This short film has unequivocally been the most influential piece of media in my outdoor adventure journey. Seeing it for the first time as a young college student, inspired me to commit much of my life to climbing and skiing in the alpine. Now a decade later I still watch it the night before a big mission in the mountains, to remind myself why we do what we do. RIP Kyle, you'll live forever in our hearts.
Like many others in the comments, I come back many many times to watch this PURE authentic report from a man who wants to be out-theeeeere. It gave me so much inspiration and motivation to do adventurous stuff and it still does awaken a little flame in me to keep going on similair expeditions! RIP Kyle and Scott
This is deeply inspiring and touching. Very sad to read after watching this that Kyle passed away. I wish I could thank him for making this short film.
I can't get over that's quote. I love it! I've listened to it over and over! One sick video dude! "Real adventure is not polished. It's not the result of some marketing budget, there's no Hashtag for it. It burns brightest, on maps edges, but it exists in all of us. It exists on the corner of imagination, and the ridiculous. You have to have faith. It will find you there."
I have recently been bingeing on mountaineering books. It started with Ed Viesturs "K2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain" which led to "Everest: The Unclimbed Ridge" about the loss of cutting edge British Climbers Joe Tasker & Peter Boardman in 1982. This then led to my reading the books written by Joe & Pete before they died (one by each mountaineer was published post-mortem). I cannot recommend their writing more highly. There is resonance in the tragic loss of Kyle & Scott. None of these human beings were scared of taking risks but they were also not reckless. All of them wanted to come down safely. In the big mountains, anything is possible. I am 67 & big mountains are not in my future but I have been on some recent adventures involving trails & hills in West Virginia & my Irish Setter Lucas. I have never felt so alive as I do when we are out taking some risks. RIP Joe, Pete, Kyle & Scott & thank you for the example of living life to the fullest that you have left us.
This is incredibly inspirational. I'm leaving next year for a cycling trip from Portugal to Singapore and will certainly seek out the 'edges of the map'!
Thanks for making something about my country. I am glad people can see how beautiful world is, even though you never heard of places like this. Much Respect
Brilliant film. This really brought back memories- I see it hasn't changed much since I was there in '04. So many of the roads, buildings, mtns, etc look so familiar! Uncanny.
Magnificent! I love the narrative, editing and the candid filming. The short has a great balance of pioneer spirit, humor, adventure, culture, introspection, boldness, inspiration. Its wonderful to know there are still frontiers if you are willing to go get it. Thanks Kyle, I admire and applaud your seemingly undaunted courage. Cheers!
Rest in Peace ! You enjoyed life to the fullest and lifed your dream. You achieved more than alot of people out there. And you inspired alot of people - including me and my parents - to go out there and explore the world. Your spirit will live on. ♥ But you are greatly missed.
I have spent a lot of my life trying to experience life fully. I love to bike, and I love mountains finding my way to remote and beautiful places. Thank you so much for sharing, you captured something here, and reminded me of who I am fundamentally, re-igniting my passion to strive. Maybe one day we can share a doobie and philosophize. cheers.
Purely inspiring story with a funny intro. I totally agree with the quote of Kyle Dempster that adventure exists at intersection of imagination and ridiculousness. Superb footage in kyrgyz mountains and increadible storyline
That was just amazing. Makes me feel like the trivial day-to-day life is so meaningless. I feel like I'm missing out on what it really means to live. So inspirational. I hope to one day be as brave and alive as you, my friend. Peace and safe travels.
360 degrees of Rad. this is one of the greatest things, "it's 7 o'clock in the morning and I'm naked in Kiergestan the rest is just wild memory, product with no blueprint"
Beautiful , it's amazing how actually raw and unpolished real life really is and how , even now in the globalization era, there are still parts out there that just yell wild and free

Went to junior high and high school with Kyle. Have great memories together. This film makes me happy. You lived a full life my friend.
Still love watching this. Going to miss this guy and his adventures. RIP, Kyle Dempster.

Hey, like a few other commenters, I rewatch this regularly. Thanks for making it, and putting in as much heart as you did.

this movie is such an inspiration to open up your mind and see the world and its people for what they really are
Frightening and uplifting, stunning and touching. An amazing film.
One of the most entertaining and enriching films I've ever seen! Great job to all who brought this film to life!

He’s just been lost. I always think of the fact he could of used it as a cover for leaving life and melting in with the locals. Is this possibly true?
@@tassieTRUTHS there's no way man. My brother was super close with him and he had so many loving friends and family back home.
inspirational does not begin to express it, an angel among us, for a short time
This is incredibly inspirational. I'm leaving next year for a cycling trip from Portugal to Singapore and will certainly seek out the 'edges of the map'!

Just watched this right now..... quarantined and watching this......
Quarantined as well and enjoying it. Can't wait to get out and shake it up
in an interview: "What really scares you about climbing?
Avalanches, death. But not as much as a sedentary life."
This is absolutely amazing! I'm completely in love with this story, video, & adventure. Thanks so much for sharing! :)
