🔥 For people who’d rather be outside!

🪂 Turkey Booger-y & B.A.S.E. lunacy
📍 Moab, Utah, USA

🧗 The Yosemite Triple Crown — by 2 unknowns
📍 Yosemite National Park, California, USA

🏔️🇵🇰 Gasherbrum III — true alpine style
📍 Karakoram Range, Pakistan
Pure Himalayan grit. Two climbers head for Gasherbrum III in Pakistan, carrying everything and filming everything.
It’s raw, honest, and makes you question how anyone has the energy to climb and operate a camera at 7,000 meters.
