Rakaposhi 7788m (Nort Spur - Alpine stye attempt)

  • 2:27 - 2:31
    Its going to come all the way down to here?
  • 2:31 - 2:48
    I'm running away.
  • 3:30 - 3:32
    It's hard work this Alpinism.
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    Or Karakoranism?
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    Masochism!
  • 4:00 - 4:03
    Such a beautiful climbing, here!
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    And we enjoy it so much!
  • 4:10 - 4:14
    This is the 150 time we do this.
  • 4:16 - 4:18
    Hm, that was elegant!
  • 4:21 - 4:23
    Ridges and ridges...
  • 4:36 - 4:39
    Ugh... At least there are nice views!
  • 5:05 - 5:09
    I guess, I have never been so tired.
  • 5:11 - 5:14
    Tomorrow, the rock band is waiting for us.
  • 5:14 - 5:20
    Maybe it'll be a punk band...
  • 5:23 - 5:26
    Antishow Edelrid...
  • 5:29 - 5:32
    This boots are at least 5 kg.
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    We would need seven miles boots
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    rather then seven-kilo boots...
  • 5:39 - 5:41
    The wisdom of the day
  • 5:41 - 5:42
    After three days
  • 5:42 - 5:44
    We keep climbing somewhere
  • 5:44 - 5:46
    and I'm waiting for some platform for our tent...
  • 5:46 - 5:49
    ..and there is always just a big shit...
  • 5:51 - 5:53
    Come on! Dig!
  • 5:53 - 5:56
    We need a place to sleep!
  • 6:22 - 6:26
    Hard work to make a platform for a tent!
  • 6:26 - 6:28
    But it is a nice one.
  • 6:28 - 6:30
    It fits exactly!
  • 6:30 - 6:33
    Its good to be home, eh?
  • 6:38 - 6:40
    Nice view from a window.
  • 6:44 - 6:47
    Jirka is already cooking a delicious dinner.
  • 6:48 - 6:53
    A bit crammed.
  • 6:53 - 6:55
    But cosy...
  • 6:58 - 7:00
    We are climbing towards the rock band.
  • 7:00 - 7:02
    Its still awful hard work.
  • 7:43 - 7:46
    It's good, isn't it?
  • 7:46 - 7:50
    Nice surprise today!
  • 8:23 - 8:27
    Hotel Rakaposhi.
  • 8:27 - 8:28
    We hope the weather will stay good.
  • 8:28 - 8:31
    Its getting cloudy.
  • 8:31 - 8:35
    But there is still a bit of sun.
  • 8:39 - 8:42
    This is the hardest work of the day.
  • 8:53 - 8:57
    Well, of course the weather got worse.
  • 8:57 - 8:59
    There is still some sun down in Hunza.
  • 8:59 - 9:03
    But here snowing...
  • 9:03 - 9:05
    Well, we will see.
  • 9:05 - 9:08
    not sure whether I want to go outside...
  • 9:09 - 9:11
    I don't think so...
  • 9:15 - 9:17
    but i'll have to, I guess....
  • 9:19 - 9:21
    Ondra peeking out of the tent.
  • 9:24 - 9:26
    Disgusting.
  • 9:29 - 9:31
    It's too short to the rock.
  • 9:42 - 9:46
    It's so good when it goes through.
  • 9:47 - 9:49
    And when it does not crack afterwards.
  • 9:50 - 9:53
    Not the best ice.
  • 9:53 - 9:55
    But we'll trust it.
  • 9:55 - 9:58
    Ondra is going to try it out...
  • 10:10 - 10:12
    And we are trying to figure out
  • 10:12 - 10:13
    where we are
  • 10:14 - 10:17
    How do you enjoy this sugar snow?
  • 10:17 - 10:19
    Its ondra's favourite!
  • 10:23 - 10:25
    Maybe we have some more sugar in our bivouac.
  • 10:31 - 10:34
    This is quite awful.
  • 10:35 - 10:38
    One enjoys such an alpinism.
  • 10:39 - 10:41
    Hey, how could we climb this?
  • 10:41 - 10:43
    I don't understand it either.
  • 10:46 - 10:49
    Instead of siting with Ibrahim
  • 10:49 - 10:52
    and drinking Hunza water
  • 10:52 - 10:55
    and chewing tabaco
  • 10:55 - 10:57
    i'm so looking forward to get back
  • 10:57 - 10:59
    I'll be chewing like crazy when we get back
  • 11:00 - 11:03
    climb to a belay
  • 11:03 - 11:06
    It's great to abseil a bit diagonally
  • 11:08 - 11:12
    no, this is an abseil under 30 degree angle
  • 11:12 - 11:14
    this is not possible
  • 11:25 - 11:28
    I don't like it any more
  • 11:28 - 11:30
    such a way down
  • 11:48 - 11:50
    oh well
  • 11:50 - 11:52
    There is something that looks like a sedle
  • 11:53 - 11:57
    and nothing there
  • 11:57 - 11:59
    nothing, no seddles on this ridge
  • 12:17 - 12:18
    I'm not sure whether it is easier to climb up
  • 12:18 - 12:20
    or down
  • 12:35 - 12:37
    After how many days we are leaving the ridge?
  • 12:37 - 12:40
    it feels like after 15...
  • 12:40 - 12:42
    five?, six?
  • 12:46 - 12:49
    super safe abseil on an anchor we found
  • 12:52 - 12:55
    An historical event - Jira is leaving the ridge.
  • 12:58 - 13:01
    We will have to hurry a bit here.
  • 13:01 - 13:03
    because
  • 13:03 - 13:06
    The seracs are waiting for us.
  • 13:07 - 13:10
    I hope it will wait..
  • 13:10 - 13:12
    until we run under it
  • 13:14 - 13:16
    Any comments to the route?
  • 13:16 - 13:17
    perfect!
  • 13:17 - 13:18
    Super.
  • 13:18 - 13:21
    A long route.
  • 13:21 - 13:24
    With nice veiws.
  • 13:26 - 13:28
    90% made of sugar snow.
  • 13:30 - 13:32
    Taday, they announced 3cm of snow.
  • 13:36 - 13:38
    Which means 20.
  • 13:40 - 13:42
    if not, we will be angry
  • 13:50 - 13:53
    turn back our home!
  • 13:57 - 13:59
    bloody hell
  • 13:59 - 14:01
    That's interesting what is happening here.
  • 14:03 - 14:05
    it could start blowing from the other side
  • 14:05 - 14:08
    tu turn us back
  • 14:08 - 14:09
    But there is a crevasse on the other side!
  • 14:09 - 14:11
    hmm that's true
  • 14:11 - 14:13
    That would be worse.
  • 14:13 - 14:13
    What about our BC?
  • 14:13 - 14:19
    I hope it's not blown away.
  • 14:19 - 14:20
    that would be a shame
  • 14:20 - 14:23
    the main thing is that the food is not blown away
  • 14:25 - 14:28
    Milk tea?
  • 14:45 - 14:47
    Morning run.
  • 14:47 - 14:49
    I though thats it...
  • 14:49 - 14:50
    have you seen that?
  • 14:50 - 14:52
    how big it was?
  • 15:15 - 15:18
    Truly nice ending!
  • 15:18 - 15:20
    A week ago we were just walking here.
  • 15:25 - 15:30
    here we are drying things
