I started learning about Everest 5 years ago, and I became deeply fascinated ever since, learning about all the deaths up there, the lengths people push to, but something about it just calls to me, something about the extreme conditions, the danger and all the deaths makes me wanna tackle the fear and face the challenge, I wanna have a chance to stand up there one day. I’m 18 now, and I really hope to start off with something small and work my way up over the course of around 10 years or so and really get some experience before attempting such an adventure. It’s become a dream of mine to accomplish. Your video was very inspiring and informative.

[@ALinsdau]

Incredible aspiration. I hope you're successful. Be safe out there and work your way up so you can be confident.

[@THE_Secular_Conservative]

Make your career come 1st. If not, u won't have enough money to climb.

[@danielzwarren]

I'm 22 and live in NH. Have been hiking for over a decade because of boy socuts. I have hiked all 48 4000 footers in the White Mountains during the spring/summer/fall and a couple during winter but no real mountaineering experience. I have always been fascinated with Everest and interested in climbing it since I was about 11. I hope one day to make it a reality. Next Winter I am going to take a beginner mountaineering course through Synott guides to get started. They also offer guided expeditions up Mt. Washington.

[@ALinsdau]

Going guided is a great choice. Stay safe out there.

[@LinearSilence]

I live in NH too. I’m gonna take a mountaineering course in Conway next winter. Gonna prep myself with lots of treks and hikes this summer.

[@gustavsamuelsson7983]

This is such an under appreciated channel! Keep up the good work!

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks!

[@not_a_spy4440]

I just read touching the void and for some reason this book about a nightmare scenario has kind of Inspired me to get into mountaineering

[@ALinsdau]

Stay safe out there.

[@ezweber_the_great]

I love the internet, I can sit on my coach and learn how to mountaineer from the Kermit the Frog voice actor.

[@cistakuhinja4776]

I really appreciate your tips and videos, they are very informational, useful and funny! Thank ou Aaron, keep up the good work! 😃

[@ALinsdau]

Thank you. Stay safe.

[@cnaisbitt5013]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you answering the viewers questions. I live in Alaska so I have alot of options here to get started.

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks. Stay safe out there.

[@wagzzzz]

I think it’s important to understand that you don’t need to travel to the corners of the globe to find adventure. I’ve had amazing experiences hiking and climbing in the white mtns of New Hampshire. 3 hours from my house.

[@ALinsdau]

Very true!

[@AlyKatAlice]

This video was perfect for showing the basic approach to starting mountaineering. I just moved to Colorado and have become enamored with the idea of summiting many 14'ers, but as someone who has never been on top of a mountain peak it's been a bit intimidating to get started at all. I'm hoping to find a local club to learn the basics with, but i think ill be waiting until summer is truly underway to nab my first summit. These winter/spring storms can be so harsh. Thankfully with the wealth of knowledge from accomplished adventurers like yourself this all seems so much more realistic and doable. Plus being able to see where others went wrong or made mistakes teaches us how to be safer while pursuing these sort of things. I very much appreciate the video!

[@ALinsdau]

Sure thing. Be safe out there.

[@LinearSilence]

Gonna start my journey in by hiking in the white mountains this summer. Then take a mountaineering course in the winter. I’m super excited I’ve been extremely fascinated with mountaineering lately. Thanks for the info!

[@ALinsdau]

Have fun!

[@tinmanandoliveoylsadventur7129]

I am so glad that you have this channel. The info that you offer. I live in SoCal and am a hiker, not a mountaineerer (if that's a term) I've gone up to Mt San Jacinto, Big bear, Baden Powell, the list goes on. This past year I hiked from Mexico to the Sierra. I went down close to a snow bridge in the sludge in 2/19 self arresting, barely. I've found myself with microspikes on ice and they slid like they were ice skates. A couple of days ago a hiker died in Taquits peak area of San Jacinto, 2 years ago someone else did. I think I have learned to keep my ego at bay and know when to turn around. 2019 a couple of hikers made national news because they were lost going up to Cucamonga peak in the San Gabriels we were there a week prior and turned around. This stuff is no joke. You are talking about Denali and Everest. OMG, this message needs to go out to the thru hikers and weekend warriors so to speak. Not to think that it's a walk in park.

[@ALinsdau]

Microspikes are very handy but they do have their limits for sure. They're more like a controlled glide on hard ice. Be safe!

[@kylecarscaden3953]

You have a great channel, just subscribed its nice see people on youtube making videos because they love what they do and not to make money or make videos longer than they need to be

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Stay safe out there.

[@CarbonSuit]

Great video! A little hike up Kili has me pumped for more high altitude adventures.

[@ALinsdau]

Be safe out there.

[@Foundprodigal]

Super helpful. Mountaineering is something that looks awesome and fun, but I have no idea how to get into it.

[@simonvance8054]

I’ve always liked the thought of it but never done it so far. Hiked low mountains (2000 or so ft) on steep trails but that’s about it. Even that though it felt like a challenging achievement compared to anything else I do and it made me want to do more of the same but bigger. Watched 14 Peaks which I absolutely loved and I’m not likely to ever do an 8000m or anything, but just more things that are the biggest challenge to ME, whatever they are… would be awesome to be in the snowline though as I’m moving back to New Zealand. Thanks, great video!…

[@ALinsdau]

Excellent - stay safe out there!

[@ryanholtman8212]

Just getting into mountaineering. Going to climb Mt. Hood this year and then Rainer next. Hope to eventually work my way up to Denali.

[@ALinsdau]

Be safe out there!

[@your72ndvirgin91]

Doing hood this year!

[@kinternet218]

Very useful and entertaining video!

[@ALinsdau]

Many thanks!

[@guruthumb]

I really appreciate your expertise and willingness to share things nobody else does. A video on route finding would be interesting. I frequently find myself staring up at Ben Lomond (Utah version) trying to determine the best way up the west face

[@arcticfoxvikingseaking2206]

The White Spider is also a great classic mountaineering book.

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@kurtbaldwinwildlife]

Great video!

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks!

[@TennesseeSlim]

I've appreciate your polar explorer knowledge over the years even if I disagree with your taught line hitch. Thanks again

[@ALinsdau]

I appreciate that!

[@TennesseeSlim]

You deserve more recognition for your efforts.

[@kellyfarrar6639]

Subscribing because I just decided to climb a mountain before my 41st birthday (Ill be 40 next week)

[@joshmaril1136]

Huh that’s a good idea. I’ve only ever climbed like 3 mountains during the winter and they were about 3,000ft. I should go try something more intense to see if I truly love it. Although I’m pretty sure I will

[@ALinsdau]

Be safe out there!

[@gbeagle417]

Hey that's the q? I came here for!

[@loftriot7075]

“The mountain will be there next year” Mt. St. Helen’s: 👋🏼

[@ALinsdau]

Too true

[@sanmarcoexplorer2726]

👍

[@TheBrettarcher]

can i visit base camb area to look for fossil minerals rather than climd the mountains ??

[@ALinsdau]

I'd check with the local authories first.

[@commanderphilbo1471]

I started watching videos about horror stories of moutain climbing...then documentarys about climbers ..and the whole time alls I could think was what makes a person decide that they want to climb these dangerous mountains and what's the point ...now I feel like I have to climb one to find out ...and now I'm here .

[@ALinsdau]

Enjoy and be safe!

[@LaserFliping]

“Because they are there” a sense of exploration is apart of the human spirit. Some peoples more than others.

[@rajibjoshi9647]

my question is simple one day out of quirosity I tried to climb side of a ridge but had no climbing equipment so just using my hands and legs and laying low ( with my small dog ( 8 lb ) in one hand ) I did it but coming down is harder I held on to small plants and small trees to help my self or get foothold now how could I use just 16 ft. rope I have to help me ( like wrap the rope around tree trunk and use the both sides and ease myself holding rope in both hands to ease down to leadge 10 ft. down then pull on one side of rope to bring rope down but going up how can I use just simple 16 ft. rope to go up?

[@ALinsdau]

Be careful sliding with your hands on a rope. It's easy to get out of control. Usually you just climb when going up unless you need an ascender.

[@rajibjoshi9647]

@@ALinsdau ok thanks for the warning I am more scared of animals and bigfoot but that is all part of life...I think they are as wary of us just the same and are struggling with survival just the same look big and fight back my plan

[@craigapelbaum1629]

Very good sir. I`m a camper, hiker and snowshoer. Can I call that mountaineering too or not ?

[@ALinsdau]

Traditionally mountaineering involves mountain climbing, YMMV.

[@craigapelbaum1629]

@@ALinsdau . Thank you sir. I appreciate it. You have a blessed weekend.

[@lamesamebame8476]

Ive been hiking and trekking for a long time, I can hike up almost everything in my country and i scramble a lot, i always go off paths on steep rocky terrain to climb. I dont have anyone to go rock climbing or winter mountaineering with, because im 14 yo i dont personally know anyone who would like to take me (even if i paid) out to climb. I dont have anyone to introduce me to winter mountaineering, i cant go on a course either because of my age and dont know any climbers, except the mother of a friend, but i doubt she would take me with her, because of course i am too fucking young.

[@ALinsdau]

Young age can be tough. Be safe out there. Sounds like you've got a long career ahead of you. Wish I'd started that young!

[@weho_brian]

i am 38 fat lazy and want to try something new, I need the least challenging mountain possible LOL

[@ALinsdau]

Definitely start local and be safe.
