Mt. Whitney (John Muir Trail Terminus) in 4K - Backpacking, Hiking and Camping the Sierras - AdventureArchives
video description
Whitney left it's mark on Bob M. - who's still way too modest ever to admit that he partly -saved the entire mission- after the main photo antenna froze midway in space. He solved the problem and 35-years later, no one's the wiser: ) I like to think that too was Mt. Whitney's gift to everyone in humility. Your videos speak for themselves. Thanks so much! Best,

I have watched several hours of your videos. and have enjoyed very much. My son has similar heart condition and this is first time I have heard you mention this even thought I have seen the scare in previous videos. I am just in awe in what you have been able to accomplish. He is very active in scuba divining now. I remember when he had to get and ok to go and the doctors said well. we have never had someone with a valve replacement request that before. They gave him the ok to go and it has been very rewarding to see him to be able to do what he loves to do. Just like your videos. It is amazing what medical science can do. I have enjoyed your videos and hope you can continue to do what you love to do also.

I have 5 older brothers so of course my dad was the scout master. The first year we camped at Whitney portals my dad just looked at the mountain. The next year dad and my uncle climbed it. 2 days up and 1 down. The year after that, dad and uncle Bruce each brought their boy scout troops. The first picture we have from the summit is dad and the two oldest boys. Then the younger of that pair with the next brother. And so on skipping me and the last with my younger brother. Dads grin got bigger each year. I never got to climb Whitney with my dad. I did help scatter his ashes from mt Coness.

Andrew is my new hero! I cried like a baby when he was thanking his parents at the end and talking about his heart condition and how its challenged him in life yet with his parents love and encouragement hes beat all of the challenges life has brought his way and then some. It's a beautiful testimony, I love all the guys ( and girls) from adventure archives, but this particular episode really touched my heart and soul. peace n love from Arizona!

Andrew! I also have a heart condition. Aortic Valve Stenosis. I-m missing a heart valve. You are an inspiration. I do hiking and some backpacking. But constantly have to be checking my heart man. I-m taking my 13 year old boy on his first backpacking trip. So excited and somewhat nervous. -. Living LIFE despite my condition. We can-t let fear hold us back! Keep walking till we can-t no more.

Really enjoyed this film, the masterful editing, camera work as well as the narrative, motivation and overall theme behind the film. Andrew's story at the summit was powerful. You guys really do incredible work giving perspective to people who want to know the stories of what it feels like to do these hikes. I'm really looking forward to what's to be told next!

It may seem like nit picking, but climbing a mountain and hiking up a well worn path are not the same thing (so the several -Why do we climb mountains. - bits would be better left out. Nice job hiking to the top, and nice job on the film. Just don't say you -climbed- Whitney (that involves ropes and much greater risk and skill.

I enjoyed watching this more than most movies I've watched in recent memory, and I take care only to watch the best of movies. Watching your adventures is in some ways more entertaining than going on my own. Every step along the way was relatable to me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures.

An incredible video! I have a lot of respect for your preparation work a head of time. Not only research into the hike itself but the physical training. I will never hike Mt Whitney but I am more motivated to keep my fitness level as high as I can for the hiking and summits I do plan to achieve. Thanks, guys!
