At 5:27 your crampons are almost falling out.. i'd say you really picked the wrong pair of crampons for the job. being aluminum you're gonna trash them in a minute and also they're really not solid enough for that type of terrain. That could have been really dangerous
For this route in august I would pick one Petzl Gully for ice axe and Petzl Vasak or Sarken for crampons. Taking automatics and an ice tool is way overkill in august
The second abseil is dangerous now ; it's better to go to the north face just before it by a new abseil and easily join the normal route a little higher ...
probably you got them for free, but why did you bring full aluminium crampons in a rock ridge route? I have a pair of Irvis Hybrid crampons, they are amazing but I leave them at home when I know that it will be mostly rock.
Ça pourrait être super sympa, de pourvoir avoir des sous-titres en français, pour ceux qui ne maîtrise pas assez bien la langue de Shakespeare 😇 Merci d'avance!
You try to sell gear while using the worst gear possible on a classic easy alpine route. Use iron crampons. Aluminum hates rocks. And seriously who brings a Nomic for that. A light and short ice axe will do the job way better!

probably rented crampons like his helmet.
@@akaTheDevil No look at his other videos lol
You never know your limits until you find them eh?
Great video, Matt (and crew)! Chock full of useful info for those of us who have never been alpine climbing. Keep it up!
Very jealous! Looks amazing! Very useful video for someone keen to learn alpine climbing! :)
Please show more! Would je interesten in seringen some of the belayed parts, how u Made z’n anchor and how you charges ropes, etc.

"Don't bring a second axe, it'll slow you down" ... brings 3 beers to 3800m

Did this route in august, pretty much zero snow. Very exhausting first bit to the rap and the ice axe saw no use after the glacier
Enjoyed, would like to see more.
Did the boot wiggle out of the crampon at 5:26? That's not really cool...
As this is Cham I'm assuming it uses the French Alpine grades, not the British/UK

Think they were trash after climbing the Ridge
Full Cosmiques Video link is missing in the description...!
sorry! bit.ly/3eUwo3e
Why would you be tied in for an abseil?

I will buy the gear you advertise when I see you climbing in Pakistan some 3000+ feet cliff.
Why is climbing at 1000m in pak harder then the alps?
@@paddyoneill3243 Because in Pakistan they say they have seen the Yeti
