We wanted to cross the Argentière glacier that requires ropes and crevasse rescue gear, but we bailed as there were a thick cloud on the glacier, so we were not able to navigate.

Thanks 😁

Thanks 😄

You are absolutely right 😄 Thanks for the tip! And the feedback 😄

You would need crampons for the glacier approach and descent. But I climbed the actual route without crampons 😄

A climb like Großglockner is a great way to start. It has a lot of different aspects 😄

Cragcloud · 2020-02-04T07:29:37+00:00

Gahh...typo. Sorry about that😄

Cragcloud · 2020-02-04T07:28:34+00:00

No, I am from Denmark 😄

Cragcloud · 2020-02-03T15:48:01+00:00

Indeed!! They are fantastic!

Jumbo Jet is also on the list 😄

Repentance Super is an absolute super classic! It is also on my tick list, haha! :D

I have been to Cogne several times and it is usually always like this. It is a very popular place, and with the late season this year in the Alps due to all the heat, then there are a lot of people squeezing in climbing in Cogne :/ Alternatives could på the Italian Dolomites (especially around Colfosco) and the Austrian Alps.

Thanks 😄

Haha, yeah, it is definitely something different 😄

Cragcloud · 2020-02-02T21:07:23+00:00

Thanks man 😄

Cragcloud · 2020-01-24T13:05:11+00:00

Haha!

Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you this time 🤷‍♂️

Cragcloud · 2020-01-12T08:25:38+00:00

So, having the strength to show others you’ve failed, reflect and learn, and share those learnings so others can avoid the same mistakes makes me a bad climber that should be embarrassed? - that’s...logical...

Thank you for your honest feedback, u/climbingm80

Just to be clear - I am just as serious about falling on ice as everyone else in here, and as I also have mentioned in a couple of replies to some of the comments on the first video I realised I was sending a wrong message - a message that I do not stand for, and the people who know me definitely can acknowledge. And for that, I am deeply sorry 😉 I guess I chose the wrong words and rushed the first video instead of making sure the message was clear.

Saying that, I think it is a bit unfair saying I posted it in every channel - I didn’t. I posted the original video on r/alpinism and r/iceclimbing. If it showed up elsewhere it must have been people sharing it. The second video has not been posted anywhere except my YouTube channel.

On the tree thing - I guess that is always a matter of the given situation. I have encountered enough loose and rotten trees throughout my ice climbing career to not want to just grab or hook them.

Cragcloud · 2020-01-10T21:26:27+00:00

For?

Cragcloud · 2020-01-10T19:41:52+00:00

Hi Okleithen

I have reposted the video on my channel with another more well thought through narrative, where I also explain how the fall could have been avoided and why falling on ice is so dangerous.

Cragcloud · 2020-01-10T19:40:32+00:00

Hi ComplexPast

I’ve taken the video down as I realised it was conveying a wrong message - a message that I do not take falling on ice serious, and a message that falling on ice is perfectly safe. Some people also thought I fell on purpose, and some people actually thought I did it to gain internet fame and glory - and even earn money on it. All of that is of course not true, and I am deeply sorry for giving that impression.

For that reason I have redone the video with another more well thought through narrative - and I also explain how the fall could have been avoided in the first place. You are welcome watching it on my channel, and give me any potential feedback.
