I Climbed the TALLEST Mountain in North America!

[@nicksymmonds]

Only 275 humans have ever climbed to the top of all 50 US states. I am honored to be one of this group of crazy people! Next up: Everest. I leave for Nepal on March 31, 2025.

Just sat next to Nick on a plane back from Boise. A grandma was bragging about her grandson meeting Tim Tebow, not knowing she was sitting next to an Olympian. He never said a word about himself. Shows what a humble guy he is! But I am glad he was only joking to me about being out of the KZbin game hahaha

As someone who has been in a few of your events. I am extremely happy to see you back!!! You've managed to conquer one of the hardest feats humanly possible on this planet. Seriously, climbing denali is no joke. The highest I've currently climbed is Mount Adam's which I did at 11 years old while sick. (Still the hardest thing I've done in my life.) I haven't hiked in a pretty long time though unfortunately, but I would still really like to mountains like: hood, south sister, middle sister, Saint Helens, maybe even killimanjaro when I'm a bit older! Anyway. I'm glad to see you back on KZbin. I've missed you a lot over the past 9 months. And I wish you the best of luck on Mount Everest!

THE LEGEND RETURNS

[@iRunfastXC]

23:40 when the guy ahead drops to his knees, I felt that. Also, Nick, I spent over half my life trying to break 16 minutes in the track 5K. I finally did it this year, at the age of 29. I had the exact same emotions. Couldn’t stop crying, not because I was excited that it was done, but almost devastated that the goal was gone. It was like an old friend. At the same time, it was like something that had held me captive, trapped me. And I was free. There’s just some thing about those goals that you fight with for over a decade.

[@hankruthefordhill]

14:50 thats what I do when i have to do my 2 minute sprints, i break it down into 10 seconds and then tell myself only 11 times more 😂

[@chaumht]

This is so inspirational. I have had a tough week at work but after seeing this I am so motivated again because of you. Thank you!

[@davidtoomey4712]

It's nowhere near Denali but I did the Salkantay Trek in Peru in April (15,000 ft) and watching Nick's altitude acclimation and the oxygen readouts really brought me back. Super important to take time to acclimate, hydrate, deep breaths, and some caffeine. The headaches in the morning and after naps were rough for me at first. Your body doesn't know to breath faster/deeper while asleep. I imagine people with severe sleep apnea experience similar oxygen deprivation at night. Not a good feeling, but the body is resilient and adapts to the altitude with time. Grateful that I didn't get too sick and had an unforgettable experience

[@Tornnnado]

oh man i did the salkantay trek too and the altitude was kinda crazy 😅 luckily i had a few days in cuzco beforehand so it wasn't too bad

My heart rate got to 165 on the Assault bike regularly and I felt like I wanted to pass out. I couldn’t imagine being on a mountain having my heart stay at that rate. Congratulations Nick. I got emotional watching him get emotional because you could only imagine the joy reaching the summit.

[@praanjalwason8567]

you're an inspiration to me i swear . like dude seriously your videos and mentality hats off dude hats fucking offff !!! i cried when you cried reaching the top of the summit , i know that feeling and sooo wanna enjoy that feeling of accomplishment , the feeling of beating my emotions and my own inner negative voices down and getting something so incredible done , we people are like on a mission to give our bodies our minds the extremes and demanding from them to go above the threshold and do the things . i love your videos and the mentality of never stopping never stooping down on the past and just wish i could go back , i wanna live like you on my own journey . SUCH AN INSPIRATION !! love you Nick Symmonds and am truly honored to have subscribed to your channel , thankyou so much for just being who you are !!

I've been waiting for your return. Your videos helped me through a hard time from July of 2023 until now. I was diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer last July and underwent 7 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, plus the recovery. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I am doing so much better than I had gotten to. Your videos gave me some real joy during some of the harder times, and I was sorry to reach your pause. I am stoked to see you back and really look forward to seeing your future endeavors.

[@ccbgaming6994]

This is insane bro congrats! It truly does pay to be fit

[@SarahRugheimer]

I summited the same day Nick did, he was in another team but we had chatted along the way. It's super interesting to hear a professional sports influencer take on this mountain. I'll tell you, it felt easier listening to him! It was hard! But he is an olympian.... Things he didn't mention - earlier in the season, there was a 50% of climbers had frostbite. Two people on our team had frostbite. I've climbed Denali twice and both times we've had a serious and deadly medical emergency. It's the single most beautiful place I've ever been. The ridge lines are quite steep on both sides and it doesn't look so bad in the video. Like Nick mentioned, he couldn't film on the most dangerous bits, which then always hard to show people. Most of the "no fall" zones are areas that are steep and right over crevasses. Depending on the conditions, if it's icy or not, then there is no possibility to self arrest. Getting that big snow fall at 11,000 feet made the conditions much safer in Squirrel Hill and Windy Corner, for example. Denali was a 12 year goal for me. Gorgeous mountain. Best wishes, Nick, next year on Everest!
