  • cannot believe this dude is climbing with NO ropes or basic mountain climb gear..... beyond brave / balls of steel
  • @Yamakento_2023
    Never have i thought I'll see someone wearing a formal shoe and climbing a thousand feet mountain, my respect to him.
  • @AkshayTeaches
    It was kinda unbelievable for me to see a foreign channel talking unbiased and authentic info about my place. Thank you for highlighting the hardwork and hardships of the people of Jammu & Kashmir Himalayas ❤️
  • @mathewdavis9484
    Mixed feelings of profound respect and terror: The only person in his village who dares to climb. No rope. Wears loafers.
  • Free solo climbers like Alex Hanold practice climbing a rock with ropes many times before free soloing. But this man just spots a steep rock with a deposit of shilajeet and starts climbing without any safety. Absolute legend.
  • @Mr.WasiHaider
    Huge respect for this guy who is risking his life to find this!!
  • @ravikhajuria8869

    Old boy is climbing the Himalayan mountains in granddad slippers, that's some of the most gangsta stuff I've ever seen.
  • @BoiDoggo
    3:03 using formal shoes to climb this man’s a legend 😮

    I remember going with my grandpa across the mountain, hiking high up until we reached the base of cliff. He had team from village too. I saw 5 to 6 uncle climbing up and up without any safety gear. I had no idea why they were struggling. At the end of the day they sat and divided the little amount. We called it shilajet too. We took it home and gave it to mom for her fractured leg.

    In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living....
  • @DaAssKicker68
    I really admire this man's resiliency and rock-climbing skills!
  • @DNGR369
    His wife is deathly scared when he leaves on a trip, and also deathly scared when he comes back...

  • @mr.anderson5077
    Somebody get this man a climbing gear and attire. Raise money and gift him. He climbing with his and family's soul in his hands... What a guy
  • That's the world's best climber. No special gear, shoes or ropes! Just pure thirst for viagra
  • @raumshen9298
    Once I free climbed descended and climbed an exposed rock face for about 15 feet (yeah a tiny distance!), there is nothing more meditative than knowing one wrong move and you will be dead, I am sure this man truly lives life in ways most others won't
