Kichatna: A Big Wall First Ascent In The Alaskan Range

[@adammiller9179]

"Each of us loved alpinism, but also carried it as a burden." With nowhere near the experience as these guys, I still completely relate to that statement.

[@dylancolon5871]

Yeah alpine climbing has produced some of the most joyful and horrible moments of my life. It's definitely a love-hate relationship, but leaning towards love.

[@matthewtraver2895]

This is the kind of content that fuels the stoke of so many ambitious young climbers out there. Beautiful videography, great commentary, splitter weather and an adventurous story. It's the kind of moving video makes you take the time to leave comment to simply say, thanks. I no doubt will watch this over and over until I am able to pick and kick my way up a climb next season. Bravo gents. Climb on and climb high.

22 and wanting to get into alpine climbing, I will do it!

[@matthewtraver2895]

@@Thomson07 With that mentality, you will. Never stop growing, learning and chasing. Climb on dude.

[@conserve_climber]

Perfect project…I love it; the perfect climb. Thank you for not over dramatizing the event…some times it’s perfect and “that” needs to be celebrated 🎉 well done all

[@EpicTV]

Thanks for watching Scott 🙌

[@TheJournalofLostTime]

Glad you liked it!

[@dr.pepper8397]

what a video! The beautiful simplicity is of the storytelling is artful. No manufactured drama, no over the top product placement, no bs. Paired with a script the reads like the work of HDT or Jack London, absolute masterpiece!

[@jilliannoble00]

I live vicariously through these videos

[@carolineray2155]

Incredible...sweet and concise... amazing cinematography.

[@ProtectOurWinters_]

Woo! Way to go Graham and Oliver!

[@mrbronkify]

Priceless

[@lostinthewoodsproductions]

Excellent storytelling! Loved the ending!

[@Bustercruz]

Nice! It's such a satisfying feeling when you get to land and get right on a climb. Makes all the trips were you mostly sit in your tent worth it!

[@EpicTV]

Very true 🙌

[@kamikazemelon787]

Really awesome. That opening music reminded me a lot of the soundtrack for The Long Dark - very beautiful!

[@PublicPoll]

Amazing! Thanks for bringing this to us

[@ExpedLLC]

Amazing as always Graham

[@jamespirino887]

Beautifully documented…

[@EpicTV]

🙏🙏

[@magnetronrud711]

Great video, guys! Perfectly understandable with bolts in such a serious route. And especially for the rappells over clean slabs. I can’t get that ski-setup out of my mind. Details, details! Wich brand and bindings are these? Looking for the same 😃

[@jakelannetti3128]

Inspiring, great to see these dudes getting after it.

[@EpicTV]

🙌 thanks for watching Jake

[@sunslastphase]

Stunning! Pure excellence.

[@indianjimmrmc]

real cool black crystal found while climbing!

[@jiricertner2674]

Awesome👍

[@neodymkonzept113]

Cool ski setup, I have never seen before! Does someone know, how you call this crampon boot/ski adapter binding?

[@Mikael_J]

Looks like a Silvretta 404 or similar binding.

[@jeremedrakeFUFL]

You where bout 40 miles from where I spend all summer at the mouth of the kitchatna river super cool video man I'm a fishermen in ak but it dosnt matter wat u do alaska just dose that to people

[@WayOffTrack]

Totally amazingly amazing ❗ WOW ❗ ....the only question I have is .....how the hell did you find that place ❓❓ Cheers to you 🎶🎷

[@xObscureMars]

Out of all those mountains, how do you all pick the routes? Seems like there would be millions of unexplored routes in all the world. Oh and one more question. How do u all afford over a dozen expeditions there and all the other places obviously?

[@VandyMan84LA]

It's so amazing and terrifying how there's no way to really sustain yourself if you get stranded. No food sources, only snow, no trees or visible caves or methods of heating yourself up. It's like, ski out as far as you can each day...or wait for rescue.

[@vaughnrodriguez2627]

Does anyone have any idea what ski bindings they’re using? Just got a pair of phantom techs and looking to build a rig to ski in with using my ice boots.

[@날다람쥐송]

영상 최고네요~

[@chronic2464]

Nice

[@EpicTV]

🙌

[@jacobjdong]

3:27 can anyone direct me on what kind of ski bindings those are? is it a version of the silvretta 404 / 500 or ramer binding or maybe newer? seems to fit automatic crampon boots..

[@brianrodman1033]

I would suggest reaching out to one of the climbers on social media to see about getting an answer from one of them. Just in case they are using something new and really cool that has advantages over the old standbys.

[@sethandersonmedia661]

Simple as that!

[@TraderZH]

great video, however voice to music ration is a little uneasy to listen to. background music is too loud. just something i noticed 🙂

[@vnderrr]

awww you guys bolted that shit

[@ccdemuthjr]

Venn Diagram of people who make big wall first ascents and use the word "stoked" just a single circle.⭕

[@martinluther5338]

Coming to the middle of Alaska with a plane, a good american idea

[@vanmore5124]

can't hear it

[@michaeljoefox]

Settle down on the thesaurus and the idioms.

[@tom2savoie75]

This has almost no value when you fly to the foot of the mountain.
