Ocean To Asgard | Bronwyn Hodgins and Jacob Cook | Full Film

Last summer Bronwyn Hodgins, Jacob Cook, Thor Stewart and Zack Goldberg-Poch set out on a six week multi-sport expedition to Baffin Island in northern Canada. The team were extremely successful, putting up big first ascents on some of the world’s most iconic wilderness big walls.
Starting in the remote fly-in community of Pangnirtung, the four friends travelled by packraft up the ocean fjord and then continued by foot into the mountains. After climbing Mount Asgard (three times!) they got back in the rafts and paddled the raging, glacier-fed Weasel river to descend the valley. On their way downriver the team made an important stop, as a party of four they climbed the south ridge of Mount Thor, for Thor to stand on top of his namesake mountain!
During their 40 day human-powered adventure, through shared experience and hardship, the team formed friendships more meaningful than any summit. The film provides a window into what it felt like to be out there in a small team moving through a giant, remote landscape and the personal, human experiences of big wall expedition climbing.

28:20 The struggle of trying to shoot a video on the wall! Whenever the really cool stuff is happening its hard to get out the camera cause you've actually got to... you know... belay! haha. Loved this film guys! So much inspiration - makes us want to do a bigger trip somewhere!

[@DustinOutCamping]

I would love to know the thought process that led to: "You know what we need to down a glacier-fed alpine whitewater trip? An inflatable flamingo!" Fantastic trip and video.

[@comynshred]

This is easily one of the best expedition films of all time! Congrats everybody on such a memorable adventure!

[@larswillsen]

You didn't notice the 3 natives on one of the mountain sides .. 😆

[@crashnodrog1]

Thanx for sharing this beautiful video ! Nice one !

[@awaxysoul]

one of the absolute favorites

[@robertberg525]

Terrific film. A wonderful adventure among friends on one of the most remote islands in the world. My father built an airstrip up there for the U.S. Army during the Korean War. A place I'd love to visit.

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

Really good! Now that's what a proper adventure looks like!

[@largeformatlandscape]

Brilliant video - thanks for creating and sharing

[@Fujisan1998]

So good!! One of the best MTB films of this year in my book. Loved it. This is what mountain biking is about: riding bikes on mountains! Makes me want to plan a vacation to the alps (hi from Canada)!

[@Landolini]

Already listened to a podcast about this one, but this video told the story in a funnier, less climbing oriented way. Really looks like you had an amazing time.

[@jaypresentstrysomethingnew371]

Neat video!! Thanks for sharing your adventures! 🙏🙏🙏

[@amandamanopo166]

awesome 👏

[@arturoperez7182]

MOunt thor reminds me of the MATRIX

[@reneestone8400]

Omg I’m tripping out right now after watching this randomly tonight. I was in Akshayuk pass summer 2019 and saw your pink flamingo pack raft float by! And if that isn’t enough one of the kids climbing at the end is wearing a Camp Homewood hoodie which is from very very far away on Quadra Island where I live! Mind blown!! So cool!

[@chrish3030]

Best thing I’ve watched in ages, talk about living vicariously, fantastic stuff

[@jurgenkogel9823]

Bravo, You are strong and Real Friends! All The Best kameraden!

[@larsthorwald3338]

Normally, I can't stand the "aren't-we-a-cute-couple?" type of video, but this particular "aren't-we-a-cute-couple?" video was actually sort of engaging and fun.

[@isaacdavies78]

My absolute life ambition right here

[@ChrisCharlescole]

This is my new favourite KZbin video!! I burst out laughing when the inflatable flamingo first came out🤣

[@TheRackdog]

Absolutely brilliant, looks like you all had such a good time and the bond you all seemed to have with each other was amazing 👍

[@sebastienbutton778]

Thank you for acknowledging the colonial aspects of the sport and making an effort to connect with the local Inuit population!

[@dogbolterdave]

Totally agree, a beautiful and very necessary sentiment and acknowledgement

[@sandsmarc]

A totally necessary virtue signal. Genuflectis petfectis.

[@orondecowans8876]

You guys put this together so well , makes me want to get up and climb a rock or two. Love the energy and vibes great work !

[@jamie.norris]

Sleeping like that is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Props to you all. ..... sheesh.

[@princenabby1]

What a lovely movie. I especially liked the moments when Jacob Cook stopped clowning around and was more reflective and mature.

[@LorenzoMarsicano]

All of my friends are lazy as fuck and scared to death even thinking about climbing on a gym... I need new friends

[@dscottstoness2436]

Fantastic video - such emotional energy - such fitness. I plan to go in the summer. But at near 63 yrs, I expect that I will be less energetic than you. For me its the pictures. And not carrying the weight you carry. Great job.
