Nice one boys. I'm loving the ski mountaineering series. Dave is next level, a class act teacher for sure. Great to see him again on the videos. Cheers.

[@StompItTutorials]

Glad you enjoyed it :) I am hope to do some more adventure with him in spring again :)

[@jonahbrauer7387]

You and dave are a sick combo

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you and I really enjoy every time me and Dave spent some time in the mountains.

[@DaveSearle]

Cheers Jonah!

[@travisnesse238]

Great video! Mangos are always a good choice. Except when you eat too many and can’t find a toilet. 😋

[@StompItTutorials]

That didn't happen but I will have that in mind for the future cause that would have been really inconvenient up there.

[@nomadtrails]

hell yeah, sick to see a collab with Dave

[@lounisregad6076]

The final part of the climb looked amazing. This rock formation is so cool! Thank you for the great content as always

[@StompItTutorials]

It really was breathtakingly beautiful and exposed for a few meters with about a 1000m drop behind the heel of my boots.

[@fuori_piste]

As always…great video. Enjoyable with all the teaching bits…and mangos too.

[@StompItTutorials]

I did a ski tour today and ate some mango on top again and it was great 😊 👍

[@abe3123]

Brb gonna go climb Mt. Everest real quick

[@camiloauersperg-breunner2821]

enjoy following your content. nice to see the development from park to freeride to ski mountaineering.

[@owenente9631]

Great video as always!

[@deborahpoliti1063]

Gorgeous video !Cheers

[@tnezthefrog8113]

Yup! Putting this on my bucket list!

[@andygustafson1]

Video is super helpful, thank you!

[@jl1685]

Very very good Video🙌🏼 thanks man!

[@JamesMadelin]

Superb! #EarnedYourTurns! 😊

[@callumglass]

THIS is awesome content! Loved it, cheers all involved 👍 👏

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you very much / Jens 😀

[@quaintlycrowish]

A great video as usual!

[@StompItTutorials]

🙏

[@akwa1909]

Gnarly vid Jens

[@StompItTutorials]

🙏

[@Brechtwillems91]

super sick video Jens, plss give us more touring/mountaineering video's!

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you :) I hope todo so. But first I gotta do some butters and snow plow turns :)

[@Dheorl]

I thought for a second Dave was about to call it a BFK when he tied the knot. Not sure if he just caught himself in time or if that's not such a universal term for that sort of knot.

[@DaveSearle]

😂 I nearly did...

[@walkingwithouttalking]

I buy the exact same mango pack... My favourite skitouring food ;) very nice video.

[@markbelanger5754]

Nice video. I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@StompItTutorials]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MontBlancGuides]

Nice video Dave / Stomp It!

[@StompItTutorials]

Im glad you enjoyed it :) You seem to have a cool. Maybe we´ll have to do Mont Blanc next? ;)

[@DaveSearle]

Thanks!

[@MontBlancGuides]

@@StompItTutorials With pleasure. Dave can guide it and I'll just ski around filming you with my drone!

[@markthomasson5077]

Great vid. Just curious, would it not be best to tie ends of rope into a carabiner? So you if you need to I. An emergency you don’t have to untie a figure 8, which may be in tension. As also a yachtsman, your tether always has a carabiner both ends.

[@Tarful556]

I wish you had talked about line selection on the decent. What were the risk mitigation techniques used for skiing a glacier?

[@StompItTutorials]

Sorry for missing that important part. Every topic touched upon in this video deserves its own video series to be honest. Maybe we can make that in the future :)

[@DaveSearle]

WE'll just have to do another one Jens...

[@rayneMT]

Hey Jens. Just wanted to ask, if you could have just rappaled down from the very summit instead of taking the long way "climbing"?

[@davidetabarini1167]

What gear did you use?

[@markthomasson5077]

Surely should you have a leash on the ice axe?

[@glab4350]

You filmed it this season or last?

[@StompItTutorials]

I think it was june 10th we got to the summit :)

[@zaviwaher9536]

Ladder was kind disappointing, that section looked very climbable. Awesome video though!

[@lollerskater]

love the vids, im learning a lot from your tutorials as i am a beginner. I have no idea why i am watching this as it is not relevant to me in the slightest. I think your guys' accents are so cool, can you do a video in your original language?

[@cjtathome]

Love how your always pushing your skill set on the mountain 🏔 👍

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you. Learning is exciting.

[@_e5598]

4000m is how high our lift goes here at Loveland in CO.

[@StompItTutorials]

Lucky you! I’ll go for higher another time.

[@_e5598]

@@StompItTutorials definitely can feel the lack of air when touring around here

[@theseb1979]

The lift in Loveland only goes to 3914m.

[@_e5598]

@@theseb1979 ah, rough head math. Regardless, you get the point. The "collectible" mountains here are anything 14k ft + (4267 m). I always just think it's interesting to consider what your current elevation is like elsewhere. In CO we have a few resorts w lift access over 13k.

[@zupiza4456]

Is it just me or is Jens kinda daddy

[@gunterparr1830]

Like your videos. Quite informative, thank you. Please consider no exotic food. Quite bad for the environment and nature… what you on the other hand obviously love. 💕.. Get to the local food market and get some winter apples or other dry food. This supports the local people and helps reduce your environmental footprint. Thank you! Cheers

[@StompItTutorials]

Thanks for the kind words and constructive feedback. I think about such things too. The one thing your comment made me think was. What is the sum total good/bad who needs the money more the Ecological farmer some where by the equator or a French apple farmer? I just don’t know how to ever balance ⚖️social good and environmental good / bad. Have a good one 😀

[@TR-nw8hz]

If you don't and can't tele, you shouldn't teach mountaineering or anything for that matter

[@StompItTutorials]

What is tele? Telemark?

[@counterfit5]

Nobody skis tele anymore
