this is one of the most challenging
environments for a climber you can visit
anywhere on planet Earth big part of the
game is approaching these unclimbed
unexplored mountains and and looking for
the coolest way to get to the top that
for us as climbers is the path and we
spent a week ski touring around looking
you know with binoculars at every
mountain within striking distance of us
and this is without a doubt the proudest
line we found the environment is so
hostile you die up here in a matter of
hours without the right gear and the
right expertise this is like the SWAT
team special weapons and tactics this is
an eighth climbing or free climbing or
speed climbing this is just like
whatever it takes
it'll be spicy for sure every day we
wake up
we don't know what we're gonna be able
to do safely
you definitely have to work for
everything in Antarctica nothing is a
given you have to earn it
unpredictability it's about you know the
unknown
hundreds of mountains that are unclimbed
it's like being an astronaut going up
there going into outer space you need to
have a survival suit on you need to be
prepared for everything as a
counterbalance to that extreme
consequence and severity is just these
moments of surreal otherworldly beauty
