Ice Climbing Falling

[touge242]

why the chalkbag on the belayer?

[RubSomefastOnIt]

how often does a climber hit themselves in the face with the back of their axe?

[fuckcomments]

morons

[araratsummit5165m]

Very good adventure:) wish to be there!

[outtaluck11]

I'm watching those picks come back and nearly hit their faces... where are the clips for their hands?

[newstart49]

I just wonder how much true effort is put into succeeding in the climb knowing they have a safety? I mean if they didn't have a safety- would they more intent and actually succeed knowing the outcome would be much worse? They have more guts than I do even with the safeties. LOL.

[plasticmanandy]

@newstart49 There's no guarantee when you attempt a route that you will be able to climb it. Even with a safety system things can go wrong. It's not like riding a bike with training wheels- you have to put your body in weird positions and trust your strength and balance will carry you through the crux. Sometimes when I attempt a route I have to bail because I used all my strength up- it's not a question of comfort. Mentally you always climb like you don't have a rope.

[newstart49]

@plasticmanandy It all boils down to if you have a passion for something- your doing the right thing. In this case, I feel better sitting here watching it than doing it. LOL.

[trackerscott]

The guy holding the rope is getting worked over

[touge242]

so I take it at the end of the day they all go down and collect their landfill of climbing tools that have been dropped.

[DrRodrigoGonzales]

You guys probably never heard neither of mixed climbing nor drytooling!

[MrDanieldb]

Looks like some sort of circus act.

[Kaathii1995]

Bei 0:53 grade noch den Haken gefangen O.o

[OsceolaLongBeard]

ropes are for pussies

[pitot1988]

The title should be changed to "mixed climbing fall"! People will try t ofall when they lead on water ice in general!

[cumguzzlar]

i remember these faggy assed dudes falling everywhere! I turned up for this event, but forgot my kit, but the head mountain leader chief referee bloke made me do it in my plimpsols, knickers and vest. Still won too.

[spackwit]

@cumguzzlar According to my fat spazzy brother he reckons that his mate at work knows someone at the pub yeah. Who's uncles workmates wife, works with the black boyfriend of the bloke who broke into Carol Deckers dressing room and wanked all over her knickers and shoes.

[jizzspraya]

@spackwit Well my mum's sister, is Carol Decker's cousin's personal shopper and life coach. He reckonz when she was off her head on the Guiness, she asked him to perfom anny on her without a dental dam! Hadn't washed her shoes either. Is there any limit to the depths that woman will sink to?

[AcousticAJG]

imagen they tried to freesolo..ouch

[don2x8]

why the fuck there's always a blue person in their right? is it the announcer?

[thatgreggguy]

@don2x8 One of them is belaying (look it up) and I'm a rock climber so not 100% sure, but I think the other dude is spotting or just a friend who is onlooking.

[kaminskyjason]

@don2x8 Looks like those guys are on belay to me.

[MrClowntown57]

its a wonder that dude didnt cop that icepick in the head

[classicrocker07]

That one rock sure must be a bitch

[jkerns85]

damn that would suck if they accidently cut their own rope with that ice pick.

[Kardieschen]

I played ICE CLIMBERS on Nintendo Entertainment System! Liked it!

[epicmenstudios]

ropes are the next best thing to houses

[seneca175]

Drytooling is always the hardest part in iceclimbing.

[seessari1]

What's the music?



[JesseG381]

0:51 Shit i lost my pick! Wanna go get it for me?

[jbond423]

dat suck



[diezungen]

idiots

[MrBaebel]

@METALARCUZ : this wont bother Chuck Norris at all.

[MrBaebel]

Chuck Norris does it with his finger nails...and he wont fall.

Chuck Norris is WAY BESSER than every fag in the vid. LOOOL.

[TheAmazingScotsman]

@MrBaebel Chuck Norris jokes, oh wow...

[MrBaebel]

@TheAmazingScotsman : Do you know a besser WITZ???

btw all MAMMUT™ ropes...best you can get....and - as usual - SWISS QUALITY

From little SWITZERLAND - where all the guys wear their big ruggedised steelballs in a nice woolly haired nutsack...to impress the lady of choice's grandfather who's generally is the keykeeper of the BIG FAT bank accounts EVERYONE owns here...

Maybe you think this a strange ritual, but - honestly - compared to ice climbing...?? and to old pal Chuck...???

[detibry]

@METALARCUZ thats what chuck norris said......then he laughed

[Stefan1789]

ROFL the one at 2:10 is the best :-D

[IzzyIsou]

goofy white people.

[stevensonchase]

lol after the 400th time, they still haven't realized that they are ICE CLIMBERS. rock isn't their element

[Snorri520]

@stevensonchase actually mixed ice is an up and coming sport. it is no where as popular as say sport climbing but its growing to be a quite large sport.

[MrBaebel]

@stevensonchase : They can't separate rocks from solid ice. Chuck Norris does that without puttin' his shades on...

[MultiCunnyFunt]

@stevensonchase that comment makes no sense

[paraconti]

This climber fell coz he broke the golden rule: always have THREE points of contact on the surface. You can see he slipped once he tried to move two (a foot and hand) parts of his body.

[swansob]

chuck norris doesnt need a rope to float

[ceebo100]

So what if, an axe got caught in the rock momenteraly.. and just after you fell it droped. You look up to catch it and BANG!!! HOWS THAT!, only.. eyes cant catch.. well, not in an ideal fashion.

[jimjim26]

this is suxxx no one dies

[emily121851]

what if one of th ropes brake

[dbw16d]

@emily121851 well then they fall

[PythonsandScales]

i all most died ice climbing because i put the harness a round my chest i crushes you:( Don't Try it you will Die

[MsJojo540]

@talensledge. You don't know anything about climbing to you? Watch the video again. It is a waist harness. You are a dumb butt are you. Get your fact right.

[asusmobo123]

Dufus leashless climbing. All show and no go.

[ZacharyLewisBloom12]

@asusmobo123 have you ever climbed ice? well i have and i know that while leashes add a certain level of security to a climb they also very much limit what you can do, for example what if you want to match on a tool without your other getting in the way you clip one on to your harness and problem solved.

[asusmobo123]

@ZacharyLewisBloom12 Hangdogging.

[bakinek]

its stone climbing with piolet, very embarrassing:D

[darkkaiser20]

ice climbing with a shirt, good idea >.>

[bernhardfranz]

dan mazur invited me to go ice climb ....

[Ghost6CBR]

The fat guy is next in line...

[talensledge]

the crotch,worst place to put a rope lol

[blackXSpr]

@talensledge Moron

[gangdod]

Ive always wondered how people don't slam their dicks into ice-cycles even with the ropes 

[Punkster113]

wow i didnt expect that it would be that boring xD

[PhonebookKiller]

Ezio coulda done it.

[pitot1988]

like 2:00

[Miiiitch88]

*SNAP* AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH splat

[sparrow819]

Ropes are good.

[MrBaebel]

@sparrow819 : Chuck Norris does that without a rope, even the stop of falling!

[serpretet]

@MrBaebel chuck norris doesn't have time for this. He simply grabs the mountain and forces it down into the earth until it is his height.

[lCheatAtGolf]

Damnnnn 1:36

[YupHio]

the title is quit appropriate

[Imakeplanesboom]

@YupHio how

[GridironVideos]

You should change the name to "Ice Climbing Failing"

[MarkCoupe08]

Am i the only one that thinks trying to climb up rock with ice picks is frickin retarded? ice, fair does, but rock..?

[aziarg]

So what? why is this even considered impressive? it really is not a big deal falling when you're climbing. Only if you're going first, but having the rope from above it really isn't a big deal.

[superjezz]

Did they died?.

[stargirl123456789100]

if they drop them sharp things to hold on2 the mountins wid they r skrewed

[canokiwi]

belayers getting shot off into the cliff when climbers fall. directional anchors the simplist of ideas

[thermalbug]

Sharp objects near a rope under tension? No thanks. hahaha. Twin rope technique could serve a better purpose here.

[canokiwi]

need to get some smarter riggers on that comp

[dmosier]

@canokiwi

why do you say that?

[mohawkmeat]

Jeez. Nobody leashes their tools?

[rey619yomama]

The ropes look awful thin

[redtail5]

they know they can use there hands were theres no ice right?

[bigshoewc]

@redtail5 No offense, but you have no idea what you are talking about. 

[redtail5]

i don't ice climb, i rock climb but the parts were there is no ice don't look like you need to use axes. i assumed that's why they were falling out.

[kfrb1]

@redtail5 dry tooling for mixed climbing where you encounter ice, snow, rock is becoming very popular here and is necessary on lots of climbs. Ice Factory in Scotland has lots of vids you can check out about use of crampons and tools on rock.

[Skydivingkittens]

Is it me or does he just suck?

[xxxxcocotazoxxxx]

Totally fake!!!

[iPledgerx]

1:35 bet that hurt that girls vagg

[sethy2004]

sylvester stallone could do all that without a harness

[greg31415]

I noticed the climbers are numbered - is this footage from a competition? Did anyone finish the route w/o falling? If so, it would be great to see that in here also.

[bigshoewc]

@greg31415 Its from an Ice climbing competition in Colorado. Ouray is major destination for ice climbing, pretty awesome stuff.

[3Mudbone1]

@bigshoewc It's also where they filmed 'True Grit' with John Wayne.

[htknickers]

Best ice climbing fall is the one in Modern Warfare 2.

[dodadodo25]

reminds me of the first mission in cod mw2

[HeadNtheClouds]

Why would they be using ice axe's on rock? Gotta dig those fingers in there & have the right climbing shoes.

[seth319]

@HeadNtheClouds Its called mixed climbing. You have to climb a little of both rock and ice.

[mataco2000]

@HeadNtheClouds It's called Dry Tooling. When you come out of the ice and into the rock, there is no place or time to change boots and put away ice axes....

[DBCuniversal]

gaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygay­gaygaygay

[LOLman55565]

only chuck norris could do that

[dariodebe]

@LOLman55565 chuck norris IS the mountain

[IslandLifePete]

full respect to these guys that do this climbing .i would be screaming and pooping my pants if i had to try that LOL

[repelghosts]

Hahahahaha...must'a stung like a bee,huh you fucking moron!

laffing all the way!!!!!

[repelghosts]

More idiots!

gEMMA

[DeathKeeper]

Joting in my nuts.

[D0kuChannel]

Wie sich die Frauen jedes mal fast in die Hose machen xD

[VuDu4000]

If only the ropes was made in China huh, then they'd all be dead :)

[organicshopping]

Thanks for the video

[mountainstandardtime]

And this proves what?

[Narinomis]

@mountainstandardtime Gravity is still working =D

[manchiano]

i fell worst than all u guys i fell 67 meters nd no protection i lost a foot nd hav no moor balls

[00Avenger17]

I wonder how many spikes that guy in the blue jacket has had in his face....

[jarostone]

now try this my friends, without the safeties. We'll see if you've achieved master level, muahahahahahahahaha.

[Adil888]

what a stupid music. could u find anything better ?

[recoveredperv]

I have only ice climbed once but it seems like they are falling because ice axes aren't the right tool for rock climbing. Am I wrong about that?

[Porsche010]

I want to see BLOOD!

[lvsitiwdr]

oh crap that makes me remember when i was learning ice climb i fell some times that scared a bit...but well its an interesting video

[jamezjamiezpro]

VERY SCARY...even with a harness the shock of falling is fucking scary!

[naruxhinatreyy]

COD mission. LMFAO .

[vivitar45]

good way to take some ones eye out with them pick things when they fall

[ale848]

my balls hurt just watching this

[EwanTBC]

I like how its ice climbing, yet they all fall from climbing rock :p

[martiman0909]

how boring nobody dies

[deejayedwards]

Did hE died?

[DonTomDerErste]

yes. +

[Hasuris]

Just curious: is it possible to get even more bolts in this rock? I think not...

[itvreport]

Krásne :-)

[ferraricalif]

Wouldn't that be a barrel of fun, getting your face impaled by a crampon spike?...lol

[Peewee34]

always thought if u took a big fall on an ice route on like a second or third pitch n the fall was big enough to lift the belay then surely the ropes stretched so tight the axes could easily cut it if they touched the rope cos u literally need to push a sharp knife against a propr tight single rope to cut thru it wen its holdin weight???

[gheib1]

Hence why when they fall, they try to spread the axes and crampons away from the rope...also hence why I think I will stick to free climbing.

[TastyCake001]

@gheib1 coz no rope is safer then a cutable rope??

[decibel333]

Free climbing describes climbing without tools (i.e. axes, cams etc), but still with a rope.... Free solo is climbing without anything

[turbovtec93]

Free climbing??? You mean soloing?

[siralantaylorATlive]

Never done ice climbing/ climbing/ dry tooling but it looks bloody hard! Full respect, its looks bloody fun though although unassisted....fuck that! lol

[GforceDown]

XLNT music for this vid. I had to watch twice...... once for the falls and again for the great belay work.

[braxstoned]

nice vid*ice climbing rocks-- check out my climb on washington states largest non volcanoe "bonanza peak" see ya

[Cobra0911]

I don't know anything about ice climbing, but i'm guessing that "never loose your axe" is like rule 1

[davidgrahamscott]

Belay!!!

[ClimbingChrispy]

Less falling, more sending. Why are they using tools on dry rock? Is that just some pussy form of climbing? I go out there with my hands, chalk, shoes, and ropes.

These guys are using clamp ons and ice picks. True, it is still hard, but not as hard as a hand jam on a horizontal roof going through a crux!

[zmoosy]

It's called mixed climbing

[loosecannon9669]

It is called mixed climbing/dry tooling. Id like to see you try it and then call it a pussy sport, it is hard! You are obviously just a rock climber probably a sport climber and you are definately not a mountaineer. The hardest routes in the world ie North face of the Eiger require climbing rock with Ice axe and crampons so get your facts right before mouthing off. These particular climbs shown here are bolted so a falling would not be too serious but again try it and see If you can man up to it

[Snorri520]

mother fucker loose cannon.... you dissing rock climbing? cmon dude. not cool. i dont think mountaineering is a pussy sport, some people do, but doesnt mean you got to dis on rock scaling

[loosecannon9669]

I did no where in my comment dis rock climbing! I am a climber so that would be a bit stupid my comments are a response to climbingcrispy whos comments have dissapeared who was dissin (as you put it) the dry tooling saying these guys are cheating for useing ice axes to climb rock and it was a stuoid type of climing I will remove my comments as to not confuse any more easily confused people.

[Snorri520]

hey, its all good. haha

[gheib1]

Lol come on now loose no need to badger free climbing or ice/mixed. all are equally difficult and fun as hell. I would like to point out Dean Potter's recent free base climb of the Eiger though. Depends on the season what you need for that mammoth of a face.

[DellaKateFlower]

Great views of the belayers as they're catching the falls

[MsElectriclover2]

about what % of falls end up being serious ?

[Nurknemo]

Not very much of this is actually ice climbing... most if it is dry tooling.

[XBAGREMX]

Why people climbing I not undestand???

[hoegaardenful]

Have you ever tried?

[duckyduckmanduck]

dickhead

[alsum501]

He's not very good is he!

[cbrusharmy]

Hmm... there's a reason I stick to rappelling only

[donteatchocolate]

its because your a pussy.

[cbrusharmy]

Perhaps; perhaps not. You'll never know for sure, so why don't you stick to remarks that you can prove.

[donteatchocolate]

because your a pussy?

[cbrusharmy]

Ok, you got me laughing there! :-)

[jwboll]

this is just like watching flies fall off the wall after spraying them with RAID.

[gautlet996]

soo... does anyone make it up that rock/ice wall?

[ocall1919]

just think there are people out there who do this without any gear, just shows how easy it is to be brown bread at the bottom

[whybenormal4you]

I wanna try that!

[Soymilllk]

isnt there a big risk that their ice picks might hit either themselves or someone else below when they fall?

[stealthmarine]

no, no risk at all....

[bobs101]

ahahahahahahah :))))))))))))))

[elKuarlos]

well duh

[dallascoboysfan40]

@ NeeeeverMind... I do! And I love it! Rock and Ice climbing are 2 of my absolute fav sports. And I'm a chick. Now I may not be into the mixed climbing you see here (and think that it would be helpful to use leashes for the axes...) but It is way safer than everyone thinks.

[KurtClimbs]

I liked the part when the climber fell

[ZJACORBINAS]

@KurtClimbs hahahaha nice comment

[00Avenger17]

@KurtClimbs I good sir approve of this message =P

[texNoz]

@KurtClimbs

I musta missed it..

[Zickino167]

@KurtClimbs lol devil.

[manwithnoname123]

watch out for falling ice picks!

[tricofilms]

Hahaha! Everytime I see ice climbers I think of Yukon Cornelius XD;;

[ritid69]

you must be wierd

[gcdwg09]

ill stick with rock climbing, rather bust my knuckle on a rock when falling than accidently put an ice pick in my leg, but i wouldnt mind giving this a shot anyway

[thorblai]

looks like a good way to loose an eye
