Damn bro, don't die
Don't plan to
Yea I don’t think it's that good for you
@@NoahKane Nobody does, my friend. I'm sure you're well aware of the risks though, may you never fall!
@@NoahKane well put it in the plans cus brother I got news! we all do.
I second that opinion!
To be honest i was more worried about the descent because that's clearly something you had practiced less. This was incredible
Was pissed he didnt show that
he didnt take the same path down. you take a much easier path back than up.
By using a rope?
Looks like he descends on another tree to avoid the strenuous layback - sensible move!
@@edwardjons8684ukraine?? 🤢 🤮
Having the confidence to pull off those last moves is incredible man. I can tell you have worked so hard to make this a reality. Congrats man, unbelievably awesome to have so much confidence in your abilities and just send it!
Thanks for watching dude!!
😅
Being a kid was such a free experience even in the worst of times. Recreating that feeling as an adult after a lifetime of programming is a beautiful thing.
Yeah free humanity/palestine

@@des9200 you nincompoop i was talking about the tree climbing video and the original comment learn to read
@des9200 it was totally not relevant
Hey Noah, hope you are well. I respect your decisions to do this solo but to add in to all the other comments here - I climbed hard like you but had a 100ft ground fall last summer and broke 26 bones, had a helivac, 1 month hospital, 2 months wheelchair, I thought I was going to die while waiting for rescue. Just food for thought. I never thought it would happen to me.
100ft fall and you are still alive, and just two months of wheelchair... you are a hero! 🌟 thanks for sharing, we never think it will happen to us until it does. The risk is huge :)
You fell 100ft and SURVIVED?! This is a miracle!! A relative of mine fell 30ft and died pretty much on the spot..
damn boi
Free soloing has always and will always be an aspect of climbing. They are irrevocably linked by climbing's history. What many do not understand about soloing is that the climbers are not doing it just for the attention it garners, but as an expression of supreme confidence in one's climbing ability at a certain level or on a particular climb. Most solo-ists would do these climbs for themselves whether there were cameras or not, as it comes with an amazing feeling of self confidence and accomplishment. That said, it is important to educate new climbers about the risks of soloing and give them details about what it takes to even attempt such a thing so that people who are not prepared do not endanger themselves.
If you think about it, every climb was a free solo before a certain time period
Lol fancy way of describing stupidity. That's almost akin to driving without a seatbelt or ignoring soeed limits due to supreme confidence in one's own abilities. At the end of the day, it's a cheap way to get more thrill and views due to the potential loss of life. Sad how little we value life nowadays
@@BuffPomskyit's only stupid to you. These people have different priorities, and different skills. Death means less to them because they're not afraid of it. But of course, you are incapable of fathoming that because you are a pathetic, simple animal.
@SpiritsofSouls It has nothing to do with not valuing life. I’ve done a couple free solos, and I can assure you I value my life very much. I didn’t film it, or even tell most people I know about it. It was purely for me, and they are experiences I value dearly.
@@BuffPomskywhat are you talking g about? Lol
This is the rawest video i ever seen in my entire life, your resolve and will power is eternally respected, for real
Haha cheers dude! thanks for watching
go watch adam ondra climb silence
I almost got a little emotional watching you send the end of that route, that was incredible, great work, its been beyond cool to see you progress through your videos over the years but the tree climbing you do has always really fascinated me, I feel like this is somewhat of a Magnum Opus and testament to how far you all have gone with this style of climbing, keep at it this is inspiring (:
Thanks for watching!! and for the kind words
I wanted to see the full downclimb. To me as a free climber that is the most interesting part. I weigh if i'll be able to downclimb before climbing in general, so to skip the pumpy crag bit on the downclimb is so frustrating. If you Noah Kane read this, gimme a quick explainer as to why the cut of the footage and also how was it? Did you go a different safe route? Did you shimmy down the crack? I need to know!!!!
Second this. If possible Noah, post a short of the downclimb, us climbers would be interested! Since its a tree I was wondering about the downclimb on every nearly every move of the climb upwards. Awesome climb and video though.
Third this! How'd he get down?!
??????
based on the limited clips at the end that showed the descent, it kind of looks like he came down on a different tree?? but i would also be so interested in the footage of that or at least a quick explanation because it was also on my mind for the entire video!
He didn't record it because he didn't want you to see it period.
I've been following you since Climbing Giants and this has to be one of your best videos yet! Both in film making and in climbing!! You had me glued to the screen the whole time. Really an amazing work. You are your friends are pioneering a whole new type of climbing and it's great that you are sharing it. Thanks and keep up the great work 💪🏼
Could not agree more best video yet
Thanks for the kind words!
This should not be "a new type of climbing", no one should be encouraging other people to go into some of the few pockets we have left of ecosystems like this and doing this, you cant treat these trees like a rock face, they are too ecologically important and way more sensitive to human use.
nah@@Mormanizer
16:02 Almost got a heart attack
what a beautiful old tree
wow, I had sweaty palms the whole time. I can imagine though that once you have the climb dialled and you breath and focus you must enter some other state of mind, especially with the sound of the trees in the wind, your mind just shuts off and your body carries you.
this is so awesome! Sometimes while climbing I will imagine not having a rope, and it scares the shit out of me every time without fail. You just free soloing your hardest treeclimb like that is incredible to me.
Wow, genuine goosebumps watching this. And I'm clapping and repeatedly yelling "amazing!" in my room at 1 am watching the end where you sent it. Powerful stuff man, thank you so much for sharing.
Remember kids, never solo climb without first opening all the chakras in meditation and entering the avatar state.
lmao
but then the fire nation attacked
Man such a banger video. there really is no feeling like looking out over the open air and embracing the fact that youre there, on the rock or in the trees, like a bird in the sky. Its probably how flying feels. Great stuff man
Thanks for watching!!
What a beautiful moment, it's like the ultimate personal moment to be so vulnerable especially with that epic final sequence. Really cool to watch
This dudes understanding and passion for climbing and the spiritual impact of it all is astounding. Hell yeah dude, I love his energy
Awesome climb, you've really come a long way in your climbing ability. You are right, this is tree climbing in its purest form, much respect.
Cheers!
Awesome! Thank you for the journey!
This is the first video I’ve ever immediately subscribed and liked as soon as I clicked on it. I’ve seen him before but this “tree solo” struck a nerve with me. Good job my friend.
I could feel how accomplished you felt sending that. What a great video!
Amazing!! Wonderful work man and congratulations!!
Appreciate it!
This was incredible! I salute you, that must have felt like something else, well done 💛
The one arm hang at the end is heinous 🤯 Such a beautiful climb and really glad the send was only the sounds of the moment and not music/narrating. Very visceral and why I love climbing.
truly impressive! good job
I was waiting for the leap of faith. Awesome job man. Assassin level skills
This was amazing to watch. Congrats on the climb and the amazing video
I was planning to skip to the no-ropes part of the video, but so glad I didn't. Needs the ropey part to make the full story. Thanks for sharing these awesome, intimate moments with us.
Absolutely incredible feat, and breathtaking to behold 🙌. These trees are beautiful.
👏 That’s great! Climbed trees as a kid, climbed bounders growing up; I honestly never thought to but the two together.
That’s insane 😮 good job bro
After discovering Leo Urban and Tarzan Movement and getting into climbing trees myself (started bouldering about 2 years ago) im just fully in love with this piece of Art right here. Cinematography is just as on point as your climbing an commitment is and it really is just beautiful to whiteness. I busted out having a laugh of joy as soon as you reached the top out and I felt it genuinely in me, just like I genuinely felt the way you must've been feeling when I first stood in the Top branches of 9-10m high crown of a tree. And I really appreciate the way you look at things, generally. I enjoyed this very much, thank you for that :)
I was going to ask, as someone who knows very little about climbing, aside from watching Magnus Midtbo, is Leo considered the absolute pinnacle when it comes to tree climbing? I assume he is. I didn't realise other people climbed trees like this, to be honest. It's seriously impressive.
I honestly don't know if there even is a bigger tree-climbing community of some sort. But if there is I consider myself part of it and for me personally, Leo definitely is the Alex Honnold of tree-soloing. Greetings from Germany my guy @@thitherword
Amazing job Noah, great film and climb!
Thanks Sam!
Stay lucky bro, wish you the best!
amazing man, it gave me goose bumps
hella jealous, love climbing trees and spotting good trees to climb.
You're nuts man. I love it!
Such an amazing tree to inspire such an amazing climb! Unforgettable video!
Thanks for watching!
The glee and joy at the top made me want to cry! I did sniffle a little!
This was awesome to watch
absolutely beautiful, congratulations to a pure and meaningful ascent
Thanks for watching man!
what an achievment! true courage is doing it even while sared. You captured that experience perfectly.
thank you for watching!
Well done great stuff
Dude, this is so damn gnarly. Huge congrats on your climbing and filming successes!
Thanks Carter!!
LEGEND way to push through that fear and see it happen🙌🏽
Until the end, I didn't realise I was holding my breath through that last stretch Great job :) I could never do this
Some TRS here! I will share!!! Stoked. Thanks for the beautiful video.
This makes me find even more impressive how good monkeys are on climbing trees. People look so weak and clumsy compared to them. Amazing how it is easy for them.
what a inspiration after watching so many free solo rock climbings now seeing a free solo tree climbing its insane.
Sick video man!
I used to climb trees all the time when I was a kid but I’m more drawn to _descending_ rather than ascending nowadays. I’m drawn to the idea of climbing into deep dark caves 💚 lovely video thank you 😊
Hooking onto "Glory Jugs" has always been a favorite of mine.
Congratulations Noah, Truly epic.
Thanks Chandler!!
Amazing and scary well done!
it must be so scary going up but when you finally get there it must be so serene because there are no ropes or equipment holding you down, just you and nature.
That pov was crazy I hope this video gets more recognition
Beautiful line 👊🏼
congrats bro, absolutely insane.
this was an intimate moment of focus flow and determination that gives us a look unto the fears and growth into maturity that lends a moment of flow strength and core love for nature that drives motivates and pushes the limits of humanity, after I watched this I had thoughts about this is why you tube exist to lend us a fleeting glimpse into those moments that otherwise we would not witness,, keep climbing keep pushing thanks for the content as I feel we all have that tree that mountain, that moment we say in our head this is scary, what if ,how can I achieve this, sometimes its more then a boy and a tree it is that sacred naked moment between you and the elemental the forest and the singular aspect of the naked climb, gratitude for the sharing
I used to free climb pine trees as a kid, when I was 8 years old I was climbing some kind of tree can’t tell you the exact name. I ended up putting to much trust in a branch that was dead, ended up falling about 25ft and snapping my arm in 3 places and shattered my elbow. I’m terrified of heights now I wish I still loved them like you do.
That vignette from the moisture on the GoPro adds to the perspective, it must have been very humid. Extra pressure of filming PoV when soloing too. Well done.
Sick send mate, you did it with elegance.
What a beautiful climb. Congrats on surviving ❤
Thanks!
Wow, it was amazing! I would never dare to do something like this, but I am very impressed. Ok, maybe I'll try tomorrow :) Congratulations!
Thanks!! Just be safe out there!
Incredible structures in that tree!
Possibly one of the coolest bits of climbing I've seen in a while
Beautiful!❤
This was incredible man, the only thing the video was missing was a little after thoughts, maybe any parts you had second thoughts? Either way congratz brotha that was something else.
The self discipline and mental awareness needed in climbing hold a big attraction for me. In a life where we rarely test ourselves or push ourselves away from our confort zones; i think its needed to attain a certain balance? Id love to try it out. (I hate heights. Not a great start)
Congrats on the rugne sponsorship!
Phenomenal man. Next thing you climb show the descent too please! Stay safe 🤘🏻
It's one thing to climb its another to get down, man this is impressive
Bro is the real life Tarzan
That's a beautiful tree, a climb of a lifetime. There aren't many trees like that left, most of the big ones were floated down rivers and turned into house fires.. I free climbed trees professionally from the age of ten to thirty four, my last professional climb was the winter of 2014. We had an acceptionally damaging ice storm and I ended up getting hung like Odin in the top of a live oak while performing some reparative pruning. If it weren't for a sprout that I had hooked my toe under I would have taken a header into the sidewalk. I can't think of anything better than spending time in the treetops. Climb on man and be sure to maintain at least one point of contact..
the tree is crazy beautiful, and you extreme !!
I just have to say…. That is one of the most beautiful trees I’ve ever seen in my life!
would love to see the full unedited descent video also. this was absolutely amazing. holy cow 1 million views ppl lets go
Well done!
Difficulty and the beautiful serene setting. 🤯
So awesome, I love hiegjts so I might give climbing a super tall tree a go sometime
Wow. As a guy that works in the tree care industry, im blown away.
I knew a guy who fell out of a tree when he was 14 years old. Spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
what a beautiful and interesting tree!
wooow! That was incredible dude
Thanks!!
4:18 purple biner is crossloaded, probably loop is not long enough whats danger here is that here this biner works like 2-point anchor, being pulled from two sides by static loop on two weakest points of biner which is gate end and gate rotation point probably unlikely to breake, but this is already a little sketchy placement
This was amazing, Noah!😍 Enjoyed every bit of it!
Thanks!!!
Dude respect 🔥
my palms are sweating would love to see the full footage of the climb down!
Respect ❤️
This was my dream as a kid to climb all trees you my freind have kept that dream alive ✌🏽💪🏽
Midtbø will be proud of you bro. Rungne is really a fast growing company now.
There’s definitely a method to your madness. I like it.
Next level tree climbing!
Bro why do have so much confidence to do that your amazing i would never do that
Dude I wanted to see how you got down. Crazy vid man
What an amazing tree!
the wind in the trees is such a vibe
wow, you are a really talented photograph! Amazing video!
Thanks Kristian!
