    I wish that you showed pictures with info just a few seconds longer. E.g. at about 10:20 where you show 3 different routes marked out, I had to go back a bit, and freeze the picture to have time to see which colour = which route. And I didn't manage to freeze it on my first attempt before it had already gone past to other images again, without I had to go back a second time to succeed.

    Please get your facts right mate, the 1967 Wilcox expedition didn’t take the West Buttress route, they climbed the mountain on the Muldrow Glacier route on the north side. Also the 2 expedition groups were not strictly from East coast and Alaska. Joe Wilcox group consists of members mainly from the east coast while the second group of 3 came from Colorado. Do your research first mate before you mislead everyone and lose credibility.

    Although interesting subject matter it's difficult to keep up with the storylines that alternate between ascent and decent, sometimes using ascent when its clearly a descent; Celsius and Fahrenheit; meters and feet not being clarified for distance or windspeeds; and, pounds and kilograms. Please include both due to world audience (I'm in U.S. but can translate between the two).
    Other than that, appreciate the content.
