It’s Denali and always will be Denali.

Good job brother man That sure is a beautiful place.

2:59 Sorry REI, how 'bout this, you issue two bear canisters, one for food, and one for human waste... because putting both in the same one is not "a little weird", that's a deal breaker.

Poetic narration, what a treat in addition to the video. I dig it. Love mt.baker! Onward to watch more of your climbs

does the name c l i n ton ring a bell as to why many bases were shut down? mare island? now vallejo is a crap hole? geez aww no, thats not why...b u m camps? gee what a shock

Great video! What route is this?

When I was little, Dad used to go up there for his training duty (he was a communications officer attached to carriers) and we all got to stay at the BOQ in the late 1960's. I still remember us going to have breakfast at the Officers Club. They made the best bacon and eggs ever. And that was the only time I ever got to walk up the gangway on the USS Constellation. Got piped aboard and everything, that was exciting to a 5 year old lol

I have blood pressure issues, but I would love to do what you do. People dont understand how much harder Denali is to climb than Everest. 1) You can only safely reach it by a few hour plane ride. 2) Its 3,000+' taller than Mt Everest from Base to Summit. 3) There isnt nice pathways carved ahead by Sherpa and marched over by 300+ people, at Denali. 4) The weather is FAR less forgiving than in Nepal. Kudos bro, this is a feat of legendary status. Denali only lets the best reach its peak.

That’s going to me one day

Memories. 70’s sailor here. Lot of activity back then.

Awesome!

Hey, fun to reminisce with you about the Grand. Summited back in the late 80's with my brother and cousin. We also used Jackson Hole Mountain Guides.

I went to this ship in my summer vacation

Just got here from the Grand Teton video. I said it there and I’ll say it again here for the algo, really like your storytelling and editing style. These adventures are absolutely epic my man! Livin’ the dream!

Great video, man. Really liked your style of storytelling and editing. Would love to get out there to do this one day.

I grew up in the east bay and loved coming here for fleet week as a kid. Will never forget wandering around the carriers: Carl Vinson and Enterprise 💪🏻

insane you guys

Great video - thank you for doing this! I was stationed there from 86-89 at SIMA SF (on NAS Alameda). As others have said, brings back a lot of good memories. I live out of the area now, so it's nice to get a little tour of the base, and you did it well.

Do you need a permit to backpack there to pitch a tent?

3:53, my dad said they used to drag race there when he was first stationed there.

🔥

That was quite incredible. Thanks for making this for us who want to live that vicariously.

Absolutely fantastic Nick

I would have ditched the watch and wedding ring

why not have two separate canisters for the food and poop? I would never put my food in there

I've seen people do this solo. Not sure how advisable that is.

Awesome catch!!! Trout is my ultimate favorite.

What type of fly lure did you use? Awesome catch!

Boy; A lot of huffing & puffing !

It is going in a giant ants’ nest. The sloth will

Congratulations, great video

What a great video. If you have not already done so, I hope you will visit the Alameda Naval Air Museum, open Saturdays 10-3 p.m. across the Seaplane lagoon from the Hornet.

Came to check on your channel to see if you had done the Denali climb… and you had! congrats man, and thanks for going out of your way to make these videos! Seriously go out of my way to watch them… so thank you, and congratulations! Cannot wait to see your future adventures!

I'm in my last 2 weeks of my Docents course. I love the guest interaction I get when I'm on board. The Veteran Docents are a wealth of historical information. If anyone gets the chance to visit, please take time to talk to these heroes.

Excellent videography and narration! I too stayed at the Swiss Alaska Inn and flew with K2 Aviation (with Jim Okonek, the founder) in 1986 on my first Denali expedition. You were wise in choosing a guided approach, not just for improved summit odds, but because you get to learn about how to approach the mountain, when to be patient and when to move out. Blessings, Steve

Whoah what a great video!

Awesome work Nick!

Stationed there

Wow super cool video! Want to do the tour in some weeks. Is a 70m rope long enough to rapell?

Been waiting so long for this!

Commenting for the algorithm, amazing story!

great production, the commentary was so peaceful n calming and great captures. ty for the experience

Sensational Nick - was hooked from the 1st minute. Amazing production. So proud of what you’ve achieved mate.

incredible video! Thanks for the upload in amazing quality. Fellow climber from Alberta, Canada

I learned a couple days ago that Adm. Pettigrew has passed away. I am very grateful we shared this conversation and for all the others over beers in San Diego. He was a shining example of patriotism and honor. Rest in peace Viper.

I was his controller on May 6, 1972. At our first MIG Killers Debrief, He introduced me as "The Voice of GOD". ACE

RIP Viper - A true legend.

Reported there after A school in Memphis ,, Air launched weapons school for 6 weeks ,, did line handling party for the mighty O cv -34 coming back from there last west pac cruise late feb and march of 1976

Thx for posting these videos
