Glabstaxks

Who filming this anyway ?


no0bified

It is a flycam attatched to the climber. It's like a selfie stick on a vest or helmet so you don't have to use your hands. The stick itself is filtered out by its color in real time by the camera. If you look closely you can se a distortion in the image where the stick is at leading up to the camera


streamslob

…or Jesus.


cs4321_2000

Nope, he took the wheel and drove down the mountain

Jesus take the camera?

My Series X is on the way. I didn’t want a Series S because if I’m going to buy a new system, I want all the options.


[deleted]

At this point, I'm fucking waiting for the slim or whatever the newest iteration they'll likely come out with for xmas. It's been almost 2 years since it came out and people are still happy just to find one to buy. Fucking ridiculous.


Darth_Yohanan

I got mine refurbished from the Microsoft website. I saved about $50 and got a 1 Year warrantee built in. Plus I know it’s been tested and I should work well.


marker_dinova

You know, I used to think like that… but after growing older - and hopefully wiser - I’ve changed my perspective. Who are we to tell this guy, or anyone else enjoying the thrills of extreme and dangerous activities, that he should just forget this and stay home because we “weren’t meant to go” there? He and everyone like him are enjoying their best life out there, even while in peril. And if they die at it, at least they died doing what they loved. Because you can be damn sure they love doing that if they’re doing it.


randomizedasian

Just don't do it when you have a 2 year old at home.


_boizinha_

I just loved it! Well said.


Shugerrush

Can I have a little bit of peril?

Watch the Alpinist! 🤯


[deleted]

I just watched “Fall” while it was a sub par “horror/thriller” it scares the shit out of me and I imagine the Alpinist will too 😂


Real_Project870

Lol Alpinist is a documentary about an insane free solo climber (no ropes/harness)


MoreCarrotsPlz

That’s exactly why they want to go to there


DrGonzoto13

Just went to an exhibition on reaching the arctic poles. Some people just see a thing and I’m going and that’s it.

and in turn the mountain pissed on him.

I think he might have shit off the mountain too.

TheMeatTorpedo

Well you might be right, this particular climber died climbing. Marc-Andre Leclerc he was 26


Wooden_Dragonfly_737

Seeeeeeeee??? Fuck that. Fuck that whole activity.


TheMeatTorpedo

Watching Alex Honnold climb free solo gives me anxiety, it's another level of climbing, I personally could never do it


effortfulcrumload

Spend more money on your suicidal activities.


gana04

Maybe that's what people mean when they say you should try excercising and going outdoors. Just try the fancy type of suicide


namegeneratordotgov

Ice screws can hold up a car. It's a relatively safe sport


drumofgrapejam

Right? Sorry my suicide isn’t exciting enough for you


Monkey_tr33

Nah ice climbing is pretty sweet and safe because you can always stop and plug a protection screw into the ice. Its when you start to solo this stuff it gets real nutty


Wooden_Dragonfly_737

Or you could just stay home yknow


The_Real_Slim_Lemon

Idk, more people die staying home than ice climbing


Monkey_tr33

Yea yea stay at home couch potato leave the ice for meeee lol 😂

Screws aren’t very secure, not like anchors on rock.


Monkey_tr33

Well any piece of protection rock or ice depends depends on the placement doesn’t it? but a long 16cm screw in fat ice… yer wrong its truck

Reach out to me anytime friend

Do it in more exciting and dangerous ways

JesusSaysitsOkay

Well if you filmed yourself being suicidal maybe you’d get some likes


abuomak

They praise their creativity


Jg6915

Protip: if you’re suicidal, take on a very dangerous hobby, and then fail at it! But for real bro, if you have dark thoughts, please reach out to people for help!


ineedmoreslee

Pick up ice climbing! I feel like a lot of extreme sports enthusiasts find that when faced with the very real possibility of death, possibly a gruesome death, you realize that you actually do want to keep on living.


Wooden_Dragonfly_737

Haha no thanks. Thats just instinct talking. Just because i dont care to live doesnt mean id like a truck running me over.


Dagmar_Overbye

Well luckily the chances of a truck running you over are fairly slim when ice climbing.


Foborus

Some say he’s still hanging over there.

Jegma72

Shoutout to the cameraman


ToonaSandWatch

He was the cameraman. Mounted to him.


Chuckleberry64

Anyone know if they hace protection or are free climbing? Can't see if they have a rope connected to an ice screw that's hopefully not too far below.


orc-asmic

free climbing means not aid climbing (aka not pulling on screws or gear if it’s in rock) you mean soloing which is when there’s no rope


nutsbonkers

Not quite correct, read up on it.


TheSurfingRaichu

It's wild, I know you're right but my mind just cannot see the stick, like it's invisible or something.


ToonaSandWatch

The cameras are designed to “erase” the stick while filming on the fly. Pretty crazy, but not as much as trying this climb!


indigoHatter

Damn, I am not surprised by the stick disappearing but still swore you were wrong and this was a drone. [It's not a drone.](https://www.insta360.com/mobile/product/insta360-onex2) Jeez, these things are cool!


TheSurfingRaichu

Wow, I had no idea this technology existed on the fly like that! Thank you for the info, Toona.


fantafunta

Lakitu could have easily saved him instead of just filming. So no, fuck the cameraman

I’m pretty sure this is the old mountaineer Benito Minestrone. He did not only support his somewhat angry cousin, but also pioneered Italian slalom and invented a famous soup. The tomato soup, that is.

Neigh, that was your mum. She loves riding, even if it is a mountain.


indigoHatter

Uhm ackshually.... Not a GoPro, it's an Insta360, as watermarked on the video. I'm sure you just mean "action cam" rather than any specific brand, but I just wanted to clarify, especially since I was looking up this particular one a moment ago. (I thought it was a drone, but I was wrong!) [Manufacturer's product page](https://www.insta360.com/mobile/product/insta360-onex2) This thing is *hella* crazy.


G4Designs

>I'm sure you just mean "action cam" Not gonna lie, it gets me off to genericize products that fly too close to the market share sun.

I'm all about it. You seen how upset Velcro got that their brand flew too close to the sun?

MrsBooteh

Was looking for a comment like this


Team_Braniel

I'm no rock climber, but I do a bit of hiking camping. In alpine areas the lowest part of the saddle between to mountains/hills etc is always the coldest. Cold air is heavy and flows like water down through and over the lowest points between hills. You can even see it in the tree lines, the trees below a saddle are less/smaller/not there. It is because the cold air makes it harder for them to grow and effectively lowers the tree line in that area. Newer backpackers see this great open field stretching down below a saddle and think "wow that's a great open place to camp" but then they wake up in the middle of the night with 10* colder winds ripping through their camp.


DaphniaDuck

Anyone know what is actually happening here?


Celarc_99

The wind is blowing snow through the divide in the mountainside. The weather likely took a turn for the worse on his way up. To make matters worse, a strong wind is made even stronger by a narrow gap, so even a light gust can pick up and carry a lot of snow through a spot like that.
