Thanks all. To add some context to this episode, I felt like it was necessary to wrap up the series because there will be more in the future. Both in terms of attempting the last four as well as...
What is with the headlines in the last 24 hours. Sheesh. Just clickbait central.
Shit. You're right. I'll see myself out.
From an inside industry perspective, I guaran-fucking-tee Norrona did not "drop" Nikolai. Norrona is known throughout the industry for not paying too much to athletes. Black Crows while very...
Well there is going to be an announcement related to this series soon. In a delayed but upcoming episode. Alongside that, I’ll let ya know that some sort of series will be coming in the future that...
I go on recommended line for MTN binding. It’s pretty rare I don’t fiddle with mount point but it’s a great position for this ski.
Yup, just spray painted white to not be super obnoxious.
Oh and one more episode left...just a delay on timing.
Didn’t even check in but I guarantee it’s not having kids and killing yourself…that’s the best way to reduce your impact. Which when you follow all paths of personal reduction it always goes to those...
I generally do too, mainly because they're always emotionally driven and related to a feeling of 'luxury'. No one is yelling at the plumber that works in SF because it pays the most but lives in...
So I crunched the numbers, because quite often emotion is tied far more to perception than reality in these discussions. Trust me when I know how it looks rough to be on such a big plane with only 6...
Because on a single strand rap—because of the Escaper use—any normal ATC won’t have the friction to safely rap on. So you go to a munter in those situations
For the guide question, Andy stuck around camp as we hired him for the entirety of the trip. A lot of trips aren't guided by locals, and even so much as outside guides are coming in hired by clients...
It gets monetized by data, ingenuity and value. I'll leave it at that. I could arguably have started off with a better business plan for the project, but ultimately it was such different concept,...
As far as the charter flights, well they weren’t jets so didn’t get in the six figure range…but the trip was on the six figure range in total and the flights could’ve been exchanged for a nice new...
We weren't swapping, they just happened to both be white packs. Viv was in his modded out MH pack and me in the crux with and without the lid depending on the line.
Well thank you all for the positive words on the film and especially the WM comparison on the narration. Funny enough, I’ve always felt like I sucked at narration as it’s very very hard and have felt...
I didn’t think it was on mine either…but alas, there we were.
Thanks mang. Much appreciated.
Problem is if you use copyrighted material then YT automatically puts ads on your video and pays royalties to copyright holder. So no option to keep ads off your videos that way.
Unfortunately I do have to pass that terrain. That’s the “job” aspect of my job. A compromise I’m happy to make cause it’s a rad job that allows me to do really fun stuff, chase dreams and provide...
I've been thinking of doing a video podcast style revisit to old episodes. To talk through them a bit more, give more insight to what was going on in the episode, or that moment, or whatever...I just...
Nailed it. I saw that weather window in March but was in Switzerland with the fam shooting for Here, Hold My Kid. So even then with trying to balance The FIFTY with family life, it would've been a...
Going live online on November 15th. Next episode up on the 25th of October.
Yeah, the top-down approach has it's benefits but it also has it's own specific dangers. Pretty much everyone I talked to that had been up there had told me the anchor building was quite brutal....
So in regards to Nick, the thing is, we totally could've done it that day and I'd say 99/100 times in those conditions, at that time, with the gear we had, we would have been absolutely fine. So Nick...
Exactly. Hence why I go with Nick so often. He's always keen to give'r but can turn around with no fuss, ego or antagonism. Just a great mountain partner that I'll keep going into the mountains with...
I just looked at the first episode on Superior and noticed it was 7 minutes long. Beyond the experiences out in the mountains, I think one of my favorite things about this project has been how much...
I mean I too hope I can do longer episodes as it definitely presents far more of an opportunity and challenge as a storyteller. But at the same time, in order to keep a feature length episode...
As of right now, it will be showing at a few film festivals like High Fives, IF3 and has been submitted for a bunch of other festivals like Banff, Mountain Film, etc... But for online release, most...
I definitely am happy to have my own milf. And one that rips and makes funny ski movies. I am biased of course, but this movie is really good. I think it's going to stand out for parents as much as...
I’m trying to find that log too. I have some leads but it’s gonna be hard to track down.
Claus wasn’t Mountain flying this spring. Had his Otter down for FAA air worthiness upgrades and is...
BFD, actually interviewed Mike Ivers son Wayne Ivers so heard a bit about that attempt. So many stories from people that have been in storms on that mountain have told me they’d never go back. It’s...
We nailed not even stepping foot on the mountain. Just a horrendous weather year in AK. Amid some other very complex logistical problems, couldn't even give it a try. But...gonna keep trying.
I'll clear up any speculation: Just got back from Baffin with Vivian and Bjarne....along with Brennan Lagasse and Jeff Dostie and a client, who were sharing camp and logistics but skiing separately...
Ain't no race from me. In fact, if I was on top of the last line together with Noah or Wirth, I'd make drop last. Finishing or racing to get them all done has very little importance to me. Maybe...
Must have just missed us then. We were probably the car you saw at the RL TH too. It was a hell of a drive getting there but luckily had the ole lady's Bronco. That truck is insane at wheeling.
See any tracks?
Only on very long slogs with little hazard do I pop in one earbud (never two)...well, often on training tours, runs, rides, etc. too. Most of the time it is downloaded podcasts. But when I need some...
I just like that here, the talk is centered around controversial whiskey pours. On YouTube it's people all pissed off that I dare mention things like these lines changing and glacier receding. It...
That was done in 2019 with JJ
Yeah so there is this book, it’s called. “The Fifty Classi….”
More like developing my own solar panel.
There is a reason I always wear a hat FYI
It will not be done by the end of the year, that’s for sure. The main problem is so many of the crux lines overlap on timing. With the need to spend a lot of time on the cruxes, I can’t go in...
Yeah a day or two before...not quite sure though as we drove back to the coast between when we shot with Doug and skied the line.
He said it directly to me multiple times correctly and yet, I still can't fucking pronounce it. It's like a brain block for me. Such a great guy and total fucking legend.
No no no, you have to start with your feet in the ocean, buck naked and walk to the summit from the ocean while avoiding even seeing a single person, a single human or animal track, plane flying...
To answer most of the questions in here.
1. If we had a rock rack with pitons and lead rope we may have tried to pass through. But it was also rock that was that super slick glacier polish granite...
Multi-days through incredible wilderness, yes. Not going to be something I seek out regularly, but I do understand the appeal now. Single day traverses, still a hard no.
