Rick travels to the Purcell Mountains in British Columbia to hike the Mt. Nimbus Via Ferrata.

Rick Mercer..... My hero, my idol, my fave Canadian comedic genius!!!!!! Wow, just wow!

[@LeeMarieHarder]

What an amazing ambassador Rick Mercer is for our great Canada! Want to try this, if Rick can, I can! LOL!

[@colleentrozzo2596]

Rick - you make us proud to be Canadian! That was the most amazing video, my heart was in my throat with you every step. One for the bucket list!!

[@GammieT]

I'm going to Google to see if Rick Mercer has ever been given the Govern General Award. If anyone deserves it, it's Rick. Not only does he introduce us to the "everyday Canadians, he keeps us informed about our Government and shows us our Canada...from coast to coast and every stop in between. Thank you, Mr. Mercer.

[@margloga]

I am very glad I saw this because now I know I will never want to do this. However... great entertainment Mr. Mercer! Thank you!

[@GaryJones2012]

When he fell through the bridge I don't know if that was real or a set-up. Either way that's when I would have started screaming like a little girl. I can't believe he made jokes and was so calm when where he was standing looked so terrifying. Rick is amazing. He has lived a thousand lifetimes already and no doubt has more in him.

[@nigelhawthorn6425]

it was a setup as in one shot before hand you can see a cut in one of the baords. However the whole looks utterly terrifying!

[@Sue3565]

Rick Mercer... you do my heart good.

[@GammieT]

I had to delete so much information....but...YAY!!!! He has been awarded for his excellence!!! Good job!

[@GammieT]

Mercer has received more than 25 Gemini Awards for his television work. Newfoundland premier Clyde Wells honoured Mercer with the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council's Artist of the Year award. In 2004, Mercer was presented with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He donated his $15,000 cash prize to the LSPU hall, the theatre in Newfoundland where Mercer performed his early work.

[@behave57]

OMG! I am dizzy from watching this! Good for you Rick Mercer.. I think I would have stopped somewhere near the bottom!

[@ArcticArsenal]

I wonder if Rick had to change his shorts after that trick with the step on the bridge.

[@skyebird3933]

Amazing! I'm an Ohio native but a Rick Mercer fan. Love seeing Canada.

[@britney901]

I was thinking at the start of the video that I wanted to try this someday, but by the end, no thanks.

[@DCARA06]

Good for you Rick! I would have cried in the middle of that bridge, well actually I probably would have been crying the entire time!

[@hathuylinh]

God, I'm puking just watching it

[@74sickness]

I would love to do this looks stunning

[@nickanderson1311]

and Im proud to say that I know the people who did it because my parents work for Canadian Mountain Holidays. and you rappel down the mountain face to get to the heli-landing

[@hmrhuang]

With my acrophobia, no way in HELL I'd be able to do this! Thanks to Rick Mercer, I get to live this experience vicariously! =)

[@hestheman929]

Pretty sure I'd shit my pants on that bridge.

[@maxjohkna]

All I could think at the end of this was "AREA SYNCHRONIZED". Even so, a highly entertaining video, albeit a slightly harrowing one.

[@jellyfish1068]

LOL

[@DCARA06]

He's Canadian and it's a Canadian show all shot in Canada. 8-)

[@astrid420]

Same here...One look down, then crying and refusing to move.lol

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

Well that was terrifying by proxy...

[@cheerfulbutterflies1025]

You scared the shit out of me! I would never do that! Wow!

[@acpren]

Noop, not on my bucket list, but kudos to you for putting it on yours.

[@ant-1382]

Have a morbid fear of hights. Just watching this, makes my skin crawl! Could not do it!!🤢

[@melf_1]

Ha Ha Ha!!!! "For 5 hours?!?!"

[@penguingirl03]

I think in that circumstance i woulda been clutching the largest sturdiest boulder i could find til someone could tranquilize me and air lift me out

[@Sharekable]

On the best planet in the solar system

[@boipinoi604]

Fortune favours the bold. Fearless with mountains. Fearless with public speaking. Fearless with politics.

[@GammieT]

one more mini comment....I wonder who the ONE person is that disliked this video?

[@lilkitten545]

haha, pleasant :p

[@camerond8176]

So when does the helicopter come to take me down.....................

[@VertigoBear]

Nope! Nope! Nope! He's cuckoo for cocoa puffs!

[@jb95467]

Jeez bro, chill. It's called being facetious. Sure, I'm American and like living here. Doesn't mean I arbitrarily rate it as better than everyone else, think that every other country is inferior, etc. I was merely making a mild troll joke. You find those on the internet occasionally. Try Reddit or Imgur to learn more.

[@VirginiaCanada]

how do you get down?

[@e2mwpg]

Probably zip line or BASE jump. ;)

[@superskiier50]

Your Ad Here or climbing down, its really not that hard. (that is unless you have a heavy backpack on, in which case, i will ask, Did you plan on camping?)

[@cathiearchibald8895]

you climb for a bit and then you rappel 180'!! Just did it. Awesome!

[@lilkitten545]

He is..and?

[@deatja]

Lol

[@JoyDivisiongirl]

i can only wonder what it would be like to hike down...no thanks, i would rather fl y down in a wind suit....wheee............

[@jb95467]

I thought he was Canadian.

[@Kiddalee]

While I agree with you that the US is not the best country in the world, I think Sweden might be better.
