I always say this but scrambling downhill is much harder then uphill. I’ve gotten stuck in dangerous places on mountains and cliffs because the way up is doable and the way down is a different beast. Great video by the way. It gives me confidence in my future journeys.

My biggest fear point of no return

[@keith13fox]

For a 61 year old who is relatively new to this sort of hill walking those tips were very helpful.. Been hill walking since I was a teenager but never attempted anything like scrambling before, I had a blood clot last year and it was a wake up call to do things while I can 😁

[@neerajkulkarni6506]

Good luck! And stay safe!

[@catchingfeels3891]

More than helpful... all help is appreciated! I'm attempting a 14er soon!

[@omarmirza9957]

These were excellent tips. Everything the instructor said made sense in light of my experience.

[@cindyklonowski1421]

This was sooooo helpful by explaining in not only a demonstrative way but also in simple basic instructions.

[@ajarnangus8837]

Nicely explained. A good start. Thanks.

[@monicabuterbaugh6416]

Very well done! Fantastically helpful!! Thank you

[@lyndak.5152]

Great video! I like that I can refer back to it! thank you!

[@BS2Dos]

Very helpful. Any pointers on downclimbing esp. whether back to rock or facing rock?

[@johnfetzer9637]

thanks mate

[@calumbmx1]

The person below you when you did your test "below" frantically looking around like 😵😲. 😂😂

[@the_chillifingers43]

what kind of boots do you have?

[@chris15325]

Nice rucksack

[@pjr259]

I'm also curious to know what boots you're wearing! They look like mountaineering boots - La Sportiva Trango? I just recently purchased the women's Trango for both hiking and mountaineering, wanted to know your feelings on their hiking ability (are they good for trekking long distances? how do they perform on the ice?).

[@matteodefrancesco1213]

trango evo s gtx. perfect for scrambling, via ferrata, low grade rock climbing and classic summer mountaineering and glacier travel..and even for heavy load trekking. i own a pair since 2008. apart from the sole that is obviously burn out, they are rock solid, no signs of tear in years. now discontinued, the new model is the trango tower, that is quite the same.

[@Mikecorsale]

I scramble in vibram 5 fingers, so can’t edge or wedge really, but what incredible fun they are! Would love to know your thoughts if you’ve had a go?

[@catchingfeels3891]

Hey but if I'm backpacking, how do we do this with a big back pack? Or do we leave our packs at camp or what?

[@justinmeighan9683]

Tryfan?

[@k311ydcart3r]

Why not recommend or require climbing helmets to protect against falling rock???

[@gamma_dablam]

Kelly Carter sometimes rockfall isn’t expected except in exceptionally rare circumstances.

[@KevAlberta]

Aayush Ganesh um no. In banff Alberta, you can expect falling rock on a lot of higher altitude scrambles. Your statement of “exceptionally rare”, is “exceptionally” overstated.

[@MrRorySteel]

@@KevAlberta We arn't referring to some niche Alberta scrambles you are overstatedly obnoxious.

[@KevAlberta]

Rory J Steel ohhh I see. I guess the climbing here is just more dangerous and skillful than other parts of the world considering we’re the only ones dealing with falling rock. Next time I’m out on the trail I’ll remember to let everyone know they’re climbing at the only place on earth with falling rock potential!!!(not). You dense fuck. Obviously you know nothing at all. Probably never stepped foot on a mountain... fuck outta here

[@murdo182]

Well that escalated quickly..

[@ziko317]

If you need a guide to tell you how to move on a mountain, you shouldn't be on that mountain.

[@MickeyMichaels348]

Utter bollocks.
