Black Diamond Presents: Slope Ascenders

But when I come see them at their house, it's more like they're feeding the ducks and harvesting cherries and Dorian's making teas. And helping mom garden and you know, I guess growing up in the Tetons, you know, just creates this real self-awareness and just like there's a super humble vibe that comes out with it. From my experience where we grew up, the wild nature that's untouched by humans and undeveloped is one of the most valuable things I can think of. What do we have like 1,300 pounds or 1,500 pounds of deer? To watch what they do in the mountains when they come back, it's completely crazy the positions they put themselves in. I come from a background of ski mountaineering in the Tetons and in Argentina. I grew up skiing on the east coast and learned a lot about the mountains from Dorian. It's super fun to watch and you would never know about it unless you're in their inner circle. Alaska is really unique because of its vast, immense amount of untouched wilderness. I'm up here with the guys and Maya's back at home. She hurt her shoulder pretty bad. Like this one that I was thinking, it's gonna be mega blind, like mega blind. Yeah, I think it's just that straight down. I better give it a ******* try. I know, I think it's way bigger than I thought too. It's like these are some ******* big-ass spines, like a thousand plus feet this ----, no? Yeah, this is like ******* epic. Have fun, dog. Yeah, boys. We just woke up. It's looking pretty warm out there. It didn't freeze last night. Raining yesterday and this didn't really freeze. It's really warm. We're going skiing? Yeah, we're going skiing. Did you remember everything? No, I forgot my skis. Ready? We've both gone through some good times and some bad times. I'd rather go through hard stuff with a good attitude than easy times with a bad attitude. Ow. It's like to be back after shoulder surgery and be out on my first mission. Mad water. Yeah, sick. Dude, look at that red ----. It's crazy, huh? There before we check out the boire. We got the sand, dude. Now we're here chilling on the peak. Have you still been having dreams of Alaska and skiing spines? Yeah, actually. Surprisingly, this seemed like one of the best seasons yet, huh? Yeah, it was actually a lot of fun.
