Congrats and well done! A special mountain indeed, and you don't see too many parties make the full traverse to the true summit. Looks like you had good conditions on the ridge for that though.
@scott.e.wiseman7 ай бұрын
We left early enough to make the traverse. I also realized not many documented the traverse with a hero cam, so I took it on to challenge myself to do it. It was a little freaky to be on such a narrow traverse with only one hand on the ice ax, but the footage was worth it!

NIce vid! I climbed Pisco and Yannapacha last summer and hope to come back for the "bigger" stuff next time - this was great inspiration :)

Solid film Scott and great footage! I've had Alpamayo on the list since my first climbing trip in Peru back in 2019 and told myself I'd return once I satisfied myself I had enough experience to attempt the beast. 5 years on am I ready. Cheers for the motivation, look forward to the next climb!

I just got astonished when you filmed in left hand with the cam and then took care of those last steps with another hand on to ice. the last sentences got tears. Thanks for sharing this awesome memory. Wish you more climbing.

Shortly after this video was filmed, I had Edgar as my guide on Huarapasca before going to Alpamayo. Edgar made a mistake in the abseil on the descent that caused us to fall and left me with life changing injuries, while I understand that thankfully he was able to fully recover from his. He has since been fired as a guide. This is not a knock on andeam raju expeditions as they could not have reacted better to the accident. To be crystal clear i would use them again, but please please be sure to never use Edgar again. We were both lucky to not have lost our lives.

Sorry I never responded. I just wasn’t sure what to say. I didn’t perceive Edgar putting me at any risk beyond what I normally accept when climbing a technical mountain like Alpamayo. That being said, no human being is exempt from making mistakes, and it is extremely unfortunate what happened on Huarapasca. I hope you are able to manage your injuries in the best way possible.

Great video, that drone shot at 14:26 shows some were walking on top of the cornice.. yikes!
@scott.e.wiseman9 ай бұрын
😅😂. Yeah, it’s good that we don’t watch the drone footage until after the climb down. That’s the same serac that blocks us from doing the French Direct Route, because we are concerned with it falling on down from above. Yet… we go stand on top of it! 🤷♂️😅 But what’s alpine climbing without a little spice?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. There will be an eventual vlog on Artesonraju, even though we turned around shy of the summit due to unsafe snow conditions, but it was still an amazing experience.

Well Done Scott...I have been looking at Cotopaxi but looks like it may stay closed for the upcoming Climbing Season, so Mera Peak has my attention at this time. Beautiful Vlog and Congrats on your Summit. I did Aconcagua Dec 2022. Have you looked at that Climb?? I will enjoy following you Scott. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Park City.
@scott.e.wiseman10 ай бұрын
Hello! Thanks for your comments. Yeah, Cotopaxi being an active volcano has been closed to climbing on more than one occasion. I was fortunate to summit Cotopaxi in December of 2020 in perfect conditions. If you still decide on Ecuador, Cayambe is another beautiful objects, as well as Chimborazo (although it has gotten more dangerous due to instable snow and rock). I have thought about Aconcagua many times, but its during our winter when I'm very busy as a ski instructor! So, I have yet to do it or commit to doing it. Stay tuned on my channel, as I will be putting out a new video on Alpamayo Sunday morning.

What a great video! Thanks for sharing your journey ! Loved how you congratulated all the Sherpas on the summit . On average , how heavy was your backpack and what kind of training did you do leading up to your expedition? Thanks again and we’ll done !
@scott.e.wiseman11 ай бұрын
Sherpas deserve all the praise they receive and then some. They are people of extraordinary strength and resilience. They are the only reason these Himalayan peaks are accessible. With the porter help, I would carry around 30-40 lbs per day and not the amount I would carry if I were specifically backpacking. We went from one established camp to another, so a lot of camping gear and extra food was not necessary to bring. The best way to train is to walk and hike and come as close as you can to replicating the feeling of hiking up and downhill with added weight.
