So I tried climbing a mountain

[@HeatherSealey]

Love that you're also a geologist. I too harass all of my hiking buddy's with nerdy explanations of the surrounding geology lol

[@alexanderwest5860]

whats underrated is you knowing your limits, seeing the peak and going "nah mate, ill be right" and going back, a lot of times people with experience think they can do it and push on and sometimes it ends in tragedy ive climbed a lot of mountains in Georgia (country), and Australia and sometimes its okay to just admit you cannot finish it whilst youre slipping, i just imagine the simpson where homer rides the frozen guy down and could only think they need slides from the top, lol also i enjoyed watching your nerding out on your geology excrusion :D

[@bobsanders5232]

I was so confused when I saw this on my subscriber feed so I skipped to 9:26 and it all clicked, I didn’t know I needed this specific blend of content

[@BuddyWudzyn]

Awesome video. From America but lived in Palmerston north for 3 months. Impressive switch from game content to this!

[@Alex-Phillips]

Thanks! I'll probably keep it focused on gaming while I'm in Auckland but you never know. Did you like Palmerston?

[@georgeclaymore5266]

Thanks for showing this, bro! Great video!~

[@zacwilhite3247]

Great video. Looks like it was an awesome time out.

[@xavierhirini2732]

Thought you were done for there mate, glad you made it!!! 👍

[@Flametalia]

When you're so good at zomboid you start narrating IRL as well XD

[@Alex-Phillips]

I expect to hear my own voice narrating mundane tasks soon enough.

[@miarubyy]

Watching you be cold in taranaki is much better than being cold in taranaki ty Alex

[@wonderland4267]

it’s wild to me that i got stuck binging your PZB challenges the other day, not even realising that we have the same accent and were in the same city…

[@Alex-Phillips]

Always nice to meet another jafa ❤️

[@coolersnoipah173]

you will never be a real woman

[@whamuwu7865]

Incredible video!!! I'd love more variety like this in your channel, great work climbing!!

[@Enlightenmentbringer]

Degree in geology but deal with water instead, the enemy of all lithified material. Love seeing a personal video outside of the great content you bring with Project Zomboid! Keep it up.

[@WeBuildStuuff]

Love love love this video! Makes me wanna go on a hike (maybe not as steep) 😅

[@WeBuildStuuff]

Or cold!

[@DemenciaNotDementia]

Damn. That ice was so thicc it puts Lizzo to shame.

[@HeatherSealey]

That was awesome. Thanks for taking us along! I've done some epic mountain hikes here in the Yukon, but nothing quite like that! Wonder what the windchill was like at the top there - it must have felt much colder than -11C!

[@Alex-Phillips]

Over the ridge it got bad, prior to then I was already feeling the cold and stopping to take in the summit didn't help either. Glad you liked it!

[@Myriako]

Thank you for this video! 😀🌹

[@thepolishnz]

Jaffa in wellington: this is hell Everyone else in Auckland: this is hell

[@ashleesannazzaro]

Sick wheels.

[@theparaminuteman]

I demand more IRL geology content

[@eggdressing]

The geology goes HARD and i liked it

[@PolicyofIllusion]

You didn't seem to pull any zeds while driving, what car mod were you using?

[@Alex-Phillips]

Japanese Imports mod. It was a low pop run and I tried to keep the mods vanilla+ with a focus on wilderness survival (mainly exposure).

[@PriceAintRight]

Nice. New Alex jawn to watch.

[@ryanfeeney5909]

This dude just makes fun content

[@Kaylas_Customs]

I have to Agree with Wonderland there ,,, Keep it up Looking forward to your Next part in Aucks .. If ya ever need a Tow I got you ,Hehe:)

[@the_unstoppable_doge8078]

Awesome!

[@roguenzv8]

Thats my son

[@sonicsound84]

Who did you go with?

[@Alex-Phillips]

I went with a mate who wanted to get me into hiking. They didn't want to be shown on camera or feature heavily which is fair enough.

[@sonicsound84]

@@Alex-Phillips Cool! Yeah, no prob. Was just curious. 🙂

[@RobThaDestroyer]

What the flip is a kilometer

[@Alex-Phillips]

It's the amount of murders for every mile covered. NZ is not a safe place.

[@arekmak]

tf is a jeffer?

[@Alex-Phillips]

*Jafa. It means Just Another Fucking Aucklander and is a slang kiwi term for those jealous of the best city in the country.

[@whatistruth101]

2million years he says, wow did you get that number out of your ars?

[@Alex-Phillips]

Pulled out of memory and under duress lol but fair enough. I did some digging and found a paper with the age of the Whanganui basin referenced and I included a KZbin link which goes into more detail as it's a pretty interesting area. I hope you enjoyed the vid despite my chronic lack of references! Reference: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0037073898000979 More Info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIGsYZyIg7iHnrc
