I love this too. But I'm old, and I have to say I'm glad I dozed off before whatever parts were life-threatening. I couldn't take watching scary stuff right now. I'm not afraid to die. Just don't wanna watch a young guy almost die. And I'd rather not die by falling.
@@jago76 I also have a fear of heights and even get that weird scared feeling when I watch videos of people pointing the camera down from precariously high vantage points. Oddly, my fears have not kept me from hiking up and over mountain passes on sketchy (to me) narrow trails. I never go alone though.

You are a brave soul, Tristan. No people, true climbing , breathtaking scenery, rugged landscapes with remarkable drone footage & camera work make SUVRVing the channel to subscribe to. Simply amazing. Seriously, is it harder to ascend or descend from a mountain top like that one ? I think I would be dreading climbing down. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️

It's both harder and easier in different ways. It's easier going down in the sense that you know what to expect. But it's harder going down because it's just more awkward to climb down. Thanks for watching!

I thought that was kind of foolhardy with no rope for going down. I climbed all through the 70s until my daughter was born, then toned it down to safer routes as there were people who needed me. Took my daughter on the JMT and we climbed Mt. Banner together. She wanted to do Mt. Ritter and I said it is a bit too technical for an 8 year old girl. She was bothered more by the damned mosquitos than the heights.

Personally, I found it really interesting that there was a 20 Peso bill in there. The image on the reverse side of the 20 Peso is a place I absolutely love called Monte Alban in Oaxaca, Mexico. I had the pleasure of visiting that site last summer and it's a really interesting set of ruins. I made sure to keep one of the bills when I came back as a memento of my trip out there because of how beautiful the depiction of the site is on the note. Always love a great Saturday morning episode from ya! Lookin' forward to the next one!
