Troll Wall by Kilian Jornet | Salomon TV

[@jeffspicoli2643]

When skill overcomes insanity... I was gripped for you Kilian! Bravo!!!

[@SalomonTV]

Word.

[@NielsPetterLiset]

7:33 That part is really scary! Poor ice for the axes and icy for the skis. Good that he takes his time.

[@0L0FED]

and here am I, thinking I'm the coolest kid on the block whenever I ski something that is 45° in perfect condition. So much respect for these dudes on pushing the boundaries of what's possible!

[@SalomonTV]

🙏🏻

[@pierremalanjacobs9257]

Kilian Jornet is one amazing athlete! Very inspiring video

[@SalomonTV]

He sure is!

[@jeanettejrgensen6682]

You got hikers, climbers and basejumpers on the troll wall...and this crazy dude!! Yolo!!

[@vamvra5498]

When your S Lab ski sticks and cuts into the wall like a welding torch...trust it and stand on it ... great for Salomon and Kilian.

[@claudesaintpierre7352]

Recently, i saw The Trollvegen (Troll Wall) in june and it's really impressive. But there's no word to describe the Kilian Jornet's performance in winter. Awesome !!!

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome that you got to see it with your own eyes, Claude! This rock face is MASSIVE!

[@Shouldbeeasier]

Gave me shivers all the way and then film ends like that haha. What a legend

[@bartsimpson208]

Kilian made us stare at the Solomon logo on his helmet, skis, t-shirt, and at the bottom of the screen for almost 9 minutes LoL I now understand why is it called a Troll Wall :)

[@SalomonTV]

😂

[@LisaCulton]

I was on a 60 degree Schlepplift (T-bar lift) last weekend and it made my legs wobble. I felt it was an accomplishment.

[@VernalFilm]

That must have been 60%, not degrees. Thats still very steep for a schlepplift though.

[@SnootchieBootchies27]

That was the gnarliest thing I've ever seen. Ima just keep skiing pow, myself.

[@MegaGronis]

Troll wall . I love this Mountains.

[@joeljenkins5873]

Thanks for the subtitles for all of us single language speaking Americans....

[@NakedWarriorPoland]

I'm big fan of Kilian since I red his first book. Now running to be like him one day :)

[@SalomonTV]

💪🏻💪🏻

[@AviationSports1978]

Respect, ice climbing and skiing the Troll

[@vonderlust]

Those camera lens distortions make it hard to get a feel for the actual conditions. That said, kudos to Killian on another amazing feat!

[@fredvoccia]

Un extraterrestre !!! C'est qui le boss. Bravo

[@SalomonTV]

[@Vincent-di8me]

Flippante cette plaque de verglas verticale à la fin

[@thoreau1992]

Ce qui me fait flipper c'est quand il lâche les 2 mains

[@tarponmonkey39]

It doesn't exactly look like a fun ski down to me. But everyone has their own interpretation of "fun". Definitely a great accomplishment.

[@wheelbegood]

That's a new discipline there - a mix of free soloing and skiing it's called SKI-SOLOING 😄⚡️

[@45li209]

Super piste verte! Je recommande, vivement qu'ils installent un télésiège.

[@feldenkrais193]

What a line! Insane to most of people but makeable for Kilian. I hope I will develope in the direction of that kind of skill. Stay alive;)

[@nunonns]

I am a big fan of yours Killian, especially your love for nature and for being outside respecting nature and I believe deep in my heart that you should search within the deepest part of you if there is another way to evolve besides making just another incredible dangerous thing. I have been through the same road you're on, not so dangerous of course but honestly it looked to me that next time you could do that descent with the hands behind your back or with clown shoes just to increase difficulty. Sorry for the opinion and thanks for the inspiration in so many things.

[@NicoJTX]

Best athlete of the century !!!

[@SalomonTV]

🙏🏻

[@petermuller6330]

Crazy, crazy, crazy!!! Super impressive!!!

[@mariuasturies]

Y despues sale Messner en "Path to Evetest" diciendo que Killian no es alpinista, no me jodas! Autentico ski-alpinismo, pero menuda bajada extrema, cracken!! Mola ver los que no salieron nunca de pistas ni de remontes mecanicos escupiendo sandeces, "isti ni is isquiir, isti ni is autintiqui isquiii.. ", a pastaar! Y disfrutar de cracks de esta talla!

[@JoseLuis-np2zl]

graaaandeeee hermano !!! bravo !!

[@GabrielSHaandstad]

My uncle and his friends climbed the troll wall in the winter 20 years ago. At the top they got chaught by a avalanche and they fell from the top to the bottom. My uncle and one off his friends survived, but too off his friends died that day. The trollwall is a wall that is extremly risky to climb. And its such a sight to see in person. Hope that people that climb this wall are carefule.

[@SalomonTV]

Sorry to hear about this sad story. It's indeed a very spectacular place to see and climb.

[@oliverfd1834]

Ive been there, i cant believe thats Even possible

[@ggoose11224]

Ollie my family own the farm called Fiva at the base of this mountain

[@konstruktivismuskonstru9360]

that's a not calculable risk. Kilian won't get old, like Ueli, if he keeps on doing such things...

[@SalomonTV]

It's... STEEP!

[@laowai2000]

Scary. Absolutely zero room for the slightest error.

[@craigm5713]

Well if he had gone over the other side of the troll wall he wouldve been going a lot faster....and needed a parachute to boot. Love killians stuff. In age of mobile phones he is out there livin it

[@milesbaker4775]

C’est vraiment incroyable!

[@ggoose11224]

My family own the Fiva farm at the base of this mountain!!

[@SalomonTV]

Nice backdrop 😍

[@donaco8659]

Impressionnant !

[@ridethree]

Except for the two places where its actually wide enough to make a turn this doesn't really look like skiing to me. Where do you draw the line between skiing and downclimbing with skis on so you can say you skied it. Nevertheless great achievement and Kilian is an exceptional athlete

[@dethwisper]

Yeah, I don't know how to feel about this video. I get that it's an amazing achievement, but I don't consider that to be skiing. I'm not belittling the guys accomplishment. It's pretty crazy to do it, let alone on skis, but I just can't call this skiing. Props to this nutjob for having the balls to do it though. Respect.

[@fwdbias9099]

@@dethwisper yeah the skis literally do nothing for this, they don't add security, they don't save energy or add speed. They're just a liability, just downclimbing with crampons on would take less effort and time. Cant even really say you skied it so much as say that on the way down you wore skis for no particular reason. I've seen a number a couloirs done in similar fashion and can't say I see the appeal.

[@HendrikMorkel]

That's some crazy stuff there Kilian, happy you got out of it alive! Maybe it's time to retire soon-ish and just live a happy life in the Norwegian mountains?

[@KyleMeyr]

A real-life super hero!

[@purnamadiiteh5256]

Amazing skying

[@SalomonTV]

😉

[@emmanuelberdugo3934]

trailer légendaire, skieur extrême et au delà de l'extrême...Killian est un ovni

[@ikeikeikeikeikeikeikeike]

This is too sick

[@SalomonTV]

🙌🏻

[@josephregan1007]

What a madman! So sick

[@klauswhitedreamer]

Bravo !

[@johnmcmillen4540]

oh man that's so otherworldly unimaginable. What sheer steepness and in part really icy ! Deep bow in front of this epic achievement. Is this the most difficult ski descent on the planet (because of the brutal combination of length, steepness and technical challenges)?

[@SalomonTV]

It probably is among the most technical and difficult ones for sure.

[@jordipuig1680]

[@SalomonTV]

Impressive, right? 🙌🏻

[@Theninjaonthemountains]

Crazy crazy guy which is why I love him!!!

[@SalomonTV]

😅

[@nikolagamesTV]

Amazing how he skis such a steep mountain, walking is one thing skiing is another this cant be categorized as walking on skis

[@phildurre9492]

if you have to use the ice axes its not skying, its climbing with skies on the feet. without wanting to say it’s easy, of course its a performance!

[@racerschin]

there was zero skiing on this video. ski is flow. where is no flow, there is no skiing. so, zero accomplishment. only danger. who cares.

[@juliomonasteriobacarizo3629]

EL MEJOR . UNA MAQUINA PERFECTA.

[@SalomonTV]

💪🏻💪🏻

[@RossLeavitt]

That was an incredible accomplishment. The video needs two things: subtitles and an ending.

[@MrZepLed]

It has subtitles 😊 check the settings

[@jeanfrancoisdetaille]

I am gonna try that with a pair of fins and call it skin Alpine diving

[@georgepapanastasiou8073]

Crazy!!

[@debrunsfar153]

Holy crap!

What are the animal tracks up there? Unbelievable!

[@roymitchell2]

The link that brought me here said there would be skiing? All I saw was side slipping and down climbing.

Kilian 😍

💪🏻

[@georgebrankov2143]

Actually, today the maximum steepness it is possible to ride is a full 70 degrees or 275% gradients. For a big surprice.

[@dylanstandingalone]

If I can't get to the top without ropes, I'm not going!

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

Whished that Salomon can do more videos in Canada, AK and North West of the US ! or Japan!!!! Thanks

[@psychedeliccheese]

salomon freeski is your zone for that stuff.

[@SalomonTV]

Hey Fernando, we've got a lot of content shot in North America, check out our episodes here: tv.salomon.com/channel/freeski-touring The Bon Appetit Ski crew went skiing in Yukon, Watch Bon Appetit: Yukon we also spent a few days out at Mica Lodge: Watch Mica: One More Round and our man Mike Douglas went to Japan in SalomonTV "Fountain of Youth": Full Story - Fountain Of Youth and plenty more. Hope you enjoy these episodes! 👊🏻

[@davidskyrun7421]

Magique...

[@emiltjonneland721]

At what point is this just down climbing with skis on?

[@hagenexner9462]

I admit the guys has balls of Hercules, but hey, let’s face it, this is not Skiing.

[@TheStereoField]

Chris yep. Call it like it is

[@lucasravix2890]

It is why it is called ski alpinism :)

[@wojtekszatkowski8556]

Skiing has many faces. One of them is Killian and Andrzej Bargiel.

[@racerschin]

@@wojtekszatkowski8556 no skiing.- sorry.

[@eckhardkoehler3013]

Technically he's on skis on snow, but yeah give me powder and trees any day. That no hands hand switch whilst standing on an ice crag wearing skis, f that!!!

[@GalDornick]

Killian you are a Spanish treasure, NO, a world treasure!

[@curniss5241]

Is there a part two to this video? What happens?! lol

[@csjoeker]

he sends it. he's kilian

[@tomrankin2564]

Yep you are a legend, but I really think you need some help! Mental 👍🏻

[@marcosadelino6990]

Scary

[@erikkemper]

07:35 Really ?!!

[@dpvandermaat]

I know right. At what point are you not skiing anymore :/

[@FuckAdds]

Even with crampons it looks scary ! But in steep ski there is a logic to keep ski "beyond reason" ... but reason is not the same to all of us...

[@aehostetler]

Looks like a good day of skiing in New Hamapshire!

[@dragoslupascu2096]

The video doesn't go much beyond that point, but I think they got him off the cliff with a helicopter or on foot.

[@blondieblondie7086]

Yes it is

[@mikemoore38]

Franchement c'est époustouflant ce que fait KJ . Il aborde une nouvelle discipline et dépasse encore les limites . Cette soif inextinguible de performances , jusqu'ici il en maîtrisait les risques par sa très grande connaissance de la montagne . Ne franchit il pas la une limite , dans cette course effrénée vers l'extrême ? Ueli Steck n'est plus de ce monde , pourtant il était le meilleur , le plus rapide de sa discipline . Ou est la marge de sécurité qu'à toujours eu KJ dans ses performances ?

[@Alexandre-nm3lo]

surtout que maintenant il a une 3e bouche a nourrir, je me demande si c'est facile de s'exposer au danger de sa passion et a la responsabilité de sa famille en même temps, il a beaucoup moins le droit de prendre de risques. Au passage, hâte de voir ce que deviendra son fils...

[@chaosinternational3584]

Alright, now snow board down it

[@aghaashtar9716]

If K2 can be Skied then y not this baby

[@monjezentaito]

Qué peligro!!!!

[@jorgeeK2]

After Travis Rice rode and Cody Townsend skied that crack in Alaska, I’m just not impressed by this kind of trek anymore. I know, I know Ice and so many other perils that make it difficult but still.

[@mactek6033]

That's not skiing. That's climbing down with skis on.

[@Cactar8]

I cant help but wonder why the fuck anyone would do this.

[@razcohen5590]

Mac Tek well yeah. A bit too steep to ski on 😨

[@ritzyllama]

@@Cactar8 my guess is because he's paid to do extreme shit in order for Solomon to pay him. Also, I've got a feeling he may be insane because in the videos where he does this kind of nonsense he is never with a partner

[@Kevin-sy8uf]

@@ritzyllama like I'll kill myself and no one else

[@SebHaarfagre]

@@ritzyllama There's extremely few who can do this, let alone do this and not be a danger to others in the team. Any extreme skier would know what I'm trying to say... As for the "not skiing" part, this is 60 degrees. And it's riddled with ice parts, drops, and twist and turns. He _HAS_ to do it this way, if he wants to live. I feel a bit dumb for having to explain this.....

[@alessandropia1680]

Sicuramente un grande atleta, ma cosa ha a che fare una discesa come questa è come tante altre discese estreme con la bellezza dello sciare e dell'andar per monti? Al mio paese si dice, il troppo stroppia.

[@pbandjosh]

Super impressive but not that aesthetic / appealing for me. Downclimbing ice with skis on is kind of like drytooling in summer - sure it can be really hard but meh.

[@nomadtrails]

exactly my thoughts.

[@henrymiller8859]

Yes, seems strange to me

[@majkieltv2112]

Where's lobg material about Bargiel and K2 ride ??!!!

[@andrewblack7852]

I’ve skied for 48 years now, I watch all the alpine content. I’m a fan , but that wasn’t skiing, that was just survival with skis on. I don’t get it but I think it does convey the line to me. I am not interested in attempting anything like troll wall!! In fact I think I enjoy skiing, you know fluid smooth turns, trees, park style, pow days , light and fun touring... but not this corner of alpine danger!

[@thedarkfalafel9323]

Dude, this wall is considered extremely dangerous to climb IN SUMMER, and the guy fucking skied it down

[@sneakypeps]

That's gonna be a no for me dog.

takes guts but would hardly call it skiing more like ambling with skies on,,good watch regardless

Vivian Bruchez or Paul Bonhomme ;)

Actually he is not really skiing... not that is possible but he is not doing it either. Just surviving. Which is incredible by the way, giving the conditions he is in.

[@kickmonlee3390]

I wouldn't really call that skiing down the mountain, it was more of a down-climb while wearing skiis

[@dougdavis8986]

Calling that skiing is a big stretch.

[@bellavista7]

7:39 no hands.

[@lewisyang91]

many armchair experts on youtube again. I for one enjoyed the video, and people that think it's not skiing can go have a try "skiing" this route...
