Short filmTranscript
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?
