    The intro scene on this with you pushing your bike through feet of snow, snow falling down, and the music is downright enchanting, ngl.

      This is probably the only video I've ever made where I was more excited about the climb than the descent.

    Dude you make some of the most entertaining mtb videos. You gotta post more often. Anyway sick video bro

      Really stoked you enjoy the videos. Unfortunately I don't have the time I used to have so editing is complicated, i do wish I could still post weekly.

    That's a beast of a climb even without pushing a bike all the way up! Respect! 👍👏

      But can you imagine getting to the top and wishing you had your bike to ride down?

    Wow what an epic ride. So grateful to you for bringing us along for the ride. Kudos to you for pushing through despite having a massive headache. 👏

      Thanks Jordan! Still one of my all time favorite rides despite being so focused on the up.

    A small O2 bottle would have made a huge difference, the headache would have vanished after a couple hits of the O2. I've spent time in Quito Ecuador, and used to see guys on road bikes grunting their way up mountain roads at 12,000 ft like it was nothing. For a sea level man, that was impressive. Thanks for sharing.

    I watched a ton of your videos all last riding season while working, then I broke my arm in September and couldn't ride for 6 months. A combination of the medication I was on + pain made it impossible to watch your videos without getting sick. So I played non-nausea inducing, one-handed video games instead.
    After a long pause though, I'm swinging back to your channel to consume all your videos again. Keep making such extremely quality content Stefano, I for one love it.
    Still would love longer format style videos, maybe on a second channel :)

      It was! Absolutely brutal but so worth it. If you're gonna go for it, train yourself up and if you can try to do a few altitude rides first.

      Without a doubt I had. I've done enough high altitude stuff to know that I don't work all that well above 13k ft. This is the highest I've done so it really hit me hard.
