I'm also an unemployed mechanical engineer and I am just adding my name to list here in the comments

[@austinbentley4604]

As an employed software engineer, im A) so curious how you can stay unemployed for years at a time and still afford to do something like this and B) am not sure what those occupations have to do with this trip.

[@arnohl710]

As an student in engineering, this video gives me hope

[@spencershields9186]

Truly inspirational. You show everyone that you don't have to be a sponsored athlete to perform at that level, or go on that caliber of adventure.

[@CFRATT]

This is a straight documentary

[@g.fisher6602]

One of the most high energy and positive teams I have ever seen.

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Best film yet Tyler, keep em coming! Your storytelling & filmmaking skills really shine in this one.

[@rjsmith8053]

Your content is getting to the point where I get giddy when a new video drops. Love it, climb on dude!

[@mikeb5954]

so much hype after watching this - keep them coming Tyler.

[@weekendbikingwarrior360]

I've followed your content for ages, always loved it. This though... is off the scale. I consider this the best, most honest and engaging high altitude rock climbing expedition video I've seen in decades. Massive respect, I suggest you enter this film for International awards and accolades. THANK YOU!

[@zachbeckner295]

I don’t know how you’re channel hasn’t completed exploded in popularity! Top notch quality and filmmaking man!!

[@aidennova1143]

You always seem to be leveling up by a mile with your adventures. As a beginner trad climber your videos are super inspiring.

[@1994grantlewis]

This is a must watch for anyone looking to watch adams' mustache grow throughout the trip! Nice job gang!

Tyler, thanks for sharing your trip! With my 2 kids, pandemic, and the fires I have been able to enjoy the outdoors with your videos. I appreciate that since my mountain trips have been lacking for the past year!

[@goose33]

The pandemic should have made you go Into nature MORE

[@Maniac45864]

These videos are incredible. Thanks for posting it!

[@smiththrs03]

Dude, I started watching your videos to find mountains, this is sick. Great videos man, keep it up.

[@patroell]

Tyler I found your channel a couple of months ago due to my researching of climbing. I'm really new to climbing and have only been to the gym so far, but ironically I was already on this obsession of Kyrgyzstan because I'm learning Russian so I had already planned to visit Kyrgyzstan someday. So it was really cool seeing you and your awesome group of friends do this epic climb! It's amazing to watch the technique and the amount of fun you guys have! Can't wait to see more!

[@stanislavsubrt886]

Amazing footage. Thanks for bringing me back the memories from the area!!!

[@oysteinlons]

That film was really a pleasure to watch!

[@meridacavediver]

Another really great video. What I love about this is the free spirits. I am not blessed with that mentality and have often wondered what it’s like. Really great to see this type of stuff and the climbing is epic.

[@fazehasoon5559]

Unreal, best climbing content. Super inspirational

[@trentongingerich8770]

Thanks for the amazing video! I enjoyed every second.

[@piotrjurga3375]

Fantastic film and impressive ascents, thanks Tyler!

[@mathieubaptista]

Love it Tyler. Keep sharing your adventures.

[@puglet64]

Great video. My brother lived across the border in Kaz. I always wanted to ski in Kyrgyzstan. Climbing wasn’t on my radar, but this trip is inspiring. Bravo!

[@wilsonov87]

I am really into geomorphology and geology etc and I find your videos fantastic as you have an eye for AMAZING vistas of the landscape, and you also emphasise details of the rock too. Looks fantastic on a big screen. I like the chilled pace of your videos as I can really enjoy the surroundings, and get a wonderful feel for being there. Thanks for your thoughtful and skillful video making skills, along with being amazing climbers (and cooks!) A high calibre video and high calibre humans. Hats off!

[@BelovedJohnny]

Been waiting for this! Awesome stuff dude, as usual!

[@howler6490]

[@MichaelShuler]

The warm teabag face wash is awesome.. I'm seriously going to use that tip, my wife will look at me strange for a few minutes, then probably do it herself, heh.

[@howler6490]

Try it with camomile tea bag,really cuts through grease etc..

[@donsavage_0079]

I'm so fascinated by this lifestyle.

[@beauthetford7608]

Awesome video. I knew I should never have become an employed engineer

Cumbia Sombre el Mar at 17:11. That's a vibe on the vertical.

[@KariWickstrom]

Man some of those slings and ropes looks a bit fuzzy... What a beautiful place!

[@mikaelkazza]

Epic trip

[@Loner27neilGaming]

Anyone else tripped by the “we found some chairs” ???

[@timarnold6108]

Hi Tyler, first of all: very nice videos. I enjoy every single one of them. I actually like how you barely edit it, except for cutting of course. This style makes it kinda feel like being with you guys on your trips :) Anyways I wanted to ask you about your camera setup. I assume this is a GoPro? How long does your battery last? I have the GoPro Hero 7 and battery is a real pain in the ass and dies so quickly.

[@00114d]

Chair chess with trad hats on made this gold.
