    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!

    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!

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!

    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!!👍👍

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @AdventureArchives
      @AdventureArchives  4 года назад +2

      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!

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!

      @JulieMoranNE111 5 лет назад

      @@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!

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.

    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. 👍

    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!
