Short clip of Glorioski 2011 Mt Rainier climb on the Emmons Glacier route. Shot on 2 Aug 2011 at about 13,000' while on the way to the summit at 14,410'.
Great climb. I did the same just one week earlier. Wish I had a helmet cam. I couldn’t get any climbing video with my handheld camera. Seemed too dangerous to do that. Needed to keep both hands free for ice ax and rope.
Hawkeye each team member is supposed to be anchoring themselves with an ice axe. If someone falls, he/she is supposed to yell “falling” so everyone else can get their ice axes in deep to brace for it. But what I have experienced is that people zone out, chugging along for hours, and they forget to pay attention. Once upon a time, the climber behind me fell into a shallow crevasse, made NO sound and I felt a tug and dropped onto my anchored axe. The guy at the head of the rope , in front of me, charged past me to pull her out. I looked down the slope and saw the two other climbers below us. They weren’t anchoring with their axes, just standing there stunned and asking what’s happening. That’s five people on a rope and only one anchor. I never trusted anyone after that on that climb. Don’t join a rope team with more than one newbie. Take classes, practice everything, use a guide service if you can. I’ve read a lot of climbing memoirs and studies about accidents since then.
@@yvoboers8426 while that would be possible, it would be dangerously slow. In the alpine, much of your safety comes from moving fast which pitching it out simply wouldn't allow
Yeah, you can see by the horizon that he has his head tilted to the left so it's not as steep as it looks. You'd still be in a lot of trouble if you lost your footing though of course. This is proper mountaineering.
Cool video! But the guy right in front of you has no idea how to use his ice axe! It should be in his uphill hand and he should anchor it with every step. Kinda made me scared watching it. Glad you all made it up and down safe (I know this was in 2011).
The sound of the ice poles in the frozen snow makes it SO present I felt like I was there !
Great Video, really enjoyed it.
I've been in this spot twice and neither time did I recognize how steep it is! Yeesh! What was I thinking! But oh, so exhilarating!!
Oh my gosh!!! Looks terrifying & exhilarating!
Climbing in July.....Thanks for the video!
This is on the Emmons Route about 80% of the way up between Camp Shurman and the summit.
That’s going to be terrifying on the way down!

NICE!

Oh hell no... Nope if never do some shit like that.
where is this passage exactly ?
Wow! I can’t see how them lines would do anything apart from take others with you ? Can some one explain to me how that line works?

Hawkeye well you got a perfect explanation
Rather be on my ones I think lol. I struggle to put my life on others hands
Would it not be better to go one at a time and belay or go individually(not being on the rope).

i have been here....the camera makes it look steep, but it's not
It's a mountain, moron. It's steep.
Umm..dude trust me when I say that section is steep!in july this year the route was much more broken up and steep.

actually 2 steps at a time, including your axe :-)
