No one can truly appreciate how hard it is to film solo (at such high quality with so many different angles), especially on skis, feeling sick, with so much climbing. Well done as always Danny.

Dude you probably needed more Sodium! Plain water can throw off the electrolyte balance. Shout out to the CamelBak podium bottle though! Trust me, I was a puke-fest at Western States 100 bc I drank too much plain ice water. Also when you mentioned Grand Canyon R2R2R and feeling crappy again like that....that is an easy one to get dehydrated on....mix in altitude, tons of climbing, losing a lot in sweat (warmer conditions). The Top Ramen will deliver the sodium! In any case glad you made it down safe (despite being solo and feeling so sick). Big fan of the channel - keep up the excellent work!

Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: ZERO! Danny went all in and really stepped up the the plate (leaving a brown splatter in the snow) multiple times. Welcome back Skeletor! The stats for this adventure are truly huge. Very impressive. And with that...the Official Counter is retired. If you and the other Mediocres find yourselves back in Aspen, let's connect and I'll show you around.

BTW - That had to be your greatest puke fest ever. It sounded hideous. Hope you recover XD. You inspire me to do stupid and unrealistic adventures and now, more and more, I complete them (w/o dying).

I've never puked on a climb but I've felt "not good" many many x. The only thing that tastes ANY GOOD on a hard climb for me is orange gatorade and croissants and mebber some italian sausage and / or string cheese. Otherwise I won't eat, will get too far out of the energy curve, and will crash. You did a GREAT job with very challenging conditions. Fantastic video.
