I'll be climbing with Sarah in 4 weeks. I suffer long term, career related ptsd, and have nothing but the outmost confidence climbing under her expert guidance. I've climbed with her before and she is a bright, helpful, engaged, wonderful, professional, soul.
She is cool
I watched this and remember feeling sad. October 8th 2022 I lost the closest person in my life. We were at Lake Ann Mount Baker. In a split second on a trail we heard one crack from a tree. 3-5 seconds later my friend was deceased in front of me. Now I can really understand the feelings and it’s been a little over a year. My best friend was a BC Park Ranger and we did everything in the outdoors together. Thank you for this documentary and I can say today I am putting the pieces together. It’s connections friends , family Wim Hof, therapy and prayer . I move forward with her in my heart and honour her everyday. Our loved ones don’t want us to forget them.
Sheila
Brilliant film for many reasons. Thank you.
You have no idea how can I relate to this sad story. As a climber myself I had to deal with the death of a friend while ice climbing. We were traverssing back through an ice covered glacier in late autumn and she fell about 200 meters sliding all the way down on a 45 degree slope ending up right in the bottom of a crevasse... I found her dead body about 50 minutes later lying right in front of me. Just havent been able up to this day to erase the memories, watching her going down and the expression she had when I found her dead. Guilt, remorse, fear and pain just dont seem to leave. Therapy and family are absolutely necessary as you need something to hold on to while trying to find your way out of this ordeal
jesus christ man
That’s terrible. I hope you’re doing better. 🖤
This falling during which you were seeing her travel away from you but not gone from you. The fact that you two chose to be in that moment, connected by threads at the very least, you can know that her time sliding further from you, she remained connected, as if in agreement that it should be so. The strength of the light that passed between you two remained constant but in reality slowed the time as it occurred. Many conversations between you both vaguely remembered although not crystal clear, the details will come to you so that you don’t have to replay the tragedy or the look of horrified disappointment upon her face; she had to let go. She didn’t want to let you down or disappoint but her strength passed to you so that you could survive to cherish her. It’s very hard to let go of corporal life at first not knowing of the spiritual anchor we attach to those we love and treasure. Upon seeing that bright light of knowing peace we find some commitments have been achieved and time here physically no longer necessary to succeed at the paths we settled upon pre-consciously. Let the memories be telling of that peace to which she connected. Time passing will just fill in the details of your being. Her gift to you and you to her. Just my thoughts on working through the trauma and ptsd. Time passing.
This has to be the best story I've ever seen. I needed this right now. I struggle with PTSD with some of the same symptoms. I'm looking to get back to work shortly and it scares the sh*t out of me. I'll remember that story when I'm not feeling it.
Hey> peace, love & Gesundheit from Germany. Your post did move me. One thing what doesn't hurt and so I do send some personals prayers for you, some for earth and a few for me. One key-Kraftword for you is >Shit = Scheisse> not even in my wildest dreams
43 minutes of Canadians just being awesome. Beautiful. Also very helpful.
I feel like I should move to Canada hearing winter hits from Nov till April is like a music to my ears…
This is one of the best documentaries/stories I’ve ever seen. A sad story but a great message, expertly shot.
Rest In Peace Sonja. Very happy specially for Sarah who continues to climb, guide and through Mountain Muskox provides support for people after trauma.Thank you Arc'teryx for sharing this incredible documentary.
❤ You are an inspiration Sarah. Your strength is admirable and your resolve even more so. ❤Thanks for sharing.
This is so strong! Both from a mountaineering, athletic but even more so from an emotional point of view. I admire the strength to bail out of the route and to talk openly about the crippling psychological repercussions caused by the death of a dear friend. Truly inspirational!
Thank you for this powerful story of recovery! Thank you Sarah for being an inspiration!
Incredible story or mental and physical fight. Sarah you're a superhero!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story.....the human spirit is so resilient.
Nothing but respect and admiration to Sarah, love the message at the end: Be kind and look after one other.
I've seen a lot of videos about mountaineering and rock climbing, but I've never seen anything like it. It made my jaw drop.
As someone who was diagnosed with PTSD in 2019, due to work-related events, this story touch me deeply; Sarah's resiliency is so incredible and truly inspiring. Also as a new ice climber, I have always had a healthy respect for the sport, but this story is going to stick with me. Thank you for sharing.
I think there’s an entirely too many of us who can relate to this fully. I hope you all have more good days than bad ones✌️
Hugs Sarah! Xxxooo
Thank you for making this and sharing this difficult story. I was a pro ski patroller and still carry vivid memories 30 years later.
Incredible story. Thank you for this wonderful film.
Really beautiful story.
A motivational documentary.
Thank you for making this. It is such an important story to tell.
Thank you for sharing this story and this journey with us. I'm so impressed with Sarah and how she handled all of this. I wish her all the best.
Emotional story, well told. Sonja had a tremendous smile.
Sarah, other than praying for you and your circle of life, and after recently being at the lowest place in thought and body in my 50 plus years on this journey, I want to share what removed the edge of the intensity of wondering how to pull up and over what the darkness was (and is), and it is this truth: I am not my thoughts, my mind or my beliefs. Not knowing who I am is ok, especially when “who” has been a filter of past experiences. My mind is actually beautiful, I do not need to “fit in” and this is how I embrace my natural joy. Blessings to you and peace. 💗
Wow. Thank you. Well told. Inspiration to continue in the mountains despite other kinds of people loss. I too live in the Canmore area. So I'll be looking out for all you lovely folks in the streets and in the mountains.
This, and so many more reasons, is why one needs to be open to hearing Truth RIGHT NOW. Death happens everyday and so many leave this earth not knowing. God forbid...😢
This is beautiful! Very touching, thanks for sharing. Love and kindness to everyone
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It really touches home.
Wow this is powerful
Thank you all for sharing, giving, loving. Like ripples in a pond, tragedy reaches deeply into our souls. Those ripples continue to reflect and come back, over and over.
I'm just one year out of losing a very close friend and, for some time, my primary ice climbing partner. I think of him virtually every time I go out. As we wait for those ripples to finally fade away, all I can say is - I'm so sorry this happened to you.
This is just an incredible film. The depths of feeling shown against the backdrop of the beauty of the mountains is so immense.
Thank you for sharing this story.
Great film. Great story. Really informative and well done. This is what Arc'teryx is all about.
I few years back one of my doctors, who was an ice climber, died during a climb. I still miss him because he was an awesome person and a great doctor. He left quite a hole in our community. RIP, Dr. Adams. RIP, Sonja. RIP, Dr. Laura.
A truly humbling and inspirational story. I can’t imagine how hard that journey has been but what a truly inspirational lady and group of friends.
Thank you to Arcteryx and the Director for creating the film and sharing it.
Gosh what an amazing and moving film.
Namaste, thank you so very much for sharing your story. I guided in the mountains of North and South America, and have experienced a similar event. I then took up Guiding on the Colorado River, and became a White Water Rescuer. I have suffered from PTSD ever since. And I needed the help of a therapist and felt ashamed that I couldn't save everyone or get past the event in my own . You are an amazing young lady, blessed be ...Climb On!
it really does touch your heart and makes your realise you are always aware of the dangers, but when it happens to you or someone close it will have a last effect on the rest of your life. Never give up on your dreams but use your new wisdom to achieve and pursue your abilities.
Thank you for making this, it's been extremely well presented and arctyrex we all love what you are and your dreams for the great outdoors
thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your story Sarah.....there is something within that for us all to take a piece of and cling to ...be safe and enjoy your life so that many can benefit from you as a person and guide . Much much respect Trevor
What a beautiful story of love, friendship and community. I started indoor climbing a little under a month ago and fell in love with it hard. This makes me dream of one day being in the mountains. Thank you for sharing this incredible story of emotional and physical tenacity, I wish the best to all of those involved
Amazing comeback after a tragedy. In an extreme sport there's a period of triumph and reflection.
Great story - Thank you so much for sharing it! 🥰
that overhanging route was intense. thats some serious climbing ability right there. mad props to this lady!!
Love beautiful story
Really well done. Thanks for this.
Beautiful
What an amazing story and group of people. I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss, but grateful you shared this story with us. It was so encouraging and hope giving, thank you from Colorado.
Amazing story!
Thank you Sarah for sharing your story of loss, grief, healing, and community. I had heard about Sonja through a mutual friend, and could only imagine how difficult this journey has been for you and all who loved her. I admire that Mountain Muskox has been founded to help others through their difficult times. Keep going!
Great film! Beautiful...Sarah !
What an amazing piece !!!!!
And let's be honest....if any of us were in this exact same situation .... We would most probably feel and react the exact same way....guilt is a hell of a thing! However....as climbers and mountaineers it's always there....in the back of your mind.....the risk....that it could happen....to you....or your friends and clients or people you love....but we must remember....the mountain is just being the mountain.....and will continue to do so regardless of our whims or indeed our guilt.
May they forever r.i.p.
You are so kind to share yourself. Thank you.
This is an absolutely beautiful story. Love the filming. The vulnerability is inspiring. I greatly relate to these kind of experiences and emotions when I think about the outdoors. Thank you @heathermosher for such a great film.
I feel a little less alone for feeling the way I do about life
Incredible production with an amazing story, Sonja would definitely nod her head and smile at Sarah, be proud.
This was, pardon my American, fucking amazing!
Elegantly done … great seeing Will and Barry of my gen still out there and still smiling and Serving. Lmk if we can bring Muskox to Durango sometime… 🙏🏾🕉
Beautiful film Heather, now I have a new high-bar to aim for with my hiking films.
As someone who’s lost friends and family to the mountain, this struck hard. So well presented and should be shared throughout ski towns/ mountain communities as many of us have lost loved ones doing what they love and need some bits of positivity like this presented. It’s not easy, but always light at the end of the tunnel!
Amazing story
Thanks Sarah.
Really well done - it reminds us that life can be fleeting at times. Great initiative with mountain Muskox which I know has helped others in the Bow valley ...
beautiful
huge respect
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for this profound sharing of what true human trauma and overcoming is.... I'm still trying to find ways to live after an event that happened about mid July 2021, every day is a warzone and yet I am simultaneously grateful that I am blessed by our heavenly Father YAH Most High, daily. Without his love, I'd not stayed in this world, even after a year the grief, self hatred and loathing, the waves of emotional overload are still here, so raw, no closure, very isolating. Watching this alone at night here in Australia, where my family and I once had a life, I'm grateful for being given hope by this beautiful yet agonising film to watch in isolation.... Thank you to all who took part, Sonja's family, all the guides, and their families and loved ones. May YAH bless you all and keep you.... HalleluYAH
Hi there WAQ, as a fellow Aussie, I wish you much light, love and continued healing for whatever happened to you mid July 2021. Take care - MG 🙏
@@mountainguyy Thank you kindly...truly.

Wow
Nice Work
Holy shit she is a beast.
Asterix forever!.....😮😊
Deep scars
R.I.P.
Immediatey reminded me of the 2012 Tunnel Creek avalanche.
Good 😊👍
A beautiful film, Sarah is an amazeballs lady.
I made several winter climbing trips with Yamnuska climbing school in Canmore and I believe it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And Yamnuska is the very best school out there!
Hello from Germany. I just seen this thing they call it "Bergexerzitien". That is like a retreat exercise get together. Fitting wise it is in a monastery in the Alps here in Germany. Its like getting more spirituel and maybe even a move closer to god. Thru the beauty of the Alps and the nature they try to see the "creator". I mean retreats or exercise like that does not hurt. Little prayers dont hurt either. Physical exhaustion helps by a big lose like losing a loved one. Right now in this time with the War knocking on our door and all that crap from the covid >> health & money +++ physical damage. I wish I could participate. Peace/ love & Gesundheit from the old country. Oh ja and some little prayers. lol
SheWouldntCareSheDiedDoingWhatSheLoved
It's heartbreaking to think that someone blames themselves when an avalanche takes a friend.
The person that succeeds or fails is the same person.
I love the story about human emotion and connection, and what great cinematography!
Unfortunately I have to say arcteryx fumbled by putting a balloon release in something so nature focused, especially given their company mission.
All considered, I hope this group and community finds peace in their memory of Sonja
First of all, there were people at that event independent of Arcteryx, including the widowed husband. And are you so black and white you wouldn't release a couple balloons to remember someone you loved?
It sounds like it's time to put the fatal possibilities into the teachings. Everyone knows it's a possibility but no one ever wants to talk about it. Seems that should change. I have a feeling people don't talk about the bad calls because mental health is still so stigmatized. As a country (or world), we need to get passed the stigma of mental health. You're more likely to heal and heal better if you know that you're not alone. Losing friends, almost close as family, to nature isn't the "fault" of anyone. When it is time for someone to go, it is their time to go as heartbreaking as that is and as hard to deal with as that can be. Don't hide yourself and what you're going through away because that will only make it worse for you in the long run. Be well. Stay safe.
I find it difficult to understand how people can be involved in very dangerous sports, and then be taken aback when someone they know dies in these very dangerous sports. That this happens, suggests that they never really "grokked" how dangerous the sport was.
At one point in this film Sarah says she wasn't happy unless she was climbing. This is the core of the problem. Once realizing that is the case, the solution isn't to overfixate on climbing, but rather to do personal growth work in order to learn to enjoy simpler things in life.
Too many people are obsessed with extreme and very dangerous sports. The fact that so many people climb Mt Everest every year and walk past corpses along the way, symbolizes the dysfunction of extreme sports.

I would like to express empathy and condolences to the guides who were left behind. but i also cannot fathom how on earth anyone would feel guilt for this. this is incredibly dangerous. people must know that before they get into it. it is their own decision, not yours. just because 99.99% of people dont die doesnt mean that 0.01% is your fault. human beings will do dangerous things, its on them, not you.
I understand what you say, but when you are the guide, it's probably much harder not to blame yourself, sadly. If I was the guide I'm sure I would feel crushed as well.
Clients rely on the guides to make those decisions because the clients don't have the experience. I'm not saying they are to blame AT ALL, but that's why I understand how they would feel so guilty.
I just realized that covid happened after this was filmed. That had to make things even harder to deal with so I hope everyone in this video is doing okay in January, 2023.
It wore me out just watching it.
why was she wrapping all the stem and handle of the Ergonomic in electrical tape?
Usually you wrap the axes in tennis or cycling tape so you can bite them changing hands or clipping the rope in a quickdraw, it's common in drytooling
@@giuseppeinversini5771 i did wrap my nomic in bar tape too, but not the grip, which is made with rubber already... Only reason i can think of is, the grip was not thick enough
Love the scenery. Total respect for the climbing,and the physicality of your achievements and the community of mountain mammals. Not happy with the constant whining about the emotional side of the film. Mountain activities are a love of the whole experience, take the hits of what the mountains give you and takes from you as humans, and stop whining about it. Alpinism is amazing, use it as therapy and not a excuse to feel sorry for yourself.X
I really enjoyed this film, but was extremely disappointed when the balloons were released. I think we all know letting balloons fly off is a terrible idea. What a shame for this film to be so heartfelt and then host an event that litters.
is this an Arc'teryx ad? kinda messed up
