The Denali Experience

[@droworldnow6600]

Thanks for the journey, and thanks for the memories. I was part of the 1989 US geological survey on Denali as the videographer. We put the monument that is currently up there along with re-measuring the summit with the first GPS which weighed 25 pounds back then. We were on the summit for over two hours, measuring the actual height linking with the satellites. Back then of course, all I had was a 20 pound VHS camera. Wish they had go pros and smart phones back then. Thanks for the journey. Good work.

Wow, incredible! Where can I watch this footage?? Would LOVE to see that expedition if possible!

[@droworldnow6600]

@@joeyvidaloca863 hi, unfortunately there is no completed edit that I can pass on of the expedition. At some point, I will try to put together some of the footage. I still have of the actual placement of the monument at the summit

[@jameskinney4543]

You’re a legend ! Thank you ❤

[@confluence_filmz]

@@droworldnow6600 Get that footage out to the people!! haha What a legend.

[@davidz241]

Great video. Lots of memories. I climbed Denali a decade ago when I was 67. Start early, train hard, there still may be time.

[@michael2m000]

24 years old here currently living in Alaska, Great video!

[@Kreezi]

this needs more views

[@segransegrani9695]

Dominic and Seth are two of the best guides I had. Congratulations on a major accomplishment!

[@BoliverMcShaznasty]

This was one of the best Denali documentaries I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing!!

[@sammc2601]

Great photography. The sky and views, so beautiful. I really enjoyed this video, thanks.

[@johnpaul041]

Awesome accounting of an iconic climb. My mountaineering days are behind me, but these kinds of videos take me back to a time in my life I truly miss. (I'm in Bend, too. Cool to see you taking off on this adventure from our little airport)

[@globaleyes840]

I came after watching David Lama's videos.. and this feels simple walk like hiking before the peaks he climbed..! But still so adventurous and beyond my reach of course..!

[@MichaelWeinberg]

Fantastic video!

[@henkkok9437]

That was a great presentation, thank you

[@afcans7301]

[@BigE15]

Glad I came across this video congrats on the summit!

[@gotwake77]

This is awesome! Great story telling and music 🙌🙌

[@heyhi510]

You could see where I live from the top 4000ft of Denali, by looking northeast.... to see Fairbanks. Nice film.

[@014london70]

That was some journey. Well done! 👍🏼

[@logophobia_]

when the algorithm does its magic. what an amazing video this and it needs more views for sure

[@isabellaasten9875]

That was an awesome video! I’ve always seen Denali from afar (I live in AK) but I’d never watched anyone climb it and your video was super cool to actually see that happen!

[@MillionDollarMullettt]

Great documentary man! This was incredible!

[@oiooio7879]

Great video really enjoyed it

[@thatoneguy5662]

criminally underrated, the production of this was great, music choice spot on, and the commentary was fantastic.

[@drj9506]

[@philipsutherin4518]

Denali dreaming. I feel the call

[@wildbillmcgrath]

What a great experience!!

[@DoubleChair]

Amazing video, keep it up!

[@seeda3473]

Wtf? I watched this whole thing and all that climbing and only about 10 seconds of footage from the summit? I didn’t even hear or see the celebration of reaching the summit. What a bummer!

[@jon_belcher]

coolest Denali video by far

[@miketausig4205]

Another superb video edit man. Absolutely superb. I gotta ask you…do have any fear of heights or are you simply over it?

[@lakota_stu]

You deserve WAY more subscribers

[@TimLufkin]

9 hour flight? From Bend? I think closer to 4+30

[@christopherherrera321]

Awesome video! Why is it so expensive? Is that just to get a permit/plane there or is that for all the gear combined

[@larsw.larsen4173]

Thanks😊

[@85jamesthorpe]

Hey Joey! Great video. I was curious which cameras you used...GoPro, iPhone, etc?

[@maddoxbromley6426]

3:42 hope that dude in the blue shirt is the cook. I dont think he is gonna make it

[@chris2kgreat]

Good video, but music too loud at times

[@NaturKind]

You deserve much more Subscribers, thx for your awesome Content, cheers from Austria ✌🏼😄

[@gusmontano]

Beautiful footage mate. What memories for you! What camera did you use? Quality is phenomenal!

[@joeyvidaloca863]

Thank you! Honestly it was just a mix of my GoPro Max and Iphone 14 😂 would’ve loved to bring a better camera but there’s already SO much gear to carry

[@gusmontano]

@@joeyvidaloca863 Phenomenal! The quality is so good I had to ask! Congrats on completing this and the production. A memory, forever.

[@alaskakv]

Great video , but your talking is competing with the music . Hard to hear you .

[@1976ondy]

OMG im here for that burger 😮 2:55

[@jefffarhy2055]

Hi- heading off to Denali in May (2025). You mentioned that you were up all night cold at high camp. What was your sleeping bag rated? What kind of mats did you have? Thx.

[@joeyvidaloca863]

Awesome! I used the Marmot Col -20, and as far as pads i used the Big Agnes Rapide SL. More than warm enough every other day, but at high camp I wore my puffy pants, puffy upper layer and I think even my Parka for a bit and still had the occasional shivers lol (late June btw). strongly recommend throwing some hot water in the ol nalgene and keeping it by your feet. made a huge difference. Good luck with the climb!

[@maxasaurus3008]

17 camps? Yeesh! Every layer and STILL shivering!?! 🥶 you’re nuts but so are all good mountain enthusiasts

[@Soldeezy]

I’m going to assume 17 camp means camps at 17000 feet. I don’t think there are There are 17 camps on Denali

NICE VIDEO, SUBSCRIBER NO. 192. 🤗

[@riderad9701]

what kind of experience climbing did you have before this climbing? Great job on the video!

[@joeyvidaloca863]

Thank you! I’ve been climbing both rock and alpine for several years now, but Leading up to Denali I trained with some friends on Mt Hood, Rainier, and also did Aconcagua which helped big time with experience at altitude.

[@edprotas4148]

I would have liked to watch, but the music was so loud as to overwhelm the dialogue.

[@jeremychambers550]

🔥 wow, just wow

[@ThroughMyGoPro]

How do you only have 1.2K subscribers? Your content is next level and incredible, I hope to see you out on a mountain one day!

[@mikikiki]

The music is a little overkill 😅

[@iJerrrrrry]

I did not know you needed to get dropped off by planr to even begin climbing denali. Insanity levels of the chart to me at least. Mountain climbers just different

[@brettm.s.1169]

Why are there always thousands of people climbing these incr3dible peaks, day after week after month after year??. Whats the poInt in being one of 270 million of people who have eaten a Big Mac or climbed a peak ?

[@ThunderTaco206]

It's not Mt. Denali. It's just Denali.

[@curt62208]

Someone should consider renting these guys some dogsleds!

[@АндрійЯрош-д8ц]

Music bad.

[@curt62208]

Dude, do you talk to your mother with that mouth?

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Why does everyone on KZbin, have the obsession, of showing themselves, more than the beauty around them, or the subject they're discussing? It's arrogant. And KZbin does get paid when we put our mug, on the screen.

[@Ryyder64]

Bro stfu and give them a nod of approval.

[@matthewadams8294]

In this situation, no. This video is for him. He can do whatever. What an accomplishment.

[@JudithHaworth-yu6oz]

No oxygen required?

Language! No need to be vulgar.

[@shadowfighter8861]

No need to not be either

[@tztz1949]

Getting drunk to too off your experience . How white of you.

[@22HARAGAN]

How much cost your expedition? +o- that’s my dream , 👌🏻🫡
