TONS of smoke on the Dempster on the way up. The road was shut down for wildfires for a little while. Visibility was down to 20 feet at one point north of Inuvik on the way to Tuk. Thankfully the wind shifted and I had incredible views on the way home!

Thank you!

Thank you! I loved the way it turned out, and I'm glad you like it too.

This a cover of Teardrops originally by Massive Attack, mostly assiciated with House MD, the TV show.

Hey! The song is Teardrop by Massive Attack, and the cover is by AURORA.

OMG IT'S THE HOUSE MD THEME (this particular one is a cover by AURORA, the original is by Massive Attack and Elizabeth Fraser)

I love the AURORA cover :)

The original song is Teardrop by Massive Attack. This is a cover by AURORA :)

I'm a masochist :)

Wyoming winters are BRUTAL.

How cold does it get in Austrailia?

@@dangercat9188depends where you visit. Some regions get get down to about -10°c (14f) while some are about 33°c (90°f) for the winter. However lower temps than the first can absolutely occur. I’m in Ohio right now and the winters here are consistently much worse than that.

When it's summer in the northern hemisphere it is winter in the southern hemisphere. 6 months later it will be winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere :)

So cool! What does your wife do? I was there around November of 2021.

@@alpacainstitute871 she's on a team with the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long Term Ecological Research project

@@MattBiddulph Very cool! Great project!

Ha, I never noticed before!

@@alpacainstitute871 today they would have CGIed it away.

@@marka7831 Today they would have been standing inside a studio next to a green screen. They wouldn't have been anywhere near a mountain! 😆

Eastwood did all his own climbing. But… this is the best movie quote of all time. I climbed for 10 years or so. If you wanted to sum up the mentality of every climber from the 70’s and early 80’s, this scene pretty well covers it.

Thank you! I love Antarctica, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

You still can! Make it happen, you won't regret it!

@@alpacainstitute871 Just need tofigure out how, that and a passport and capital

what?! why it’s so cold😭

@@amarisbutlr Where I lived it get’s as low as -20°C in winter, so this wouldn’t be that much of a stretch. That and I have always loved the cold and the untapped world buried beneath the ice there. A while landmass of history buried under ground.

I'd love to visit Northern Norway during summer. Looks beautiful!

Io le mie guerre le vinco meglio da sola. Con tanto di filmati, abbiamo detto sterminazione totale di tutta litalia e di tutti i ebrei nel mondo.

It really is an amazing place!

Spend enough time around alpinists from that generation and you'll realize they all kinda had that sort of attitude with death. Didn't really give themselves time to grieve. Hell, even certain corners of the rock climbing community have a bit of detached relationship with death

@@breezyillo2101 Reminds me the book called "addicted to danger". I forget the climbers name, famous very accomplished guy, Wickwire I think, encountered so many deaths during his time climbing..but he just kept going back. I can't imagine attending so many funerals especially when you know people there will be putting some blame on you, especially when you're the older climber. Fantastic book. Really eye-opening how fast so much life can vanish in the mountains. And most of the climbers in the early days were some really special people. I mean there's people who take care of themselves to live long lives, but these people wanted to live life to the fullest. One second you're there and the next second the harness lets you fall or fall down a crevasse without a sound. You just blink out of existence and your partner has to live with that. I guess survivors guilt is part of that and makes you challenge death. Thanks for the reply.

Clint Eastwood's character is a professional hitman who takes on murder contracts from an albino SS officer who runs the CIA's black ops department. He takes these jobs (his day job is an art professor at a University) in order to buy priceless works of art that he stashes away in his basement so no one can see them because he believes the current generation lacks the proper appreciation for art. But you think he's gonna bawl his eyes out over some dudes he just met last week (and remember, he was only doing the climb because one of them was supposed to be a guy he was assigned to kill!).

Equally chilling is the soundtrack when they're in trouble, by none other than John Williams himself, who'd have thought?

When they all fall? That scene scared the daylights out of me in the trailer back in the day.

Austrian climber. :) Damn great line, yep.

Austrian climber!!!

The one and only - all hail the enormo eastwood

lol <spoiler>

Not really. He was there to sanction <anyone> to give the appearance that the US was striking back by sanctioning an agent. This is revealed to Clint at the end.

That line has echoes of another book by Trevennian, Shibumi.

After reading the book, i think it’s the best movie of Clint Eastwood as a director ! This movie is what James Bond movies should ever have been.

First saw this movie decades ago. You are right, that is one of the best lines I have ever heard. More importantly, over the years, has had allot of meaning in life.

Agreed. In all walks of life it's not what you do, its the way that you do it.

Gr8 point...is was a gr8 line. It also is a great attitude and mindset when the chips are down....!

I finally watched the movie. Had to repeat the "continue with style" line like 20 times in my head lol
