Same here, I agree Ben, this just showed up in my feed because of other mountain channels I follow and glad it did!

Great adventure! If you have more footage, I'd encourage you to consider making a longer film. You are a good story telling and a 26 day trip must yield a lot to share.

Thank you.

Nice work man, like the dedication. That's dope. I'd like to put that peak on the list.

Sick mission Ryan!!!

Wow just wow

Massiv respect to your achivement, especially with the info at the end that you couldn't ski a short while ago. Probably you had to learn about all the backcountry knowledge that comes with it also. Very inspiring.

Looks great!

Watched this a few times now and you are a bloody inspiration!

Amazing adventure! So good to watch this kind of wilderness! :-)

New subscriber here mate ! Give us Aussies a break ;) although we all appreciate the across ditch Tasman rivalry. Great shots and filming. Looking forward to more

Awesome video, makes my route from Zermatt to Cham look Mickey Mouse!! You nailed it!! The journey rather than the objective, “the way is the goal” as my guide and good friend from Zermatt said, I will never forget it. Thanks for sharing 👍

Cheers Adam! Yeah that’s the story, makes the hard work feel easy somehow

Wow, an amazing adventure. I’ve skied sections of that (Haute Route, Silvretta), but can’t imagine pushing out all that in one big go! An amazing achievement (not to mention what must be a supremely organised logistical challenge, which you barely mention!!).

suuch high quality content, thank u for sharing & keep going :))

What a mission! I can't remember the name of the peak, but I climbed in Leogang and at the summit was a small solar powered fridge with ice cold beers! Certainly did not expect to find that at the top of a mountain 😀

Congratulations to your trip. Great achievement. From Ischgl you could actually continue following the east trending main range of the Alps from hut to hut without the need to hit the valleys until close to Vienna. Another month or so…

@@ryancolley4878 ​ @Ryan Colley not really good skiing in the southern areas. I am originally from Northern Italy, I am familiar with the area, this southern route would leave you entirely in the Southern Alps which consist entirely of carbonate and as such has poor ski runs with steep precipices and lots of vegetation up to the precipices / rock walls. Staying atop the central main range of the Eastern Alps, entirely in Austria or at the Austrian and Italian border in the initial part, would have the advantage of really outstanding ski runs (large meadows covered in snow or glaciers) and you would stumble once in a while on skiing resorts which you could use to descend into the valley, resupply and use the same facility to get up to your route again.Mid March to mid April would be the best time to do that.

That was a serious suffer fest. I can backcountry ski and I can backpack but sadly at this point of my life I can’t do both at the same time. My massive pack load days are over. Great adventure, thanks for sharing

I want to plan a 10 day trip like this with friends looks like a blast just don’t know where to start.

Awesome journey Ryan! And great film making too. Just out of curiosity do you have a gps log of the journey? Or a mapped out route including huts? Would love to stick this on the bucket list!

you should have kept going all the way to Vienna :)

Hello, really great adventure you had! But I was wondering: Isn't there crevasses? Can you tell if they are there, or did you know the areas were safe? Or did you just take a "chance"? I don't know how common crevasses are would love to hear. Cheers!

Hey man. In winter you can be pretty confident they are filled in. As long as you stay away from obvious crevasse fields it’s an acceptable risk

@@ryancolley4878 Oh cool, thanks! Are they more frequent around glaciers? I've never seen crevasses in Norway or Sweden, but was warned in Austria regarding them.

Amazing adventure, how did yoi prepare for avalanches while skiing alone? Lots of bulletin checks I bet? What else? Is it really possible to do alpine skitouring solo?
