    I have learned from watching these videos that it's best that I keep my feet on the ground. However, should I ever take a leave of my senses and set out to try and conquer the impossible, I want Morbid Midnight to eulogize me.

      Kasey Kasum used to say, "Keep your Feet on the Ground, and your head in the stars.." , 😂 then he slixkered-foot straight into an Icelandic crevásse, then John Byner impersonated Casey's voice for THE NEXT 14 YEARS, MAN!

      If u think, mountain climbing disasters are scary, try some of the cave diving disaster videos. Far higher casualty rate in cave diving than in mountaint climbing!
      Im a sucker for videos like this, but yeah, I learn the lesson from the mistakes and misfortunes of others. I can enjoy the mountain view just fine in a video from the safety of my home 😉

    I attempted Distaghil Sar just last week. However, when got to the door of my house at about 11:00 am I was too exhausted to leave. I struggled to make myself a cup of tea so I decided to take the tea and go back to bed for an hour or so. Part of successful mountaineering is knowing your limits.

      I appreciate the kind words! I have been a little more exhausted than usual the last month or so but it's definitely not because I'm burnt out of making videos or anything, it's actually just because I have two young, energetic kids at home who clearly don't value a nap as much as their dad would sometimes. I have an almost comically large list of topics for videos I want to make and I've gotten lots of good topics from viewers too, so there's plenty more in store to come! Reading comments like yours is what makes me continue to enjoy making these videos without getting burnt out; & I'm really happy that you enjoy watching them too!

    • @arielworkings1305

    When I was younger, I and my father and brother used to mountaineer up in the Sierras. Not much rock climbing, but enough to appreciate the risks these people take. while the beauty of these peaks is mesmerizing, I realize that there was never a point that I would have felt a temptation to train for an ascent. I just don't have it. At some point, you realize that and move on.
