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!

That creepy dummy was donated by Disney.

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

Stumbled across your channel searching for vids on old bases. I use to live on base from 90-92. Typical Navy family station time. I've lived in many places but this was my favorite and most memorable as it was my dad's last duty station. I can remember the day the Gulf War began. George Bush Sr was in office. Alameda NAS was still the Carl Vinson's home port. I lived in Officer's housing just outside the East gate that I always thought was the main gate. The A-7 Corsair is on the stick at this gate. Not sure if its still there. Many good memories. Thanks for making this.

I recently acquired a flight helmet from the 90th that was named to a Mark Sheeter, Callsign "Skeeter", did your dad happen to know of Mr. Sheeter. Sheeter was with them around the 1991 time frame.

01:58 thats called a canopy dawg... and there aint no ejection seat on an E-2. Bailout parachute only option

Thank you for posting this beautifully edited video. It looks like my trip with RMI overlapped with yours. I summitted on June 2, and the group was led by Dave Hahn. I can't tell what date yours was, but my grey pack and white/red helmet are there in the video at 3:18.

Great video! You should do a video on your gear list, or do you have a list somewhere?

My dad served on the USS MIDWAY CVA-41 in Vietnam

Just did this route last week and it was mega

There was no ejection on the E-2. Hatch above each pilot. 1 hatch in back for the 3 crewmembers. CPO, USN, RET, 69-94

The F-14 with the wrong stick in it 😂

Did you encounter any aliens?

This is sick you gotta head to red rocks in nevada for some more awesome multipitch stuff

Awesome route. Herb seems like a really cool dude too.

Bro wtf is an 80 year old man doing up there? Got bored with bingo?

Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Nel 1994 feci la solitaria della normale , la cresta Est. 1250 m. il dislivello, diff. Max 4+ Questo sarebbe stato il programma. Ma circa dopo 500 dalla base mi sbagliai e mi aprii una variante sulla parete N , a dx della cresta. Nella relazione la valutai di 500 m. , diff. 6a/b , difficile da valutare da slegati con 700 m. di vuoto sotto. Ripresi poi la cresta e alle 14 circa mi trovai sulla cima. Lo dissi alle guide alpine nella casetta del parco ma ignorarono le mie parole. Senza credermi quindi. In quei giorni ero in forma. Mi spettava ľHalf dome e il Capitan nelle settimane successive.

Hi Nick, welcome to the Castleton club!!! I could see your emotion at the top. I get it, I literally had tears at the same spot. My summit was at age 55, I am still climbing now at 60!! I watched every KZbin video of Castleton, yours does the best job of showing the journey.

I used a Rainier beer can as a weed bong three years in a row🤷

Your guides were probably smoking dope and woke up when ever they wanted. I usually bumped up from from Muir to Ingram for summit push which was a 1000 feet higher. Also we stayed at Ingram another night which allowed us to actually enjoy the climb. RMI is a terrible boot camp experience

Did Ingram twice and disappointment once route 99-2001. Best advise is my good gear and take breaks but never ever quit.

10:25 "After another hearty freeze dried dinner". No such thing exists.
