Simple advice from someone in his 50's. You are NOT what you do; not your job; not your hobbies. Don't let your identity get caught up in those. Those are simply things you do. Worry and work at who you are on the inside, your thoughts, insecurities, prides, etc. The places your mind goes when you are quiet are where you learn the most about yourself. Pay attention to that. Build up what you like. Work on changing what you don't. Your young body will become old but who you are inside will always be there.
this is so important. thank u for the reminder, truly.
You are what you do and what you are do matters we are our actions .
@@GPMD606 I disagree but you are absolutely free to think that. I do believe that what you do matters. I do believe that what you do reflects aspects of who you are. What you do can even influence who you are, so choose wisely what you do. But you existed before you started doing a thing, you will exist after you stop doing a thing and you can decide to do something else. You are not what you do.
Props to The North Face for sponsoring the climb. I've been using their gear since the early 1980's and it's saved my bacon in a lot of extreme conditions over the years. Good stuff.
You show how to face fear, and when you conquered it, you’re humbled by the experience. You can reach the peak, and yet you’re always well grounded. Nothing but love ❤ for you, Eva.
I bought a pair of those North Face slippers for men based on Eva's recommendation in this video. I'm glad I did. They are super comfy and warm. I almost forget I'm wearing them. I have chemo induced peripheral neuropathy as the result of a nearly a year of battling cancer. The neuropathy causes a severe sensitivity to cold resulting in tingling and numbness in my fingers and feet. I have tile floors in much of my house...so I was really needing some good slippers to insulate me from the cold tile and thus the neuropathy that comes with it. I had tried some other slippers but they were bulky and I had a hard time keeping them from falling off. These North Face slippers are great. So glad that Eva recommended them.
Congratulations on your incredible achievement of summiting the highest peak of Mexico! It takes immense determination, strength, and skill to accomplish such a feat, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself for reaching the summit.
Your accomplishment serves as an inspiration to many, and we are in awe of your passion for exploring and conquering new challenges. We believe that your dedication and perseverance will take you to even greater heights in the future, and we can't wait to see what other accomplishments you will achieve.
Once again, congratulations on this incredible accomplishment, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Congratulations, Eva. You're such a courageous person. Facing your fear. I salute you
OMG 😱! You have reminded me of when I climbed Mt. Shasta. I was 19 and was a summer intern timber cruiser working for the Mt. Shasta Ranger District, living in a US Forest Service cabin in the mountains west of the city of Mt. Shasta. On a weekend I drove to the parking lot at the base of Mt. Shasta’s peak. There were a couple of pretty girls lugging skies on the side of the road trying to hitch a ride on the road up but I didn’t stop because their skies would have scratched up the inside of my Camaro 😅! The drive took longer to get there than I expected, the sun was already just starting to set. I had NO IDEA 🤷🏻♂️what I was doing! I did have a puffer North Face down jacket I had for years that was very warm and I had a warm hat, I also wore some leather work gloves they were all I had. I looked at the trail signs that pointed to a trail that wondered off somewhere and looked up at the ridge that headed straight up almost to the peak so I went that way! That worked for the first couple hours of climbing, luckily Mt. Shasta is so much higher than all surrounding mountains the sun stayed up longer than usual at those hights, but then it started looking dangerous! I couldn’t see the peak so I wandered off into the East face that was a MASSIVE bolder field, the going through the boulders was difficult but it was a clear route to the top. It was arduous 😥 and boring because it took forever, I just kept going. My hands were very cold as the gloves had long since soaked through. Finally I wondered up to the top, it was 12:30 AM, there were various groups of young hikers at the top who had all sorts of equipment they were all pretty cranky they said it was a lot colder than expected. One guy was with a group that had set up camp in a secluded space in the boulders at the top and he was very visibly shivering freezing to death ☠️ warming his hands next to a tiny hiking stove. I was in a GOOD MOOD 😄 SMILING walking around talking to people. My hands were WARM I felt GOOD, a little lightheaded, I had the early stages of hypothermia and I knew it! I saw everything there was to see at the top and walked directly west over the snow, probably over the glacier at the top, and headed down the steep side covered with snow. I was taking huge many foot leaps through the snow down the face because it was steep so I could move a little faster that way. It seemed like it took forever but I finally got to the bottom and started looking for the parking lot, it was about 5:00 AM. I had not anticipated how difficult it would be to find my car, there were no lights in the area and it was pitch black! It took about 30 minutes to find my car, but I did, and drove back to the cabin. I rested up and I was fine, no frostbite everything fine. 😅
A few years a go I suffered what I thought was an anxiety attack. I was struggling with everything, I was feeling claustrophobic. even in large places like really big super markets if I couldn't see the door to the outside. I saw a councillor called Agnes , who advised me to read a book Called "Feel the Fear and do it anyway" written by Susan Jeffers. This helped with the massive adrenaline surges of fear. Anybody feeling worried and anxious should give it a read, it makes so much sense . My councillor Agnes was marvellous , talking to her and getting all my problems out in the open with her. She explained we all put our problems in a box not dealing with them. Pull yourself together , get on with it, we use all these excuses not to face a problem and deal with it. Then finally they come over the top and you just can't cope with them all. Every body gets scared but its how you face that fear that matters.
I will look for that book 👍
Very nicely captured and presented, as always! This really brings up many memories for me. I climbed Orizaba around 1985, and was asked to lead the climb, as our guide wasn't feeling well that day. It was about 5F and very windy. I ended up with frost-bitten feet and high-altitude pulmonary edema on the summit, and wondered if I'd lose my toes or be able to descend, but got my strength back quickly on the way down. Piedra Grande hut was infested with rats at that time, scurrying over our sleeping bags at night. I still have those old leather boots, strap-on crampons, and wooden ice axe hanging on my wall as art now :) Here's to many more adventures for both of us. Stay safe and make these lifelong memories!
In 1991 I did a similar climb up the volcano just south of Mexico City. It was 18000 ft. a little less than yours. Popocetipectal or something similar. I am strictly an armature going with a friend who climbs alot. One of the hardest things I've done. And proud of it. One step at a time. You go girl.
Popocatépetl, it's an active Vulcano (recently had a big blast) but that one is closed since around 2000's because people got injured climbing it (yes, because of a vulcanic explosion).
Eva… Well Done & Congratulations 👌🇲🇽🏔️🏆
Fears faced… & overcome 🙏
We, your fans are so very very proud of what you achieved here!
Your thoughts & feelings of the Wonderland Trail, must have weighted heavy on your mind, but that was no failure either, that was due to an unbeknown to You ‘illness’ at the time, the decision to do what you did, took more courage. Your body was screaming at you, a type of ‘self-preservation’ - that day, you took the right decision.
What this trip did, was restore, in your mind, what YOU are truly capable of…
Go & celebrate your success with your best mate… Vilk & grab yourself a fabulous lucky woof hug!
Take good care both of you & continue to both stay safe. 🙏🐶👩🏻
Spectacular footage.. such an overlooked mountain.
We recently drove past Pico de Orizaba! We waved at you as you went by! It's also the tallest volcano in North America. So glad you're highlighting it. Hard to believe it's so close to the coast of Veracruz.
I remember reading Bernal Diaz' account of the conquest. He recalls many of the men viewing Orizaba from a ship in the Gulf and speculating on whether the white stuff they were seeing was actually snow in those latitudes.
Wow... this brought me to tears. Thank you as always for sharing this momentous adventure with us.
Beautiful views. My dear Mexico has so many natural wonders. Congratulations Eva for your enthusiasm and strength to continue, they arrived in 6 hours!!!! Enjoy, many greetings from Mexico City 👋🏻😃
Eva. it had to be difficult in those higher elevations. I wouldn't have made it past the camp at over four thousand fee. Wow that Juan is a rock star, right? And so are YOU.
You did great!
I'm not trying to be critical and judgmental, but I want to tell you about my landlords and three of their friends who are sixty to 80 years old. They spent their younger lifetimes running on a daily basis together. They ran to work, ran home a lot of the time, and many days, they'd all go out running together on summer evenings. Every one of them have severe back problems today.. So bad that my landlords can't stand for more than five or ten minutes at the time while making a meal. They have issues with stairs and even going to the bathroom. Both walk stooped over.
I used to run in my 20's and my ortho doctor asked me if i was a runner. He said "stop now before it's too late". He told me that 2-3 times a week was good for our heart, but beyond that, it's bad for our retirement years. He told me to opt for brisk walking the majority of the time, so I did. My back is pretty good for sixty-seven years old.
I hope you don't think I'm intrusive. I just don't want you to have to suffer like my friends do. Blessings sent. (thank you for a very cool channel!)
If I overstepped boundaries, please let me know. I don't like seeing people suffer. xo
Wooo hoooo you did it - we are so proud of you t- hat was a seriously epic adventure. I can't believe you did it so fast and managed to film it as well . You are an inspiration to us all. Sending much love from us C&M xx
Very impressive---you're back in the saddle again!!! Where was Vilk???? I so much look forward to seeing him!!! Also, very happy for you and your conquering of your last episode fears----WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING!!!
This is surely one your absolute best VLOGS Eva! So stoked that it has given you more confidence again in your own amazing abilities. As for North Face sponsoring this VLOG = brilliant and long may it continue - you're such a great brand ambassador and it really is a good brand too (been in love with their gear for decades now).
Love the beautiful photography too - you've captured the mountain's majesty 🙂
Oh my goodness! Eva! Thank you so much for THIS! I will tresure these views! A place i am sure i will never get to and you took us on our Private climb. 6hr 20min. I am in AWE OF YOU!
Wow! Congratulations! That's incredible!
Brilliant, Eva. I used to climb fourteeners in Colorado. The thrill of summiting, of seeing your birdseye view in the colours of high altitude, cannot be described any other way than just being there, yourself. Well done, you
Mexico is such a beautiful Country! The people and landscape make it so picturesque. The Spanish guys I’ve worked with are some of the genuine dudes. Everyone works together and egos generally are usually in check. It’s simple, work hard and get respect from them. They always happily share.
Northface gear is the best! Their customer service and repair is the BEST in the business! Congratulations Eva on the climb. Careful sitting down you may not want to get up ;-) Sometimes it hurts more going down mountain, then up it!
Evening Eva, Wow what an Epic video! What an incredible view too to see the dawn and the mountain casting it's vast shadow. I bet your feeling an incredible high for achieving that goal too. That other wonderland trail.. we all have over off day's and just so happened you had one in the middle of that hike, but like the very experienced explorer that you are you made the right call at the right time...that's what I think anyway for what it's worth. Onward to more adventures! Health@Happiness to you.
Greetings from Greece. Good job Eva! Thanks for sharing the experience. Keep climbing! Never fear !😀
"Camera is woozy too." LMAO!
What it would mean if you didn't complete this is that you are human, that you have limits just like everyone else, that you are not invincible. There would be no shame in that. That being said, well done!
If I were looking for an outdoor clothing company to sponsor something like this, I would definitely try to get Patagonia on board. What they give back to the community is completely unparalleled. People before profits!
Thank you Eva for taking us all up with you. Bravo!
Eva you’ve been an inspiration for me during lockdown when I was stuck in Oman, watching your adventures in Socotra island. Thank you for always sharing your journey with us despite the haters, the low moments and all ❤
I am truly glad you got that confidence back and I love that was in my country!!! Pico de Orizaba is no joke and you did great!!!
I'll never forget that look on your face when you reached the summit.....beautiful!
What a beautiful metaphor for life. 💕 "All the suffering, all the pain, all the sleepless nights... It's so worth it." "Just one foot in front of the other."
Dear Eva,
I'm from Mexico, currently living abroad, and this video made me feel so emotional, thank you. Those images from the summit are so beautiful. I'm happy to know that you made it to the top of the Citlaltepetl. Wish you the best time in Mexico.
A beautiful and poetic video- loved it, as always!
Climbed that mountain in 2017 with two buddies and stayed in the same climbers bunk house in town, this video brought back a very good memory!
Wonderful journey. Thank you!!!!
Here in Canada the north face products are top quality. What ever adventure you do don't feel you have complete it for your viewers/subbers. Do it for you, ✌❤ respect!
Having said that what an awesome view!
Thank you, Eva, for showing me this most beautiful place. It is something that I would never in a lifetime have seen. Your courage and endurance is most wonderful. May God keep you safe.
Thanks for sharing all your adventures. You live an amazing life!
Orizaba is such a fun climb. Did it a few years ago and the conditions were awful right until the morning we climbed. Lucked out and made it to the summit. Incredible view from up top
Congratulations on your goal Eva. I’m proud of you. Making it all the way to the summit. Good job.
Awesome job. Not every challenging goal can be claimed, but this one... you knocked out of the park. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Congratulations on your climb. Thank's for sharing the incredible views.
Wow, I would love to do this. It's a good idea to hire guides for these kinds of adventures as you learn a lot and can manage the risk better. The last 2 years have seen a lot of 'firsts' for me in terms of glacier walking, learning to rock climb, via ferrata etc. I'm learning from the guides and instructors and it's making my own exploration safer and more enjoyable
Kick ass adventure and climb. Congratulations on the success and making the summit. Especially while carrying a pretty heavy pack. I know the effort well. The shadow of the mountain was a fantastic shot. I'd capture that and sell prints. Outstanding!
Fantastic! What an accomplishment! I enjoy watching your journey!
So well done, Eva. The North Face is lucky to have you as their spokeswoman.
Hi Eva, You are one amazing adventurer and storyteller. Looking forward to your next one. Stay safe.
What an amazing journey. Big thumbs up to the guide, he was so passionate and caring :) Youre the perfect team
Thank you, Eva-- I needed this today.
You are incredible.
And if any of us forget, we all are too.
Congrats / Mazal tov.
BlesSings on all your life and wisdom! ✨
You did a great job of seamlessly integrating the NorthFace advertisement in your video. Your presentation is effective because you were yourself and the audience was simply watching you be your normal self.
Hi Eva! Thank you for sharing your climbing challenge. I just love watching you in every possible situation, and how you gain confident every time. Greetings from Norway.
Don't beat yourself up over the Wonderland trail. You didn't quit, you had an untimely illness. These things happen and you made the right call given the circumstances. And this was an incredible climb, I can't believe you did it in 6 hours!
Exactly you rock girl .🎉
I was just about to comment the same thing, and I still may, just so she gets the point that lots of us feel this way. I was actually worried that she was going to force herself to push on during that run, and I had a bad feeling the whole time. I was glad she stopped, and kinda wished she had done so sooner.
@@wirelesmike73 Exactly, if she hadn't stopped and turned back on the Wonderland trail, it could have very easily ended with her getting air lifted out, or worse.
She just wants content
Great video. Great Eva. Congrats and thanks regards J.
Nice ‘Peak’ experience! Congrats, and thanks for sharing…beautiful!
Gratulacje Eva !!! Dopielas celu !!!😃🎉🎊🎉🎊💪💚🌺🍀
Congratulations. Anyone that experiences altitude sickness knows that doing anything physical over 16,000ft up is brutal. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, so well shot and edited.
So glad you gave it another go, this time with a guide. Great video. Amazing scenery
Congratulations! Fantastic video. Thank you for posting.
You rock Eva keep it up
Great job Eva !! What an incredible achievement !❤️
So awesome. So Awesome. Thank you for filming. Thank you for sharing.❤
Congratulations, Eva and thanks a lot I really enjoy watching your video
Parabéns 👏 seus vídeos são incríveis
This accomplishment is just what you needed, when you needed it. Congrats Eva!! I look forward to joining you on your next adventure...via a screen viewed from the comfort of a warm room LOL!
a huge hug Eva. always my admiration for how brave you are and because you face your fears and manage to get ahead. always enjoying each of your videos, from Ecuador.
Congratulations Eva. The video was worth the wait. Thank you always.
You are an inspiration, Eva! I attempted to hike the Salkantay Trek this past summer and the elevation kicked my butt 😅 It was the most difficult and most painful challenge that I had ever took on. But because of you (you brave human, you), I'm going to continue doing these majestic and terrifying hikes.
Been missing these kinda videos. Brilliant achievement, would love to climb it one day.
yay - always happy to see another adventure post from Miss Eva!
Agree, the guide was amazing. Thanks for highlighting this mountain as a possible tourist destination
It's probably higher than Everest thanks to the bulge around the equator.
In fact you should do Mt Chimborazo in Equador. Its summit is literally the highest point on earth.
Congrats! It can be a slippery slope to tie one's identity to accomplishments. I sense you understand this well based on what you share on your channel. Your value is beyond question...your heart is your real identity. 😀
👌
I always cry with your art, Eva. Sending you love from Brazil.
You are amazing 🤩😍, I love to travel along on all your adventures! Inspiring and fun!🙏🏻🙏🙏🏽💜🐕🐾 be safe lovely friend!
Congratulations Eva! I'm a new fan. This is only the 2nd video of yours I've seen now. I clicked on this one because I summited this same mountain when I was in my late 20's (about to turn 50 now). I don't have many pictures at all from the trip and this was like getting to relive it:) Your camera and editing skills make for some amazing viewing. Thanks for this! PS. subscribed now and will watch many more of your vids! keep it up:)
Gratuję wstąpienia do rodziny sportowców The North Face :)
Well done Eva! Congratulations on the summit!
Your doing amazing, keep going. You got this. Thank you for sharing these beautiful adventures with us.
I had no idea there was such a tall mountain in Mexico!
I love all of your adventures but this was by far my favorite recent one! Come out to the east coast USA and do the Long Trail 😀
If u saw her last video saying goodbye for NOW
( wich i just watched )
YOU SHOULD MENTION interestung places there for her to seek out. As again, im sure u have seen whenever it is that she returns. She plans for it to be USA
Beautiful! And Brava for the boundary agreement! Right on.
Beautiful! thank you EVa.
Kudos to you, Eva. You are very well onto your way to adventure stardom! And congratulations on "snagging" The North Face as a sponsor. By all indications you could not have found a better sponsor. Truly an excellent outfitter! Congratulations! Your filming, narration, and editing are fabulous as well. Totally superb. Keep up the good work. But take time to relax as well.
So happy for you and for NorthFace sponsoring this for you. Great video, I felt like I was hiking it with you. Glad also you got your confidence back. Don’t forget the puppy for Vilk lol 😂
Wish Patagonia would've sponsored her. She's been sporting Patagonia clothes for a long time and they are very eco friendly.
Finally!
Old Eva is back.
I really like this kind of vlogs of her.
Juan is so awesome. Thanks Juan for taking care of our friend.
Eva, I am so very impressed with your assent of the mountain. It is huge! I have flown around it in a helicopter and the enormous beauty is absolutely breathtaking. Speaking of breathtaking, the altitude is something to respect. As a pilot I am quite used to it but not everyone can do well in it. To be doing physically demanding work such as the climb is much harder than just being there.
Bravo! Your Pal Al
Great job Eva so proud of you! The true failure isnt not finishing but not even trying! ❤️❤️❤️
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing that with us.
I have warned "The North Face" ski jacket for over 20 years gray across the top of the shoulders down the sleeve, the rest red with, The North Face emblem on the front in gray on red beside the zipper of the left lapel pocket. It looks light but it's actually very warm even though the side pockets zippers have failed I still love this jacket and to this day wear it constantly, to some of my relatives Chagrin! You picked an excellent sponsor, or and excellent sponsor picked you!!!!! That was a pretty awesome achievement without any extra oxygen! I would be carrying at least two of those little hit cans with the built-in face mask.
You never cease to amaze me, Eva. You are truly an inspiration. I hope we crossed paths someday.
What an amazing story and experience! A really big virtual hug to you Eva!
Another great video!! Nice to have you back in North America. Travel safe wherever your adventures take you.
I am so excited for you that you took this beautiful journey. And thank you for sharing your journey with me and all your viewers. Please Stay Safe Happy and Healthy Have A Wonderful Day
Wow what a amazing achievement good job Eva. This has inspired me to get out there a climb a mountain myself but maybe not as high as this haha
Juan Mendoza was my guide on Pico de Orizaba in February 2020. He was great, very patient and encouraging !! Glad you were able to climb with him !!
What guide service is he with!? Was hoping to climb Pico de Orizaba this year!
@@basajaunnn OMG Orizaba Mountain Guides is company I booked through
@@timothyvanriper8074 thank you so much!
Wow! You are amazing!!! What an accomplishment!! 👏👏👏👏♥️
Wow bravo Eva incredible feat thanks for always sharing g blessings
Congrats Eva! Very proud of you that you accomplished something that many people wouldn't even attempt to do or even try for that matter! Also Thank You for showing us how beautiful our great world is! From the central part of the US wishing you safe & warm travels on your journey!
