Transcript

00:00Jirashanka is the epitome of a climber's mountain, but no one's been to the top in 20 years.

00:07There's 513 face climbing, run-out alpine rock terrain, really chossy mixed climbing, steep ice and snow.

00:14Trying to free every bit.

00:17Oh yeah. Ice!

00:19It's the next level of technical difficulty.

00:21You gotta have that fire in the belly.

00:23Watch me close. I'm watching you close.

00:25I'm watching real close.

00:27It's surreal, this 6000 meter peak

00:29that has rad climbing in every genre.

00:31Perfect.

00:33Josh Wharton, he's a unicorn.

00:35One of the best all-around climbers in the world.

00:38You name it, the guy's done it.

00:41I just worried about his longevity.

00:44He's just so laissez-faire in the face of incredibly dangerous things.

00:48I think risk's a valuable thing in life.

00:50I wouldn't want my daughter to live in a bubble,

00:52and so it's not something I want to totally let go of either.

00:56This is my fourth trip to Jirashanka,

00:58and second trip for Vince.

01:01My pee bottle.

01:02I drew a picture of Satan doing a bung rip on it.

01:05Vince was always a cool rock and roll guy.

01:08The crazy metal band shirts.

01:10I'm a big fan of nostalgia, so I like records.

01:13An old school mountaineering.

01:16Third day, going for the summit.

01:18Once we get up high, it's just solving the riddle of the mushroom snow maze.

01:22They can be treacherous.

01:24We said to climb underneath that big boy.

01:26So it's dangerous?

01:27I mean, it's not tennis.

01:29There's a real deal hard climbing right into the very end.

01:32Josh disappears around this corner and comes back and says,

01:35hey, I guess it's pretty important that we get back to see our families, huh?

01:41In those moments, you have to make a decision.

01:44Is this worth it?
