The Hardest Free Solo of My Life

[@Mount_Currie]

6a free solo in the alpine is serious business! Unreal work

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! :)

[@fredarendt7319]

There are at least a dozen of people doing this in Austria regularely. I was one of them until 2000. I am 66 now and still alive😄

[@Mount_Currie]

@@fredarendt7319 yes I am always surprised at seeing people free solo hard grades both in the alpine and at the crag

[@fredarendt7319]

@@Mount_Currie You plan a climb and your friend has not time, you start with an easier climb. Then you plan a solo climb with a rope for the key section. Then you climb a route below your capabilities. Finally you climb one grade easier. That‘s a dangerous period. A saying I heard years ago: a good mountaineer is a old mountaineer.👍

At the age of 70 I have just started indoor bouldering. But what you are doing, young man, is of a total different league. Respect for your dedication and consistency

[@andrazegart]

My friend, you are the inspiration here! At the age of 70 doing more exercise than most youngsters nowadays… All the respect to you too! Keep on climbin 💪

[@nic_20043]

Man watching this back as you're aging and unable to do this stuff anymore would be SO awesome. That's why I'm so happy I've been into physical hobbies all my life - It's such a blessing to be able bodied and healthy

[@theclinchmma4126]

i've actually been thinking about that same thing. i dont know how i would handle to being able to be active.

[@mustachiokubi2337]

This content is next level considering youre only at 16k subs and doing all this stuff blows my mind all the precise movements thinking through every step through is honestly crazy bro and each journey u make must feel like an absolute adventure for both u and the viewer and the feeling of being free and out in nature just byurself really hits different youre on the way to 1M subs bro trust me one day you will get there brotha!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words 🙏😊 Sounds surreal, but hopefully one day our community does grow that big 🙌.

[@COLBRAT]

This guy is underated as hell. He's a machine.

[@steff420]

thats a crazy climb man. stay safe dude, i wanna keep watching your videos :D

[@andrazegart]

Hahah thank you Steff! Will do 🙏😊

[@zech9065]

dont worry, he is wearing a helmet

[@friederichnietzsch]

You are the one KZbinr who I enjoy letting the ads play through for. Although idk if it adds to your revenue, but I hope it does. Great video as always.

[@andrazegart]

Brother, thank you so much! 🙏 That really means a lot to me, and it does actually bring in more revenue, so thank you again! ❤️

[@casey4429]

Your climbing videos really help me when I study. The soft sounds, clear camera quality and nice views really help me concentrate better. Can’t wait to outdoor climb when I’m older just like you!! :)

[@bombeu]

you looked solid on the 4'th pitch ... even the crux seemed under control. Great stuff! Keep it between reasonable limits, keep it safe :)

[@andrazegart]

Thank you, much appreciated! 😊 Will do 🙏

[@wvbo]

What an exciting adventure thanks for including us

[@andrazegart]

Thanks for coming along! 😊

[@nacegrabnar2331]

Your videos gotta be my favourite mountaineering videos on all of youtube! Keep it up

[@cziasai]

Watched four of your videos now and think your adventures are great! The real stand out for me is how well you shoot the videos though. Seriously your video skills are superb in the way you tell the story. Keep up the excellent work you are doing and be safe! 👍👍👍

[@jackolsson9450]

Really beautiful video man, I hope you enjoyed your climb, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@andrazegart]

Much appreciated! 😊 Thanks for watching Jack! 🙌

[@lukacagalj6465]

looks so easy when you do it :P really nice places you pick, maybe you could give viewers more details about places you select, would be interesting to hear some facts about the places you go to. svaka cast legendo

[@andrazegart]

Thank you Luka 🙏 I don’t like to give out too much information about the places, because I often climb/hike remote alpine terrain, and I don’t want some inexperienced folks repeating my ascents. Those who have the skills and experience to climb such terrain should be able to find it with just the route/ mountain name, which is always specified in the video. But if anyone specifically asks me about a route or a mountain in the comments, then I’m always happy to give out the information needed 😊 Kind regards! 🙌

[@Ozen_]

you are the best free solo in yt i really love your videos dont stop !

[@andrazegart]

Thank you my friend! 🙏

[@giacomocimenti2811]

I love your videos, i love your passion. Thank's for sharing this incredibles moments and the emotions. Stay safe bro 💪

[@andrazegart]

Thank you brother! I appreciate the kind words ❤️

[@Action_man_X]

It looks really good, bro! Stay safe! If you don't have climbing partners for the mountains, feel free to reach out-I’ll be happy to belay you. 💪🏻

[@andrazegart]

Thank you brother! ❤️ I do have climbing partners, and I’d be more than happy to have a few more to rope up with… but the problem is, then you slowly run out of time if you want to climb with everyone haha. Where are you from?

[@Action_man_X]

@@andrazegart Totally understand, sometimes there are days when no one can go, or someone cancels, and there's nothing left to do but climb solo. I'm from the Czech Republic. I love doing extreme winter adventures, so we can come up with something ;)

[@telkmx]

@@andrazegart Tbh you could as well climb with a partner and a rope tensed between both. No one fall but if the leader fall it's all ok because you always keep like 15m between u and the second. Obv if the second fall then pray for a safe slide lol

[@pepe7drum]

You guys are always so chill lol amazing work

[@dontbescaredhomie3137]

Helmet cam actually made me feel the exposure! Would never do what you do, but it does looks like a nice beginner multi-pitch route with these big ledges and great holds everywhere.

[@IdeaInsight]

I recently started getting interested about climbing, and you do by far the best climbing content in KZbin, thanks for your videos and keep living life to the fullest!

[@andrazegart]

I like how the butterfly landed on your helmet.

[@andrazegart]

Yeah, I didn’t even notice that until I started editing the video 😅 My guardian angel 🦋❤️

[@epincion]

Andraz that was such a good video, beautifully filmed and an amazing route. I would love to climb that ..on a rope with gear and you do it free solo. You are a special man

[@andrazegart]

Man I just know the feeling of days like this, I mainly boulder, but I can just smell and and feel it through the video.

[@andrazegart]

Ohh yeah! Sweet sweet summer days 🙌

[@kovaclimbs]

Looks like a nice route for soloing, the rock seems to have very good friction on the video. Good work dude.

[@howardcobb4354]

Love it. The rock has very good friction I think - and not all polished from over-use. Still 6a though, so needed a calm, experienced head. And wise words at the top.😊😊

[@andrazegart]

Thank you Howard! 🙏 Yeah the rock is nice and sharp which makes it so much more enjoyable 😀. Because the one thing I dislike (almost) even more than crumbly rock is polished slippery rock 😅 p.s. sorry for the late reply… been overwhelmed by all of the comments, and I didn’t have the time to reply to all of them :)

[@andreaskuhnel3872]

Looked like a very enjoyable climb on amazing rock. Very nice vid 😀

[@andrazegart]

It sure was! 😀 Thank you Andreas 🙏

[@ewan_young]

the route looks sooo sick, those rock shapes are so nice to climb on !

[@tomasberka2124]

Oh man, that was quite hard to watch! I mean - superb work, soloing 6a in the alpine environment/conditions! Cannot imagine even attempting it. My hands got sweaty just watching you and I held my breath several times. I know you like that kind of climbing but please, stay safe!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you Tomas, I really appreciate that! ❤️ And sorry for the late reply!

[@winstongludovatz111]

The problem is not the hardest free solo, it's the last one.

[@princeofexcess]

many live through the last one. they stop soloing

[@andrazegart]

Don’t worry, free solo is not the main focus of my career. But I do like to do a proper free solo every now and then.

[@ivo3598]

Yea like almost climbers went too young

[@MrMultiskunker]

You are awesome man! Congratz. Anyway, i hope that you realize how mayority of free solo climbers ends... Stay safe.

[@CloudCoderChap]

Really awesome video dude. Got a bit nervous when the buzzing (bee maybe) was happening like shit don’t get stung and fall off. I’ve just gotten into climbing and don’t think i could ever free solo, heck I’m not sure I’ll ever leave the bouldering gym and hit an actual rock.

[@rosanantoni]

That was sick Andraz! Fave spirit animal haha

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! 🙏 What’s your fav spirit animal? 😅

[@vox4293]

Wow the waterpipes on the first 6a pitch look crazy cool

[@andrazegart]

My favourite type of climbing! 😀

[@OneOfTheApes]

I feel like I'd do good in rock climbing if I tried, my brother had the body perfect for climbing anything, and so do I. I'm currently training free solo tree climbing, and It's going great. I could really use some grip improvement that comes from rock climbing.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you, I really appreciate that! 😊

[@AX1A]

Think on this young lion: Whether your success on this ascent is achieved with or without protection, it's remarkable to most of us. The use or not of protection is also irrelevant to most-- as is, sadly but honestly, if you die right there. Life is precious -- and there are times to risk it all. I respectfully submit that this route is not one of those. Strong & forward!
