It took ages, millions of years of a very chaotic and slow process, continents and tectonic plates collided, to push massive portions of land up towards the sky. When you climb a mountain, you're paying tribute, not only to your health, but also, to those millions and millions of years of unfathomable transformation. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
VERY well done 7X Whitney veteran here. First climbed it in ‘71. Now, I AM 71 ! (Sucks) But it was a pleasure to watch you young bucks grunt up the peak (not the least because of near-professional grade cinematography)
I love it when at 56:30 he talks about life challenges in a form of a mountain, or lose of a job or breakup; I have had those challenges; could not summit Whitney, still wants to do it after since past December I got injured at work, lost my dad, lost my job, then my mother in that order..there are always challenges; only good thing about then is they make you better and stronger. I think if I get to the next time at Whitney I will get up there and probably will remember this!
Andrew! I also have a heart condition. Aortic Valve Stenosis. I’m missing a heart valve. You are an inspiration. I do hiking and some backpacking. But constantly have to be checking my heart man. I’m taking my 13 year old boy on his first backpacking trip. So excited and somewhat nervous. 😆. Living LIFE despite my condition. We can’t let fear hold us back! Keep walking till we can’t no more.
"We wanted to cut down on weight" *brings a full jar of peanut butter* I love you guys! I'm always amazed by how high quality your videos are with only 44k subscribers. I definitely want to go check out Mount Whitney for myself now.
I summited that mountain all the way back in 1986. It was a beast then, and I am sure it is a beast now. But your video was excellent. I have hiked 4 places that you guys went to. So, I enjoy watching all your adventures.
This video deserves more than a million views. I can watch it again and again. My favorite of all your videos. Great commentaries, very informative, and you’ve shot the views and landscapes pretty nicely. Great job and thanks for sharing!
I love Robby with his fuller (2021) hair, the Lin Brothers with their ponytails, and Thomas' scrubby beard look. LOL, Andrew's wag bagging sounded safer than Robby's style. Love you guys!
Summited Whitney on 10/04/2021. This video inspired me to do it. Andrew telling about his congenital heart disease was really touching. All the best you guys!! You rock.
I have 5 older brothers so of course my dad was the scout master. The first year we camped at Whitney portals my dad just looked at the mountain. The next year dad and my uncle climbed it. 2 days up and 1 down. The year after that , dad and uncle Bruce each brought their boy scout troops. The first picture we have from the summit is dad and the two oldest boys. Then the younger of that pair with the next brother. And so on skipping me and the last with my younger brother. Dads grin got bigger each year. I never got to climb Whitney with my dad. I did help scatter his ashes from mt Coness.
Andrew is my new hero ! I cried like a baby when he was thanking his parents at the end and talking about his heart condition and how its challenged him in life yet with his parents love and encouragement hes beat all of the challenges life has brought his way and then some . It's a beautiful testimony,,,,,I love all the guys ( and girls) from adventure archives,,,but this particular episode really touched my heart and soul .......peace n love from Arizona!
Such a great video, favorite part is when Andrew thanked this parents for caring and loving him. You all are the best. I normally don't watch you tube video that are 1 hour long but your video is worth watching.
I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you guys for inspiring me and my husband to make hiking Whitney our 2019 goal. We just achieved it this weekend, August 23rd and got to the summit at dawn for an amazing sunrise. No AMS and beautiful weather. Thanks for sharing your passion for hiking and showing your viewers all of the beautiful places to go explore!
I feel uplifted and inspired when I watch your videos. There is a genuine joy and camaraderie you have that is rarely seen in the busy world we live in. And Andrew, it is very cool of you to share your story of your heart condition and your appreciation of your parents at the peak!
A wonderful experience to see you all complete your challenge! Thank you Andrew for sharing a part of your life. I am happy you are able to be your best physical self due to the care of your parents for your heart condition.
@@AdventureArchives As someone who's climbed more than 1,000 mountain ascents (while aging rapidly now )-: ), to me it seemed you underestimated the value of the summit -- the achievement and the experience. Because you don't fully appreciate that experience until some time passes. I look at the 10,000s of mountain photos and can't help recall how special each of those experiences were ... the people I was with, the way the sky, the forest, the horizon and views, memories of wonderful experiences and relationships long gone now ... all of that are truly unforgettable. Your carefully made video says that perfectly ... while preserving an innocence of the feeling of being relatively new mountain hikers. So again ... nice work. Can't wait to watch more of your work!
Wow that was an awesome video! Thank you for sharing your experiences! Climbing Mt. Whitney is just a dream for me! So thanks again for letting me see the mountain through your eyes!
This Mount Whitney video ranks as one of my favorite AA videos. It seemed like a never ending hike up to the summit. The views area amazing and the mountain snow made this video even better. Excellent job again with the video quality and editing. Next time Bryan!! It's not easy, but well worth it making it to a high summit. The ending was hilarious! 😂 Great Video!!👍👍
Oh boy at 12:15 when he says lets make it to mile one, reminds me my ascend to just Outpost camp took me around 7 hours; GPS registered I had hiked 7 miles but Outpost camp is only 3.8 miles away from Portal; I could never understand the difference in readings; my ascend was slow as I stopped every 20-50 paces to catch my breath because I am out of shape; averaging 1 mile every 2 hours that is insanely slow! then used to stop more times too for video and pictures; I was really taking my time in no rush to get there but when I finally did and found out I had expended 7 hours to cover 3.8 miles I was really amazed! I saw people going really fast and heavy loaded and was wondering how could they; I was definetely the slower climber that day; even an elderly woman passed me on the way up! but then again the experience and the fun of it it is worth it. This video brings up my itch to go do it again; this time I will plan better to be able to summit!
Your videos wow me! You are my favorite RUclips channel. It feels kinda like I'm there with you. Thank you very much for your awesome videos. 😊🌿🌄🏕️ Robby's and Andrew's stories at the end are hilarious. I'm still laughing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I've watched this video at least 1 time before.🏕️🗻
i'm the 30% disabled from birth guy who was lucky for UCLA friends who helped him into the low Sierras in the early 1960s. 1 or 2 of them "summited" Whitney including one guy who my bride of 46 years called my brother from another mother. He's still around at age 84 and even a better human being for being a UCLA and JPL physics guy on the Galileo/Jupiter mission. Whitney left it's mark on Bob M. - who's still way too modest ever to admit that he partly "saved the entire mission" after the main photo antenna froze midway in space. He solved the problem and 35-years later, no one's the wiser :) I like to think that too was Mt. Whitney's gift to everyone in humility. Your videos speak for themselves. Thanks so much! Best,
On 10/23/2019 I Day hiked Mt. Whitney via Mountaineers Route unprepared with no training and no acclimation. I did summit but this mountain broke me down piece by piece in every way possible. It humbled me down and made me appreciate life even more. Whtney is no joke.
Wow, that's quite an accomplishment! Yeah, we were very prepared ahead of time (or at least I was) after how strenuous the Japan hike was. It's definitely no joke, especially towards the top, but definitely gives you that much needed perspective :) Thanks for watching!
"The mountain left its mark on us" So true ! Thank you Andrew ! Congratulations on defying the odds. Great trip and great documentary. The movie editor did an awesome job.
I have watched several hours of your videos... and have enjoyed very much... My son has similar heart condition and this is first time I have heard you mention this even thought I have seen the scare in previous videos... I am just in awe in what you have been able to accomplish. He is very active in scuba divining now.. I remember when he had to get and ok to go and the doctors said well. we have never had someone with a valve replacement request that before. They gave him the ok to go and it has been very rewarding to see him to be able to do what he loves to do.... Just like your videos.. It is amazing what medical science can do. I have enjoyed your videos and hope you can continue to do what you love to do also.
This. This is what Yosemite was like years ago, just with less people. I grew up camping in Yosemite every year. There were always a lot of people, but you still felt the majesty of everything around you. In the face of all that was there, you feel so insignificant, as if nothing matters anymore. I hadn't been to Yosemite for years, but I remembered your Yosemite video. I finally went back after over a decade and my heart was broken. It wasn't the same Yosemite. It was so crowded, filled with traffic, almost commercialized. I understood what you meant about it being like an amusement park. I no longer felt the same connection to the power of nature I once felt. But seeing this video, seeing mt. Whitney, when you pulled up to the meadow and just looked at the almost photoshopped looking backdrop, I felt that same inspiration, even through a video screen. I just want to thank you guys for sharing your experiences and allowing those of us who can't embark on these journeys to experience them vicariously through you.
Yosemite National Park is still majestic even today. You just have to hike past all the typical tourist trails and you will be fine. We prefer Sequoia National Park as well as Kings Canyon National Park, less people there and just as grand. Have fun on the trails. --JY
Wow! Just wow! Seeing you push through your fears was nail biting! And Robby pushing through with that headache! Wow! And Andrew opening up about his illness! Wow! And Brian sitting on the sofa! Wow!
Great, great video. My favorite so far! Andrew, I will share this with my 16 year old daughter who has a congenital heart defect so she can see what can be accomplished!!
You guys really took it to another level with this adventure, both the physical climb and this awesome video. Kudos to all of you and thanks for the ride.
Andrew I am so glad u r doing well. Your parents must be proud of you. Your compassion and respect for life and nature is admirable. I wish you continued health and a long healthy life. Thank you and your team for sharing your adventures with us❤
Excellent professional photography, wonderful matching music, very balanced thoughts, visable friendship, sensible senses - very well done! Off we go to the cinemas!
Your episodes make us lazy! New era has come - we don't need to go to mountains but experience the hike on the screen 😎 can't move from the sofa now 😁 but welsh mountains are calling, feel extra motivation now 😁 thanks guys 👊
It seems like forever since I've seen you guys together on amazing adventures. I was bursting with comments throughout but now I'm just speachless. Amazing and inspiring work on the video guys. 100 thumbs up! Also thanks for not letting this video be interrupted by ads.
This is by far the best video that I have seen of the climb to Mt. Whitney from Whitney Portal. I myself have been to the summit, but I hiked to the top from the west side while hiking the PCT way back in 2011. The mountains in the west are epic, but my heart is and always will be with the Whites of New Hampshire, my backyard playground back in earlier times. Kudos to all of you for making it to the top. 👍
Really enjoyed, guys. Thanks. Hiked it with one other friend in 1976. Spent the night in the Smithsonian shelter, woke up at 2AM w/altitude headache and headed down in the moonlight. We were wildland fire fighters acclimating and working at 7000 elev on the El Dorado NF (Iron Mtn. Rd). Loved seeing "sky pilot" (the purple flower) again. Loves growing around 11,000 ft. Thanks again.
AWESOME! SO VIVID & COLORFUL ! GLAD YOU GENTLEMEN MADE IT SAFELY UP & BACK! THAT NOBODY IN THAT GROUP YOU WERE CHECKING ON WAS OK TOO! BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS! ENJOYED!
I love your knowledge of the plants and animals. The video is super clear and great background music. I'm only about 1/8th of the way through. I lived in Ca for 40 years and love the area!
Thank you for the beautiful video, you show the trail in such detail, the pacing is perfect. I liked the quietness, and the gentle music. I'm not sure I would be brave enough, so thank you for taking me there!
Very well professionally organized video. I guess you guys spend a lot of time to prepare and taking shots for video. It's not easy. Thanks for sharing. I went there it was beautiful but not really easy to climb because I had to hurry up. I couldn't enjoy the surrounding because I had to go to work the very next day. But now I'm enjoying your beautiful video with my memories. Thanks again showing it.
happened to come across your channel when researching Yosemite trips, i love it! All your thoughts on the trail and after the trip really hook me up with your channel. i think it takes a lot effort to make the video including the editting and background music, they all seems well-planned. I would image you need to run back and forth on the trail to get all four of you hiking in the trail, unless you have a fifth guy.. LOL love you guys from San Jose, Cali.
I teared up when Andrew was speaking about his heart condition and his parents love and dedication...so sweet and kind!
Agreed! Bravo Men! I loved this video!
What heart condition does he have? My son has one too
I'm a retired Cardiologist and was just curious what congenital abnormality he had taken care of?
Me too!That was special! Thank you Andrew's Mom and Dad, nice boy you raised up there!
Yes, me too, just now
It is amazing enough to have climbed that mountain, but to have filmed it is outrageous. Unbelievable.
Amazing journey. Imso happy for the 3 of youthat you made it to the top.
It took ages, millions of years of a very chaotic and slow process, continents and tectonic plates collided, to push massive portions of land up towards the sky.
When you climb a mountain, you're paying tribute, not only to your health, but also, to those millions and millions of years of unfathomable transformation.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
great job capturing how grueling that last 1.9 miles to the top is. So close, yet so far
VERY well done 7X Whitney veteran here. First climbed it in ‘71. Now, I AM 71 ! (Sucks) But it was a pleasure to watch you young bucks grunt up the peak (not the least because of near-professional grade cinematography)

Great video! I’m 63 years young with a pacemaker - and I’m inspired / encouraged by your trip to do this adventure.
Even after watching many times, still one of our very favorites! Sue and Ton

Summited Whitney on 10/04/2021. This video inspired me to do it. Andrew telling about his congenital heart disease was really touching. All the best you guys!! You rock.
Ok, I have to re-watch this episode every few weeks. The storytelling is amazing and the music is perfectly framing and supporting the whole thing!
You all set a goal, worked to achieve it and did! That’s the accomplishment!

Is there anything better than a starscape time-lapse?! Beautiful.
Probably not! Haha, thanks for watching-Thomas
1 hr and 4 mins of my life not wasted , great viewing.
+brissifirey Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching :) -Andrew
Mt. Whitney was worth my time and energy. It was beautiful and I’m so glad to have been able to climb it.
Wow, what amazing scenery
A wonderful experience to see you all complete your challenge! Thank you Andrew for sharing a part of your life. I am happy you are able to be your best physical self due to the care of your parents for your heart condition.
This vlog deserves a million +++ Subscribers.
Enjoy, watch, relax and learn.
Very very happy can see the new MT miss you An
Definitely a different approach to the standard mountain hike video ... kind of where video meets zen poetry. I liked it.
Thank you so much! I love that description, it's very flattering :) Glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for watching!

This was such a well made video. Planning to do Whitney this summer...so this was very informative
Thanks so much! Here's another video we did on preparing for the climb, which hopefully will help: ruclips.net/video/fDjb2FUtews/видео.html

Good to see you around musicisbrilliant!
Hardest I've laughed at one of their videos
This is a masterpiece
“But when we left, the mountain left its mark on us”. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Great video
These Adventure Archives videos are amazing!!!!!

The camaraderie between the three of you is exemplary. I also enjoyed Andrew explaining about the flora and the medicinal value of the plants.

The best Mt. Whitney hiking documentary that I have seen!! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!!
That was wonderful. Thank you
These full episodes are addicting to binge watch I think I found this channel at the right time
The quality of this show has come such a long way. Amazing job everyone. And thanks for inviting me ;(
It truly is the "the range of light".
Wow! Just wow! Seeing you push through your fears was nail biting! And Robby pushing through with that headache! Wow! And Andrew opening up about his illness! Wow! And Brian sitting on the sofa! Wow!
The ending of this documentary is awesome. Love the group.
Thank you for the vicarious experience. As a teacher, I love your narration and the thoughtfulness you add to your commentary. Lovely, lovely work.

Bravo on the music guys. Seriously appropriate, professional, exceptional!
You guys really took it to another level with this adventure, both the physical climb and this awesome video. Kudos to all of you and thanks for the ride.
That wagbag story from Robby was brilliant.
Also, this is easily one of your best videos. I love you guys so much.
Best episode yet👍👍 the ending 😂
Probably my favorite AA video due to the beautiful views and commentary.
Andrew I am so glad u r doing well. Your parents must be proud of you. Your compassion and respect for life and nature is admirable. I wish you continued health and a long healthy life. Thank you and your team for sharing your adventures with us❤
Excellent professional photography, wonderful matching music, very balanced thoughts, visable friendship, sensible senses - very well done! Off we go to the cinemas!
Your guys videography and the way that you captured the mountain was soooo beautiful. Congratulations guys very impressive work!!!
i love you guys!
Your episodes make us lazy! New era has come - we don't need to go to mountains but experience the hike on the screen 😎 can't move from the sofa now 😁 but welsh mountains are calling, feel extra motivation now 😁 thanks guys 👊
It seems like forever since I've seen you guys together on amazing adventures. I was bursting with comments throughout but now I'm just speachless. Amazing and inspiring work on the video guys. 100 thumbs up! Also thanks for not letting this video be interrupted by ads.
Well do we have some good news for you! Someone may be joining the crew full time pretty soon...
OH my gosh!!!! hilarious end!!! Brian and his "climbing a mountain" and the errrmm wagbag stories. maaan!
The BEST youtube video I've ever watched. Awesome job guys. I'm inspired and entertained!
You Guys....you are creative men who describe the beauty of a hike! Move on one step at a time..
this is the most amazing whitney video EVER. WOW
WOW!! That campsite by the huge waterfall!! wowzaaa!
This is by far the best video that I have seen of the climb to Mt. Whitney from Whitney Portal. I myself have been to the summit, but I hiked to the top from the west side while hiking the PCT way back in 2011.

Very well done gentlemen. Great soundtrack.
thanks guys
Your videos are unpretentious and very helpful. Good karma to you all and thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed, guys. Thanks. Hiked it with one other friend in 1976. Spent the night in the Smithsonian shelter, woke up at 2AM w/altitude headache and headed down in the moonlight. We were wildland fire fighters acclimating and working at 7000 elev on the El Dorado NF (Iron Mtn. Rd). Loved seeing "sky pilot" (the purple flower) again. Loves growing around 11,000 ft. Thanks again.
AWESOME! SO VIVID & COLORFUL ! GLAD YOU GENTLEMEN MADE IT SAFELY UP & BACK! THAT NOBODY IN THAT GROUP YOU WERE CHECKING ON WAS OK TOO! BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS! ENJOYED!
Fantastic. Just... Fantastic. Wow. So good.
I love your knowledge of the plants and animals. The video is super clear and great background music. I'm only about 1/8th of the way through. I lived in Ca for 40 years and love the area!
Thank you all for the beautiful journey. Fantastic video
Really really enjoyed this! I agree with you on the altitude Robby. The breaths aren't as satisfying.
Thank you for the beautiful video, you show the trail in such detail, the pacing is perfect. I liked the quietness, and the gentle music. I'm not sure I would be brave enough, so thank you for taking me there!
Where have you guys been all my life!!! We"ll done! You guys are an inspiration. Love the music too!
Very well professionally organized video. I guess you guys spend a lot of time to prepare and taking shots for video. It's not easy. Thanks for sharing. I went there it was beautiful but not really easy to climb because I had to hurry up. I couldn't enjoy the surrounding because I had to go to work the very next day. But now I'm enjoying your beautiful video with my memories. Thanks again showing it.

Really wonderful!
You guys make some of the best hiking videos on RUclips. Thank you!
happened to come across your channel when researching Yosemite trips, i love it! All your thoughts on the trail and after the trip really hook me up with your channel. i think it takes a lot effort to make the video including the editting and background music, they all seems well-planned. I would image you need to run back and forth on the trail to get all four of you hiking in the trail, unless you have a fifth guy.. LOL
love you guys from San Jose, Cali.
