We climbed the flute two to the left of the French Direct. I thought it would be of use to show people the mushrooms that have formed to the climbers left side of this flute. Most notable is the one with the tension cracks on the uphill side of it.

We don't need no stinking certification.....😂
You might not need it, but you do want it.
thanks a lot , very good video.. i looked few and no one was really explained anything
Hey Mark, Curious if you had a weight for the Sterling V-tx cord? can't seem to find the weight online.
Found it in a howNOT2 video, the sterling v-tx is little under 20g/m
petzl PUL or PUR?
PUR.
That was a great climb, brilliantly done with a great team.
Awesome, gracias por sharing
Mark do you think the RIT-900 is still worthwhile buying for a 30-45m contingency rope for the bottom of The bag? Or VT-X is still a better option? RIT-900 seems very easy to rappel and haul with. Good compatibility with toothed devices.
its fine, but I think the petzl PUR is better. RIT900 really collects a lot of snow, but its also higher friction for rappels. User preference.
Have you tried the sterling cord v-tx with a tibloc or micro Traxion? Seems like the diameter doesn’t meet the specs?
I have with the micro traxion for hauling backpacks on a multipitch climb. It was fine for that. Tibloc seems sketchy even with the largest locking carabiner.
I am not seeing the google sheet in description? mentioned at 8:12
I moved the sheet into the www.mtnsense.com course content.
like a movie 😍
Thank you!! Very useful 👍👍👍👏👏
🤔 Promo*SM
Nice skiing.
thanks!
So beautiful!
Beautiful. Thank you
Thanks Mark.
Incredible.
Legendary!
wouldn't it be much easier in late summer?
Kudos.
Have you been on Deltaform?
well done. my buddy and i also only used chocks on nutcracker out in yosemite the same year royal robbins passed away. seemed like a proper way to climb one of his routes in his honor. we really gotta give it up to the golden age climbers back then, they were something else.
slow as balls... wow
Only middle class rednecks would edit a video together like this to make a such a spectacular climb. Looks so boring
Very educational, thanks!
Hi, I'm from Trusted Media Brands, an LA-based media company. We would like to work with one of your videos. Please reply for more information. Thanks!
Don’t think they’ll be another repeat of the original route on the Wadd for a very long time.
Climbed about 3-4 pitches of rock above the steep snow/ice traverse in 1993. Bailed, almost killed by rockfall so many times. Did pseudo bivouac under small overhang until midnight waiting for freeze.
yikes. yeah we were thrilled it was a cold night and day while we rappelled down the main couloir. Definitely no shortage of loose rock up there.
Mark's courses are outstanding. He's a great instructor. No ego to navigate around, just straightforward solid info on how to stay safer in the hills and have more fun because of it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well, for me, it's 47 years too late, I wish I had it back in the day, have fun.
I adore backpacking, hikes and all that stuff. Every summer me and my dad go on 3-5 trips it’s so fun. Loves the video keep up the great work!
When will the other videos be released?
www.mtnsense.com/p/rappel the course is live now!
If only I wasn't broke
Replace "I can't afford it" with "how can I afford it" =)
Great video! What rappel device do you use for the 5.4 mm sterling rope when ski mountaineering?
Standard petzl reverso but I rig it special. Both strands in the same hole
@6:09 An important note is that the Edelrid rap line is rated for 2 UIAA falls for the twin rope test, meaning it must be folded in half and climbed in twin rope configuration, NOT rated for any single-strand falls. Also because it has non-elastic aramid fibers in the sheath, if you did take a proper lead fall onto that cord in twin mode I'd probably retire it after that since the elastic and hyperstatic materials would have a fight and something might break when it stretches that much.
Great points thank you
90% gear haul, 10% climb hit me hard lol
Is this the same route the beckey brothers did back in the day? Does anyone know
most of it is the same. We deviated right of their line for the last four of five top pitches. And just for the record, it was Beckey and his brother.
You gotta teach me before you leave or is it not possible because there is others doing it
I have a question Mark, when you ice climb do you use the same rope or a special one and I’ll do that class you have
Thank goodness I found you, your a god at this
thanks for the beta. first thing I did is take it off my mountain project todo list. XD
Fantastic video.
Unreal!
Underrated
Am I mistaken or is that rock on Waddington a really solid crystalline metamorphic rock? Looks great. And what a climb! Amazing amazing content!
