Cool filmed and aweseome journey, but please for the unexperienced people dont see this as a trailer that you want to do it this on this way, get a guide, book the huts, no hand made "inventions", this is wy the Mont Blanc is so dangerous it gets to many tourists, eating ice for water come on.

Doesn’t look like there was much beta done by uncle Gerry - arrived late first day, didn’t research camping at tete rousse etc. Imo it is foolish not inspirational to be unprepared.

Great film, however i think that the whole trip was super irresponsible and people really shouldnt do stuff like that. Without the permits, the experience or the skills and even basic knowledge about the region/ situation etc. you are just threatening the life of yourself and if something happens the life of others. Dont take this as an example of how to go out mountaineering!!

Nice storytelling, especially under those conditions. However, probably one of the most irresponsible climbs that I have seen here. You guys are really lucky about the outcome. Please book a guide, check the weather forecast and be way more prepared. Problem is that in case of problems up there, huge risks will undertaken by the gendarmerie to attempt in rescuing you. Happy you guys are alive. Peace.

Ich verstehe voll, dass ihr das Abenteuer sucht und auch das Video ist super gestaltet. Aber ich finde es sehr schade, wie wenig Ihr über das Risiko und Regeln reflektiert. Ich habe viele Leute in meinem nahem Umfeld, die als Bergretter arbeiten. Alle berichten, dass die Einsätze wegen Unwissenheit und Selbstüberschätzung zunehmen. Es ist immer cool und ne tolle Erfahrung, wenn nichts passiert. Aber so wie ihr unterwegs wart, hätte das mit großer auch alles ganz anders ausgehen können. Wär cool, wenn ihr Euch die Zeit nehmt da mal wirklich drüber nach zu denken.

Alpinistisch gesehen ein riskantes bis unverantwortliches Unternehmen, unendlich viel Glück gehabt. Es bleibt nur die dringende Bitte sowas nicht nachzuahmen, denn wenn es schief geht, müssen andere den Kopf dafür hinhalten.

Absolutely unbelievable that you would take a group of inexperienced young adults up a mountain like Mont Blanc unroped for a large period of travel over crevassed terrain. You were very, very lucky and all I can say is that anyone watching this video please do not except this as the norm but as a very serious "roll of the dice". Life is all about taking risks and having fun but those risks need to be mitigated with basic winter skills when walking in the high mountains. There is a reason that guides on Mont Blanc are only permitted to take 2 clients at a time. Glad you made it and the video is beautifully done but your Uncle really has been incredibly irresponsible ! Did any of you even have the faintest idea on what to do if any of you had fallen into one of the many crevasses that criss-cross the route ?

Good storytelling, love the spoken German, proper information on what you did and how, and added value anytime something was shared about Month Blanc 20 years ago. Everyone seems authentic. I do wonder however how the group would have fared if something unexpected had happened, e.g. a sudden and prolonged thunderstorm at the worst possible moment.

This is a very good documentary. But go back and pick up your crampons that broke and get them off the mountain.

The cinematograoghy is undeniably great. However, these sort of reckless adventures are precicely what makes the Mont Blanc one of the deadliest mountains in the world. The quote at the end is absolutely ridiculous given the circumstances. Please dont ever do something like this again, it is pointless risking of your and the mountain rescues lives. It seemed to me that your group went up there at times unprepared at best and dangerously reckless at worst. I have no idea how your uncle could have ever agreed to this expedition seeing the level of preperation you guys had. He was also apparently basing his guidance on his experience from over 20 years ago on the mountain?? Im glad no real accident occured on this tour but this was, sorry, just plain stupid. I guess theres already enough people in the comments who said so but to anybody watching this: Do not take this as inspiration to approach high altitude mountaineering like this. I get the thrill of mountain expeditions but it really doesnt have to be the highest peak all the time. And if you truly aspire to go for something like this, at LEAST know where the fuck youre going and what youre getting yourself into. You guys didnt acclimatize, didnt properly combat dehydration, checked neither the rules of the mountain nor the sleeping oppurtunities nor with any guide wether or not youre cut out for this, ridiculous amounts of baggage, essentially no glacier or mountain experience from almost all group members and not even apparently the need to start your tours early enough, for gods sake, you arrived at your first camp during NIGHT. This entire film is a step by step guide on precicely what not to do when attempting a similarely challenging summit. Dont take this the wrong way, this was a stunning documentary, but never EVER do something like this again. Countless people have died already by being slighly less fortunate than you on trips like these and it seems more and more idiots each year are trying to accomplish something in their lives just because it would be cool or whatever. This was frusttrating to watch honestly.

"Es ist leichter, ein guter Bergsteiger zu werden, als ein alter..." Nicht nachmachen!

Probably the most irresponsible expedition ive ever witnessed to be honest. You're lucky to be alive and should have received a permanent ban, not just 2 years.

You lot are lucky something bad didn’t happen. Certainly not respecting the rules up there

Great video!

Love it👌

Lovely!

Very cool documentary. Great editing and great secnery. Watch out about roping up in big teams of inexperienced people though

Wow! Extrem beeindruckend - Die Tour und die künstlerische Dokumentation!

Not booking hut's & or having a pass is how people pass away doing such a easy climb. You really should be preaching to people to climb the correct way, not like this.

Geweldig

Sehr sehr SEHR GEIL!❤

grandios! Man fühlt richtig mit...... und auch richtig schöne Fotos!

really nice docu!

Ein super Video! Daumen ist da!

Well, I mean, congratulations, but that approach is exactly why so many people die on that mountain.

This is awesome. What camera do you use for the still images if you don’t mind me asking?

I like the girl always looked like nothing bother her there - the strongest climber in the team. Every day she looks fresh and beautiful.

Ohne Worte.. unverantwortlich. Wenn es gut gegangen ist heißt es nicht das man alles richtig gemacht hat. Kein gutes Vorbild..

I'm trying to find when you did this ascension. was it July or August ?

wowww! nein ehrlich respekt. megaaaa!

Sh*t man was geht den hier ab!! Hammer broo und was für ein geiles Erlebnis 🥶😍🔥👍

Any aspiring mountaineers who watch this video, please do not use this video as inspiration. People like this are exactly the reason why so many people have to be rescued off of Mont Blanc. There is nothing amazing about doing such a climb without preparation. The beautiful thing about mountaineering is putting a lot of effort into such a project and it paying off with a summit (or not).

thats so cool

This is dangerous. I see no preparation to avoid acute mountain sickness. Glad to see everyone came back, bur you should not have done that.

Keep it up there’s no such thing as grind only destiny 👍🙏

Nice video, but to me it looks like you did a pretty irresponsible undertaking

"The only thing that count, is that we made it." Very poor lesson in my opinion. Well you are not the only one approaching the mountain that way, but anyway, there is much more in your random trip than just touching a summit. For a start, the fact you broke the law should also count, as a lesson for a next summit attempt for example; or more obviously, it should make you think about it: why is it not authorized to put a tent there? The answer is obvious and it's pretty bad that you don't give it a second thought. On the project itself, well, you want to practice alpinism randomly, fine. But please, do not share that kind of experience. Do not encourage people to do it. If you care about people, you should delete this video, or redo it with a more appropriated message and some disclaimers.

Awesome , did you do any acclimatisation before starting this climb ?

Hey, wie heißt euer Kamera-Equipment?

Broo! You just dropped another sick video. This such a dope documentary. Keep going

This is a top video, I really enjoyed it. I absolutely want to do this tour one day! It is something special to sleep in tents, and carry all your supplies with you. Big Respect! I had a quick question, was uncle Gerry a IFMFGA Mountain Guide, or your leader/guide but without being a qualified mountain guide?

Hi there, I really enjoyed the video. Congrats for the achievement and also for the filming and editing.

Looks cold 🥶 but incredibly beautiful Phil the beacons at its best 🤠👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏔️ ATB Simon

video editing and story telling very well done. that being said, leaving your broken gear on the mountain, not acquiring necessary permits, and attemting this feat with zero experience are not acceptible. did you pick up your excrements? i wouldn't be surprised if you didn't

Awesome piece of filming and adventure. Thank you for sharing.

What is the name of the sunglasses in 14:42? Thanks a lot

This inspired me so much! Amazing job capturing this adventure!

Amazing video and quote at the end. Definitely inspires me to set higher goals than I already am. Thank you

Fantastic voyage; but you lot were extremely lucky to have gotten back down as well as you did. Thank your lucky stars!

I'm only halfway through, but I'm hooked! Great stuff, your uncle is a good storyteller. :)

Tolle Dokumentation 👏💪🤗 wie heißt der Titel des Songs am Schluss der Doku?

Beautiful story. Embodies adventure and achievement. But lack of planning, resources and risk assessment could have ruined your adventure. Failing to plan is planning to fail. And please in future....leave no trace! Remove your gear! Congratulations.

This is insanely good and absolutely beautiful! As always you did an amazing job and I’m proud of you❤️

wow! das ist ja mal ne richtig krasse erfahrung die du gemacht hast! sehr schöne zusammensetzung der clips. :D

This documentary is dope!!! 👏🏼🔥 You perfectly portrayed our struggles and victory in a cinematic way that manages to hold your breath and entertain you to the max!!

...don't be like uncle Gerry

To give some perspective, the record, from Les Houches ( no cheating and getting the train for the first bit), just under 7 hours…there and back.

Why is it illegal to bring your own tents and camp on your own? Or why is it illegal to left the tents duringnthe day? I dont quiet get what was the forbidden part for the mountain inspection… Could please someone explain? :)

I liked Picasso!!! 🙌😄

Crazy adventure man! Great storytelling, exciting till the end ngl!

tolles Abenteuer, tolles Video, aber zu leichtsinnig, trotz der offensichtlichen Erfahrung des Vaters. Ich würde meine Familie solch unnötigen Risiken nicht aussetzen und die Tour besser planen und vorbereiten. Zum Glück wurden die Gefahren ja nicht verharmlost, so dass sich jeder ein Bild machen kann. Glückwunsch für das tolle Erlebnis und den Gipfelerfolg. Ich wäre auch gern auf dm Mont Blanc gewesen, habe aber leider das Lebens-Zeitfenster verpasst

I've been preparing myself really hard for Matterhorn for almost 2 years. Thanks for sharing this, now I think I can do it more than ever

Warning to people who want to climb Mont Blanc for the first time: Everything is wrong in this video. Don't take any risks in the high mountains. If you don't have experience, go up with a mountain guide along the "normal" route.

Brilliant 👏, great film, and a wonderful story, thank you.

Ich finde das so frech, dass man nicht mal mehr auf einem Berg kostenlos in der Wildnis übernachten kann. Aber sehr sehr cooles Video, Respekt an euch alle!!! :)

Wunderschöne Dokumentation und wunderschön zu sehen, dass ihr diese Reise zusammen erleben konntet. Danke für diese Einblicke. Mit dem Zelten hatte ich mich allerdings auch gewundert, weil es ja wohl inzwischen strengstens verboten ist und bis zu 30.000€ Strafe kostet dort zu zelten.

I just didn`t move a single cm for the last 30 Minutes! What an advernture! I definetly have to try this one for myself

On ne remerciera jamais assez les secouristes du PGHM pour venir en aide (parfois au péril de leur propre vie) aux personnes qui se lancent dans cette aventure sans préparation, ni expérience et ni guide. Ce genre d'expérience ne devrait pas être encouragé, bien au contraire.

Please the ref of the caméras used !!

Bro! What an insane adventure! Hat down for going for it and the documentary is a really cool way to show how it felt. Great work :)

Absolutely amazing

What other stuff ? 😁

Dank dem Video weiß ich, dass ich das locker alleine schaffen kann. Danke für die Inspiration 🤙

mountains = the freedom for the soul and brain. RESPECT

Fantastic story, really well put together. What an achievement!

great documentary, i ve been dabbling with the idea of ascending mont blanc solo and this video has inspired me!

Hallo, zunächst einen schönen Dank für das Video. Wie ist es eigentlich mit den Bergpolizisten ausgegangen??? Möchte dieses Jahr auch nach oben ohne Übernachtung.

omg I can’t believe how gorgeous it turned out 😍😍😍 so proud of you ❤️

A lot of things have already been said. I really like your Style and „filmscript“ plus filming and editing skills. That is Great stuff! And besidesthe fearlessness the only positive thing about that movie - unfortunately. Maybe one time in your live you will be able to seriously reflect what you have been through during that Trip. And Promoting something that is illegal is a Bad thing to do. Why? Because There are good reasons why Camping is not allowed in such places - especially for unexperienced people. Money is just a Minor issue in that context.

daaamn😳🏔️🤝🏻

This is hands down one of the most irresponsible expeditions I’ve ever seen. The improper mitigation of risk could have killed those kids.

Great adventure. Waw, I am amazed. I was always thinking about this climb, but I am a bit discouraged of the permits , but I see when you brave, skilled and you take some risk , it can be possible. Thank you and wishing you more and more beautifull adventures.

Give all this guys a trophy 🏆, they deserve award for conquering mont blanc with some style. 😎⭐️

Das beste Video welches ich zum Mont Blanc gesehen habe. Möchte nächstes Jahr mit nem Kollegen hinaufgehen und ebenfalls in Zelten übernachten (Hütten sind schummeln). Aus welchem Grund macht die Bergwacht Auge wenn man Zelten möchte. Wie umgehe ich diese am besten? LG

Wieso ist eigentlich bei dem English gesprochenem ein Untertitel auf English?😂 versteht man doch einwandfrei, da hatte sich manch einer eher auf eine deutsche Übersetzung gefreut. Tolles Video was für Bilder

schön gemachtes video. alles top, aber sowas ohne erfahrung und training zu machen ist wahnsinn. ihr habt mehr glück als verstand gehabt. völlig verantwortungslos. sry.

Save up get a guide and get booked into a hut ,don’t climb this on a whim plan it.

Also da kann ich die Franzosen absolut nicht nachvollziehen! Da stellen sie Polizei auf 4000 Meter hin, um zu kontrollieren, ob die Bergsteiger da oben zelten. Was ist denn daran bitte so schlimm? Wenn es schon schlimm sein sollte, dann nur für die Leute, die sich dafür entschieden haben, da zu zelten! Also das ist mal wirklich Unsinn und kann einem echt den Spaß verderben! Habe das selbst auch mal in Frankreich erlebt, bei der Tour de France, da durfte man schon mehrere Stunden vor dem Rennen nicht mal mehr zu Fuß über die Straße gehen!
