Spectacular.. But Im glad to know I will never find myself in that position.. ;)

[@kaspareevald2264]

He-he. You never know till you try! If you're fit person, motivated, within few years of climbing you can go for it. Why not try something new? ;-)

@@kaspareevald2264 Hehe.. Thanks but I actually go grouse-hunting in the mountains of Norway. But never anywhere Im in any danger of falling. I get physically dizzy when even close to any ledge. Hell, just looking at the start of your clip made me grab my computer-desk :)

[@frisk151]

Isn't it nice that you / we don't have to??? I'm a legit explorer, but I know my personal limits... I actually (almost) flinched once or twice.. I'm sure the man wasn't bothered at all.. BUT, I was happy to be along for the video experience... I honestly wish there were interviews with some of these guys.. (There might be.. I am only just now sub'ing on this channel)... Been around for a very long time, but I've only recently started paying more attention to these channels... GLAD to have found them...

Oh hellll no! Ill just sit here and admire their skill and courage from wayyy down here!!

[@kaspareevald2264]

Let's admire together then through the screens. I'm happy I've done that. Maybe with a good climbing partner, I'd do it again.

[@bertjesklotepino]

well, then i have to let you down. I would have shaking knees and sweat all over my body and probably freeze not moving another inch after i have climbed 10 feet. Let alone 14.690 feet to walk on that small edge. Great respect for people to be able to do it. We were allowed to climb our Cathedral on the outside past year. It is a unique Cathedral and they had put scaffolding on the outside to restore it. And people were allowed to go up to parts of the Cathedral that you could otherwise never go to. See statues and decorations up close. I thought it was a great idea to do and so i went. But after 2 flights of stairs i almost wanted to go down again. Even though 100's of people had already gone up, i didn't trust the scaffolding. But, bit of encouragement from others made me go to the top like they did. With shaking knees, all the way to the top. Which is 55 meters. (the mid part, not the tower. )@@kaspareevald2264

Those snow caps look like they're ready to break any second. How do you judge the stability of them and the risk of each step? It comes with experience I guess, but is there any indicator that says - no, not today, do not walk here or there?

[@nunodfes2]

Good question, i wonder the same

[@sk-sm9sh]

Snow is very thin. It's mostly rocks. It's not gonna break and go down because it's settled attached between the rocks.

[@jessekelly8132]

If there’s rock under them, they’re stable. If not, best to avoid those spots or you’ll be going down the quick way.

[@kaspareevald2264]

Well, yes... the celebration was once we got back down! There's lots of work to be made and descenting is the part where most of the accidents happen, as climbers get tired and some even push themselves too far while ascenting.

[@wakingtheworld]

@@kaspareevald2264 Guess so. You're only half way! Speaking as a hiker, the up is definitely easier than the down and those times when legs have turned to jelly, is when you're more likely to stumble. You guys are too fit for that though! Enjoy your climbing... Be safe.
