Learning The Hard Way: Old School Mountaineering | Climbing Daily Ep.1338

[@ArthurFellig]

Great interview. Thanks for posting this. I especially liked the old school rescue approach. I.E "We would borrow as much gear, from as many people, as we could. Then if we weren't back in 4 days, they'd coming looking to get it back." Genius!!

[@mathias5618]

The story about brewing beer at base camp made my day

[@YL_AmericadoSul]

Dude, this was one of the best episodes, EVER!

[@tarponmonkey39]

agreed

[@howler6490]

100% in agreement...truly beautiful... Old school, bit of everything. Well done lads.

[@codykyle7563]

i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?

[@brookssalvador7888]

@Cody Kyle flixportal :P

[@codykyle7563]

@Brooks Salvador Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !!

[@derekhubbard52]

It is so refreshing to see hardcore, amazing mountaineering legends say that it's okay to not dedicate your whole life to climbing. So many people gatekeep what it means to be a "real climber" these days that it can be discouraging to people who are perfectly happy sport climbing. Great video and awesome interview!

[@cajjz109]

Awesome to see Aid and Al again. I was fortunate to share their company and a mountain with them in 92'

[@andrewmorris2219]

Was at base camp and Khumbu region for 3 months in winter 1980/81 climbing various peaks when the two were on the winter Everest expedition. I spent time with their cook Wan Chop to and from Namche a couple of times and met others including Japanese but didn’t meet the twins unfortunately. Great video.

[@sharingan_kakas]

My father was a mountaineer in the 1980s(India) but never got too far because of family responsibilities and financial conditions although he had his official basic and advanced training. I have just started going on treks and basic bouldering. Stories like these and the ones I hear from him feels me up with such happiness. Wish me luck guys😂.

[@Andy-lq6zw]

Two brothers climbing together all their life's is amazing!.......twins make it more rare. Imagine the complexity of a route being simplified by having the twin connection. The flow of their route would be amazing to witness.

[@snakedike]

These guys are legends in the climbing community and yet so approachable.

[@BoulderingBobat]

This was a great watch. Really interesting life these guys lived.

[@glynjones4808]

Had these two guys as relief teachers in Grange school, Ellesmere Port late 70's. Showed us stills of their climbs to a Pink Floyd soundtrack. One of them used to hang from door architrave for what seemed a lifetime. Good guys

[@johnnysingleton1672]

absoltuley fantastic video. one of the best

[@keff_cb]

Agree, it's really beautiful video, great insights and stories. I dind't know them, cool dudes :)

[@dk2428]

Absolutely inspirational! Legends The story about "rescue insurance" cracked me up

[@deannilvalli6579]

Great story, and nicely done. It shows what you can do with just a narrative/interview and still photos. Great stuff.

[@rickkitywrecked7468]

Alan and ade's dad happened to also be my step grandad geoff, and i remember seeing them in my nans house as a kid in huddersfield, my girlfriend recently found their book signed to their dad (my grandad) and started reading it which made me remember them, and then oddly enough this video comes out literally a week later, small world.

[@nanadolphin]

This is fantastic! I would love to see more mini documentaries like this. Thank you so much!

[@joepalooka2145]

I met the twins many years ago in Canada. They're really great guys, legendary mountaineers, and it's great to see them still alive and healthy all these years later. They have endless stories of all the climbs they've done around the world.

[@johns3106]

Couple of legends there! Nice to see they made it to "old age".

[@bentnosewp]

Beautiful video. It's great to see some historical perspective on things, especially as someone who's new to things.

[@rocnoir4233]

I could listen to their tales for hours. Fantastic piece!

[@JBclimbs]

What an inspirational pair of blokes

[@Gigachad2a]

The sad part was when they said the ice is melting out. It hurt my heart. Great video.

[@sharingsherpa1440]

Best wishes from the Himalayas.

[@ivanbelyaev425]

This is absolutely amazing. Thanks

[@andrewOsoto]

This is just incredible. My dad used to climb like this. Different times!

[@Huyberechts]

Great interview ..Climbed with them on Everest. Fantastic guys.. But they forgot to say that they slept with all the beautiful woman in BC. Keep well Adrian and Alan..

[@speedgandalf]

Haha legends

[@michaeloldroyd4674]

This might be my favourite video ever.

[@alpinejonny]

You guys are putting out some incredible stuff these days... what a great video.

[@dannygrout92]

Probably my favourite ever climbing daily!!! Great story, great guys, really nicely put together.

[@danielr.7137]

What an absolutely great interview. Best thanks for that. I love our community for such amazing and inspiring stories. Incredible and just beautiful. - And the beer. man, that´s so nice.

[@The29ersailer]

What a pair of legends!!

[@vashusan1984]

This was excellent, I could watch this type of stuff all day. It is fascinating hearing the stories of these pioneers of the sport. Sometimes I long for those days, I never got to experience. But I am grateful for where technology has taken safety gear as well. Thanks for a great production.

[@gordonwalford2983]

Highly recommend reading "One Day As A Tiger" by John Porter for more stories around that time period.

[@xpadseyx]

Great episode and a great film! That's what adventure is all about!

[@jred1234]

I wish it would be longer ! Great work

[@sdoowramaj]

This was really great to watch!

[@JohnGM96]

This is just phenomenal!

[@raphael_aremusica]

Great video and interview! Cheers!

[@theodizeeproblem]

Wow, so incredibly impressive which shoulders present climbing is standing on.

[@timothywestern7282]

Up there with the best videos and interviews on the channel!

[@alexdevalera4550]

Climbing used to be different of course. There was a huge sense of commitment. Routes were unprotected except for a few rusty pitons that would or would not hold. Equipment was as streamlined as today. The tools that were used by Doug Scott, Dougal Haston or Alex MacIntyre specially for ice climbing would only by used for scrambling or hiking in the mountains nowadays.

[@paulj6637]

Just a beautiful bit of film. Well done guys, thanks for sharing. I know its not the core of your channel, but on occasion, some more like this please.

[@manadaalpina]

One of the best of Climbing Daily!!

[@jorgealbertorodriguezvilla8773]

Eso es el espíritu de la escalada solo tus brazos tus piernas tu coraje para seguir adelante aun en las condiciones mas difíciles ya son pocas personas que lo practican así sin comodidades solo convivir con la naturaleza sin comodidades un saludo desde México CD para todos los aventureros de corazon

[@tonycurtis4088]

These guys are the real deal. Amazing guys made of steel.

[@harveyts3]

Such a lovely interview by seemingly lovely brothers.

[@dancarter6697]

That was Epic climbing history. Nicely put together.

[@Yaimdan]

This is so raw!!!!!

[@nicolausmarshall9863]

These guys are brilliant!

[@patrickgardner396]

What a beautiful film!

[@brianlewis4415]

I met Al by chance in a pub in Dent a couple of years back. Took me a while to realise who he was. Had a great evening talking over a beer. Ha ha.

[@rodbelding9478]

Am reading “Burgess Book of Lies” now. Very entertaining duo. Learned of them from Krakauer’s “Eiger Dreams” which is a great book.

[@occuz24]

I would say your best video that I watched so far

[@eurobandit6167]

Awesome! More stories like this!!!

[@spencershields9186]

My favourite climbing daily

[@takezo1248]

Loving it !

[@thomasr1051]

I love how simple and obvious everything was to them

[@BuddhaBlurbs]

What delightful fellows...

[@jawoable]

Beautiful Video. Thanks.

[@channel1reno]

Guys this is the best episode loved that!

[@jonmulrine4310]

Most interesting thing I’ve watched in a while!

[@jamiefrost8476]

More of this!

[@wayoutwest7]

This is really great. nice work!

[@MrSamLittle]

Please more content like this! 👍

[@michaelblowers6823]

i could listen to those two tell stories for hours

[@SandBorn789]

loved it ! anyone knows what that piano song at the beginning was ?

[@margr355]

Amazing, thanks!

[@bone_zee]

True legends these guys

[@souravbanik1961]

Love this episode...❤

[@brunospasta]

Climbing in Alps mainly changed to more downhill focused. Basically the climbing is just a mean to get to the really good faces to ski or board down.

[@firstplacelast2]

The one dislike chose tea over beer in basecamp.

[@themightyspoon9641]

Very interesting what an interesting and sketchy time they came up in

[@philwaters9751]

Living legends. Literally... xxx :-)

[@hartmehler6069]

best episode ever

[@maxbowen6482]

I feel nostalgic and I'm not even a mountaineer or that old😂

[@edytat.8532]

great story!

[@elliotd9571]

very interesting episode

[@Vincent-fv1ch]

6:52 what is that mountain? Everest and lhotse ?

[@mario7027]

The peak in the middle has the characteristic recognisable shape of Nuptse. Based on the ridge alignment, the photo seems to be taken just up or around the Khumbu Icefall; from that position, looking at a map, there is no major peak in front of Nuptse neither on the right nor on the left, so I guess those two are some minor peaks (which might be part of Nuptse itself). From that position, Lhotse might either be hidden behind Nuptse or out of field on the left, and Everest would be even further left.

[@IsaacSMILE]

Great stuff.

[@Penn001]

Anyone know the name of the piano music towards the end?

[@mattfoley6082]

I read Jon Krakauer's story about the twins. Real characters.

[@leewilliams6174]

Brill vid loved it!

[@MrEthan6000]
