[@wulf67]

OK I'm going to climb Everest now. Should I take a Clif bar with me or something?

[@familiaubatuba1669]

Take some granola.

[@jonathaniwachiw-toothill29]

Kendal mint cake. That stuff is where it’s at

[@lukaroca2800]

You can go in simple shorts and tank top

[@donttouchyerbumnsniffit]

Vimto fizzy pencils are a must

[@dom4002]

Don't forget to wash it down with a redbull or monster

[@AlexAlex-kz8th]

This is all very technical, is there a more 'beginner' level tutorial?

[@ziko317]

Yeah there is. Walk around the snow.

[@realrocksrhyming8910]

dude thank, that is genuine sarcasm, i geeked so hard

[@pauledwards1157]

That made me laugh out loud.

[@mikefrancis4082]

I am now dumber than I was 3 minutes ago.

[@SteveIrwinDOA]

Thang you for a very information filled videotape I viewed it over a Hundred times before I am going to climb antarctica..I think I will also bring the outside magazine with me that is entittled "46 best places to die before you even got started climbing antarctica" . Your in my heart Rainbow...

[@seanbennett2166]

Wow. This contained no information.

[@peterparker3956]

I watched this video as my only prep before climbing K2.... And I died.

[@mmoore0325]

[@patrickmorvan6275]

Escalade auto assurance

[@scottmatheson3346]

You don't feel so good?

[@k311ydcart3r]

You are such an inspiration.

[@mikeyduke10]

did anyone else spot at 1:38 the guy in blue trying to show safe technique just ditched the technique and walked up before he had placed the ice axe

[@cwhitt26]

Imagine going to your first mountaineering class and your instructors name is Rainbow Weinstock.

[@hunterhalo2]

This is insulting to even the most inexperienced.

[@iCantPlayScales]

He didn't cover the most important aspect of the axe? Self arresting?

[@olympictreehugger]

"Technical Skills..."

[@k311ydcart3r]

Best part of this video was the St. Jude commercial at the beginning.

[@albert0jordanov237]

Move one foot in front of the other one.Then repeat.That was more helpful than the video

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

Feeling safe now.

[@TubaSolotheHiker]

Wow...May God have mercy on your souls Outside Television.

[@marneus]

Why are they holding it backwards?

[@conflectiz]

Well, off I go to practice some of these skills too. “Skills that kills”.

[@awcar]

is his name is rainbow

[@jimwitt21]

This would be such a cool vid if i wasn't already a mountaineer

[@riklee]

Regards on a mountain, They'll need more than ice axes and crampons to stay safe.

[@DomNaSekwanie]

Dose any one know what brand are Nick shades ?

[@MovieBuffReal]

I think this clip is meant for people like themselves who don't have common sense! There is nothing special about this video that normal people would not know!

[@rkstr9965]

*I guess they couldn't get John Cleese & Eric Idle to do their video !!!* 🤪🤪🤪

[@2326natemdl]

Is this video serious?

[@musicandmountains916]

dude (blue jacket), that ice axe is waayyy too short!

[@vasocreta]

Mr. Rogers would have presented this much better

[@ziko317]

Why don't they just walk around the snow? It's literally dry everywhere else.

[@JBecks111]

They're not wearing gloves

[@426superbee4]

he hee i wonder how they came up with the name of CRAMPONS? 🤣 Its sounds like having menstruation pains. I call them ice cleats

[@Weonlyknewoneway]

Rainbow 🌈 weinstock 😂🎉

[@1981stonemonkey]

Diving in your axe in the snow on a steeper slope ALONE will NOT hold you if you slip.

[@ShinyArjunSingh]

Nice one,subscribed.Please keep it up...

[@k311ydcart3r]

Not a whole lot of information here.

[@stayawayfrommeucancerouscr1224]

[@conor2439]

His forename is Rainbow

[@insanecrazyshockingbrucele6643]

Not a thing was learned
