Trekking in the Himalayas - Island Peak 6200m

[@mattiaswiderstrom6838]

The glacier was more solid in 2003. No ladders required.

[@fenngregory9346]

Jake, if you ever go climbing again please hold your ice axe the other way round so you can successfully perform an ice axe arrest

[@P1r4t3Qu33n]

the glacier looks a bit more gnarly than when i climbed this back in 96. nice film, thanks.

[@OutdoorPrep]

Thanks for sharing Jake. Maybe it’s the lack of oxygen or they didn’t tell you, but the backup carabiner should be on the rope, above the ascender. Not connected to the ascender like you’re doing at 6:57z This is in case the handle would break, the other part would hopefully stay on and keep you in place. That fixed rope also doesn’t look so good anymore, nor does the sling you’re attached too… glad you’ve made it back safe 🙏 cheers

My favourite Island Peak video, great shots, congrats.

[@Lio-chamindaperera]

I enjoyed your vlog, keep climbing.

[@koteswar009]

I like the Indian classical music Strings and Tabla drums 🙂. Beautiful video. I want to do this in early December 2019 after the 3 high passes EBC trek.

[@blueskiesN565TF]

Awesome video! I'm planning on EBC and Island Peak April/May 2022! Thank you!

[@enjoynepaltreks6860]

Wow...Wow...

[@michaeldelaney376]

Thank you for sharing this amazing video,truly inspirational stuff. Congrats on your summit, amazing achievement.

[@febycloudy2836]

Thank you for share...someday i want go there

[@enjoynepaltreks6860]

Very nice video

[@inferno715]

Damn, that’s intense! I entertained the thought of that but don’t think I could handle the exposure. I’ve been to EBC, but actual climbing is so much more intense!

[@Direkin]

Climb to the summit, find yellow snow. You were there in November 2016? Cool! I was there around that time as well. Didn't climb that peak, but I met another group that did. Am planning to give it a go as well.

[@psmszone6238]

Yang penasaran gunung yang di daki si dzawin. lari kesini, ngacung!!

[@howdoyouturnthison6129]

Banyak yg ngira dzawin ke puncak everest tertinggi bro, padahal ke island peak. 😣 banyak yg nyasar di video everest summit.

[@psmszone6238]

Kwkwkw iya gue juga dulu sempat ngira gitu , setelah vidio kedua nya keluar yang nunjukin peta perjalanan mereka mencar ada yang Ke EBC dan si dzawin ke island peak di situ baru gue cari tau island peak di google di youtube semua, yang ngira dzawin ke puncak everest hanya orang orang malas yang mencari tau bro hanya berpatok ke judul aja.

[@rockeydavinci8196]

@@psmszone6238 hahaha gw malah sampe download peta sekitar gunung everest jadi keliatan ada beberapa gunung di sekitar top everest, dan keliatan tinggi setiap meter perjalanannya ke gunung gunung yang ada di peta, termasuk island peak Tapi salut sama zawin, lebih susah ke island peak yg tingginya 6000 an dibanding basecamp everest yg tinggi nya cuma 5000 an

[@syumassh]

You went during the start of winter in nov? How were the temps? I’m intending to go there at the tail end of winter in mid February. I’ve done EBC in December before and remembered how cold it was. But there was no rain and hardly any show showers. Winter in Nepal is dry and cold!

[@anthonylacy4466]

Nice footage! Booked our trip yesterday to Kathmandu, Island Peak and Everest base camp 2.

[@midcommunity7980]

Cool stuff. which date? i'm going in july.

[@koteswar009]

Hi guys, how was your climb? Which company you took? I want to do soon.

[@mcbebu10]

Fanstastic video

[@lukequartermaine1495]

Hi, how do I go about finding a good tour company to do this trek once I get to Kathmandu? I've heard it's best to not book anything before I go but just a little concerned about not planning anything prior to arrival. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[@AroundAboutJake]

Hi mate, I use and have always used swotah travel ( www.swotahtravel.com ) Ajay the top man is one of my best mates and Climbing buddy. Hell go above and beyond for you. You can have piece of mind that he’s paying all the locals and staff correctly as well and not ripping anyone off. Tell him Jake sent you. Good luck mate ✌🏼

[@mr.scheffe1836]

Hi Jake! May I have all the equipment lists that you use (Outer, Insulation and etc.). Me and my girl friend just did the EBC on March 2017 and planing to going back for Island Peak. Thank you very much!

[@AroundAboutJake]

Hi mate, if you already did EBC then you will have most of the gear that you need to buy. Iwould purchase a fairly decent down jacket and insulated trousers, the best thermals are merino wool, and thick socks and gloves, both mittens and under gloves. Other than that any well respected trekking company in nepal should provide you with all the mountaineering gear you will need. its way cheaper to rent if its your first mountain that fork out a lot of cash to buy. you'll need to rent .helmet .ice axe .harness .jumar .crampons .boots that will accept crampons goes with out saying about a head torch, little first aid kit, thermas and all that jazz :) have a good trip mate :)

[@mr.scheffe1836]

AroundAboutJake Awesome thank you very for the reply and may I ask how much you paid for the trip?

[@AroundAboutJake]

Get a company while your in Nepal but i wouldn't pay more than about $1500

[@mr.scheffe1836]

AroundAboutJake Thank you again! 🥂

[@Olosiano]

De Luca, I am planning to do EBC and was considering doing Island Peak. I am just worrying that 20 days might be too much for me. My question for you is whether you regret that you have done Island Peak on your last trip? Or are you glad that you tested yourself before going for something bigger? Also, do you and your GF have any mountaineering experience?

[@ibrahimbenza6432]

How is it felt liked being in the island peak summit of my son,wan 6200m above sea level..?..hallelujah,amen..

[@MartaDobrowolska1981]

Hey, what kind of glasses did you use? I am searching for good glasses for Island Peak, which I want to do in April.

[@koteswar009]

Did you do in April?

[@koteswar009]

Did you get to do it?

[@magnvsmarcvs]

@@koteswar009 No, she couldnt find the right glasses .

[@jamesonbushman6650]

Hey! What day did you summit on Island Peak?

[@dukenepaladventure6433]

awesome

[@PinayAdventures]

amazing!! how did you go about hiring the sherpa guides? man have their info please?

[@andrewstorm8240]

Good job with filming this - can be really hard at attitude

[@dikyleozayanurrizal2890]

Nice

[@Olosiano]

Jake, thank you for sharing! It's a great mini Everest movie :D. What time of the year did you go? Also, how fast were you able to find tour company in Kathmandu? And last question: did you have any mountaineering experience prior to this "easy" climb? ;)

[@wasondln]

Awesome, mate! A few questions. How much did you have to pay for the climbing permit and the guide?

[@FretfulVids]

IAGO, I am doing the Island peak climb mid March as part of the EBC trek. The cost for the guide and the whole trek for me was around 3200 not counting plane trip and gear expenses.

[@straintheory6598]

Mate, those ladders look fucking gnarly!

[@suspower]

Amazing video! How many days did it take you ? i wanted to do this next year

[@koteswar009]

Usually first day is Chhukung to base camp, next day 1 am climb to summit and return by 3pm. rest in bsse camp or Chhukung. Some companies stay one day at base camp and do climbing course. Some stay at high camp one night.

[@ibrahimbenza6432]

Haven't got to have them yet still for the custody,wan n adam the island peak,taj mahal..,hopefully soon,amen

[@aanifzia]

you should come to Pakistan next year...!!!

[@koteswar009]

Wish to go to Gilgit-Baltistan for the high peaks.🗻

[@HelloMyNamesNino]

Lol the wind gusts made my butt clench

[@jigarchotaliya]

Howmuch did it cost?

[@koteswar009]

$1500 he said in above comment reply. I guess it includes full 20 days trip. I asked many Nepal companies from Chhukung 3-4 days its 800-900 USD.

[@letuyen4626]

@@koteswar009 that is helpful information thank you

[@magnvsmarcvs]

Narrow peak , not much place to dance around .
