzi1]

Olli-Pekka Rauhala some bigger friends and some „Klemmkeile“

[@feiter]

Great video's mate, what camera did you use on this trip?

[@kunzi1]

Hi Adrian, I always use my action pro, the old modell, www.amazon.de/Actionpro-SD21PRO-SD21-PRO-Actioncam/dp/B00872HO6Q , but I will change if when the Updated Modell comes out. Happy New Year!!!

Ragazzi, ma come fate?? E non avete paura? Mamma mia, Mi piacerebbe ma l'idea che qualcosa possa andare storto, mi scoraggia.

[@kunzi1]

come facciamo, ci cagiamo adosso durante arampicare, e alla fine siamo molto molto orgogliosi ;-)

Si ha 😱 un pò. Bravi e complimenti.
