Falling in the No-Fall Zone - Pic de Comapedrosa Andorra Ski Touring

[@paulblichmann2791]

"The snow was incredibly bad." The Snow: ❄️ "Ahhh, but I WAS incredible."

[@AJTno4]

That was scary! But good recovery. Great edit, the beginning sequence with fade to black is 🔥🔥🔥

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you! Really appreciate your kind words 🙏

[@ChaseMountains]

I felt every bit of that crust struggle man. Same deal in Ariege last week. So glad you caught yourself, and so happy that you sent it, alone no less! Sometimes I wish I snowboarded so I could go with an axe 🪓 😅 Anyway congrats man, you must be stoked but also relieved!!

[@PhilippKlein]

Yeah it seems like a widespread problem in the Pyrenees, we either have bad snow or no snow at all! Thanks Chase, we have to do something together!

[@g3co875]

Nice one mate, such an adventure!

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you so much! definitely an adventure :)

[@willstats]

Like nothing happened! Great recovery and amazing composure mate 🤙🏻

[@PhilippKlein]

Thank you Will! I knew I couldn’t break down mentally because I still had a ton to ski down left, it was necessary I guess! 😂

[@joancirera3374]

Nice video!!

[@PhilippKlein]

Gracias Joan!

[@nadiedijoqfuerafacil]

Scary fall😱

[@PhilippKlein]

Definitely!

[@RaulTT1812]

That looked horrible, such bad snow. You could have seriously injured yourself, bindings locked just before the fall.😮

[@PhilippKlein]

True, by the time I reached the middle part it was too dangerous, not something I’d recommend. I locked because losing a ski would also have been fatal, that made my fall even scarier. I was really lucky :)

How I feel going down the children's alpine hill of 50m vertical on long-ass xc skis. Basically the same (not).

[@user-qk1dl3du1s]

So, how do you like the Scarpa Quattro xt? and what bindings you use with it?

[@PhilippKlein]

Really loving it!!! Super stiff, super light and really not touring worse than my Maestrale XT. For touring I use the Marker Alpinist 12, super reliable binding

[@hugocrs]

el video es brutal como el resto que he visto en tu canal que lo acabo de descubrir, lo que me falla es como usas la camara 360. Esos planos casi zenitales que haces me dan muchísimo vertigo y he estado a punto de quitar el video varias veces, no es donde estás sino como se ve por la distorsión de la lente. Igual usarlos como recurso para hacer un momento del video más drámaico le da un punto extra, pero usarlos como b-roll o como cámara 2 lo veo un poco un error, al menos a mi me han dejado mal cuerpo porque en la secuencia en la que bajas parece que te vas de cabeza contra la pendiente y me he puesto malo al verlo jajajaja.

[@PhilippKlein]

Gracias! Lo tendré en cuenta sí! También es la única perspectiva que realmente transmite la verticalidad de la actividad

[@hugocrs]

totalmente de acuerdo pero en mi opinión abusar de esa perspectiva puede causar mareos a los que lo ven, usala para planos dramáticos como cuando estás a punto de caerte o cuando empieza la verticalidad a lo bestia, pero para el resto te recomiendo que la uses como una camara normal que puedes reencuadrar donde quieras @@PhilippKlein

[@paulblichmann2791]

I would bring a potato sack. And if i got into that deep of trouble, i would sit on it and skid down on my butt.

[@markthomasson5077]

Oh man…you seem to be missing of the basics. ..never ski with your hands in the wrist loops (better leave them at home). …practice a pole self arrest every time you go out….I do! …get a Whippet Pole attachement. That slide could have been serious.

[@markthomasson5077]

…but nice run, even if the snow crap. I bet your friends had a lovely run down the adjacent face…in the sun
