The Thrill of Glacier Ice Climbing in Alaska's Wilderness

[@ArtWeThereYet]

📊POLL TIME!! Would you try ice climbing if the opportunity came up?

[@CerraEquus]

I was 9 years long rock climbing including training in a hall with many different difficulty levels, which I all managed to do after years of practice, so you can count me in on ice climbing :D

[@pratheepgopalan226]

HELL YEAH

[@cindywiech2675]

Um no…..I’m too old for that stuff but glad you did!

[@georgemartin5481]

After seeing the huffing & puffing version of Cora, I'll have to say too tough for me! You guys are awesome!✌️

[@nancymclaughlin7626]

Well, in college and during my 20's, I went rock climbing and caving. Today, at 66, I'm not sure about ice climbing at this point.

[@debraschoenberger6358]

I tried it in Iceland (with my camera equipment) - talk about work up a sweat! Your channel is one of the best on KZbin, the videography and narration are excellent! I've learned so much about Alaska from you guys!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Right?!? Ice climbing is TOUGH! So awesome that you gave it a whirl with a camera as well! And thank you for the kind words about our work. That means a lot 🙏😊

[@washingtonbob49]

Wow...wow...wow...you two are simply unstoppable! I loved this adventure so very much...great video and an unmatched musical track...Americana at it's best! Thank you Cora and Jose' for once again making my week so much better. You have made my love of Alaska even greater than I thought possible. I started hunting Alaska with my Grandpa and Dad when I was a teenager and I am now 75 years into my life...each video feels like a blessing to this vintage soul...thankyou dear friends so very much!...Bob

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Bob, you don't know how much joy it brings us knowing that you are enjoying the journey so much! Thank you for always tuning in, and leaving us these kind messages!

[@dcross58]

You two are truly amazing! We really appreciate your incredible artistry!!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you so much!

[@nancymclaughlin7626]

I love following your adventures.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you for being with us for the adventures, Nancy! 🙏

[@edwardmiller6353]

Great experience!! We appreciate the detailed history and geology information you have shared here. No, I would rather watch your video than do ice climbing, but maybe when I was younger. Thanks for the videos!!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yay! So happy you enjoyed the geology woven into the adventure. The climbing definitely kicked our butts!

[@DLeadVox]

💛💛💛 Really? The Dalton Highway? Godspeed and be safe! Can't wait to see it!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yeeeeep! Can’t wait to share that episode!

[@javig5045]

Oh you can bet I'll be here for the finnaly.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hurray!

[@tompfeiffer2755]

Definitely yes if we were much younger. What a thrill watching this adventure!❤ Congratulations!!!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Rock on! We definitely felt the stretch on our bodies!

[@jamesbolling6407]

So far only 20 minutes into this video. Very much impressed with your ice climbing ability.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you we are so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@mangrove9151]

A wonderful adventure and excellent video production. Many thanks for taking us with you. Keep it up.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Glad you enjoyed it!

The ice climbing technique has been revolutionized since I taught ice climbing with Rite Walling at the Adirondack Mountain Club Winter Mountaineering Club sessions between Christmas and New Years back in the early 60s. We actually cut steps and it was a slow process. We did have crampons but they were the US Army mountain troops crampons from WW II. Infarct much of our gear was from the prior war. We did have ice axes but they had long handles and were used to cut the steps, not to claim the face as shown here.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Oh that is so interesting!

[@burninoutloud]

Great video team! I was tired and cold at the end ;-) What a memorable adventure.

[@calledtojourney]

Kudos to you both for tackling such a huge physical challenge! That seems to be a little more adventurous than we're ready to tackle, but it was so cool to see your perspectives while climbing from your helmet cams. Great work! 👍

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you! Yeah, it was a stretch for us too. We ain’t spring chickens no more 🤣

[@alfredodejuan390]

Lo mejor que puedes desear para un día de escalada en hielo, son -10ºC. Alaska es una historia de volcanes, fuerzas tectónicas y hielo. Por cierto, en España también tenemos nunatak. Y Cora, que esos palabros al caer en el hielo te salgan en castellano (mexicano ) en lugar de en inglés, dicen que ya tienes dominado el idioma. Feliz semana y buen viaje!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Awwww pues gracias ☺️. Jose Luis me dijo que me ibas a decir algo sobre mis malas palabras 😬🤣

[@alfredodejuan390]

@@ArtWeThereYet Cora, dile a Jose que estoy curado de espantos. Conocí por Instagram a una chica de Navarra (España), que cuando escalaba, las palabras y los sentimientos podían estar a un universo de distancia 😂

[@Ingrid-ms5zc]

You do a lot to capture the great videos of your experiences.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you for appreciating that! 😊

[@cindywiech2675]

Amazing video as always……

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you so much 😀

[@luisv7117]

I found you guys today and I just subscribed of course, I will be here waiting for the next video thank you so much for sharing it with us best of luck you probably will cross paths with pablito from projecto Alaska he is coming up from Argentia in a motorcycle

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We are so excited you’re here and we hope you enjoy the future videos! We will be posting our next video this Sunday. Maybe we’ll run into Pablito on the road, that would be super cool!

[@ricklarson114]

You guys make some awesome videos!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thanks so much!😊

[@marthakratchman448]

Did we miss the premier again?? 😩. As always so interesting and enjoyable to watch. So impressed with you both! I think I am a bit too claustrophobic to try that! Cheers to you!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

It’s okay - not your fault! We had a big filming opportunity come up that we could miss (stay tuned for the Dawson episode from Season 2). It pushed us back 2 days and we couldn’t get the episode out at the normal time. It went out at about 4pm eastern. But the SEASON FINALE is coming up Oct 6!

[@javig5045]

Language, Language....just kidding, ok you guys are true adventurers as the danger factor just went way up, Kudos Amigos....Javi G.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hahahaha, I know I know…pero que puedo decir, curse words just sound so much better in Spanish ☺️

[@javig5045]

@@ArtWeThereYet Que No! seguro que si que hell yes for sure.

[@luisv7117]

A few years ago I had the opportunity of driving to Alaska and saw the devastation of the glaciers and how much they retrieve shameful

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, it is very sad!

[@dianabalto]

NAIH NAIH NAIH !

[@ArtWeThereYet]

:)

[@danthevandan]

Great video, felt like we were right there with you down the crevasse 😱 turns out I'm a bit claustrophobic

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hey Dan! We were actually just backing up video of the great toe ceremony! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the video - a little crazy down there in the ice, right?!

[@danthevandan]

@@ArtWeThereYet I’m looking forward to seeing your toe shot video Cheers 🍻 🦶🏼🧑‍✈️

[@Larkspur_in_July]

I admire the intrepidation you both possess. No way am I going down in that hole! I'm curious to know if your muscles were stiff and sore the next day....that looked brutal!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Oh my gosh, yes! We were super sore! We ain’t spring chickens, even though we kinda act and think we are….until we do stuff like this 🤣

[@Larkspur_in_July]

@@ArtWeThereYet Yes....I understand. I am 58 and wish I could do what you guys do. Carry on, my friends!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Will do! And will keep filming every (even sometimes) painful detail ☺️🏔️

[@Larkspur_in_July]

@@ArtWeThereYet Thank you, thank you, thank you....🙂🙃🙂

[@pratheepgopalan226]

Talk about Scaling Up and Down a Tricky Icy Crevice.......YEP I'M IN. Walk in the Park...eh. That said the year 2000 movie "VERTICAL LIMIT" kept blasting my head the entire time for some weird reason👻👻👻

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That’s awesome that you would be in for it! 🤘

[@luisv7117]

I hear you when you were going down that ice vertical decent you said something in perfect Castilian, so knowing that your English is perfect with no accent at all congratulations

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Cora’s first language is English, but her Spanish is amazing!

[@carolwright7503]

Wow

[@AgentTrust]

👍🙂❤️

[@ArtWeThereYet]

🙂

[@totolondon]

Too risky guys , avoid rock climbing Bussiness, We still need your videos lol 😮

[@ArtWeThereYet]

☺️ hahaha, that's sweet. Well, no more ice climbing in the foreseeable future!

[@luisv7117]

All you can see used to be cover with ice mmmmmm

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Every time we think about it we feel sad!

[@wellslj]

No

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We understand, ice climbing it's not as easy as it looks!
