Hahah...people have no idea. This is Barry muthafvcking Blanchard. Legend. One of the GOATs in mountaineering history. If I knew Barry was running the show at Yamnuska I would have made a much different decision on where to become a guide. Take this course...take every course offered by Yamnuska. To give you an idea of how much sickness this guy threw down look up the Rupal Face and Twight, Robinson and I believe Backes or Cheesmond??? Imagine 4 grown men with rucksacks hanging from 1 screw at 20k feet while a spindrift Avalanche destroys your world for a half an hour. Only then to drop your rope while half way down your retreat AND live to tell the tale. A monster.

[@andyarts8382]

Anthony you're spot on. He's a legend. Aside of his epic climbing routes, he's been called one of the worlds best guides of all times. The knowledge this man has about mountain climbing is so vast it blows your mind. Full disclosure he is a friend of mine.

[@wlcrutch]

Reading his book right now.... Hard to put down!!

[@discobiscuits2100]

This some of the whitest shit I’ve ever read

[@adaptivo3692]

I don’t even need to watch an intro level video but I lapped up every word. Such is the value of what this guy has to offer.

[@shaunmclorie5929]

Fantastic video, thank you Barry

[@zedaprime]

Stick around for the conclusion, good point.

[@YoutubeTravelerSoloVagabond]

[@adamgant8459]

Excellent video. Knowing what to bring on your trek can make a significant difference in your health and success.

[@drumcrazy72]

Is the pack "tight as a sausage" in order to avoid unpredictable weight transfer? Thank you :)

[@yorkshire.woodsman_outdoor5454]

What a "legend" ❤

[@patrickprice3230]

What about weed?

[@Foxyfreedom]

Good question. Vape cartridges don’t work in the Cold.

[@beefstuart8769]

You had me sold at a flask for a wee dram.

[@deancunanan3053]

[@agustincastro1179]

Excellent Vídeo thanks

[@safirijorgensen7842]

Ol Skool Reminds me of my Dad used to climb Adams on Acid in the 70s lmfao

[@trumanswartzfager6304]

Wow. Damn. Fucking awesome.

[@tenzingsherpa5279]

It was really helpful!!! Thanks

[@metalhead4903]

Where can I get that type of slippers? What its called specifically?

[@frankblangeard8865]

Umbrella is a great idea. And it is the only thing that is really waterproof and breathable. Gore-Tex is not.

[@trevorpeters4358]

I don’t feel as bad about my titanium flask now. Lol

[@ashutoshtambe8156]

Sir I also wanna do these course but there is 100% job placement or not

[@oneactionman]

Thx 4 this

[@mohammedalshehri6647]

You seem like you're a big fan of Patagonia :) Thanks for the tips

[@valreznic]

lol.. Patagonia is a fan of Blanchard - LEGEND!

[@DailyDoseOfWarpath]

Wow every gears are from premium stores , how can i buy good quality things with 320 usd salary per month ?))

[@ChickenKhorma]

@Keith Yes and no. Spend money and be picky on important things like rope and hardware, not on the latest Patagucci clothing. It's also mostly a big initial cost, your gear should last you a long time.

[@dustyball3885]

so, do you not have to bring a tent?

[@jasonpheh2587]

I think he said that the trip is going up to a hut, so no need. He did mention a tarp though for an emergency shelter.

[@Upcop_satyam]

What's the total cost all of this

[@Atropin1111]

i need a teacher like u

[@anthonysteen56]

See my above comment...go learn from this man

[@lathangravelle7693]

peel the stickers off your helmet :)

[@istolethisaccount]

0:15 "Howdy, im Period Black-Shart"

[@matthewdeepblue]

I fell bad saying this, but unless I'm out for over a week, I'm not brush my teeth on the trail...

[@chrisprysok7634]

You joke about war and peace. I worked at neels gap on the 30th mile of the Appalachian Trail. We did pack shakedowns. I actually removed a hard cover copy from a guys pack, among other oddities. His was by no means the worst id seen.

[@SaltyPirate71]

What the hell were you doing shaking down other people's packs?

[@col8179]

Great advertising. Guide with a flask of whisky.

[@frankbush8368]

square.

[@flyinglow]

Dealing with armatures all day, gotta have a little something :P

[@Jake-mj6mc]

Oh lord heaven forbid the man have a drink to help him sleep at the end of the day. Meanwhile everyone else are slamming ambien and Tylenol pm to get some sleep in the back country.

[@oneactionman]
