This video captures Burning Man 2013 from an elevation of 5495 feet above sea level and over 4 linear miles from the center of Black Rock City. Old Razorback, aka Trego Peak, provides a unique vista of this incredible annual event. Climbing to the peak of Old Razorback has become a challenging and rewarding tradition for our team. This is a view that most will never experience in person. It is our passion to share it with the world through the lens of a camera. Climbing 1,888 feet in less than a mile over steep, unstable mountainside is a dangerous and exhilarating mission. This year we deployed cameras during the build week, capturing the growth of the city and ending it the night of the burn. We express gratitude to the family and friends that joined us for this epic climb. We could not do it alone. Many thanks to our team this year: Mark Phipps, John Phipps, Dallon Phipps, Kevin Johnson & Meghan Johnson. We also offer heartfelt thanks to OpenOptics (Inspired Flight) and Dusty Nix for designing such an incredible sound score for this year's rendition (inspiredflightmusic.com, dustynix.com).

I've gone a dozen times since 98 and it's never easy to describe Burning Man to other people but I will include this video in any of those future attempts at offering some small idea as to what it's all about.
Just amazing to see this. Thanks!
I agree!
Yeah I'm having my friends tell me to shut the f****** about burning Man did I talk about it too much but I mean I don't know how to describe it to them
We got to the base of the mountain at 5:30 AM and arrived at our camp around 11. The sun beating down on a steep incline made of unstable, decomposed gravel carrying 50-60lbs bags. Best. Hike. Of. My. Life. The blood, sweat, tears, and 10 hour wait were well worth it. Seeing that man burn in real life on top of a barren mountain was amazing. Massive lights in a seemingly neon city tainting the very gravel and rock around us with colors of the rainbow. I will always remember that glorious hike.
I'm up for that challenge. I survived hiking "The Wave" this past September and would love to capture similar footage. It's been 5 years. I think a repeat is due.
Lovely. Looks like a galaxy.
KatYoora we're all Youniverses within a Universe...live in love
This is amazing. Haunting. Spectacular. Really cool to watch and try to contemplate everything that's being captured in all these lights: the people, the devices, the events. And really cool just to watch.
That's my brother and sister-in-law!!!! Dude, it's not just the great photography, but the music and the passion. Reminds me of endless hours on the beach talking about life.
Thank you for this video! It inspired me to write this below about a year ago, before I ever made the journey to BRC (I just got back a few days ago from my first burn and sure enough, it surpassed and defied any words I put to it.) It brought to mind biblical-type images of pilgrimage and discovery, climbing a mountain and looking down onto a proud city, which looks so much like a shield to me in your video.
Title: See!
Lo, behold; see that huddle of humanity!
Sweep eyes across that crouching shield of shanty tents, of hazard stakes; they number as few as the moon yet shine with the light of the stars. Gaze proudly on the stalwart standards of tattered canvas, and let the sound of surging hearts and hammers beating love into twisted metal ring out in your ears. Their every breath screams fuck you to futility; their very existence a challenge to a timeless alien vastness. Immensity howls with barren breath in the face of this truth-emblazoned aegis, hurling elemental rage against its hunkered form. Yet, still, the city’s ragged arms hold strong; protecting, protecting against human hubris, against greedy bones probing for your deepest dreams and desires only to pluck them from your peaceful sanctuary and feed them to a mass of screaming millions fated to fear and consume and devour. Away your sight from this dark terror, this waking nightmare; raise your eyes, people, I say to you, see now this place!
Here, do the shackles of man fall freely to the ground. Here, does this levee of lean-tos and ragged shacks, of worn, friendly hands and knowing smiles, turn a tide from ravaging a populace already starving. Here, the streets overflow brimming with the celebration of collective symbiosis; a nest woven of life, rising and falling with its fluttering breaths. Here, the strings of the universe strum richly and the heartbeat of the city throbs gasping in wonder and delight. Here, life blooms epically in a fiery forge of humanity, a battered cradle suspended in a macrocosm of wind, space, sand and time. Here, the minds of men ride stallions of sun in a brilliant whirl, flashing and slashing at foes in the midnight sky, striking down the ghosts of those who walked with heavy hearts and fear in their eyes. Here, the embrace of man is a pillar around which all souls must kneel and rise, giving homage to that which burdens you and enlightens you. Here, we live as humans fulfilled to our own standard.
It. IS. Possible.
See!
This right here has inspired me to go!! Thank you that was amazingly beautiful!!!
Hi, I'm Danny, and I'm a Proud member of the Burner community.. and welcome to my home.
This is by far the coolest thing I've ever Seen on TH-cam very well done Mr Phipps ✊
We saw a reflection in the mountains and tried to signal you on Thursday of build week. Thanks for the show from afar.. hope our efforts made it worthwhile for you.
That video rocks.
This video was surreal, like if we all were on another neon light-filled planet. Loved my first burn!
In my humble opinion, Phipps' videos are the only ones that can capture the incredible experience at night on the playa. The city looks so tiny from above, but in fact it is really huge. Without ever being there, you cannot imagine the thrill when standing in the middle, watching almost 80,000 people around you partying and screaming all the night. Those city lights are fascinating and, as you can see, I am still impressed. Thanks a lot for the videos! ;-)
this is one of the best short youtube videos i have ever seen... EVER! If you told me this was a sci-fi scene from a far away planet in the year 2999, i would believe you! spectacular! thanks
This. Took me back. And made me cry. And let it sink in, I finally made it to BM this year. This really happened. Thanks for this. Incredible...
One of few videos you can't actually feel not only the time and effort but the Peace Love Unity and Respect...
This was my first burn, and it was amazing. Thanks so much for this beautiful flashback :)
The density of magic was definitely at an all time high this year. This time laps is hard evidence of that. Simply...WOW!!!
This is the best thing I have ever seen. Ever. Whoever made this video deserves a medal. And a hug. A hug made out of starlight and joy. And maybe a million dollars. YAY!!!
As a 17-year burner, I have seen a LOT of videos. This is, without a doubt, the most outstanding piece I have ever seen. Bravo!!!
Thanks Aaron. I know it will need to be a few years from now, but this is an event we need to attend together someday. It's a great place to spend endless hours talking about life, and enjoying it at the same time :-)
The burn this year was indescribable. This is by far the most magical place on the planet. Its the type of place the world needs to be, but isn't ready to be. Thank so much for the upload. It ignited my emotions.
Thank you for this. A previous poster nailed it when he noted that this captures the "grounded serenity" on the edge of a bubble of activity - the energy expended to create such a thing and the exuberance that celebrates it.
Gorgeous. And it captures the odd grounded serenity I found in the midst of the bubble of activity. It makes me want to go back.
True. Trego Peak is what I first heard it called in 2011. We were in the event and felt the need to hike it. Polaris and a few experienced locals helped us map our routes.
I absolutely love the song that accompanies this video.
I was down there that night, when the man burned in 2013. It was my second year, my first technically solo drive out there all the way from Nebraska. And my plans didn't go according to plan, but I got adopted into another camp, and by the end of the week my situationship with someone in that camp had ended. And so I slept in that circular donut shaped net that night, you know the one, the one that's off the esplanade, at the top of a huge geo dome. I can never remember the name of the camp. But it was a safe place that night.
Time may move differently for any other life forms out "there" and I see this as how they may view our existence and find it humbling yet fascinating in that respect. To have been there as it was viewed and shot from your camp and to ponder the meaning of life must have been memorable and possibly life changing conversations. Thanks for making this.
Excellent footage! Gives an idea how big the actual site really is, the lighting installations look amazing from a distance.
Hi, I'm Peaches. And I'm a proud member of the Burner community... and welcome to my home. :0)
This year was my first and not my last time attending BM, It really touched me deep and it is an amazing place to sit and talk about life...think about the past and look forward too the future. Thank you for making this beautiful time lapse I know its not easy and I appreciate your dedication.
Left me in tears...just beautiful.
So beautiful. Felt like I was back on the playa
2013 was my first burn. I found this video right away thank God, cause it brings me right back and at first I was trying to track where I was throughout it (roughly). It really does somewhere lock into the feeling. I've watched this and shared it SO MANY TIMES!
Definitely my favorite video I have seen so far of any BM!
this is art, just like the sculptures, cars and people. Really a truly phenomenal piece of work! Thank you.
Time lapse makes everything better
A true gift the the playa this year. You should be so proud of this clip. Thank you so much.
)'(
LOVE. Open Optics.... the trip you take us on is fantastic.
Great video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
picking music for an eastern caribbean cruise in a week and this is one of them, awesome, the stars align
Amazing video. Thank you so much for capturing the sheer scale and overwhelming
nature of the playa xxx
2014 will be my first time going. I can't wait!!!
Ребята! Молодцы!!!! Отличная кропотливая работа!!!!
Wow, a beautiful view of the biggest event of the year. Great work.
Had to team up on some on convo to say some thing Big Ups Great video. One of the best ive ever seen. Burning Man 2014 here I come.
Thank you this has made me want to go even more so now than ever.
Well done and thank you! This is a brilliant documentation of our Jewel City in the Desert!
I honestly thought that too and I found myself on the other side of the country and in the desert this year. You never know what the future holds.
beautiful it captured the feeling I had after I left black rock city
Thanks, great job. Talk about prevailing westerlies! Poor people on the East side!
very creative.
thank you thank you! you and your team. I love BRC and all it's inhabitants and have frequently dreamed of what it would look like from this exact perspective. All my dreams fulfilled.
Magnificent!!! Instant favorite. See you next year!
Thank you for appreciating the video and for your kind praise.
What a gorgeous, evocative tribute to Burning Man! It is a lot of work to do that much time lapse. Congratulations.
Spectacular! So well produced & edited.
loved being there, loved watching this!
brings me back there. thanks! what a magical ride
The man-burn fireworks look awesome......
This video is amazing and gives the "non-Burner" an idea of the complexity and amazement that is Burning Man. If your team does this again, I'd like to join!
thank you making such a wonderful film for all to see.
Thank you for this video! I have watched it maybe 10 times now and really love it. I attended burning man this year for the first time. This video shows how beautiful it is at night on the playa in a way that I haven't found in a video yet :)
that is awe captured for a moment...
This is awesome! I won't ever have enough money to go see it with own eyes :-(
GULP!!! Beautiful Video... From a Galaxy Far, Far Away • Honest™
Magnificent. :) Thank you for capturing this.
That was simply incredible I applaud you sir!
Thank you so much for this amazing time-lapse.
The choice of the music is gorgeous!
I'm breathe-taking.
THANK YOU!!!
Love & more.
Wow, beautiful, and from a perspective not usually seen. Nice choice of music, too. Makes you realize the whole event itself is one giant piece of art.
Amazing Video Jason. Good Job. Great Video. See you next year!
Thank you for this beautiful gift. Takes me back to so many amazing moments.
This is, visually, a beautiful video to watch! And I felt like I was there with the music and everything... thank you!
Absolutely phenomenal work. Thank you! (Now I want to go back!)
Absolutely stunning
AWESOME, great music also,,,, thanks.
This is giving me chills
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Amazing footage. It looks like little LED ants crawling around in and out of center camp. I'd love to see a beginning-to-end buildup and build down of the entire event. Creation and Destruction of an entire city, so cool.
Thank you so much for the sight and sound. Always great to see another point of view and what an amazing spot to film! The logistics of this mission must be fascinating! Well done!
Thank you so much you guys for this beautiful thing. I think you have encapsulated the real spirit... like looking into a spy glass at a priceless jewel or better, a rare living organism. I am Playaful to you both..as a new friend in the exodus so graciously shared this new term with me. so extraordinary! My decompression fix almost nightly.
Fab! Love time lapse and this is stunning!
... and thank you Jennifer! :)
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!
Very nice! Cheered me up after watching a video that made me sad, thanks.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for this.
Beautiful.... I can't wait to go for my first time next year. I've been to regional events and know MANY people that go... I can't wait to go!!!!
I don’t think I would enjoy going to Burning Man very much. But I would LOVE to see it from a mountaintop, especially when they burn the man.
DPW loves you!
Great prospective. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this.... I've watched so many videos of 2013 and they all made me feel something but this one for sure struck a chord that went deep.... Absolutely loved it :)
breath-taking.
Thanks brotha!
Thank you so much for this beautiful perspective. Amazing vision and so well done.
This is fabulous! Thanks you!
Post-apocalyptic madness! Cool video. Nice music.
Thank you for sharing that!!
It was my first year, and this brought me right back home :-D
Just beautiful! nice work, thank you for sharing!
Just beautiful thanks guys.
Amazing video my brother!! Thank you for this :)
Thank you so much for making this. This is absolutely phenomenal!
Really awesome! I hope they're doing another one for this year's (2014) Burning Man.
Thanks I wondered what it looked like at night and the scale of the festival. I will have to go some day.
