Simple advice from someone in his 50's. You are NOT what you do; not your job; not your hobbies. Don't let your identity get caught up in those. Those are simply things you do. Worry and work at who you are on the inside, your thoughts, insecurities, prides, etc. The places your mind goes when you are quiet are where you learn the most about yourself. Pay attention to that. Build up what you like. Work on changing what you don't. Your young body will become old but who you are inside will always be there.
this is so important. thank u for the reminder, truly.
You are what you do and what you are do matters we are our actions .
@@GPMD606 I disagree but you are absolutely free to think that. I do believe that what you do matters. I do believe that what you do reflects aspects of who you are. What you do can even influence who you are, so choose wisely what you do. But you existed before you started doing a thing, you will exist after you stop doing a thing and you can decide to do something else. You are not what you do.
Props to The North Face for sponsoring the climb. I've been using their gear since the early 1980's and it's saved my bacon in a lot of extreme conditions over the years. Good stuff.
You show how to face fear, and when you conquered it, you’re humbled by the experience. You can reach the peak, and yet you’re always well grounded. Nothing but love ❤ for you, Eva.
Congratulations on your incredible achievement of summiting the highest peak of Mexico! It takes immense determination, strength, and skill to accomplish such a feat, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself for reaching the summit.
Your accomplishment serves as an inspiration to many, and we are in awe of your passion for exploring and conquering new challenges. We believe that your dedication and perseverance will take you to even greater heights in the future, and we can't wait to see what other accomplishments you will achieve.
Once again, congratulations on this incredible accomplishment, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Congratulations, Eva. You're such a courageous person. Facing your fear. I salute you
We recently drove past Pico de Orizaba! We waved at you as you went by! It's also the tallest volcano in North America. So glad you're highlighting it. Hard to believe it's so close to the coast of Veracruz.
I remember reading Bernal Diaz' account of the conquest. He recalls many of the men viewing Orizaba from a ship in the Gulf and speculating on whether the white stuff they were seeing was actually snow in those latitudes.
I bought a pair of those North Face slippers for men based on Eva's recommendation in this video. I'm glad I did. They are super comfy and warm. I almost forget I'm wearing them. I have chemo induced peripheral neuropathy as the result of a nearly a year of battling cancer. The neuropathy causes a severe sensitivity to cold resulting in tingling and numbness in my fingers and feet. I have tile floors in much of my house...so I was really needing some good slippers to insulate me from the cold tile and thus the neuropathy that comes with it. I had tried some other slippers but they were bulky and I had a hard time keeping them from falling off. These North Face slippers are great. So glad that Eva recommended them.
Very nicely captured and presented, as always! This really brings up many memories for me. I climbed Orizaba around 1985, and was asked to lead the climb, as our guide wasn't feeling well that day. It was about 5F and very windy. I ended up with frost-bitten feet and high-altitude pulmonary edema on the summit, and wondered if I'd lose my toes or be able to descend, but got my strength back quickly on the way down. Piedra Grande hut was infested with rats at that time, scurrying over our sleeping bags at night. I still have those old leather boots, strap-on crampons, and wooden ice axe hanging on my wall as art now :) Here's to many more adventures for both of us. Stay safe and make these lifelong memories!
Don't beat yourself up over the Wonderland trail. You didn't quit, you had an untimely illness. These things happen and you made the right call given the circumstances. And this was an incredible climb, I can't believe you did it in 6 hours!
Exactly you rock girl .🎉
I was just about to comment the same thing, and I still may, just so she gets the point that lots of us feel this way. I was actually worried that she was going to force herself to push on during that run, and I had a bad feeling the whole time. I was glad she stopped, and kinda wished she had done so sooner.
@@wirelesmike73 Exactly, if she hadn't stopped and turned back on the Wonderland trail, it could have very easily ended with her getting air lifted out, or worse.
She just wants content
Wow... this brought me to tears. Thank you as always for sharing this momentous adventure with us.
In 1991 I did a similar climb up the volcano just south of Mexico City. It was 18000 ft. a little less than yours. Popocetipectal or something similar. I am strictly an armature going with a friend who climbs alot. One of the hardest things I've done. And proud of it. One step at a time. You go girl.
Popocatépetl, it's an active Vulcano (recently had a big blast) but that one is closed since around 2000's because people got injured climbing it (yes, because of a vulcanic explosion).
This is surely one your absolute best VLOGS Eva! So stoked that it has given you more confidence again in your own amazing abilities. As for North Face sponsoring this VLOG = brilliant and long may it continue - you're such a great brand ambassador and it really is a good brand too (been in love with their gear for decades now).
Love the beautiful photography too - you've captured the mountain's majesty 🙂
Wooo hoooo you did it - we are so proud of you t- hat was a seriously epic adventure. I can't believe you did it so fast and managed to film it as well . You are an inspiration to us all. Sending much love from us C&M xx
Congratulations on your goal Eva. I’m proud of you. Making it all the way to the summit. Good job.
I am truly glad you got that confidence back and I love that was in my country!!! Pico de Orizaba is no joke and you did great!!!
Beautiful views. My dear Mexico has so many natural wonders. Congratulations Eva for your enthusiasm and strength to continue, they arrived in 6 hours!!!! Enjoy, many greetings from Mexico City 👋🏻😃
What an amazing journey. Big thumbs up to the guide, he was so passionate and caring :) Youre the perfect team
Thank you Eva for taking us all up with you. Bravo!
Brilliant, Eva. I used to climb fourteeners in Colorado. The thrill of summiting, of seeing your birdseye view in the colours of high altitude, cannot be described any other way than just being there, yourself. Well done, you
Hi Eva! Thank you for sharing your climbing challenge. I just love watching you in every possible situation, and how you gain confident every time. Greetings from Norway.
Greetings from Greece. Good job Eva! Thanks for sharing the experience. Keep climbing! Never fear !😀
Eva you’ve been an inspiration for me during lockdown when I was stuck in Oman, watching your adventures in Socotra island. Thank you for always sharing your journey with us despite the haters, the low moments and all ❤
A beautiful and poetic video- loved it, as always!
So glad you gave it another go, this time with a guide. Great video. Amazing scenery
Hi Eva, You are one amazing adventurer and storyteller. Looking forward to your next one. Stay safe.
Wow! Congratulations! That's incredible!
I thoroughly enjoyed this one Eva! What a stunning mountain and beautiful job capturing your journey. I might have to book myself a trip to Pico de Orizaba as well
Congratulations Eva. The video was worth the wait. Thank you always.
Very impressive---you're back in the saddle again!!! Where was Vilk???? I so much look forward to seeing him!!! Also, very happy for you and your conquering of your last episode fears----WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING!!!
Dear Eva,
I'm from Mexico, currently living abroad, and this video made me feel so emotional, thank you. Those images from the summit are so beautiful. I'm happy to know that you made it to the top of the Citlaltepetl. Wish you the best time in Mexico.
Thanks for sharing all your adventures. You live an amazing life!
You did a great job of seamlessly integrating the NorthFace advertisement in your video. Your presentation is effective because you were yourself and the audience was simply watching you be your normal self.
Evening Eva, Wow what an Epic video! What an incredible view too to see the dawn and the mountain casting it's vast shadow. I bet your feeling an incredible high for achieving that goal too. That other wonderland trail.. we all have over off day's and just so happened you had one in the middle of that hike, but like the very experienced explorer that you are you made the right call at the right time...that's what I think anyway for what it's worth. Onward to more adventures! Health@Happiness to you.
Wow, I would love to do this. It's a good idea to hire guides for these kinds of adventures as you learn a lot and can manage the risk better. The last 2 years have seen a lot of 'firsts' for me in terms of glacier walking, learning to rock climb, via ferrata etc. I'm learning from the guides and instructors and it's making my own exploration safer and more enjoyable
yay - always happy to see another adventure post from Miss Eva!
Congratulations Eva. Well done. It is an amazing undertaking and a great video.
Kick ass adventure and climb. Congratulations on the success and making the summit. Especially while carrying a pretty heavy pack. I know the effort well. The shadow of the mountain was a fantastic shot. I'd capture that and sell prints. Outstanding!
This accomplishment is just what you needed, when you needed it. Congrats Eva!! I look forward to joining you on your next adventure...via a screen viewed from the comfort of a warm room LOL!
A few years a go I suffered what I thought was an anxiety attack. I was struggling with everything, I was feeling claustrophobic. even in large places like really big super markets if I couldn't see the door to the outside. I saw a councillor called Agnes , who advised me to read a book Called "Feel the Fear and do it anyway" written by Susan Jeffers. This helped with the massive adrenaline surges of fear. Anybody feeling worried and anxious should give it a read, it makes so much sense . My councillor Agnes was marvellous , talking to her and getting all my problems out in the open with her. She explained we all put our problems in a box not dealing with them. Pull yourself together , get on with it, we use all these excuses not to face a problem and deal with it. Then finally they come over the top and you just can't cope with them all. Every body gets scared but its how you face that fear that matters.
I will look for that book 👍
a huge hug Eva. always my admiration for how brave you are and because you face your fears and manage to get ahead. always enjoying each of your videos, from Ecuador.
Congratulations Eva! I'm a new fan. This is only the 2nd video of yours I've seen now. I clicked on this one because I summited this same mountain when I was in my late 20's (about to turn 50 now). I don't have many pictures at all from the trip and this was like getting to relive it:) Your camera and editing skills make for some amazing viewing. Thanks for this! PS. subscribed now and will watch many more of your vids! keep it up:)
Congratulations. Anyone that experiences altitude sickness knows that doing anything physical over 16,000ft up is brutal. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, so well shot and edited.
Your doing amazing, keep going. You got this. Thank you for sharing these beautiful adventures with us.
Thank you for the free adventure and thank you for always taking us with you Eva ❤
Great job Eva !! What an incredible achievement !❤️
Orizaba is such a fun climb. Did it a few years ago and the conditions were awful right until the morning we climbed. Lucked out and made it to the summit. Incredible view from up top
Well done Eva, amazing achievement! Love your videos and your voice overs and just poetic, love your voice.
Eva, you are incredible! Your message at the end of the video is really encouraging!
So, thank you, really!
You are an inspiration, Eva! I attempted to hike the Salkantay Trek this past summer and the elevation kicked my butt 😅 It was the most difficult and most painful challenge that I had ever took on. But because of you (you brave human, you), I'm going to continue doing these majestic and terrifying hikes.
So happy for you and for NorthFace sponsoring this for you. Great video, I felt like I was hiking it with you. Glad also you got your confidence back. Don’t forget the puppy for Vilk lol 😂
Wish Patagonia would've sponsored her. She's been sporting Patagonia clothes for a long time and they are very eco friendly.
Thank you, Eva, for showing me this most beautiful place. It is something that I would never in a lifetime have seen. Your courage and endurance is most wonderful. May God keep you safe.
Eva, that brought a tear to my eye, the summit view.
What a wonderful experience that must have been.
Gratulacje Eva !!! Dopielas celu !!!😃🎉🎊🎉🎊💪💚🌺🍀
Been missing these kinda videos. Brilliant achievement, would love to climb it one day.
You are living life to it's fullest, your way and it's awesome. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Wow! What an amazing view. Kudos to you for taking on such a challenge. Congrats on making it to the summit! As always thank you for taking us along your greatest adventures. Be safe! Give Vilk some doggo love from your UA-cam family. Keep up the good work. :))
Wonderful journey. Thank you!!!!
Here in Canada the north face products are top quality. What ever adventure you do don't feel you have complete it for your viewers/subbers. Do it for you, ✌❤ respect!
Having said that what an awesome view!
You’re a boss Eva! Thanks for taking us along your journey. Love your vids and I can totally see you on a much bigger platform! Best wishes!
I'll never forget that look on your face when you reached the summit.....beautiful!
Gratuję wstąpienia do rodziny sportowców The North Face :)
Wow what a amazing achievement good job Eva. This has inspired me to get out there a climb a mountain myself but maybe not as high as this haha
Well done Eva! Congratulations on the summit!
Fantastic! What an accomplishment! I enjoy watching your journey!
Great job Eva so proud of you! The true failure isnt not finishing but not even trying! ❤️❤️❤️
You rock Eva keep it up
Great video 👍 your really good at making these. Congratulations on your summit
OMG 😱! You have reminded me of when I climbed Mt. Shasta. I was 19 and was a summer intern timber cruiser working for the Mt. Shasta Ranger District, living in a US Forest Service cabin in the mountains west of the city of Mt. Shasta. On a weekend I drove to the parking lot at the base of Mt. Shasta’s peak. There were a couple of pretty girls lugging skies on the side of the road trying to hitch a ride on the road up but I didn’t stop because their skies would have scratched up the inside of my Camaro 😅! The drive took longer to get there than I expected, the sun was already just starting to set. I had NO IDEA 🤷🏻♂️what I was doing! I did have a puffer North Face down jacket I had for years that was very warm and I had a warm hat, I also wore some leather work gloves they were all I had. I looked at the trail signs that pointed to a trail that wondered off somewhere and looked up at the ridge that headed straight up almost to the peak so I went that way! That worked for the first couple hours of climbing, luckily Mt. Shasta is so much higher than all surrounding mountains the sun stayed up longer than usual at those hights, but then it started looking dangerous! I couldn’t see the peak so I wandered off into the East face that was a MASSIVE bolder field, the going through the boulders was difficult but it was a clear route to the top. It was arduous 😥 and boring because it took forever, I just kept going. My hands were very cold as the gloves had long since soaked through. Finally I wondered up to the top, it was 12:30 AM, there were various groups of young hikers at the top who had all sorts of equipment they were all pretty cranky they said it was a lot colder than expected. One guy was with a group that had set up camp in a secluded space in the boulders at the top and he was very visibly shivering freezing to death ☠️ warming his hands next to a tiny hiking stove. I was in a GOOD MOOD 😄 SMILING walking around talking to people. My hands were WARM I felt GOOD, a little lightheaded, I had the early stages of hypothermia and I knew it! I saw everything there was to see at the top and walked directly west over the snow, probably over the glacier at the top, and headed down the steep side covered with snow. I was taking huge many foot leaps through the snow down the face because it was steep so I could move a little faster that way. It seemed like it took forever but I finally got to the bottom and started looking for the parking lot, it was about 5:00 AM. I had not anticipated how difficult it would be to find my car, there were no lights in the area and it was pitch black! It took about 30 minutes to find my car, but I did, and drove back to the cabin. I rested up and I was fine, no frostbite everything fine. 😅
You never cease to amaze me, Eva. You are truly an inspiration. I hope we crossed paths someday.
Parabéns 👏 seus vídeos são incríveis
Well done, Eva. I was very emotional when you arrived at the summit 👏
congrats eva, it is hard to believe you and your guide got to the top in just over 6 hours. the view from the top was fantastic.
I love all of your adventures but this was by far my favorite recent one! Come out to the east coast USA and do the Long Trail 😀
If u saw her last video saying goodbye for NOW
( wich i just watched )
YOU SHOULD MENTION interestung places there for her to seek out. As again, im sure u have seen whenever it is that she returns. She plans for it to be USA
I had no idea there was such a tall mountain in Mexico!
Congratulations on your climb. Thank's for sharing the incredible views.
Congratulations on the climb and for the North Face sponsorship, a perfect fit for your various journeys. I’m sure you will pick up some more along the way.
What an amazing story and experience! A really big virtual hug to you Eva!
Congrats! It can be a slippery slope to tie one's identity to accomplishments. I sense you understand this well based on what you share on your channel. Your value is beyond question...your heart is your real identity. 😀
👌
Thanks for the video Eva. I did Orizaba recently and enjoyed it! It was definitely a challenge!
Oh my goodness! Eva! Thank you so much for THIS! I will tresure these views! A place i am sure i will never get to and you took us on our Private climb. 6hr 20min. I am in AWE OF YOU!
Juan Mendoza was my guide on Pico de Orizaba in February 2020. He was great, very patient and encouraging !! Glad you were able to climb with him !!
What guide service is he with!? Was hoping to climb Pico de Orizaba this year!
@@basajaunnn OMG Orizaba Mountain Guides is company I booked through
@@timothyvanriper8074 thank you so much!
Kudos to you, Eva. You are very well onto your way to adventure stardom! And congratulations on "snagging" The North Face as a sponsor. By all indications you could not have found a better sponsor. Truly an excellent outfitter! Congratulations! Your filming, narration, and editing are fabulous as well. Totally superb. Keep up the good work. But take time to relax as well.
Awesome video! So inspiring. I always enjoy your videos but this one was extra special. Appreciate your great work.
Eva... Knowing how you are, being such a courageous adventurer, you take us to such amazing locations.. We all know the effort and determination you endeavor yourself to complete these treks... Reaching the summit with you felt such an accomplishment... Thank you for another amazing video.... Safe travels Eva...
I get to live vicariously through you. Wow, that was a very exhilarating hike for me. Well done!
Eva, You're amazing!! ❤️🙂 always waiting for your videos. thank you for showing us this experience of yours. 🤗😘
I check for a new video every morning! Was so happy to see an update on your life
Agree, the guide was amazing. Thanks for highlighting this mountain as a possible tourist destination
Congrats Eva! Very proud of you that you accomplished something that many people wouldn't even attempt to do or even try for that matter! Also Thank You for showing us how beautiful our great world is! From the central part of the US wishing you safe & warm travels on your journey!
It's probably higher than Everest thanks to the bulge around the equator.
In fact you should do Mt Chimborazo in Equador. Its summit is literally the highest point on earth.
Fantastic, what an achievement. Well done Eva. 👍👍👍
So happy for you Eva! Congrats on such a big win! 💜
Great achievement Eva! I have been watching your videos for about 2 years now and I find them very inspiring. Even products placements (like North Face here) are done in a very natural way. Pozdrowienia z Polski :)
Congratulations to you Eva on your spectacular journey up that gorgeous mountain. Way to go!
How was it climbing down?
Glad you made it safely.
See you in the next video. Hugs and kisses to the beautiful Vilk 💙
Never give up, that's what you have done Eva. Great of you. Bravo 👏👏👏
What a mind blowing Adventure literally, Great great efforts, More Power to you !!
Eva, I am so very impressed with your assent of the mountain. It is huge! I have flown around it in a helicopter and the enormous beauty is absolutely breathtaking. Speaking of breathtaking, the altitude is something to respect. As a pilot I am quite used to it but not everyone can do well in it. To be doing physically demanding work such as the climb is much harder than just being there.
Bravo! Your Pal Al
Congratulations Eva ! You accomplished a very brave journey and you can definitely be soooo proud of yourself ! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Don’t be too hard on yourself for the race you were not able to do. You tried instead of sitting thinking you wouldn’t be able to do it.
Trying is brave !!!
🥳💖
'Brave' has to be one of the over used and wrongly used words in the English language.
It's not 'brave' to climb a mountain and it's not 'brave' to take on the race either.
She did well climbing the mountain and she attempted the race. Trying isn't brave though. Trying is something we all do, every day.
Love you family you need coco leaves and oxygen tank
@@scottw.3258 Hi Scott. In fact, we all try things everyday, but it’s brave to try things that difficult ! Very few people attempt this kind of things. 😊
@@alexandral6273 It's not 'brave'. Perspective is key here when using that word. It gets slung around like a cheap hooker at New Year.
It may be admirable to challenge yourself, but it's not 'brave'. 'Brave' is that Mother suffering from cancer but still going on looking after her family. That's 'brave'. 'Brave' is going into a burning building to rescue a child. That's 'brave'. 'Brave' is standing against oppression, knowing it means certain death. That's 'brave'.
Climbing a mountain with an experienced guide is not, under any circumstance 'brave'. Admire it by all means but it's not 'brave'. Learn the meaning of the word and the context in which it should be used.
What another great and courageous experience Eva! I would also have loved to see a few shots descending 😊 I was curious. Descending looked really scary
You are amazing 🤩😍, I love to travel along on all your adventures! Inspiring and fun!🙏🏻🙏🙏🏽💜🐕🐾 be safe lovely friend!
