The North Face presents: Unknown Factors

Five climbers from the TNF athlete team headed to India’s Baspa Valley in search of adventure, big wall climbing and a new perspective on exploration. See more outdoor stories: www.thenorthface.com/approach
First suggested as an expedition destination by the late Hansjörg Auer, the team to finally head to North West India evolved, with Matty Hong joining Jacopo Larcher, Siebe Vanhee and the Pou brothers to make the trip.

All these north face vids start with nameing a dead person, heartbreaking. I’ll stick to getting my thrills elsewhere but big props to these folks

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Great video, marvellous climbing, and beautiful landscape.

[@martinondra6972]

This video just made my day (cause of great music, climbing, landscape, comments and atmosphere in general). Thanks!

[@JohnnyIDive37]

Hello, love positive people, awesome!

[@kathrynmasters6854]

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible adventures w/us. I Am pretty much always in my hospital bed...sadly....in 2002...I tried to rescue a group of kids from a pedophile sect and I had absolutely no idea that these pedo' sects are well organized & have members in very high places as well as in medicine. 3 kids killed....I've survived multiple attempts on my life & they have me isolated in Oklahoma from being able to reach good Medical intervention. So I Am dying....my once beautiful athletic body I was so active in life....took very good care of my body...and now...it is too destroyed can't even mow my yard. Watching these videos-docu's....they are getting to steal from Me seeing beautiful places & people all over the world...that's brings great tears of Joy & Happiness to My Heart & Soul....much gratitude for being unselfish & share w/us all. Namaste

[@SunshineNetwork143]

Wow Kathryn, very sorry.

[@moldpirate8113]

Oh dang

[@whosaidthat5236]

Now this is my kind of thing! Not the climbing part but the exploring the mountains ⛰

[@andrewhudson3723]

Infectious fun and adventure!

[@GermanGreetings]

You are honest, Mr. Hong ! I stopped this video after 3 minutes, to write you this. Thank you, Sir !

[@YutahNegi]

my Hometown.. lots of adventure

[@30m3]

They captured so much awesome footage.

[@campingdiaries6845]

woow ❤️ what an inspiring video for outdoor lover's

[@joshuavaldez230]

Wouldn't want to take away from the grace and beauty of the video but I would love if somewhere in the description, there would be a guide to everything they are wearing. Not saying to make it shoppable, more so for those of us that really care about the "functional fashion" aspect of what it takes to do things like this.

[@davemanago7678]

FWIW go to www.thenorthface.com/featured/summit-series.html and they're probably wearing the newest summit series stuff. I've been rocking summit series for years now and it's my favorite gear hands down.

[@chuyx6076]

Such a happy and inspiring video :')

[@tanner791]

Whoever was filming the big wall at the end - amazing work!

[@johnlaporte9757]

[@chuyx6076]

Such a happy and inspiring video :')

[@wanderspatz]

Wow 😳

[@benegesserit9836]

Since there are some bolts in the routes: were these faces climbed before or did you bring a drilling machine?

[@sagarrai3404]

Please come to Sikkim also for climbing

[@manuelconejeros1856]

Loved the video! Does anyone know the name of the last song? :)

[@thenavigatorsdiary5117]

how can someone unlike this video

[@Carlos-wu1cl]

Muy bueno. Es una pena que no esté la traducción al castellano.

[@joaquintadeo3609]

VERDAD QUE SI. SALUDOS PARA TI.POCOS SON LOS QUE ESCRIBEN NUESTRO IDIOMA

[@BarnaliD]

So, I get it now, you have to work hard in order to get those views. Oh, the VIEWS are like heaven! I want to experience that.

[@bolillo5013]

How are there only 9 comments?! (10 including this one)

[@jomeljames2567]

The right question would be why only so few comments and not how. It's an easy task for a computer geek. Been wondering about this for quite long and still can't think of any reason as to why someone would do this.

[@dylanelliott8495]

Does anyone know the name of the song that starts around 3:00?

[@BarnaliD]

Sounds like something from the 80's. I'll figure it out and let you know.

[@juliasoriano19]

Amazing

[@ricardasbertasius5577]

Mis amigos. Los Lamas del Tibet recorian las montañas del Tibet de mas de 6 0 7 y 8 mil metros de altura sin el equipo actual. Claro ellos eran humanos naturales de esas regiones

[@chuyx6076]

“ the people have been living here hundreds of years or more” really 😁

[@kamru.heights_]

Yes they were saying about us or our ancestors. Who resides here from hundreds of years ago. In the lapse of nature at Baspa valley (kinnaur)

[@gregormiller4037]

Fur Waiz!

[@franhgho]

How is it a first ascent with bolts already on the wall??!!

[@franhgho]

@Incomplete6230 so...the wall's bolted but nobody went to the top before?! Hard to believe. Who are you anyway?! :D

[@jakewaxman9050]

People bolt futuristic lines all the time by rapping in and developing a route (cleaning, bolting, etc.). Sometimes they bolt for themselves and can’t make the FA and it remains unclimbed until someone does. Other times developers develop routes for the general public. For routes of this caliber, it’s often the former. That being said, this route isn’t bolted. They are placing protection themselves.

[@Migguls611]

So when setting routes you may be able to do all the moves individually with rest on each bolt but to classify as a first ascent if im correct you have to go from bottom to top in one attempt no falls no assisted rests

[@user-wv1wg1yb1n]

Here are products I mentioned in the live broadcast that I've been offered recently, let me know if any of these have any interest to you.

[@janec.9706]

They hardly showed any climbing

[@Winged_Snek]

Lots of synthetic materials, probably lots of erm fossil fuels burnt to get to those locations as well. Egg 1 Face 0

[@howler6490]

Oh,no...an unclimbed crack is full of mud n grass. REALLY! welcome to the wild where things come naturally.
