that was bold dude hoooooly shit 👏👏

[@jacklyons6502]

These kind of things should get more views than mainstream sports. Absolutely unbelievable. Would love to have seen the descent

[@lukasfournier]

Thank you! And I know about the descent, GoPro batteries need to last longer..

[@headdown1]

Fuck! That stretch starting around 7:30 with hard ice under a little snow looked terrifying. Well done. I have hiked to Snowbird Pass, and into Berg Lake myseof on snowshoes in March. We share the same last name.

[@lukasfournier]

That was definitely the most exposed part of the climb! Nice one, it’s such a beautiful area with so much potential. Really! That’s neat, it’s a good last name haha

[@mirkomehes]

Outstanding!! The helmet cam view on these climbs are perfect. I have a similar video on Mt Peveril in Jasper..loved it!! Stay safe !

[@lukasfournier]

Just checked out your video, very cool! And thank you!

[@user-tf6dj4xd6y]

Shows you can do this type of route with ‘regular’ modern axes. Good video 😊

[@lukasfournier]

Thank you, and yes the lightness of the tools means you swing faster which makes you go up quicker, but it’s also more difficult to get good sticks in pure ice.

[@randallgd]

Amazing route and skilled climber. Good work!

[@lukasfournier]

Thank you!

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

Spectacular!

[@user-nv5qq1ft5n]

Чувак, это прекрасно!

[@michaelboguski4743]

Great video, really eye-opening 😊

[@steventhaw3765]

Remarkable! I wanted to see the descent! The most important part of any climb!

[@lukasfournier]

Unfortunately GoPro batteries don’t last very long

[@maxmerifield3176]

Epic, I wish I had the resources to do this.

[@Aggressive_Splooge]

me too!

[@Ja50nkAt]

4:27 Potentially falling into a crevasse like that way up on a big mountain like that gives me the chills, I'll stick to mountains without glacier travel. I know a local climber that I met briefly in the mountains that later fell into a crevasse and died, he was also traveling unroped, they're just too spooky.

[@thomasgoossen]

So full on. Great video.

[@lukasfournier]

Thanks!

[@jackfischer7416]

Do you think downclimbing the whole way is fairly feasible without any rappelling?

[@lukasfournier]

I think it would be pretty scary but possible for sure, I wouldn’t recommend it though.

[@niftyfiftyphoto]

nice vid

[@lukasfournier]

Thanks!

[@broketraveller14]

Tnx for the video, this is awesome... how did you go down? Did you use ice screws? V thread? Rappell or downclimb? Tnx

[@lukasfournier]

Cheers thanks! Mostly rappels on V-threads and a bit of down climbing

[@yifeiyan7334]

Great video to show the ascent. How strong was the wind once above Kain face? And before you got to the col, how hard was the scramble?

[@lukasfournier]

Thanks! The wind was very strong above the Kain Face and the scramble was long but not particularly technical

[@darthmaulemann92]

Climbed this year?

[@lukasfournier]

Yes in September

[@TheSubieFan]

wait a minute your fucking legit good job! ever need climbing partners?

[@lukasfournier]

@@TheSubieFan Thanks ahah and yes sometimes! Where are you based out of?

[@TheSubieFan]

@@lukasfournier based out of Florida not many rocks around here. Just got back from the PNW with hood, smith rock, snow creek wall and Rainier. I have a van I Vegas where I either climb in red rocks j tree or bishop in the alpine. I'll be out there November then I'll be in Patagonia in January.

[@lukasfournier]

@@TheSubieFan Ah yeah fair enough haha! Do you have good climbing gyms in Florida? Sweet you did a lot on your trip! If you ever come to BC let me know! What are you climbing in Patagonia?

[@TheSubieFan]

@@lukasfournier good bouldering but our tallest lead wall is like 13m so not great. I think the plan for Patagonia is just to go and check it out. I have no concrete plans beyond that. Would love to climb in BC, tell me a season and I'll be there!
