Solo Mountaineering Adventure - Climbing Mount Philistine

Ойын-сауық

Taking advantage of the great weather conditions I made my way out to Arthurs Pass in the early hours of the morning to climb Mount Philistine via Warnocks Bluffs.
It was a fantastic trip and I hope you enjoy the video!

    The limited snow gives this area a captivating appearance. It's quite moonsxape in many ways that it makes you look for a lunar module .. must be one somewhere you get there and back so fast my friend. Awesome camera work Zeb you've come a long way since you started. Sundays are THE day we look forward for. Thanks mate. Bushyboy Oz.

    A superb video, Zeb. I've climbed Philistine in summer and a little bit of snow. Nothing like what you did though as I don't have the best head for heights. Fantastic views at the top.

    Hey mate. Thanks heaps. I had planned on doing this trip with a mate but he bailed last minute. The avy risk was very low and snow conditions were good. I am comfortable on this terrain so I was happy to do it solo but I appreciate your concern. My next trip I will share is with mates 😊 Cheers!

    Top shelf gear you've got, BK! You use it well. I enjoy these technical hikes you've been posting, it's a different look for your channel. Anyway, carrying the ice axes instead of strapped to your pack has them quickly available if you encounter a Yeti. :) Great post and, cheers!

    "casual morning stroll" would also suited this tile with your current evolving content (humour)... awesome looking trip, what stunning day out indeed. Fascinating thinking back to the older content of wondering round the muddy kaimai ranges, cool seeing the progression.

    Shot for the climb. I've been hiking with heavy loads and have done a beginner's mountaineering course. Would this be OK to do or too technical cheers

    Thanks bro! The summit ridge? It was a bit of a knife edge in spots. I'll send you a photo.
