I love this guy! After watching this I was more than stoked to go for a walk "out-n-about in the hills in Winter".... The presentations in this whole series are outstanding. Very clear and easy to understand. Not a lot of fluff. Just straight-forward and useful information, delivered in a friendly fashion.

[@glenmorelodge]

Really pleased it is hitting the right level and content for everyone, enjoy.

[@amirlevine2232]

6 years later still the best tutorials on youtube!

[@adactuslvox2150]

Mostly just watching this video to hear this guy say "crampon" again

[@thatfriggingbathroom2656]

I love the calm, clear and concise style of these. Well done.

[@OddChr]

Excellent - best presentation skills I have ever seen! I never really paid attention to how I do this, and I cannot explain it well. Now I can just show this to friends and they will be prepared and have the right mindset. Thanks! Chris in Norway

[@AdityaDeorha]

Mark, that was an amazing video. Hats off to you for helping beginners learn the basics before they venture out on their first ice and snow climbing experience! This would also probably be helpful to more experienced mountaineers.

[@alwaon3820]

Very many thanks! I am making final preparations for my first ice climbing next week. Very helpful videos, all giving me more confidence!

[@musicandmountains916]

cheers from the States. Well done...and the weather looks choice.

[@matthewganley5951]

Of the handful of crampon videos of seen this is by far the clearest

[@n3pbw]

thanks for the helpful and easy to follow guide. wore mine for the first time in Snowdonia last weekend. faultless and trouble free, made the walk more enjoyable.

[@conflectiz]

Is it just me or is this guy’s accent like music to the ears? I can listen to him talking about cramponing the side of hills all day long.

[@IainRichardson]

Excellent video. This would be great to watch before a winter skills course...

[@dominicgriffiths8125]

Agreed..excellent 👍

[@seamushand8439]

Fantastic instruction and clarity of video details

[@nashidtravels]

Is it just me or the Brits are exceptional teachers? Good video.

[@jacquelinesmith2994]

Excellent detailed information. Thank you.

[@stevegoodrum2168]

an excellent clip, very informative. Cheers.

[@romanrodionov3628]

Brilliant. Clear and concise!

[@engine2truck6]

The real question is: how does William Wallace use his crampons? Lol just kidding! Such a great video. Clear explanation and demonstration. Excellent audio quality and the video & editing very well done. Thanks for posting.

[@pandaprophetable]

Dude yes. So informative.

[@ChristopherSLucas]

[@lalipsie5]

really clear instructions with out waffle - thanks

[@johngo6283]

This is a terrific video.

[@timbowilderbeeste8709]

Very interesting. Thank you. I'm heading to Nepal in September for a long trek that involves five 5,000 meter passes, and have been advised that it might be handy to bring some micro-spikes, or preferably crampons along. I'm guessing from what little I've read that for my hiking boots, which are a pair of Salomon 4D 3GTX boots, I'll need to get C1 crampons that simply strap on. But in that case would the technique you showed for kicking in the toe spikes on a steep slope still work? I would have thought you would need a rigid boot to do that?

[@nikolaivedeleramundsen532]

did c1 crampons work with the salomons?

[@raymac6262]

Informative -- thank you very much.

[@AhmedBahgat]

Best video. Cheers

[@LoLo-ue5xe]

Thanks this helps a lot

[@TheWIZELY]

Fantastic video thank you.

[@SMOBY44]

Awesome video! You've got me as a subscriber. Like the igloo at the bottom of the hill. Any vids on that?

[@jimsagubigula7337]

Thank you

[@washingtonsmythe2]

Excellent teaching.

[@geraldberliner5260]

Really great. Thanks so much

[@weasel07]

Great video ! Thank you!

[@UwU-lo4dv]

8:30 Whose igloo is that? x)

[@paghal11]

Igloo etiquette forbids one from asking such a personal question. Just nod approvingly as you pass it and all will be well.

[@LetsdanceRo]

great video, man :) Thanks for the info

[@p.richter9592]

Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇴

[@time.7106]

Great vid, thanks.

[@alexandersupertramp7353]

Take a drink everytime you hear, "Crampons"! Good luck!

[@BorisGadjowsky]

Very useful, thank you!

[@tyshannap4449]

Very nice. Thank you.

[@WasteMediaTV]

Thanks man

[@callumsumsion9261]

Looking at getting into winter walking/ mountaineering in Scotland. I have a fair amount of summer experience but absolutely none in winter. Can anyone recommend a good winter skills course that includes use of ice axe and crampons, Avalanche knowledge and navigation. Thanks Callum

[@callumsumsion9261]

wiredAV Thanks, will look into it

[@jayfrei]

Crampons on, crampons on, crampons on....ahh, there we go, good for the day now ;-)

[@Quarh0dron1]

That is how it should be explained.

[@RANANCOHEN]

Great video!!! Thanks! Which model of crampons is it? Can you recommend about good pair in normal price (40-70$)?

[@2675142]

I see you have Scarpa boots. Are those "alpine": crampons for vertical ice climbs? I only have mountaineering crampons that i have a hard time getting them snug so my heels don't slip. But I was ice climbing with mountaineering crampons which is not the correct gear, right?

[@maxsteelMountainLover]

+Maureen Anderson B3 are needed for ice climbing so that you fit in crampons that have strong front toe teeth :)

[@glenmorelodge]

[@charliepeebles2531]

No mention of descending "en canard" which is a very important technique.

[@commonkingslifts]

What kind of boots are those?

[@danstompinado3881]

i like it...thanks

[@-anonymoose-8070]

What brand are those crampons?

[@sebastianflynn1746]

+ADK Wilderness petzl

[@-anonymoose-8070]

+Sebastian Flynn Thanks

[@-anonymoose-8070]

+Sebastian Flynn Thanks

[@Inigo_0]

putting yer crampons on

[@wolfie1g]

take a shot for every "crampons on"

[@sahmus]

This is the type of guy to spend $15000+ on ice climbing gear alone

[@shujiangcu]

The only thing is, if I am hiking with someone, I am scared to poke them with my crampons.

[@mamneo2]

My favorite part was the iglu : )

[@Fahrenheit4051]

Crampon sounds like a type of muffin or scone.

[@eldaytripper2]

Crampons on!

[@t00bgazer]

did anyone count how many times he said crampon?

[@SteveIrwinDOA]

69

[@DAllan-lz3lg]

You need to say “crampon” more often ....very good video otherwise !

[@Pablito46]

The video is about carmpons.

[@grisza77]

My estimates point at the necessity to throw a random "crampon" into every other sentence. This would suffice.

[@grubbuk]

Cwampon

[@grubbuk]

Lol

[@elvisexplores7768]

I read this comment before watching the video and now I’m too distracted counting how many times he’s saying it 😅

[@iainsanders4775]

It's such a palaver fitting those things that I'd keep them on boots for climbing, & go to the snow-level, etc wearing other footwear changing on the spot. Why demonstrate on smooth snowy slopes like that wearing a helmet!!?

[@gimpdoctor8362]

he uses the toilet wrong

[@stevegoody3744]

Please let there be snow, please.

[@bonibonij]

Lara Croft brought me here.. :D

[@426superbee4]

he hee i wonder how they came up with the name of CRAMPONS? 🤣 Its sounds like having menstruation pains. I call them ice cleats

[@Quagmirian]

Say crampon one more time

[@Vercippu]

Just asking: is he Irish?

[@Vercippu]

or Leeds?

[@glenmorelodge]

Scottish:)

[@timbowilderbeeste8709]

I know it's a bit late, but how could anyone not tell he's a Scot? Guess it helps that my best friend growing up was from Glasgow! :)

[@danshady09]

how many times is going to say crampons hahahhahah

[@tommygornall96]

I just want to say, I could have done this faster... not everyone is a pro like me

[@motopsycho6169]

why the fuck am I watching this?

[@Tattedshawn10]

Boring

[@iwanou]

Thanks man
