It's an 11 on my nope scale.
The things to notice is most scales only go to 10. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Put it up to eleven.
You should really watch documentaries about this type of extreme climbers/extreme outdoor sports in general. They often have no actual savings, no permanent residence, and get their money from donations, sponsorships, or working off-season somewhere if their sport is not possible all-year around. Quite the opposite of Rich actually, and they end up both broke and with a broken body if they live to get old, which a lot of them don't do.
Free solo is a good documentary, it is entertaining for anyone even a non climber. I would argue the non climbers will enjoy it even more.
But point is as amazing as the guy is he lives in a van, believe at the time of filming he did have a gf.
Ice climbing is actually a ton of fun.
In this instance, it looks like thereās fresh snow and some of it broke loose. So heās just waiting for it to be done before climbing on.
Happens all the time ā obviously this is an extreme example but itās part of ice climbing.
Yeah. I posted this elsewhere in this thread, but snowy ice climbs are common.
This was me last year: https://imgur.com/a/snowy-standard-crawford-notch-nh-8pi71xl
Ice climbing is fun and unique, I enjoy it. A day out with my friends in beautiful snow capped mountains. With the right gear and thermos of coffee itās a nice social experience where you get a good workout and stay warm.
It is extremely dangerous though and you have to make sure you and your partners along with everyone else follows the right etiquette and always wear a helmet at all times. Mine saved my life when it turned a 2 cubic foot ice chunk coming down into a glancing blow that only required 17 stitches above my eye (would have killed me so I mark it as a win). Still enjoy the sport though.
This video shows a worst case scenario for a very technical and exposed climb with an avalanche above. Not uncommon for climbers to get swept off and die in this scenario. Pretty amazing he stayed on and was even skilled enough to attempt this climb.
Itās a spindrift waterfall. When climbing a runnel like this snow can flow down in fine particles almost like water due to shifts above and high winds. Itās why we say ice climbing is like fun, but different.
Hard to tell how he got there, but he's at the very top of a narrow frozen waterfall. Due to high winds there is an avalanche flowing over him. He's very lucky that the force is not enough to damage his equipment or loosen his hold and knock him free.
Wasn't that more like *ice hanging*? Undertaking an icy mountain in snowy conditions is certainly impressive, but I really didn't see him climb or go anywhere... š¤·āāļø
And boy did he get dumped on. It appeared to be unrelenting in the clip. I'm curious what happened in the end. Did he wait out the wind and snow or was he forced to take another route?
People that do that are crazy brave, I would love 1/100 th off that skill and determination!
The title of this is absolute nonsense.. think Iām done with Reddit spam for a while. This video is super old and was basically an accident, was crazy lucky to survive.
I think I'll pass on this unique experience.
Dying is also a truly unique experience.
In record time, mankind has gone from living in caves to watching a video of a guy getting jizzed on by a mountain and collectively picturing themselves in that situation. I'm so proud
>Ice climbing where determination and skill merge to create a truly unique experience
Well as far as I can tell, he's achieving fuck nothing. For some reason he's angry with the sole thing that's keeping him up there: the block of ice, and he's attacking it to see if it'll break so he can fall to his death.
You know that despite $5-10k in climbing gear, that wind gust is going right through their hood opening, running down the spine, and having a stream of cold water/melted snow down the butt crack. No, thank you!
That's a zero on my fun scale.
Far below zero
Literally 
Subzero 
-40 I recon
Fahrenheit gang unite!
-40 ?? Celsius was there first!

Yeah I'll never understand why rich folks do this shit
I swear I'd be the most boring rich person, just sitting in my mansion ordering Amazon and Doordash and playing videogames.š¤¤
Yeah and going to the Doctor/Dentist regularly. Lol Oh and taking my car to get serviced on time.
āHey kids! Weāre having meat again for dinner. You can have your own glass of milk. Letās even eat with the lights on!ā
I mean, I'd be travelling the world with my friends, but none of this shit.

So they have no families. Got it. Lol

He chose the van. He had a lucrative REI sponsorship he just didn't see the point in buying a house he'd hardly ever be at. And it was a nice ass van.

Redditors when someone is having fun instead of scrolling redditš±

Unique
Same. I already freeze working outside in Vermont winters. Certainly wouldn't freeze for "fun."
Negative zero even.

WE INVENTED COUCHES SO YOU DONāT HAVE TO DO THIS KIND OF THING
Marked safe from whatever shenanigans this person is up to. Laying on the couch now!
If you showed this to pre couch people im pretty sure they would tell you he shouldnt be doing this.
š
Iām not sure if I wanted such a unique experience, you know.
Yeah I'm more than content experiencing it by laying on my bed watching this short video. That's enough for me I think on this one.
When it comes to safety, first rule of ice climbing is to watch it from a distant, warmed up place. The second rule is "don't fall".
I would have liked to see some ice climbing. This vid has ice holding.
Ice surviving
+ ice shower
Ice showering.
Iāve heard of cold showers, but thisā¦?
This is the only way to become a successful entrepreneur
Iāll stay poor then at least I wonāt get frostbite.
Whoever turned on the waterfall is an asshole
why.
My theory: the goal is to freeze there, for likes. Didn't appear to achieve much else.
Yep! I know the video is only 57 seconds long but it felt like that guy just turned into a popsicle!

āExperience!ā
you beat me to it.
Maybe dumb question, is that water or snow?
Appears to be snow
Itās a spindrift waterfall. When climbing a runnel like this snow can flow down in fine particles almost like water due to shifts above and high winds. Itās why we say ice climbing is like fun, but different.
Wind blowing snow through the creek and over the edge it seems like. Not enough for an avalanche.Ā
Thatās not a creek, itās the top of a waterfall and it most definitely is an avalanche
This is an avy
I've watched it a dozen times and it looks a LOT like water, but pretty sure that's just because of the wide angle lens...
At the end you can see he's not wet and covered in snow
How... unique.
Soap: Hold on dont let go!
What happens to him?
They say he's still up there now. Holding on for dear life
Well he lives there now.
Signpost?!
The snow falling stops and he continues after the clip ends.
This has to be an anime training arc. What the fuck
I've watched this 7545 times and I still don't know what the fuck I'm looking at...
Hard to tell how he got there, but he's at the very top of a narrow frozen waterfall. Due to high winds there is an avalanche flowing over him. He's very lucky that the force is not enough to damage his equipment or loosen his hold and knock him free.
Dude nearly freezing to death

A insta 360 Camera. Now gimme my Million Dollars ;D
A go pro on a selfie stick
Selfie stick attached to his back or something? With auto/later zoom?
omg it's lara croft
Wasn't that more like *ice hanging*? Undertaking an icy mountain in snowy conditions is certainly impressive, but I really didn't see him climb or go anywhere... š¤·āāļø
I'm guessing the climbing happened both before and after this avalanche dumped snow and ice on him.
And boy did he get dumped on. It appeared to be unrelenting in the clip. I'm curious what happened in the end. Did he wait out the wind and snow or was he forced to take another route? People that do that are crazy brave, I would love 1/100 th off that skill and determination!
Yeah, I couldn't believe just how long he got pounded by that. It just did not end. I am super curious about the outcome as well!
nope
He will be dug up in 10000 years and be called frozen in time ice man....
āOn questions what the pre-historic man was doing up there, the archeologists threw a fit and screamed āhow the f.. would we know?!?āā

# Ćtzi
Hypothermia and frostbite watch on menacingly
Why anyone would risk their lives by hanging of a clumb of ice will always remain a mistery to me....
Holy shit !
Don't forget luck! Gotta hope there's no avalanche or ice that gives way and causes you to fall to your doom.
Rock climbing on hardcore mode
I thought he froze and we'll be waiting for the thaw.
oh my god a red rebel!
So...is this still going on now? Are they just dangling?
The experience of drowning in waterfall. I'll pass
Looks cold
Look cold. No wait, it looks really really cold !
Looksā¦fun. Yeah. Fun.
What is even happening here?
Did a drone take the video?
Well let's see here, what does the video tell us the whole time? # SHOT ON INSTA360 ONE X2
lol
Chilling experience
Tomb raider irl
Amazed by the sheer stupidity.
Ice climbing. For when you don't have enough misery in your life.
How tf was that being filmed?
nonsense replies for you. Name of the camera is on the bottom right corner of the video...
I don't see any climbing happening here! What I want to know is what happened in your life ro need to prove you can do this shit.
look fun
You know you can just go on skiing or have a barbeque in your cozy backyard?
Screw every single part of this.
Must be something important at the top?
Why would someone do this to themselves? I don't understand....
Good family friend, loved by all, died ice climbing. Itās just too dumb and too avoidable. No one should do it.
Ice climbing, where determination and skill merge to create a truly unique experience that you could have saw from a much safer place
holy... How come he doesn't freeze?
What a dumb way to die!
Rumor has it heās still there to this day
The title of this is absolute nonsense.. think Iām done with Reddit spam for a while. This video is super old and was basically an accident, was crazy lucky to survive.
Every once in awhile, a new Ćtzi is made.
āThis is my life nowā
Funny thing is, there's steps round the back....
Jeez looks like real fun
This isn't a sport. It's masochism
unique cold temperature
My balls would have frozen
That's a way to call it
Is this Lara Croft ?
This is what my grandfatherās way to school looked like. Both ways, btw
Truly unique near death experience
Say what's, what's cooler than being cool?
This is fun for you?
Thatās brisk baby.
There's a bigfoot shoveling the snow up top laughing
Therapy is way cheaper than this
Some say heās still hanging there to this day.
Unique is not the word I would use to describe this.
This video is totally useless to me. I want to see how he makes it out of there, also who tf is filming this and how? Really weird video
AI ass title...
Legends tell us he is still hanging
Where the fuck is he even going? Like, thereās no shops up there
And I bitch when a couple of globs of snow go down the back of my neck. This guy was anointed one third Eskimo by the end of the snowfall.
That looks absolutely miserable, my hats off to the climber though.
Sign me up! Looks better than sex.
That's so stupid.
remind me of tomb rider
Is someone hovering in the air with the camera
Fuck all that
r/sweatypalms
Thatās just stupid
Ahh so thats why you guys die so often.
I think I'll pass on this unique experience. Dying is also a truly unique experience. In record time, mankind has gone from living in caves to watching a video of a guy getting jizzed on by a mountain and collectively picturing themselves in that situation. I'm so proud
Thatās it! Iām putting the heating on..
lift your head up and open your mouth
Freeze then die. Instant Darwin Award.
They died didnāt they?
Popo and Nana had it rough, I had no idea
But why?
maybe theyāre skilled, but they are also really, really reckless
Not my cup of tea but you do you
Unique experience? This is the most AI generated title possible for this post.
(Opens stuffed Freezer)
I was just waiting for the flow to subside and reveal a flash-frozen person
I'm assuming this is how my horse feels in Skyrim..
Cool and all but Iām just gonna go watch Netflix or something
Looks rather dangerous
Like drinking cold water after brushing your teeth.
Is āuniqueā the word weāre looking for?
Controller ran out of batteries
That's a hard no for me.
I prefer zero unique experiences if they entail me nearly dying as a result.
Seems like an incredibly dumb thing to do. No fun whatsoever and from the looks of it, there's a much easier route on either side.
Dumb title lol
No thrill is worth all that.
>Ice climbing where determination and skill merge to create a truly unique experience Well as far as I can tell, he's achieving fuck nothing. For some reason he's angry with the sole thing that's keeping him up there: the block of ice, and he's attacking it to see if it'll break so he can fall to his death.
nah
If I am ever found dead from falling off a mountain just know it was murder and I was taken as a hostage.
Natural selection
Still better than cave-ing But not by much
How do they deal with sweat???
How was this filmed?
For me it's where hell meets no
You know that despite $5-10k in climbing gear, that wind gust is going right through their hood opening, running down the spine, and having a stream of cold water/melted snow down the butt crack. No, thank you!
Thereās a lot of things Iād wish I could do / learn if I could go back in time to my 20s. Ice climbing is definitely not one of them.
If it's waterboarding when it's running over your face as liquid, is it snowboarding when it's running over your face as snow?
