    The sheer zen of this is beyond comprehension.
    No one will ever capture a moment in time like this.
    Astronauts on the space station are less isolated and challenged .
    You have truly captured an unseen frontier. All alone. Just mind boggling.
    I will watch this over and over.
    Thank you so much.

  • @brumer3114
    @brumer3114 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The view from the camera on your head as you walk along icy, snow-covered ridge tops made of jagged, sharp rocks, while also jumping down from higher rocks to lower rocks is astounding. Seeing the winds blowing snow across the ridge tops while you walk to the edge to look over time and time again amazes me. This should have a million views!

      I am obviously not FF, but I have climbed many of the same mountains as him. Oxygen isn't too precious on these mid-sized mountains, but the wind up there can suck the breath right out of your throat if it's harsh and cold enough.

    Love the close-up view of everything as you're passing through the landscape - really gives a sense of place. Some of the shots seem similar to the kinds of images we get from Mars. Probably some of the terrain - shattered rock - isn't totally different, minus the snow.
    Some of it looks terrifying from the camera perspective. Parts of the ridge looked like they could be crumbly? For the thousandth time, be safe Mr F :-).

    Wow, one person's "day training" hike is another's extreme sport, I guess :-). Can you film a descend one of these days? I have no idea how one would get down from such steep slopes. Do you literally just slide down feet first to keep your center of gravity underneath you?
