I Attempted to Climb Europe’s Most DEADLY Mountain… Solo
2025 · 25 min · Alpine, Free Solo, Documentary
Magnus Midtbø films a solo alpine attempt on a peak he refers to in the video as “Europe’s most deadly mountain.” The edit (shot by Magnus, edited by Sam Tuck) follows a single-day push that mixes steep rock and exposed alpine ground; Magnus narrates route-finding choices, hitching a pack, and the pacing needed when there is no partner. The credits list Kate's Climbing Stories and Floyd Hayes in the intro. The value of the piece is its practical view of soloing rather than sensationalism: you see how an experienced climber assesses conditions, adapts movement on exposed terrain, and chooses when to continue or back off. For viewers interested in solo alpine travel and the on-the-ground decision making behind it, the film offers clear, unsparing footage and commentary rather than staged sequences.
