00:00:01,836 --> 00:00:04,004
"We have little time on earth.

2
00:00:04,088 --> 00:00:06,048
I want to evolve as much as possible,

3
00:00:06,131 --> 00:00:08,384
physically and mentally, as a person."

00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:41,584
<i>In much of this world,</i>
<i>we can see marks of humanity.</i>

5
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:44,420
<i>But as soon as we arrived</i>
<i>to these vertical worlds,</i>

6
00:00:44,503 --> 00:00:48,591
<i>they are exactly as they were</i>
<i>thousands of years ago.</i>

7
00:00:57,725 --> 00:01:00,019
<i>As soon as we arrived at the mountain,</i>

8
00:01:00,102 --> 00:01:03,022
<i>all rules, laws</i>

9
00:01:03,105 --> 00:01:05,858
<i>and principles of society, I suppose,</i>

10
00:01:05,942 --> 00:01:08,027
<i>disappear.</i>

11
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:12,698
<i>We are in an environment</i>
<i>wild and untamed.</i>

12
00:01:12,782 --> 00:01:15,493
<i>There, everyone is equal.</i>

13
00:01:15,576 --> 00:01:18,579
<i>We feel nature in the wild</i>

14
00:01:18,663 --> 00:01:20,790
<i>in its best form.</i>

15
00:01:33,803 --> 00:01:37,222
<i>What's the attraction? I don't know.</i>
<i>I'm still trying to figure it out.</i>

16
00:01:38,016 --> 00:01:41,727
<i>But I think it comes down to it </i>
<i>not to think about the past,</i>

17
00:01:41,811 --> 00:01:44,772
<i>not thinking about the future,</i>
<i>we just live.</i>

18
00:01:44,856 --> 00:01:47,441
<i>This is life in its purest form.</i>

19
00:01:47,525 --> 00:01:51,236
<i>And it's easier to achieve</i>
<i>when I'm on the mountain.</i>

20
00:01:54,406 --> 00:02:00,997

HAKUBA, JAPAN

00:02:19,598 --> 00:02:22,018
<i>One photo is enough</i>

00:02:22,101 --> 00:02:24,311

MOUNTAIN OF NO RETURN

27
00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:28,399
<i>They sent me a photo by </i>email

28
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:30,651
<i>from a ridge in the alpine region</i>

29
00:02:30,735 --> 00:02:32,778
<i>and when I saw her, I thought:</i>

30
00:02:32,862 --> 00:02:36,115
<i>"I have to go to Japan.</i>
<i>It's time to go back to Japan."</i>

31
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,879
<i>It's a crazy place.</i>
<i>We got off the plane in Tokyo</i>

32
00:02:49,962 --> 00:02:55,051
<i>and it's very claustrophobic,</i>
<i>the most populated place in the world.</i>

33
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:57,887
<i>And, five hours later,</i>

34
00:02:58,763 --> 00:03:01,807
<i>we are in one of the quietest...</i>

<i>... and beautiful mountain environments</i>
<i>that we can visit.</i>

37
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:15,320
<i>Here, the mountain is alive</i>
<i>and full of spirits.</i>

38
00:03:15,404 --> 00:03:17,823
<i>Every mountain has</i>
<i>a place of birth</i>

39
00:03:17,907 --> 00:03:20,618
<i>and every tree</i>

40
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:22,536
<i>contains spirits.</i>

41
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:25,039
<i>Let's go to the mountain and find it</i>
<i>a small stone sanctuary.</i>

42
00:03:25,123 --> 00:03:26,874
We sat and prayed.

DAVE ENRIGHT
HAKUBA MOUNTAIN GUIDE

44
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:30,044
Not only to the sanctuary of the rock,
but it's the mountain

45
00:03:30,128 --> 00:03:32,337
<i>which is behind the sanctuary.</i>
<i>It's very natural.</i>

46
00:03:32,421 --> 00:03:34,757
<i>It's part of everyday life.</i>

47
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:41,180
<i>From the beginning,</i>
<i>I thought about Dirksen and Forrest</i>

48
00:03:41,263 --> 00:03:44,016
<i>like perfect people</i>
<i>to bring to these mountains.</i>

49
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,062
<i>I chose snowboarders who have</i>
<i>most importantly, the right attitude.</i>

50
00:03:48,146 --> 00:03:50,982
<i>I started snowboarding when I was 13</i>

51
00:03:51,149 --> 00:03:52,817
<i>Just did it</i>

52
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:54,777
<i>skateboard maneuvers in</i>half-pipe.

53
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:56,737
<i>Over the years, I tried to be</i>

54
00:03:56,821 --> 00:03:58,656
<i>a good snowboarder</i>
<i>in most respects.</i>

55
00:03:58,739 --> 00:04:01,742
<i>I tried to find different things</i>
<i>and different ways to do them.</i>

56
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:06,246
<i>Forrest has been</i>
<i>a Utah force for years</i>

57
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:10,126
<i>and became one of mine</i>
<i>favorite partners.</i>

58
00:04:15,506 --> 00:04:19,969
<i>It was 20 years ago</i>

59
00:04:20,052 --> 00:04:26,976
<i>That I started to go down to Hakuba.</i>

60
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:30,229
FIRST DESCENT OF THE "CATFACE"

61
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:33,816
When I started to advance
for the interior region,

62
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:38,696
I participated in the first competition
in 1996.

63
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:42,867
<i>We've been here for a week</i>
<i>and we have a good time for the first time</i>

64
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,785
<i>to go down the mountain with no return.</i>

65
00:04:44,869 --> 00:04:47,496
<i>So let's go to the mountain.</i>

66
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:51,333
<i>We hope to set up camp tonight</i>
<i>and go down the hill tomorrow.</i>

67
00:05:24,116 --> 00:05:26,535
This is going to drive you crazy, man.

68
00:05:30,873 --> 00:05:33,458
<i>I don't think we can handle it</i>
<i>more than two hours</i>

69
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:37,588
<i>before we start</i>
<i>doubting what we were doing.</i>

70
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:41,217
<i>It was obvious that we had to get out of there.</i>

71
00:05:44,344 --> 00:05:46,722
I think it's slowing down.

72
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,853
It should improve,
but it still hasn't improved.

73
00:05:52,937 --> 00:05:56,315
We are trapped in a small cabin,
at the top of the mountain.

74
00:05:56,398 --> 00:05:58,734
- Let's see what happens.
- Tomorrow, let's go here.

75
00:05:58,817 --> 00:06:00,527
Yes, let's go here.

76
00:06:00,611 --> 00:06:04,990
<i>Jeremy spoke</i>
<i>in a higher area of the mountain.</i>

77
00:06:05,074 --> 00:06:09,036
So we hope
May the wind die down,

78
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,914
<i>so we can go out at night</i>

79
00:06:11,997 --> 00:06:13,916
<i>and camping.</i>

80
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:18,712
DAY 9: 19 FEB. 2011
APPROACH TO "CATFACE"

81
00:06:18,796 --> 00:06:20,547
<i>We woke up early the next morning.</i>

82
00:06:20,631 --> 00:06:24,009
<i>We left at 4 am and, suddenly,</i>
<i>we saw the moon</i>

83
00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:28,055
<i>and it was a perfect start to the day.</i>

84
00:06:28,139 --> 00:06:31,309
<i>We decided to go straight to the slope.</i>

85
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,901
I reached the top, there.

86
00:06:40,985 --> 00:06:43,988
I managed to cut it very well...

87
00:06:44,071 --> 00:06:47,825
It's a safe place
to go down the slope.

88
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,119
- Yes.
- I trust Forrest, without a doubt.

89
00:06:50,202 --> 00:06:51,996
- Where is Forrest?
- In tight space.

90
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:53,455
- In the main?
- Yes.

91
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:55,415
- Yes.
- Radical.

92
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:16,395
Five, four, three, two, one...

93
00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:17,688
Jeremy's going down.

94
00:08:11,116 --> 00:08:13,869
<i>Are you ready to have fun?</i>

95
00:08:14,745 --> 00:08:16,205
<i>Ready.</i>

96
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:36,850
Ten seconds for Forrest.

97
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,371
<i>Don't bury yourself in the snow, Forrest.</i>

98
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:01,625
<i>Balls! Get out of there!</i>

99
00:09:07,506 --> 00:09:09,049
<i>Come on, Forrest!</i>

100
00:09:23,814 --> 00:09:25,607
<i>Shit, what do we do?</i>

101
00:09:26,525 --> 00:09:28,277
<i>I don't see him. Can you see it?</i>

102
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,570
<i>Sorry, I don't see you.</i>
<i>Malta, I've seen it!</i>

103
00:09:43,542 --> 00:09:45,961
<i>There is a lot of talk about how to manage</i>
<i>the loose snow.</i>

104
00:09:46,044 --> 00:09:48,630
<i>That fall shows what happens</i>

105
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:50,715
<i>if we are caught</i>
<i>through loose snow</i>

106
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,676
<i>or if we fall</i>
<i>from a high slope.</i>

107
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:54,428
<i>What happens</i>

108
00:09:54,512 --> 00:09:57,973
<i>we fell to the bottom</i>
<i>at 100 or 110 km/h,</i>

109
00:09:58,056 --> 00:10:00,809
<i>without any control.</i>

110
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:05,189
<i>I've been in this situation.</i>

111
00:10:05,272 --> 00:10:09,067
<i>After that, snowboarding</i>
<i>It's the last thing we want to do.</i>

112
00:10:09,151 --> 00:10:10,902
<i>We thought: "Why do we do this?"</i>

113
00:10:10,986 --> 00:10:14,406
<i>Many questions and doubts arise.</i>

114
00:10:15,407 --> 00:10:17,242
<i>He's very radical.</i>

115
00:10:17,326 --> 00:10:20,120
<i>He controlled himself, but I believe</i>
<i>who wasn't happy.</i>

116
00:10:20,204 --> 00:10:22,206
<i>He got beaten up.</i>

117
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:31,465
<i>Every morning,</i>
<i>we wake up and it's freezing.</i>

118
00:10:32,216 --> 00:10:35,135
<i>We look at the cold boots,</i>
<i>on the street, and we thought:</i>

119
00:10:35,219 --> 00:10:37,262
<i>"Balls!" We prepare the food.</i>

120
00:10:37,346 --> 00:10:39,348
<i>And sometimes we forget everything.</i>

121
00:10:39,431 --> 00:10:41,683
<i>We put on our snowboard boots,</i>

122
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:44,019
<i>we took the board</i>
<i>and we started walking.</i>

123
00:11:01,579 --> 00:11:04,456
<i>Early in the morning, nothing is...</i>

124
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:06,750
<i>Japan doesn't make our lives easier.</i>

125
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:09,794
<i>The climb up the hill is dangerous,</i>
<i>because there is sharp ice</i>

126
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:12,339
<i>in some places</i>
<i>isothermal elsewhere.</i>

127
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:16,385
<i>Now we deal with those cornices,</i>
<i>which are much bigger than we expected.</i>

128
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:18,387
<i>Here is a cornice...</i>

129
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:21,432
<i>It looks like a double cornice</i>
<i>strange and hanging.</i>

130
00:11:21,515 --> 00:11:23,808
<i>But where it is must be perfect.</i>

131
00:11:24,809 --> 00:11:26,144
Keep it tighter.

132
00:11:29,773 --> 00:11:32,317
<i>I didn't think I was going to do it</i>
<i>these things in Japan.</i>

133
00:11:32,401 --> 00:11:37,239
<i>But the ground we found</i>
It <i>seems to be from another world. </i>

134
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:21,074
10 seconds left for Forrest.

135
00:12:51,062 --> 00:12:53,398
<i>Some days are difficult,</i>
<i>but we rise</i>

136
00:12:53,482 --> 00:12:56,067
<i>and we insist.</i>

137
00:12:56,151 --> 00:12:57,611
Good one, Forrest!

138
00:12:57,695 --> 00:12:59,029
Every step is worth it.

139
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,197
It's true.

140
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,366
<i>When I'm on the mountain with someone,</i>

141
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:04,451
<i>we live in this moment,</i>

142
00:13:04,535 --> 00:13:06,036
<i>step by step, together.</i>

143
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:08,246
<i>That's why we're in tune</i>
<i>with the other snowboarder</i>

144
00:13:08,330 --> 00:13:11,124
<i>and we feel the other person's energy.</i>

145
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:15,379
<i>See the other person</i>
<i>do everything perfectly</i>

146
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:19,383
<i>gives a lot of energy</i>

147
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,426
<i>to everyone around her.</i>

148
00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:41,590
<i>It's a connection we have</i>
<i>with the mountain</i>

149
00:14:41,673 --> 00:14:44,342
<i>and with each other,</i>
<i>working in groups.</i>

150
00:14:44,426 --> 00:14:47,763
<i>We can put it aside</i>
<i>life at a fast pace</i>

151
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:49,973
<i>what we have when we don't snowboard.</i>

152
00:14:50,056 --> 00:14:52,476
<i>It's a radical change. </i>

153
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:55,312
<i>I came to Japan</i>
<i>to go down this slope.</i>

154
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:58,982
<i>But to do this, I need help</i>
<i>of the people on the ground.</i>

155
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:00,942
<i>It's a true community effort.</i>

156
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:02,068
GO DEEPER

157
00:15:02,152 --> 00:15:03,987
<i>Many things have to go well</i>

158
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:07,031
<i>and these relationships</i>
<i>which are built along the way</i>

159
00:15:07,157 --> 00:15:08,826
<i>will last forever.</i>

160
00:15:14,205 --> 00:15:15,999
"I'm addicted to my digital world

161
00:15:16,082 --> 00:15:18,460
as everyone seems to be...

162
00:15:18,543 --> 00:15:20,796
It's good to be able to remember

163
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:22,756
that we don't need it."

SVALBARD, NORWAY

165
00:15:29,387 --> 00:15:34,810
<i>I just came to say goodbye to the night</i>
<i>in the next three weeks.</i>

166
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:39,063
It's very difficult to imagine going to a place
where the sun doesn't set.

167
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:46,946
<i>I heard about a mountain range</i>

168
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:50,158
<i>near the North Pole</i>

169
00:15:50,241 --> 00:15:52,118
<i>full of very steep lines,</i>

170
00:15:52,202 --> 00:15:55,622
<i>good snow and clear escape areas.</i>

171
00:15:59,459 --> 00:16:00,836
<i>I didn't really know what to expect,</i>

172
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:02,921
<i>I didn't imagine anything.</i>

173
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,715
<i>I was open-minded and waited</i>

174
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:07,050
<i>find inspiring terrain</i>

175
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,760
<i>and hopefully decent snow.</i>

DAY 1: APRIL 4, 2011 BASE
LONGYEARBYEN, NORWAY

177
00:16:11,221 --> 00:16:12,514
<i>We are further away.</i>

178
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:15,016
I've never been to an area so far north.

179
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:17,895
And it must be the most isolated place

180
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:21,398
<i>which I have already visited,</i>
<i>when we go out and camp.</i>

181
00:16:22,774 --> 00:16:25,193
- Welcome!
- Is this where you live?

182
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:26,444
This is where I live.

183
00:16:27,195 --> 00:16:31,115
<i>I saw Terje for the first time</i>
<i>on his first visit to the USA.</i>

184
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:32,283
<i>He went to the US Open</i>

185
00:16:32,367 --> 00:16:34,870
<i>and I was 15 or 16 years old at the time.</i>

186
00:16:34,953 --> 00:16:36,955
<i>He was the same age as me</i>
<i>and me and my friends</i>

187
00:16:37,038 --> 00:16:40,083
<i>we were very impressed</i>
<i>with that Norwegian kid.</i>

188
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:41,668
<i>Over the following years,</i>

189
00:16:41,752 --> 00:16:45,756
<i>Terje became the Great God</i>
<i>from snowboarding.</i>

190
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,674
<i>Of all people,</i>
<i>I didn't wait</i>

191
00:16:47,758 --> 00:16:49,593
<i>that Terje wanted to do this,</i>

192
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:51,720
<i>who wanted to go to the middle of nowhere,</i>

193
00:16:51,803 --> 00:16:55,056
<i>freeze, sleep in tents</i>
<i>and go down these lines.</i>

194
00:16:55,139 --> 00:16:56,808
We are loading the trains

195
00:16:56,934 --> 00:17:00,812
and we'll be outside
two to three weeks.

196
00:17:00,896 --> 00:17:02,981
I don't think he knows
what you got yourself into.

197
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:05,692
LEADERSHIP POSITION GUIDE

198
00:17:05,776 --> 00:17:08,027
It's about 180 kilometers.

199
00:17:08,111 --> 00:17:10,864
<i>We went through ice banks,</i>
<i>some glaciers.</i>

200
00:17:10,948 --> 00:17:12,991
<i>and, of course, finally</i>
<i>we have polar bears.</i>

201
00:17:13,074 --> 00:17:14,993
We have to be careful with this.

202
00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:19,790
CINEMATOGRAPHY

203
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:22,041
We prepare for 12 hours

204
00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:25,462
snowmobile travel,
to get to the camp.

205
00:17:25,545 --> 00:17:28,715
<i>It's a long time to tremble</i>
<i>on top of a sled!</i>

206
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,342
We've been here for three days,
packing

207
00:17:31,426 --> 00:17:34,012
and repacking over and over again.

208
00:17:34,471 --> 00:17:37,557
The time has come to leave.

209
00:17:38,182 --> 00:17:39,810
<i>180 kilometers to the north.</i>

210
00:18:04,125 --> 00:18:07,545
<i>The first 150 went very well.</i>

211
00:18:07,629 --> 00:18:09,923
<i>We covered them in about nine hours</i>
<i>and then...</i>

212
00:18:10,007 --> 00:18:12,884
The ground began to open up
It's around us, literally...

213
00:18:12,968 --> 00:18:14,093
There are two sleighs there.

214
00:18:14,177 --> 00:18:15,219
3:00
9 HOURS LATER

215
00:18:15,345 --> 00:18:17,764
<i>We are on a sheet of ice</i>
<i>above the Arctic Ocean.</i>

216
00:18:17,848 --> 00:18:20,475
We don't even know very well
What can we step on, at this moment,

217
00:18:20,558 --> 00:18:22,769
because the ice is cracking.

218
00:18:24,021 --> 00:18:26,773
<i>It's raining and our route</i>

219
00:18:26,857 --> 00:18:29,108
<i>even the glacier turned into a river.</i>

220
00:18:29,192 --> 00:18:31,444
I couldn't imagine that.

221
00:18:33,321 --> 00:18:36,324
<i>It took us a good 12 hours</i>
<i>walking the last ten kilometers,</i>

222
00:18:36,407 --> 00:18:39,410
<i>because we had to cross the water</i>

223
00:18:39,494 --> 00:18:41,079
<i>which melted at the bottom of the glacier.</i>

224
00:18:41,162 --> 00:18:42,205
30 HOURS LATER

225
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:43,874
<i>Well, we did it.</i>

226
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:46,084
We took too long.

227
00:18:46,167 --> 00:18:47,836
<i>It's good to be here.</i>

228
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:55,052
<i>I was impressed</i>
<i>with the heap</i>

229
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:59,347
<i>that exists on the ground,</i>
<i>all slopes have lines to go down.</i>

230
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:02,225
<i>Flat glaciers with steep areas...</i>

231
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:03,393
ATOMFJELLA MOUNTAINS

232
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:06,063
<i>...and steep mountains</i>
<i>in all directions.</i>

233
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:11,442
 �, without a doubt,
the biggest animal footprint I've ever seen.

234
00:19:12,443 --> 00:19:14,362
<i>This fence worked really well.</i>

235
00:19:14,445 --> 00:19:18,575
<i>When something passes by, it triggers the explosive</i>
<i>and, in a perfect case...</i>

236
00:19:18,658 --> 00:19:20,077
POLAR BEAR SAFETY

237
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:22,161
<i>... scares away polar bears.</i>

238
00:19:22,245 --> 00:19:25,248
How do you sleep here?

239
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,876
<i>� bizarre,</i>

240
00:19:27,959 --> 00:19:29,377
<i>because the options are endless</i>

241
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,254
<i>and the light is endless.</i>

242
00:19:35,592 --> 00:19:37,677
<i>Walking is nothing new to me,</i>

243
00:19:37,761 --> 00:19:39,345
<i>but splitboarding is.</i>

244
00:19:39,429 --> 00:19:41,222
<i>Then, add this to the camp</i>

245
00:19:41,305 --> 00:19:44,434
<i>and I learn new things about the mountain.</i>

246
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:46,185
<i>I'm the one who always guides</i>

247
00:19:46,269 --> 00:19:48,312
<i>lots of questions</i>
<i>about snow conditions.</i>

248
00:19:48,396 --> 00:19:49,814
<i>Where can I walk?</i>

249
00:19:49,898 --> 00:19:51,357
<i>I can do the same with Jeremy,</i>

250
00:19:51,441 --> 00:19:53,484
<i>ask him lots of questions</i>
<i>and learn a lot.</i>

251
00:19:53,568 --> 00:19:55,653
Okay, I'll do that one
inclined plane there.

252
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:57,280
<i>Yes, there will be light for a while.</i>

253
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:59,449
<i>- That's what I calculated.</i>
<i>- Yes, I think it's good.</i>

254
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:00,575
DAY 3: "DOGLEG" CORRIDOR

255
00:20:00,658 --> 00:20:02,452
<i>Do you want to go straight up?</i>

256
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,079
<i>I skid over there.</i>

257
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:05,329
You better go.

258
00:20:05,413 --> 00:20:07,624
<i>I saw what Jeremy already did</i>

259
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:09,709
<i>and compared it to what I did before.</i>

260
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:11,628
<i>He has a good project</i>

261
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:14,338
<i>and it's an honor to be part of it.</i>

262
00:20:14,881 --> 00:20:16,507
<i>Is anyone at the base?</i>

263
00:20:18,718 --> 00:20:21,554
<i>The base listens. How are you?</i>

264
00:20:22,305 --> 00:20:24,975
<i>There are many... scenes here...</i>

265
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:27,602
<i>There's a lot of ice and a lot of scenes</i>
<i>that fall on our heads, that's why...</i>

266
00:20:28,103 --> 00:20:30,188
<i>I won't go any further than that.</i>

267
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:32,523
I'm exhausted.

268
00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:34,192
You know something?

269
00:20:34,275 --> 00:20:36,153
I'm not a climber.

270
00:20:39,864 --> 00:20:42,492
<i>When is it steep or narrow</i>
<i>it gets a little more difficult.</i>

271
00:20:42,617 --> 00:20:45,120
<i>I need to be more careful</i>
<i>and that's more...</i>

272
00:20:45,203 --> 00:20:46,454
<i>Indeed,</i>

273
00:20:46,537 --> 00:20:48,873
<i>going down is sometimes the safest thing.</i>

274
00:20:51,292 --> 00:20:52,961
Radical climb.

275
00:20:53,044 --> 00:20:54,504
<i>I had some concerns,</i>

276
00:20:54,587 --> 00:20:56,255
<i>for going up with someone else</i>

277
00:20:56,339 --> 00:20:57,632
<i>who I've never snowboarded with.</i>

278
00:20:57,715 --> 00:20:59,592
<i>A lot of things could happen.</i>

279
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:04,305
<i>We will leave with lots of food and water</i>

280
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:06,265
<i>and we're going to have a great day.</i>

281
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,525
DAY 7: "NAT GEO CORRIDOR"

282
00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:28,538
<i>If we only see airports,</i>
<i>ranking lists</i>

283
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:32,167
<i>and we make pipes and parks,</i>
<i>we end up getting tired.</i>

284
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:34,377
<i>We didn't take advantage</i>
<i>all other elements</i>

285
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:36,838
<i>offered by snowboard</i>

286
00:21:36,921 --> 00:21:39,007
<i>and through the mountains.</i>

287
00:22:32,727 --> 00:22:34,478
<i>Snowboarding with Terje is incredible.</i>

288
00:22:34,562 --> 00:22:36,480
<i>It's really cool that he...</i>

289
00:22:36,564 --> 00:22:39,150
<i>I think you saw something</i>
<i>I wanted to be a part of,</i>

290
00:22:39,234 --> 00:22:43,738
<i>came with an open spirit</i>
<i>and a great attitude and did snowboarding</i>

291
00:23:27,448 --> 00:23:31,369
<i>We were able to pass</i>
<i>lots of quality time with Terje,</i>

292
00:23:31,452 --> 00:23:33,163
<i>get to know him</i>

293
00:23:33,246 --> 00:23:38,209
<i>and see what's behind</i>
<i>this snowboard icon.</i>

294
00:23:38,293 --> 00:23:39,418
<i>We are in the shadow.</i>

295
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:40,753
<i>Should we go back to the cabin?</i>

296
00:23:40,837 --> 00:23:41,921
<i>Yes, we should.</i>

297
00:23:42,005 --> 00:23:44,215
Let's go back to the cabin.

298
00:23:51,055 --> 00:23:53,724
<i>Being here is very different</i>
<i>being in the cabin.</i>

299
00:23:53,808 --> 00:23:55,559
<i>When we got back,</i>

300
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:57,687
<i>they all disappeared,</i>
<i>they went to the room</i>

301
00:23:57,770 --> 00:23:59,563
<i>and they are on the computer.</i>

302
00:23:59,647 --> 00:24:02,692
<i>� a digital world, with images,</i>
<i>excerpts, accesses, blogs.</i>

303
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:05,569
<i>There's a lot of talk here,</i>

304
00:24:05,653 --> 00:24:07,322
<i>we share mountain knowledge.</i>

305
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:08,865
<i>� cool.</i>

306
00:24:10,533 --> 00:24:13,161
I can't do anything,
if you don't have this.

307
00:24:13,244 --> 00:24:16,080
<i>The level of friendship we have achieved</i>
<i>in two weeks</i>

308
00:24:16,164 --> 00:24:18,708
<i>passed in the middle of nowhere</i>

309
00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:21,502
<i>� the equivalent of years</i>

310
00:24:21,585 --> 00:24:24,755
<i>to see someone in town,</i>
<i>for example.</i>

311
00:24:26,590 --> 00:24:29,177
<i>I'm completely addicted</i>
<i>in my digital world,</i>

312
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:30,928
<i>like everyone else seems to be.</i>

313
00:24:31,012 --> 00:24:33,764
<i>We consume a lot of things</i>

314
00:24:33,848 --> 00:24:36,434
<i>that take away a lot of quality time.</i>

315
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,646
<i>It's good to be able to remember</i>
<i>that we don't need it.</i>

316
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:45,651
<i>When I came on this trip, I thought:</i>

317
00:24:46,277 --> 00:24:48,571
"Snowboard trip!"
Snowboarding is the least important.

318
00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:51,074
The most important thing is
the mountain, camping...

319
00:24:52,242 --> 00:24:55,161
We have carabiners
or whatever they are called.

320
00:24:57,121 --> 00:24:58,873
They should take a light rocket.

321
00:24:58,956 --> 00:25:00,958
Ready for polar bear country?

322
00:25:01,042 --> 00:25:02,419
Prepared.

323
00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:04,921
<i>Let's go.</i>

324
00:25:06,297 --> 00:25:07,298
<i>I don't know.</i>

325
00:25:07,382 --> 00:25:09,967
<i>I don't know what got into Jones,</i>

326
00:25:10,093 --> 00:25:12,178
<i>but it's the middle of the night</i>

327
00:25:12,262 --> 00:25:15,473
<i>and he said he saw a runner,</i>
<i>when we got here,</i>

328
00:25:15,556 --> 00:25:18,393
<i>who really wants to go down</i>
<i>since we passed by.</i>

329
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:19,685
<i>And it's dangerous.</i>

330
00:25:19,769 --> 00:25:22,897
<i>it's a failure in the middle</i>
<i>two huge pillars</i>

331
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,649
<i>overlooking the glacier</i>
<i>which extends into the fjord,</i>

332
00:25:25,733 --> 00:25:27,318
<i>which extends to the North Pole.</i>

333
00:25:27,402 --> 00:25:29,195
<i>It's a very wild place.</i>

334
00:25:30,447 --> 00:25:31,530
This walk is long.

335
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:36,160
I hope we don't have to
of the two pickaxes he has,

336
00:25:36,244 --> 00:25:37,578
because I only have one.

337
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:38,704
Goodbye, everyone.

338
00:25:47,213 --> 00:25:48,631
<i>We have reached the halfway point of the inclined plane.</i>

339
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:50,091
<i>I couldn't see the top,</i>

340
00:25:50,174 --> 00:25:54,637
<i>but it was steeper and narrower</i>
<i>than I thought.</i>

341
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,014
Doesn't it seem too steep?

342
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:05,398
I think this is a good one, for sure.

343
00:26:08,776 --> 00:26:11,988
- I don't know if Terje will resist.
- It looks horrible.

344
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:15,116
<i>I have no way of falling</i>
<i>from a mountain.</i>

345
00:26:15,199 --> 00:26:18,244
<i>I'm more afraid of avalanches,</i>
<i>of things that break.</i>

346
00:26:19,036 --> 00:26:21,038
<i>I feel very exposed</i>
<i>when we're climbing,</i>

347
00:26:21,164 --> 00:26:24,625
<i>we open all the glands,</i>
<i>we don't have a lot of clothes</i>

348
00:26:24,708 --> 00:26:26,919
<i>and if anything happens,</i>
<i>It's a little different</i>

349
00:26:27,003 --> 00:26:29,506
<i>when we are all equipped</i>
<i>and we have the board at our feet. </i>

350
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:33,426
<i>Climbing the mountain</i>
<i>It's a different emotion.</i>

351
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:35,136
Good thing I have this...

352
00:26:36,971 --> 00:26:38,556
... and a personalized guide.

353
00:26:41,434 --> 00:26:44,228
<i>At that moment, I realized</i>
<i>how much he had progressed</i>

354
00:26:44,312 --> 00:26:46,356
<i>in snowboarding and climbing,</i>

355
00:26:46,439 --> 00:26:49,359
<i>because this is, without a doubt,</i>
<i>the most difficult climb</i>

356
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:52,487
<i>and he seemed to rise</i>
<i>without any effort.</i>

357
00:26:53,196 --> 00:26:56,115
I'm very excited,
at the top of a...

358
00:26:57,241 --> 00:26:59,243
...classic hallway.

359
00:26:59,327 --> 00:27:03,164
It's impressive,
the descent is constant, the snow is decent.

360
00:27:03,498 --> 00:27:07,084
But there's a problem zone at the bottom
to keep us on our toes.

361
00:27:07,835 --> 00:27:10,338
<i>Terje, we're ready on this side.</i>

362
00:27:11,214 --> 00:27:12,507
<i>I'm going down.</i>

363
00:27:32,902 --> 00:27:35,279
It's loose snow. It's loose...

364
00:27:47,833 --> 00:27:49,627
I'm going down!

365
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,811
Wow, it looks steep, man.

366
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:22,493
<i>He was one of the best runners</i>
<i>I've already come down.</i>

367
00:28:22,577 --> 00:28:24,703
<i>It was incredible.</i>

368
00:28:26,705 --> 00:28:28,832
<i>It can't be any harder,</i>

369
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:32,253
in terms of ascent or descent.

370
00:28:32,336 --> 00:28:35,005
I have good motivation.

371
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:39,093
<i>It's a good experience, you know? </i>
<i>Being with the mountain goat.</i>

372
00:28:39,176 --> 00:28:40,886
<i>Dr. Jones.</i>

373
00:28:45,182 --> 00:28:50,438
<i>We had the best runner</i>
<i>or area ramp.</i>

374
00:28:50,521 --> 00:28:52,565
<i>It was on our doorstep.</i>

375
00:28:52,649 --> 00:28:57,069
<i>I don't know, I must have passed</i>
<i>hundreds of hours of looking at this.</i>

376
00:28:57,153 --> 00:28:59,822
<i>I did some descents nearby,</i>
<i>to analyze the snow.</i>

377
00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:05,828
<i>It must have taken me a good ten days</i>
<i>to finally have</i>

378
00:29:05,911 --> 00:29:08,331
<i>a good knowledge of snow.</i>

379
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:11,000
<i>It was the biggest line of the trip.</i>

380
00:29:12,793 --> 00:29:15,588
<i>Compared to </i>catboarding
<i>or</i>heliboarding,

381
00:29:15,672 --> 00:29:17,756
<i>the pace is much slower and more normal.</i>

382
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,094
<i>We are not tense and we do not have</i>
<i>worrying about helicopters in the air,</i>

383
00:29:22,178 --> 00:29:24,555
<i>spending money and fuel.</i>

384
00:29:24,639 --> 00:29:27,141
<i>We have fewer hypotheses</i>
<i>to slide,</i>

385
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:30,144
<i>but I think the overall experience</i>
<i>� better.</i>

386
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:34,982
<i>One thing people don't realize,</i>
<i>when we go up a line,</i>

387
00:29:35,065 --> 00:29:37,485
<i>� our vision is the same.</i>

388
00:29:37,568 --> 00:29:40,112
<i>We see what is behind us,</i>
<i>we see what is next to us,</i>

389
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:42,281
<i>but when we reached the summit,</i>

390
00:29:42,365 --> 00:29:45,618
<i>we finally see what exists</i>
<i>on the other side of the mountain.</i>

391
00:29:45,702 --> 00:29:49,830
<i>Give us an endless view</i>
<i>of new things.</i>

392
00:29:56,546 --> 00:29:59,423
<i>See this new world unfold</i>

393
00:29:59,507 --> 00:30:02,134
<i>It's one of the sensations</i>
<i>coolest in the world. </i>

394
00:30:02,218 --> 00:30:03,427
Yes!

395
00:30:04,011 --> 00:30:07,724
It's midnight in the Arctic Circle.
I couldn't be happier.

396
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:11,644
<i>We reached the top of the peaks,</i>
<i>we look north</i>

397
00:30:11,728 --> 00:30:15,356
<i>and, deep down, we look</i>
<i>to the top of the world.</i>

398
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:18,984
<i>I'm going down.</i>

399
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,530
All right, midnight descent!

400
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:19,587
Yes!

401
00:31:49,659 --> 00:31:52,870
<i>I learned that life</i>
<i>It is extremely fragile.</i>

402
00:31:52,953 --> 00:31:58,041
<i>And it's important to take advantage</i>
<i>every day to the fullest.</i>

403
00:31:58,125 --> 00:32:02,672
<i>We should enjoy all the life we can.</i>

404
00:32:04,590 --> 00:32:06,091
I don't believe it.

405
00:32:11,054 --> 00:32:13,182
<i>The moments we spent together</i>
<i>on the mountain</i>

406
00:32:13,265 --> 00:32:16,018
<i>these are some of the best moments</i>
<i>of our lives.</i>

407
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:18,187
<i>We never forget people</i>

408
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,857
<i>who we spent good days with</i>
<i>on the mountain.</i>

409
00:32:22,441 --> 00:32:25,695
<i>Being far from civilization is... I don't know,</i>

410
00:32:25,778 --> 00:32:27,905
<i>I think it's fantastic.</i>
<i>We have nothing in our pockets.</i>

411
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:29,740
<i>We don't have credit cards or keys. </i>

412
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:33,160
<i>I don't know, I think it's really good</i>
<i>get away from it all.</i>

413
00:32:33,243 --> 00:32:35,830
<i>I'm going to camp more with my kids,</i>
<i>without a doubt.</i>

414
00:32:35,913 --> 00:32:38,499
<i>My parents always took us</i>
<i>camping, so...</i>

415
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:40,042
<i>It's a good way to live.</i>

416
00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:50,969
"A great fear is always
losing someone we love..."

417
00:32:55,349 --> 00:32:58,519
INNSBRUCK, USTRIA

418
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:04,859
<i>I discovered, as a mountain guide,</i>

419
00:33:04,942 --> 00:33:11,407
<i>that people seek nature</i>
<i>and a less protected world...</i>

00:33:15,077 --> 00:33:20,624
<i>We always grow</i>
<i>that we face new challenges</i>

423
00:33:20,708 --> 00:33:22,167
<i>that we have to deal with.</i>

424
00:33:22,251 --> 00:33:25,588
<i>And we didn't find that in the office.</i>

425
00:33:28,131 --> 00:33:30,927
KARWENDEL HILLS

426
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,804
<i>The Karwendel Hills are the largest</i>

427
00:33:33,888 --> 00:33:37,808
<i>uninhabited area of central Europe.</i>

428
00:33:37,892 --> 00:33:39,977
<i>They are very close to where we live</i>

429
00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:43,021
<i>and if we go there,</i>
<i>we are far away.</i>

430
00:33:44,147 --> 00:33:47,401
<i>I met Mitch</i>
<i>probably eight years ago</i>

431
00:33:47,484 --> 00:33:50,362
<i>and we understood each other right away.</i>

432
00:33:50,446 --> 00:33:53,532
<i>I believe we have approached the mountain</i>
<i>in a similar way.</i>

433
00:33:53,783 --> 00:33:57,077
<i>Nowadays, Bibi �</i>
<i>my main partner.</i>

434
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,206
<i>it's really cool to share</i>
<i>this passion with Bibi.</i>

435
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:04,919
<i>You're having the best winter</i>
<i>from the last 30 years.</i>

436
00:34:05,002 --> 00:34:08,464
<i>So it seemed like a good time</i>
<i>to be with Mitch and Bibi.</i>

437
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:12,760
<i>Yes, in our funds</i>
<i>we have many mountains to explore.</i>

438
00:34:12,843 --> 00:34:15,763
<i>There are many peaks</i>
<i>that we can scale.</i>

439
00:34:15,846 --> 00:34:18,348
Just behind Mitch's house

440
00:34:18,432 --> 00:34:21,518
there is crazy terrain
and spectacular snow.

441
00:34:21,602 --> 00:34:24,146
<i>We hope to go camping,</i>

442
00:34:24,229 --> 00:34:26,732
<i>but first we have to get down here.</i>

<i>I'm excited.</i>
<i>It's minus 20 degrees.</i>

446
00:34:32,154 --> 00:34:36,408
They say it is
the coldest night of winter,

447
00:34:36,492 --> 00:34:38,661
so let's see.

448
00:34:38,744 --> 00:34:43,165
I had to stop and put on another layer
when I was coming down...

449
00:34:44,249 --> 00:34:46,168
I don't think I've ever had to do that.

450
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,303
<i>I think we're up</i>
<i>about 1400 meters.</i>

451
00:34:56,386 --> 00:34:57,763
<i>From the calculations I did.</i>

452
00:34:57,847 --> 00:35:01,851
<i>Now, we're on some ridges</i>
<i>and this is...</i>

453
00:35:03,477 --> 00:35:05,521
A dream come true.

454
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:25,290
DAY 2: "KREUZ CRISTAS"

<i>They are both very strong on the mountain.</i>

456
00:36:04,955 --> 00:36:06,206
<i>Especially Bibi.</i>

457
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:10,711
<i>You have control, you are in shape</i>
<i>and handles exposure very well.</i>

458
00:36:10,794 --> 00:36:13,255
<i>I've never been to the mountain</i>
<i>with a girl like that.</i>

459
00:36:13,338 --> 00:36:14,464
DAY 4: WESTLICHE KAMINSPITZE

460
00:36:14,590 --> 00:36:16,633
<i>It's cool, because we can learn</i>
<i>very much with them.</i>

461
00:36:16,717 --> 00:36:18,969
<i>I believe this pushes me to the limit,</i>
<i>as a snowboarder</i>

462
00:36:19,053 --> 00:36:21,972
<i>why wouldn't I go up alone, you know?</i>

463
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:24,641
On the right, we have madness.

464
00:36:34,026 --> 00:36:37,362
Yes! I achieved!

465
00:37:16,359 --> 00:37:17,820
Yes!

466
00:37:31,708 --> 00:37:34,294
DAY 5: "MIDEEARTH"

467
00:37:58,819 --> 00:38:02,489
<i>There are many places I haven't been,</i>
<i>in this mountain range.</i>

468
00:38:02,572 --> 00:38:05,909
<i>I told Jeremy:</i>
<i>"We have to find out.</i>

469
00:38:05,993 --> 00:38:07,452
<i>We have to investigate.</i>

470
00:38:07,536 --> 00:38:10,747
<i>We have to be ready</i>
<i>for almost everything."</i>

471
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:14,417
Are you a little nervous?

472
00:38:14,543 --> 00:38:15,836
I am.

473
00:38:15,919 --> 00:38:18,463
DAY 6: 8:00
12 KM TO BASE

474
00:38:18,547 --> 00:38:21,383
KARWENDEL TRAIL

475
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:43,446
At every step, we let
the worries of life behind.

476
00:39:01,882 --> 00:39:05,052
It's cold. It's really very cold.

477
00:39:05,594 --> 00:39:08,471
<i>Yes, we chose the coldest period</i>

478
00:39:08,597 --> 00:39:11,141
<i>from the last 50 years</i>
<i>to camp here.</i>

479
00:39:11,225 --> 00:39:13,227
<i>This is crazy.</i>

480
00:39:15,271 --> 00:39:16,855
<i>Well, we survived the first night.</i>

481
00:39:16,939 --> 00:39:18,440
<i>The morning is very cold</i>

482
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:21,818
and we have to understand what surrounds us.

483
00:39:26,823 --> 00:39:29,785
<i>- How is everything up there?</i>
<i>- The wind dispersed the snow.</i>

484
00:39:29,868 --> 00:39:34,915
It's very difficult to get to the points
that still have good snow.

485
00:39:34,998 --> 00:39:38,168
- <i>Not good.</i>
- That's bad.

486
00:39:38,835 --> 00:39:40,921
All of this is bad.

487
00:39:41,004 --> 00:39:44,716
<i>I got there and saw that the mountain</i>
<i>it had changed a bit.</i>

488
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,262
<i>The temperature was killing us.</i>

489
00:39:48,345 --> 00:39:51,807
<i>- Was it cold outside?</i>
- Yes, very cold.

490
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:54,017
<i>Level three cooling level.</i>

491
00:39:54,101 --> 00:39:57,271
<i>On the edge of ulcerations</i>
<i>caused by cold.</i>

492
00:39:58,105 --> 00:39:59,856
<i>Desperate moments</i>

493
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:01,733
<i>require desperate measures.</i>

494
00:40:02,484 --> 00:40:04,069
Check it out.

495
00:40:05,321 --> 00:40:10,492
<i>After five days,</i>
<i>it was bringing us to our knees.</i>

496
00:40:10,575 --> 00:40:15,080
<i>We reevaluate the situation</i>
<i>and we ended up coming to this cabin.</i>

497
00:40:15,831 --> 00:40:20,085
<i>We use the bad day</i>
<i>for a walk.</i>

498
00:40:20,961 --> 00:40:23,713
<i>To get to the cabin.</i>

499
00:40:28,177 --> 00:40:31,847
<i>It's getting late and we still have</i>

500
00:40:31,930 --> 00:40:35,767
350 vertical meters ahead.

501
00:40:35,851 --> 00:40:41,523
Then we hope to find the cabin,
dig it up and have a shelter.

502
00:40:41,606 --> 00:40:42,858
<i>It's an adventure.</i>

503
00:40:44,901 --> 00:40:47,070
<i>Everyone else seems to be optimistic.</i>
<i>And you?</i>

504
00:40:48,364 --> 00:40:49,365
PHOTOGRAPHER

505
00:40:49,447 --> 00:40:52,159
No way. This is the most ridiculous thing
that I have ever done in my life.

506
00:40:52,242 --> 00:40:54,452
<i>I don't even know</i>
<i>how much we still have left.</i>

507
00:40:54,786 --> 00:40:56,079
<i>It's crazy.</i>

508
00:40:56,163 --> 00:41:00,792
<i>It has become very evident that,</i>
<i>unless we bumped into the cabin,</i>

509
00:41:00,876 --> 00:41:04,921
<i>we wouldn't be able to find her</i>
<i>five meters away.</i>

510
00:41:05,005 --> 00:41:08,050
<i>I started to get worried.</i>

511
00:41:08,133 --> 00:41:10,802
<i>I was starting to get upset.</i>

512
00:41:10,886 --> 00:41:14,348
<i>It's very difficult to find,</i>
<i>it's under the snow.</i>

513
00:41:17,017 --> 00:41:18,518
<i>Very good.</i>

514
00:41:19,436 --> 00:41:22,605
<i>- Let's hurry, before...</i>
<i>- Good job, men!</i>

515
00:41:24,566 --> 00:41:27,236
<i>There are days when we don't feel so warm.</i>

516
00:41:47,256 --> 00:41:48,965
It's very stable.

517
00:41:49,049 --> 00:41:53,929
<i>It breaks exactly at this layer,</i>
<i>from the cold period.</i>

518
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:57,099
If I feel good at 30 meters,
I go up to 30 meters.

519
00:41:57,766 --> 00:42:01,103
And I want to start walking.

520
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:03,688
<i>what I see</i>
<i>and the background looks like</i>

521
00:42:03,772 --> 00:42:07,317
<i>which becomes flat,</i>
<i>it is not a voucher.</i>

522
00:42:07,401 --> 00:42:09,445
<i>- Yes, it's flat...</i>
<i>- You can't survive.</i>

523
00:42:09,527 --> 00:42:12,030
<i>- You can't survive.</i>
<i>- Yes, you can.</i>

524
00:42:12,114 --> 00:42:14,824
If we want to be dragged...

525
00:42:14,908 --> 00:42:16,452
<i>The Happy Hill... </i>

526
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:19,704
<i>It's a crazy mountain.</i>

527
00:42:19,788 --> 00:42:22,916
<i>The day has come to climb it.</i>

528
00:42:26,211 --> 00:42:28,546
<i>So far, I've felt good.</i>

529
00:42:28,630 --> 00:42:30,340
<i>No worries.</i>

530
00:42:30,466 --> 00:42:32,259
Yes, so far everything is fine...

531
00:42:32,592 --> 00:42:34,094
Difficult morning.

532
00:42:36,054 --> 00:42:38,848
<i>Just a few meters to go</i>

533
00:42:39,308 --> 00:42:42,852
<i>and Mitch took two or three steps</i>

534
00:42:42,936 --> 00:42:47,399
<i>and found a lot of sediment.</i>

535
00:42:47,483 --> 00:42:48,942
<i>Do they have a confirmation?</i>

536
00:42:49,025 --> 00:42:50,610
<i>See?</i>

537
00:42:52,529 --> 00:42:54,697
<i>Jerry, you two seem to be on the move.</i>

538
00:42:54,781 --> 00:42:56,574
<i>I have to contact them.</i>

539
00:43:00,036 --> 00:43:03,623
<i>Mitch, are you listening?</i>

540
00:43:06,543 --> 00:43:08,504
<i>Can you repeat that, Bibi?</i>

541
00:43:16,219 --> 00:43:17,679
<i>Mitch?</i>

542
00:43:23,643 --> 00:43:25,228
<i>Are you okay?</i>

543
00:43:25,312 --> 00:43:27,856
<i>We see you.</i>
<i>Are you okay?</i>

544
00:43:29,024 --> 00:43:33,111
<i>Yes, we are both fine,</i>
<i>more or less.</i>

545
00:43:33,195 --> 00:43:34,779
<i>I think we were lucky.</i>

546
00:43:34,863 --> 00:43:37,366
<i>I tumbled several times.</i>

547
00:43:37,449 --> 00:43:40,076
<i>Afterwards, my mouth was full of snow,</i>

548
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,287
<i>so I couldn't breathe.</i>

549
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:47,876
Yes, I turned around and saw Mitch behind me,
so it's good.

550
00:43:47,959 --> 00:43:52,172
<i>As soon as it started moving,</i>
<i>I even tried to grab it.</i>

551
00:43:52,255 --> 00:43:56,301
<i>But I saw her walking away from me</i>

552
00:43:56,385 --> 00:43:58,970
<i>and that was really bad.</i>

553
00:43:59,054 --> 00:44:03,475
<i>I was very happy to see it</i>
<i>that she was fine.</i>

554
00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:06,478
<i>Even when I messed up,</i>
<i>I was more worried</i>

555
00:44:06,562 --> 00:44:08,605
<i>with her and with...</i>

556
00:44:10,232 --> 00:44:14,069
A big fear is always
losing someone we love.

557
00:44:14,152 --> 00:44:15,945
Without a doubt.

558
00:44:16,029 --> 00:44:18,948
It's one of my biggest fears, you know?

559
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:27,040
<i>These things give us a level of humility</i>

560
00:44:27,123 --> 00:44:31,336
<i>that we rarely feel.</i>

561
00:44:31,420 --> 00:44:33,880
<i>We're back to square one</i>

562
00:44:33,963 --> 00:44:38,801
<i>and that's not a bad attitude</i>
<i>to have on the mountain.</i>

563
00:44:38,885 --> 00:44:43,139
<i>For us, we exchanged aspects,</i>

564
00:44:43,223 --> 00:44:46,643
<i>we found some land</i>
<i>where we felt we could take risks</i>

565
00:44:46,726 --> 00:44:48,853
<i>and we went down.</i>

566
00:44:49,479 --> 00:44:52,107
<i>I face situations</i>
<i>as they appear</i>

567
00:44:52,190 --> 00:44:55,777
<i>and I make the most of them.</i>

568
00:44:55,860 --> 00:44:57,904
<i>Yes, it's difficult for us,</i>

569
00:44:57,987 --> 00:45:01,824
<i>but, in the end, we are there,</i>
<i>on top of the mountain</i>

570
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:05,537
<i>where everything is so beautiful,</i>
<i>and we get a lot in return,</i>

571
00:45:05,621 --> 00:45:08,665
<i>so, in the end,</i>
<i>completely worth it.</i>

572
00:45:33,856 --> 00:45:35,484
Yes, man.

573
00:45:35,567 --> 00:45:37,944
We are both on a peak, together.

574
00:45:38,027 --> 00:45:41,490
Mitch is on a radical line there.

575
00:45:41,573 --> 00:45:43,450
What an afternoon!

576
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:47,287
I'm going down!

577
00:46:27,619 --> 00:46:32,832
I have to move forward and try to get there.

578
00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:09,703
<i>A good thing when we share</i>
<i>this kind of experiences,</i>

579
00:47:09,786 --> 00:47:13,039
<i>It is part of our history.</i>

580
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:17,210
<i>We value what we have much more.</i>

581
00:47:17,293 --> 00:47:19,588
<i>We give much more value.</i>

582
00:47:26,135 --> 00:47:29,723
"My world has rarely changed

583
00:47:29,806 --> 00:47:33,226
so radically in such a short time."

<i>It has to be unpredictable.</i>

587
00:47:54,456 --> 00:47:56,958
<i>If it's predictable, that means</i>

<i>I think probably</i>
<i>they thought that</i>

599
00:48:29,198 --> 00:48:32,076
<i>because they tried to get here</i>

606
00:48:55,725 --> 00:48:57,894
<i>This is an area</i>
<i>where we cannot use a helicopter.</i>

607
00:48:57,977 --> 00:49:01,314
<i>And I'm glad it's not possible,</i>
<i>actually.</i>

608
00:49:01,397 --> 00:49:04,192
<i>If it were possible to fly</i>
<i>and land on top of a peak,</i>

609
00:49:04,275 --> 00:49:07,612
<i>in the middle of nature,</i>
<i>to go down a slope,</i>

610
00:49:07,696 --> 00:49:09,405
<i>something would be missing.</i>

611
00:49:10,406 --> 00:49:13,451
<i>Jeremy is here,</i>
<i>Looking for a really cool place</i>

612
00:49:13,535 --> 00:49:16,329
<i>where no one has ever been, probably.</i>

613
00:49:16,412 --> 00:49:18,206
<i>Spending some time in a place</i>

614
00:49:18,289 --> 00:49:21,042
<i>and try to get to know him,</i>
<i>get to know the mountain</i>

615
00:49:21,125 --> 00:49:22,544
<i>It's spectacular.</i>

616
00:49:22,627 --> 00:49:26,339
<i>I've always avoided Wrangells,</i>
<i>because of the mystique they have.</i>

617
00:49:26,422 --> 00:49:29,384
<i>We prepare for a mission</i>
<i>one month</i>

618
00:49:29,467 --> 00:49:31,720
<i>and I hope I'm prepared.</i>

619
00:49:40,144 --> 00:49:42,772
<i>Mental preparation</i>
<i>it started in autumn,</i>

620
00:49:42,856 --> 00:49:44,774
<i>when Jeremy told me</i>
<i>that I could come.</i>

621
00:49:44,858 --> 00:49:49,195
<i>Said: "Well, St. Elias, you're sure</i>
<i>why do you want to go there, Jeremy?"</i>

622
00:49:49,404 --> 00:49:50,405
<i>And he said yes.</i>

623
00:49:50,488 --> 00:49:54,576
<i>I replied, "It's not just Mount Fairweather,</i>
<i>It's more difficult."</i>

624
00:49:54,659 --> 00:49:58,287
<i>At this moment,</i>
<i>I felt a weight in my stomach.</i>

625
00:49:59,706 --> 00:50:03,251
<i>Ryland learned a lot</i>

626
00:50:03,334 --> 00:50:07,213
<i>and he's no longer a kid I teach</i>

627
00:50:07,296 --> 00:50:10,174
<i>descending mountains this year.</i>

628
00:50:14,178 --> 00:50:16,264
What do you think?

629
00:50:16,347 --> 00:50:19,141
It's really cool, but very dangerous.

630
00:50:19,225 --> 00:50:20,309
Too dangerous.

631
00:50:20,393 --> 00:50:21,603
There are too many blocks of ice.

632
00:50:25,147 --> 00:50:28,902
<i>Lucas is a 23-year-old boy</i>
<i>from Mount Baker, Washington.</i>

633
00:50:29,110 --> 00:50:32,488
<i>Growing up snowboarding</i>
<i>with some of the greatest legends</i>

634
00:50:32,572 --> 00:50:34,991
<i>and this is noticeable when it goes down.</i>

635
00:50:35,074 --> 00:50:38,035
<i>I think Jeremy</i>

636
00:50:38,119 --> 00:50:42,331
<i>is the most determined snowboarder</i>

637
00:50:42,415 --> 00:50:44,500
<i>who I've been with on the mountain.</i>

638
00:50:44,584 --> 00:50:49,130
<i>I don't know anyone who understands better</i>
<i>the dynamics of lines.</i>

639
00:50:51,090 --> 00:50:55,887
<i>We have a beautiful circle of ridges,</i>

640
00:50:55,971 --> 00:50:59,015
<i>where we will leave our mark!</i>

641
00:50:59,098 --> 00:51:01,935
<i>This area where we are</i>

642
00:51:02,018 --> 00:51:04,938
<i>� intense.</i>
<i>We have to stay alert.</i>

643
00:51:05,021 --> 00:51:07,315
<i>Otherwise an accident is likely.</i>

644
00:51:11,486 --> 00:51:13,696
The mountain will always be here.

645
00:51:13,780 --> 00:51:15,824
But we may not be.

646
00:51:15,907 --> 00:51:18,910
<i>Last time I went</i>
<i>with a group of friends at the Wrangells,</i>

647
00:51:18,994 --> 00:51:21,830
<i>two of the four did not return home.</i>

648
00:51:21,913 --> 00:51:26,918
<i>It's a very intense world indeed.</i>

649
00:51:27,002 --> 00:51:29,462
<i>And we felt it as soon as we arrived.</i>

650
00:51:29,545 --> 00:51:32,381
<i>And that pressure never went away.</i>

651
00:51:39,388 --> 00:51:41,516
<i>I'm happy</i>
<i>for not having come to Wrangells sooner</i>

652
00:51:41,599 --> 00:51:45,728
<i>because I would have looked once</i>
<i>and facing backwards.</i>

653
00:51:54,029 --> 00:51:55,905
<i>The dangers are real here.</i>

654
00:51:55,989 --> 00:51:58,324
<i>We have a huge cornice.</i>

655
00:51:58,407 --> 00:52:01,494
<i>Every day, ice falls around us.</i>

656
00:52:03,621 --> 00:52:05,957
<i>It became evident</i>

657
00:52:06,041 --> 00:52:09,085
<i>who had never been</i>
<i>on such a big mountain.</i>

658
00:52:09,168 --> 00:52:11,462
Damn. We should get out of the way!

659
00:52:12,380 --> 00:52:14,298
My God!

660
00:52:19,554 --> 00:52:21,639
Are you going to catch us here?

661
00:52:21,806 --> 00:52:23,265
I don't think so.

662
00:52:26,602 --> 00:52:28,104
It will be a little covered up.

663
00:52:28,187 --> 00:52:30,065
Let's take it with sprays.

664
00:52:36,779 --> 00:52:41,409
DAY 3: APRIL 2, 2012
BAGLEY ICE FIELD BASE

665
00:52:43,285 --> 00:52:47,164
<i>We've reached the first real lines,</i>
<i>so-called heating lines.</i>

666
00:52:47,289 --> 00:52:49,500
<i>Here, everything is the opposite.</i>

667
00:52:55,339 --> 00:52:57,383
<i>Three, two, one.</i>

668
00:52:57,508 --> 00:53:00,095
<i>The big problem here</i>
<i>it's the birch trees.</i>

669
00:53:00,177 --> 00:53:05,725
<i>As soon as we cross them,</i>
<i>we handle 6 to 12 meters</i>

670
00:53:06,392 --> 00:53:10,772
<i>of crevices, cliffs, holes,</i>
<i>whatever you want to call it.</i>

671
00:53:13,608 --> 00:53:18,071
<i>When I came, I thought we were going up</i>
<i>clean and safe ridges,</i>

672
00:53:18,154 --> 00:53:20,656
<i>unprotected, that we could descend</i>
<i>without any problems,</i>

673
00:53:20,740 --> 00:53:23,367
<i>but here everything is pushed to the limit.</i>

674
00:53:23,451 --> 00:53:26,037
<i>Not interested</i>
<i>falling up there.</i>

675
00:53:26,121 --> 00:53:28,623
<i>It's not even an option.</i>

676
00:53:33,544 --> 00:53:37,715
<i>It is impossible to deny that it takes a lot</i>
<i>to be here, doing this.</i>

677
00:53:37,799 --> 00:53:40,969
<i>If it wasn't, they'd be here</i>
<i>more people doing this.</i>

678
00:53:51,771 --> 00:53:53,815
<i>Very well, 30 seconds.</i>

679
00:55:57,897 --> 00:55:59,690
Heap<i>.</i>

680
00:56:02,151 --> 00:56:03,736
No.

681
00:56:18,667 --> 00:56:20,461
<i>Ryland, are you okay?</i>

682
00:56:26,467 --> 00:56:28,636
Do you think birch trees will cause problems?

683
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,139
The birch trees are the problem.

684
00:56:31,222 --> 00:56:34,725
<i>We have to deal with these lines</i>
<i>as if there was no drop zone.</i>

685
00:56:34,809 --> 00:56:38,604
<i>We can't fall down that slope,</i>
<i>tumble</i>

686
00:56:38,687 --> 00:56:41,899
<i>and cross the rift,</i>
<i>because we are eaten alive.</i>

687
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:47,822
<i>We have been reviewing the logistics and tomorrow</i>

688
00:56:47,905 --> 00:56:51,117
<i>let's leave and try to arrive</i>
<i>� western slope,</i>

689
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,911
<i>which is on the other side</i>
<i>from the Bagley Ice Field.</i>

690
00:56:55,955 --> 00:56:58,457
<i>Well, we arrived at the gorge.</i>

691
00:56:58,540 --> 00:56:59,875
<i>We went down with the boards.</i>

692
00:57:00,209 --> 00:57:02,295
<i>It took us about five hours.</i>

693
00:57:02,378 --> 00:57:04,005
<i>We arrived at the birch trees,</i>

694
00:57:04,088 --> 00:57:06,882
<i>we discovered how to cross</i>
<i>and we move forward.</i>

695
00:57:06,966 --> 00:57:08,384
DAY 7: "WESTERN SLOPE"

696
00:57:08,509 --> 00:57:10,052
<i>We went down with the board.</i>

697
00:57:10,136 --> 00:57:13,348
<i>So we reverse the process.</i>

698
00:57:13,472 --> 00:57:15,350
<i>Do you think they will be back late?</i>

699
00:57:15,432 --> 00:57:19,312
I have my flashlight.
We have a long day ahead.

700
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:23,983
<i>I think Lucas is coping</i>
<i>with much more than you think.</i>

701
00:57:24,066 --> 00:57:27,069
<i>It all depends on how we feel</i>
<i>I want to do it with a straightener.</i>

702
00:58:05,107 --> 00:58:07,026
<i>Not this way!</i>

703
00:58:10,363 --> 00:58:13,490
I'm a little nervous,
I'm not going to lie.

704
00:58:15,159 --> 00:58:16,827
You can do it, man.

705
00:58:28,797 --> 00:58:32,551
The team reached the summit.

706
00:58:32,634 --> 00:58:34,636
Well done, Jeremy.

707
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,347
Nice effort, man.

708
00:58:37,639 --> 00:58:40,142
Man, these mountains are beautiful.

709
00:58:40,642 --> 00:58:42,353
But intimidating.

710
00:58:42,478 --> 00:58:44,605
What do you think
that steep hallway?

711
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:47,816
I had a good grip and I tried

712
00:58:47,900 --> 00:58:50,194
focus on each step.

713
00:58:50,278 --> 00:58:52,947
I didn't think about what was above
or below me.

714
00:58:54,031 --> 00:58:56,700
I'm glad I insisted,
because I wanted to go back,

715
00:58:56,784 --> 00:58:58,827
<i>but it's great to be up here.</i>

716
00:59:00,037 --> 00:59:02,873
<i>Three, two, one...</i>

717
00:59:02,957 --> 00:59:05,126
<i>Pure and hard Monte Baker.</i>

718
00:59:41,620 --> 00:59:45,333
Three, two, one, Ryland.

719
01:00:06,645 --> 01:00:09,148
Jeremy will come down
within ten seconds.

720
01:01:00,866 --> 01:01:04,119
<i>I'm on cloud nine right now.</i>

721
01:01:04,203 --> 01:01:06,830
<i>What a beautiful day to be on the mountain.</i>

722
01:01:15,214 --> 01:01:16,340
<i>Is this site good?</i>

723
01:01:16,424 --> 01:01:17,758
<i>- �.</i>
<i>- Okay.</i>

724
01:01:17,883 --> 01:01:19,676
<i>Where Ed is or where you are.</i>

725
01:01:20,553 --> 01:01:22,221
<i>What anchorage will we use?</i>

726
01:01:22,304 --> 01:01:25,099
<i>- snow anchor.</i>
<i>- You are at the mooring point.</i>

727
01:01:25,182 --> 01:01:26,392
<i>And you are</i>

728
01:01:26,559 --> 01:01:29,228
<i>About three meters to the left</i>
<i>the crisis.</i>

729
01:01:29,811 --> 01:01:32,731
<i>I see them on the summit.</i>

730
01:01:32,814 --> 01:01:37,152
<i>Trying to figure out how to get to the lines.</i>

731
01:01:37,236 --> 01:01:41,532
<i>What would my mother say,</i>
<i>if you saw me right now?</i>

732
01:01:41,616 --> 01:01:44,118
<i>First, I'm going down</i>
<i>a crazy line.</i>

733
01:01:44,201 --> 01:01:46,828
<i>Second, the only way to get there</i>

734
01:01:46,912 --> 01:01:49,790
<i>create a tunnel in a cornice.</i>

735
01:01:50,916 --> 01:01:52,627
<i>It's a bit ridiculous.</i>

736
01:01:52,709 --> 01:01:55,712
Today, you receive the emblem
of tunnel on cornices.

737
01:01:55,796 --> 01:01:59,133
<i>I reached the point where I saw the descent.</i>
<i>I prepared my ramp.</i>

738
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:02,595
<i>I looked down</i>
<i>and the first reaction was:</i>

739
01:02:03,596 --> 01:02:05,180
<i>"You can go back."</i>

740
01:02:05,264 --> 01:02:08,309
<i>There was a moment</i>

741
01:02:09,685 --> 01:02:12,688
<i>what we realized...</i>

742
01:02:12,771 --> 01:02:16,651
<i>"I can get down.</i>
<i>I'm going down and the moment has come."</i>

743
01:02:43,802 --> 01:02:48,474
<i>At the top, we begin to doubt</i>

744
01:02:48,557 --> 01:02:51,935
<i>if we can do it.</i>

745
01:02:52,019 --> 01:02:55,564
<i>It was difficult, but very rewarding.</i>

746
01:02:55,648 --> 01:02:58,900
<i>I still feel the adrenaline of the descent.</i>

747
01:03:09,620 --> 01:03:14,375
<i>It's been incredible to see</i>
<i>Lucas' evolution.</i>

748
01:03:14,458 --> 01:03:16,168
<i>It's unstoppable.</i>

749
01:04:14,685 --> 01:04:19,147
<i>I feel like I can take a deep breath,</i>
<i>for the first time, and think:</i>

750
01:04:19,231 --> 01:04:21,275
<i>"I managed to get down."</i>

751
01:04:21,358 --> 01:04:26,280
<i>These are moments when we forget everything</i>
<i>and we were very happy.</i>

752
01:04:38,793 --> 01:04:40,795
<i>I think...</i>

753
01:04:41,587 --> 01:04:45,132
<i>isolation from society is something...</i>

754
01:04:46,759 --> 01:04:48,677
<i>that makes me do these things.</i>

755
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,097
<i>It's really cool not to have</i>

756
01:04:52,180 --> 01:04:54,558
<i>an affection for silly objects</i>

757
01:04:54,642 --> 01:04:57,060
<i>that control our lives,</i>
<i>and we are trapped,</i>

758
01:04:57,144 --> 01:04:59,980
<i>in front of the computer,</i>
<i>writing 30</i>emails <i>per day.</i>

759
01:05:00,063 --> 01:05:02,357
<i>And I think: "what are we doing?"</i>

760
01:05:03,066 --> 01:05:05,026
<i>Here, we just live.</i>

761
01:05:05,110 --> 01:05:09,448
<i>We enjoy life,</i>
<i>in the purest and simplest way.</i>

762
01:05:13,327 --> 01:05:14,453
One more minute!

763
01:05:14,536 --> 01:05:17,247
<i>I woke up and saw the sun, some fresh snow</i>

764
01:05:17,331 --> 01:05:20,584
and let's go to The Tooth, again.

765
01:05:20,668 --> 01:05:24,171
<i>It is a small isolated pinnacle of rock,</i>

766
01:05:24,254 --> 01:05:27,675
<i>with a really cool slope.</i>
<i>I think it's the eastern slope,</i>

767
01:05:27,758 --> 01:05:30,010
<i>has many fantastic crests.</i>

768
01:05:30,093 --> 01:05:31,762
DAY 19: "THE TOOTH"

769
01:05:31,846 --> 01:05:34,181
<i>When moving up the lines, normally</i>

770
01:05:34,264 --> 01:05:37,100
<i>we are in a situation</i>

771
01:05:37,184 --> 01:05:39,687
<i>in which we have energy,</i>

772
01:05:39,770 --> 01:05:41,563
<i>we have the right equipment</i>

773
01:05:41,647 --> 01:05:44,733
<i>and it's time to climb the hill.</i>

774
01:05:56,244 --> 01:05:58,706
It's here, let's go.

775
01:05:59,707 --> 01:06:03,126
<i>Sometimes different people</i>
<i>lose their heads</i>

776
01:06:03,210 --> 01:06:06,755
<i>with different things,</i>
<i>because they are in a high area,</i>

777
01:06:06,839 --> 01:06:10,091
<i>It's steep and the snow is unstable.</i>

778
01:06:10,175 --> 01:06:12,594
<i>We have to know</i>
<i>when to listen to your instinct</i>

779
01:06:12,678 --> 01:06:14,889
<i>and when we overcome our fear</i>

780
01:06:14,971 --> 01:06:19,852
<i>and insist on a complicated section.</i>

781
01:06:19,976 --> 01:06:22,479
<i>It's okay, everyone.</i>

782
01:06:23,230 --> 01:06:24,940
<i>Proceed calmly.</i>

783
01:06:25,023 --> 01:06:26,567
<i>I'll take it with the loose snow.</i>

784
01:06:26,650 --> 01:06:27,902
Relax.

785
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,239
<i>For me, the scariest moment</i>

786
01:06:33,407 --> 01:06:36,744
<i>turned me back,</i>
<i>two thirds of the way up the Dente.</i>

787
01:06:37,578 --> 01:06:39,246
<i>I saw loose snow on the rocks</i>

788
01:06:39,329 --> 01:06:41,874
<i>and took it with the snow</i>
<i>freed by the man in front.</i>

789
01:06:41,957 --> 01:06:45,711
<i>I felt unstable on the mountain.</i>

790
01:06:45,836 --> 01:06:47,045
<i>LUCAS calls JK.</i>

791
01:06:47,128 --> 01:06:50,298
<i>My plan is to go back down.</i>

792
01:06:51,675 --> 01:06:54,428
<i>We have to be completely honest</i>
<i>about what we feel,</i>

793
01:06:54,511 --> 01:06:56,471
<i>about what scares us,</i>
<i>about what's going on.</i>

794
01:06:56,555 --> 01:06:59,099
<i>Normally, we don't share this</i>
<i>with others.</i>

795
01:06:59,182 --> 01:07:01,727
<i>But here...</i>

796
01:07:01,810 --> 01:07:05,146
<i>we can't hide anything.</i>

797
01:07:06,481 --> 01:07:08,650
<i>I don't like this peak, man.</i>

798
01:07:08,734 --> 01:07:11,403
<i>We are afraid of breaking everything.</i>

799
01:07:14,114 --> 01:07:16,324
<i>We have to get out of here now.</i>

800
01:07:25,333 --> 01:07:28,211
<i>For me, it was the climb</i>
<i>hardest thing I've ever done.</i>

801
01:07:31,006 --> 01:07:32,591
<i>I still feel a knot in my stomach.</i>

802
01:07:36,052 --> 01:07:37,721
Holy shit, man.

803
01:07:39,765 --> 01:07:42,392
<i>There's no doubt we learned more</i>
<i>about our fears.</i>

804
01:07:42,476 --> 01:07:46,939
<i>I try to think in advance...</i>

805
01:07:48,189 --> 01:07:51,151
<i>on the line, see if it's safe,</i>
<i>because I know</i>

806
01:07:51,234 --> 01:07:52,653
<i>when we are on the slope,</i>

807
01:07:52,736 --> 01:07:55,447
<i>that will be scary,</i>
<i>even when it is completely safe.</i>

808
01:07:58,241 --> 01:07:59,994
<i>The climb scared me so much</i>

809
01:08:00,076 --> 01:08:02,287
<i>that, when I reached the top</i>
<i>and I prepared myself,</i>

810
01:08:02,370 --> 01:08:05,624
<i>I didn't understand,</i>
<i>but there was maximum adrenaline.</i>

811
01:08:05,707 --> 01:08:09,003
<i>So I was really prepared</i>
<i>to go down this line.</i>

812
01:09:51,813 --> 01:09:54,566
<i>Going down with Jeremy is fantastic. �...</i>

813
01:09:54,649 --> 01:09:56,693
<i>I couldn't be here</i>

814
01:09:56,777 --> 01:10:01,239
<i>with someone with more experience</i>
<i>or who knows how to descend like him.</i>

815
01:10:01,740 --> 01:10:06,411
In the background, this entire mountain range
It's a no man's land.

816
01:10:06,494 --> 01:10:10,540
But there's a line right down the middle,
that I saw ten days ago.

817
01:10:10,624 --> 01:10:14,294
I try to get there.

818
01:10:15,545 --> 01:10:18,339
Who knows?
Maybe I can get it down today.

819
01:10:19,674 --> 01:10:26,556
DAY 24: "SPACE NEEDLE"
7:00, SOLO MISSION

820
01:10:32,896 --> 01:10:34,606
<i>He loves snowboarding.</i>

821
01:10:34,689 --> 01:10:36,858
<i>More than most people.</i>

822
01:10:36,942 --> 01:10:40,403
<i>Everyone says they love it</i>
<i>but they will be able</i>

823
01:10:40,528 --> 01:10:43,281
<i>to do all this</i>
<i>to make the best descent possible?</i>

824
01:10:43,364 --> 01:10:44,658
<i>I don't think so.</i>

825
01:10:44,741 --> 01:10:47,243
<i>He loves this sport.</i>

826
01:10:47,327 --> 01:10:48,703
<i>Gives you energy.</i>

827
01:11:50,974 --> 01:11:53,768
We are loading everything and the plan is...

828
01:11:53,852 --> 01:11:56,146
Paul, if you don't mind,

829
01:11:56,230 --> 01:12:01,359
I would like to take a look,
on the way to the cabin.

830
01:12:02,152 --> 01:12:05,113
<i>God gave us this nature,</i>
<i>made for each one of us.</i>

831
01:12:05,197 --> 01:12:08,283
<i>I think part of our soul</i>
<i>needs this.</i>

832
01:12:08,366 --> 01:12:10,493
<i>Some more than others, perhaps.</i>

833
01:12:10,577 --> 01:12:13,538
<i>It's hard to leave, knowing</i>

834
01:12:13,621 --> 01:12:15,749
<i>that I will spend a long time without returning.</i>

835
01:12:15,832 --> 01:12:17,251
Let's go home.

836
01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:19,086
Thanks!

837
01:12:21,671 --> 01:12:23,423
Damn!

838
01:12:24,841 --> 01:12:28,344
Dry land.
I haven't seen him for a long time.

839
01:12:35,018 --> 01:12:38,939
My world has rarely changed
in such a radical way

840
01:12:39,022 --> 01:12:41,024
in such a short time.

841
01:12:42,650 --> 01:12:43,944
Amazing.

842
01:12:44,194 --> 01:12:48,115
It was an incredible month, an incredible year,
and it's good to be on dry land.

843
01:12:48,198 --> 01:12:53,912
'Cause we've been in a wild place
and constantly changing.

844
01:12:53,995 --> 01:12:59,000
It's good to be back, safe and sound.

845
01:13:03,421 --> 01:13:07,175
<i>For me, the mountain</i>
<i>It is a source of energy.</i>

846
01:13:07,259 --> 01:13:12,222
<i>I take this to my family,</i>
<i>to my friends</i>

847
01:13:12,306 --> 01:13:16,643
<i>and for people</i>
<i>who I interact with in the world.</i>

848
01:13:18,145 --> 01:13:19,562
Yes, 360.

849
01:13:19,646 --> 01:13:20,897
<i>� little,</i>

850
01:13:20,981 --> 01:13:24,067
<i>but I think this world</i>
<i>would have a lot of problems,</i>

851
01:13:24,151 --> 01:13:29,239
<i>if people didn't bring</i>
<i>this positive energy for society,</i>

852
01:13:29,323 --> 01:13:32,200
<i>if they didn't distribute it.</i>

853
01:13:32,326 --> 01:13:35,078
That's good too, don't you think?

854
01:13:40,334 --> 01:13:42,002
I'm going to bed...

855
01:13:44,879 --> 01:13:46,881
- Have a nice day, okay?
- It's fine.

856
01:13:50,802 --> 01:13:53,513
MAY 20, 2012
END OF SEASON PARTY

857
01:14:19,622 --> 01:14:21,457
- It's so fun, man.
- Yes.

858
01:14:21,541 --> 01:14:22,834
Thanks, man.

859
01:14:23,459 --> 01:14:24,627
Highly.

860
01:14:28,215 --> 01:14:30,508
- Health, brother Jeremy.
- Cheers!

861
01:14:33,803 --> 01:14:35,930
<i>I want to say that �</i>
<i>one of the pleasures of my life</i>

862
01:14:36,014 --> 01:14:37,807
<i>being on this peak with you.</i>

863
01:14:37,891 --> 01:14:39,434
<i>Thank you, Mr. Matt.</i>

864
01:14:39,517 --> 01:14:43,646
The lights shine
and friends have fun, man.

865
01:15:02,623 --> 01:15:04,709
Jones is sliding!

866
01:15:13,385 --> 01:15:14,428
<i>We try to celebrate,</i>

867
01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:17,722
<i>but the snowboarding was really good</i>
<i>and it's also fun.</i>

868
01:15:17,805 --> 01:15:19,599
Fortunately, we can do
all at the same time.

869
01:15:20,308 --> 01:15:21,893
We agreed,

870
01:15:22,352 --> 01:15:24,187
we ate a <i>bagel</i>
we drink coffee.

871
01:15:24,271 --> 01:15:26,022
We had a little meeting

872
01:15:26,773 --> 01:15:28,816
and then we went up the mountain.

873
01:15:28,942 --> 01:15:32,320
Look at the married people,
filling the mattresses together.

874
01:15:40,454 --> 01:15:42,538
- What are you doing?
- A work of art.

875
01:15:49,754 --> 01:15:51,672
<i>What day is it today?</i>

876
01:15:53,841 --> 01:15:56,844
Okay, neither do I.
So, cool.

877
01:15:57,345 --> 01:15:59,806
The big doubt is...

878
01:15:59,931 --> 01:16:01,849
What day is it today?

879
01:16:01,933 --> 01:16:03,601
She didn't know either.

880
01:16:13,861 --> 01:16:16,281
Yes, man. Highly!

881
01:16:22,787 --> 01:16:26,541
These slippers have
fantastic isolation.

882
01:16:29,294 --> 01:16:30,545
It's funny...

883
01:16:39,804 --> 01:16:41,306
Are you killing it?

884
01:16:43,766 --> 01:16:47,687
I think his silence
It means you're killing it.

885
01:16:52,233 --> 01:16:54,068
Unbelievable.

886
01:16:54,152 --> 01:16:56,404
Sea...

887
01:16:56,488 --> 01:16:58,406
Crests...

888
01:16:58,490 --> 01:17:03,286
High altitude peaks
with blocks of ice in no man's land!

889
01:17:03,953 --> 01:17:05,163
Heavens!

890
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,188
- It's going to rain.
- Come on, seriously.

891
01:17:30,271 --> 01:17:32,148
- What do you think?
- Nick, do you have my card?

892
01:17:32,232 --> 01:17:35,193
- In 24 hours, you will...
- Did you take him?

893
01:17:35,276 --> 01:17:36,694
- Do you mind?
- Cool.

894
01:17:39,030 --> 01:17:43,368
I think we should take
in a bunch of flip-flops and go over here!

895
01:17:51,834 --> 01:17:53,044
Why did you come to this event?

896
01:17:53,127 --> 01:17:55,922
How is the energy in this place,
with these people?

897
01:17:56,005 --> 01:17:58,091
How do you feel at the end of the season?

898
01:17:58,174 --> 01:18:00,343
What do you take with you from this experience?

899
01:18:00,427 --> 01:18:02,845
Would you like to do something different
next winter?

900
01:18:02,929 --> 01:18:05,348
- What's it like to go down like Jeremy?
- Cool. Dec.

901
01:18:05,432 --> 01:18:07,225
Good interview. I finished.

902
01:18:07,308 --> 01:18:09,185
- Go back.
- Yes.

903
01:18:16,859 --> 01:18:18,236
I'm going down.

904
01:18:22,407 --> 01:18:24,451
<i>Good luck, friend!</i>

905
01:18:24,534 --> 01:18:26,369
What do you think of the bars
of granola?

906
01:18:26,453 --> 01:18:28,829
Granola molding paste!

907
01:18:31,583 --> 01:18:33,042
"Blue steel" once again.

908
01:18:38,381 --> 01:18:39,674
Can we get out of here?

909
01:18:42,427 --> 01:18:44,262
I think we're fine.
