​@@YesTheoryAmazing adventure! I'm curious what drone Etienne used for this though, to be able to balance having something lightweight to carry, but powerful enough to hold it's position with the mountain winds and keep itself airborne in the thinner air. I assume it was a DJI, but they have such a wide range of models.

Internet is a wonderful thing but then again it was given to us by reverse engineering alien technology 😀

[@cindygr8ce]

There are some beautiful places you can still go. If you're looking for something with altitude lol have you ever been to Pike's Peak? There is a cog railway to the top of the mountain and once you are up top the greatest donuts in the world can be bought at the summit. It's like 14,100 feet so almost as tall as the mountain the boys ascended. You can also drive to the summit since there is a road to the top and the world's highest road race takes place there once a year but since I've done both a few times the railway has the most amazing views in my opinion and feels more magical since you don't have to worry about going off the road to your death

[@cindygr8ce]

I also love Pikes Peak since you can stay for a few days in Colorado Springs or Manitou Springs to acclimate to the altitude around 8000ft as someone with what can be extreme asthma I couldn't have done it any other way since i live in an area that's only a few feet above sea level. My sisters husband was stationed at Peterson Air force base so I always spent a week at the 8000before even trying to go higher since the 8000 gave me pretty horrible altitudensickness

I wish I so much younger than I am. You see, I am 71 yrs old. But that is why I wish I was around 32 or so. I was one of many people who desired adventure. Still do, but I'm slow now. Not to mention medical issues. But I've hiked the John Muir trail from Whitney Portal to the Yosemite Valley. I've also spent winters skiing in the Utah Mountains. I also skied while pregnant, that freaked out my OB/GYN. I've explored the Eastern desert near Moab and have hiked the Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon....the harder way South to North. My children sometimes hated me for dragging them along what I called "The Scenic Route". Those were usually taking trails into the mountains in summer and in winter exploring the deserts. My children are older now and the type of work I used to do wore out my knees and back. I have also traveled on medical missions to Ethiopia, Australia, and Eastern Europe when I worked for an NGO. I miss traveling and seeing new places and living with locals in their homes, learning their culture and eating the type of foods that they ate. I miss that so much. So I watch YES, living vicariously through you, spreading kindness and live where you go. Bravo!

I did this climb in 2018 and i'm glad the elements were in our favour. I live in southern Germany close to the the alps and it sometimes feels like as if the mountains have their own will.

I don't know if I'm ever going to take a crack at something like this again, but it was a privilege to share this experience with you. The closest I have remotely come to this was when I was 16. I rode my 10-speed bicycle up to the top of 14,000 foot Mount Evans in Colorado. Started at around 7,000 feet. Could completely relate to the slow, moment by moment, push after push after push.

Secondly, Tomas and Amar have a great chemestry and they don't need scripts to pull off the amazing work they have done with narating and explaining the whole journey.

These videos are seriously awesome. I'm so glad the channel blew up for you guys to have the means to do these adventures.

Wow... the cinematography on this one is breathtaking. Amazing video!

[@beatrizcascelli]

First of all, EPIC drone shots, simply out of this world 😍🫨 Second of all, what an incredible adventure & destination, guys! The sunrise was a God’s blessing! You have the most beautiful friendship, I admire you both so much! ❤️

[@gadakushaan]

Felt like I was watching a Netflix documentary, excellent production quality! Great video as always ❤

[@Liam1992]

Hats off to the drone pilot getting them shots 👏 amazing what you guys do! Wish i had people who would just say yes to taking a chance with things like you do! Been through a hell of alot myself and dream of doing what you guys do! Keep bringing the content atleast I can watch you guys do it!

[@ExploretheEarth-i6f]

Well done Etienne! Not only did you do this challenging hike but you also had to adjust the speed to capture the beautiful scenes for the video - really impressive. Your channel is inspiring and gives a unique perspective on memorable trips

[@zollotech]

Those epic shots at the end are🔥 Thanks for sharing another adventure. 

[@SushantThapaliya]

That sunrise drone-shot was 🤌 As an avid trekker and a hobbyist photographer, I always struggle carrying my gear, which is just a camera, a telephoto, a wide, and a tripod. Trekking all the way in that snow, with ALL the gear and a drone set, mad respect to Etienne. And love you guys for doing this. But seriously, the entire sunrise scene was one of the best shots ever.

[@consciouslygrowing]

the drone pilot deserves a raise lol great video!

[@Po1sonGirl]

That shot of the sunrise with the drone gave me such goosebumps... Amazing shots of what seems like a hard but wonderful experience. I love watching your videos for the courage, kindness, goodness, friendship and humanity they show 🧡

As someone who grew up in Austria/Tirol and walked and skiied the Tirolian Alps, and has skii-toured hundreds of times, I have a few tips for you or anybody else who is watching who skii-tours. If you ever go ski-touring again, a good tip you should always follow, is to always slide your skiis along the snow, because I saw you guys often lifting the entire skii, and that is not good and extremely tiring, and instead, lift just your foot and move it forward without lifting the skii. Secondly, you should take full advantage of your varying height settings on the back of your skiis. Most skiis will have 3 settings (one right at ground level, one slightly higher, and one for very steep inclines), and if you can tell that the incline is changing for a long time ahead of you, change it to what you think will fit the incline best, so for example if you see a very steep hill approaching for the next 200 meters, change to the highest setting. And lastly when you're going up steeper inclines, you take smaller, more frequent steps, and breathe faster, while you breathe deeper and slower and take longer and slower steps on flater areas, and this allows you to maintain and rebuild your stamina by sort of giving you a break when it gets flatter and allowing you to use bursts of energy on steeper areas and makes it easier. Also, when it gets steeper, bend down more into your knees, it helps a lot. +Make sure to take full advantage of your sticks, as they have multiple functions, the first being to stabilize you and stop you from slipping and falling if you do slip on ice or something, and the second is to make use of your arm strength to make the work-load a lot easier on your leggs, so try pressing on them and lifting yourself with them a bit more.

This is something that is simply perfect, the sensations that it can transmit trough a screen, is like... there is no words that can describe it. Thank u Yes Theory Team!

How can each video be more interesting and beautiful than the previous one 👏

[@ReallyMitch]

I think the profound fact of you guys making these videos will effect generations to come, and when all is said and done you have the most expansive knowledge of the human experience, and I feel as though there's an even bigger message in these videos, when a video or music brings goosebumps or feelings of inspiration, that I think means something more.

I've only found your channel and watched this week's program. I'm in awe of your ability and determination to climb to the highest hotel in Europe. Great video, thank you.

[@ismclai9011]

Love how real this friendship is and how much heart they have for each other going together through all of that. You know you have a real bro if he kisses you on the head, you guys are no friends, you are brothers and it’s so nice to see that these days.

[@osamabintokin998]

I just went to Colorado for the first time a few weeks ago, the city I live in is only like 900' above sea level, and our hotel was ~7000' above sea level. Went to Pikes Peak but stayed at the start line/pits for the hill climb, and could definitely feel the altitude change. I couldn't imagine going to double that elevation, let alone climbing a mountain. You guys are legends.

[@bentownsend4017]

Colorado peaks are high but not tall

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

It’s possible to feel worse driving to a summit than hiking from the base. I climbed longs peak twice and never felt too bad, despite not being in the best of shape. The trick was staying above 7000’ for a week and hiking above 11000’ several times in preparation. The thing about the Alps is the snowline is lower than Colorado. Sticky wet snow can be really taxing. I know this from hiking on snow in Washington State. Stuff slows you way down.

[@osamabintokin998]

@marshallsweatherhiking1820 I was literally above 7000' for just 3 days. No real time to get completely acclimated, so we just took it easy most of the time. This was back in late June, even during the race we just took it easy, but definitely felt the difference at altitude with getting winded easier.

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

@@osamabintokin998 Thats because 7000’ to 14000’ is a big jump in altitude. You really have to get used to vigorous exercise at 1000m higher than your sleeping altitude before going 2000m higher. 2000m + is too big a jump. Where you exercise is more important than where you sleep. I’d also say having to go a little slower is normal. Feeling nauseous and feeling like your heart rate won’t go down completely even when resting is when its a problem.

This place was completely rebuilt in 1979-80, the old hut was taken down and none of it remains, it’s not 100 years old. Still absolutely a crazy feat just being there.

[@llxxblondiexxll]

That’s interesting! But the forbearers/original builders still set the whole thing in motion and paved the way, I guess.

[@ragetobe]

@@llxxblondiexxll Yes a this is true, if you look at the old building it really was just a shack, this building now is a proper building.
