I understand your sentiment, but living your life trying to avoid risks is limiting. Real risks mean that accidents WILL happen, and you have to weigh that risk up against what you will lose. But pushing any boundaries is risky, that is the nature of this world. It is impossible to know the risk until you have tried, it is impossible to experience and to learn without taking risks. That is what you weigh up against. Learning, exploring and expanding the world. For me two things always matter; protecting the worthwhile (which is really hard to pinpoint) and curiosity. Think of the risks that astronauts, divers, pioneers, sailors, artisans, scientists and so many more has taken, at the risk and sometimes at the cost of their families, their communities and themselves. But in return they have given us the opportunity to experience space, the moon, the deep sea, reefs, shipwrecks, new continents, mountains, forests, islands, architecture and the understanding of our wild, natural world and the beautiful creatures that inhabit it. Without risks we would not know what we have destroyed, what we have created and what we need to protect and save, but also what we need to savour. That is not an embracement of unnecessary risk, but an acceptance that risks are intrinsic to widening our worldview and understanding our boundaries.

Do not fear death. Fear not living.

R.I.P. from Poland Hilaree

RIP amazing woman... 🙌

I earned my private pilot in 1982. I was very keen for a few years and then, because of work, I had to put it on hold. I never returned to flying, because of the risk I would be taking for my family. In that subsequent 38 years I did a lot things that fulfilled mine and my families life. Some risks are worth it, some aren't.

I hear you brother.

As a world record holder and lifetime ski mountaineer, am so thrilled to see such a phenomenal human achievement. Mad respect to the film crew, and both ski mountaineers, vast majority cannot grasp the magnitude of all the years and years of preperation BEFORE getting ready to successfully accomplish an absolutely incredible human achievement, so fucking awesome, Congrats Hillary and Mojo rising!

I really hope Chin is or at least contemplating a full length doc on Hilaree.. he's the one to do it true justice & she deserves an indepth life doc! Amazing woman 🙏💜

Truly epic. Mad respect that you added the Sherpa at the end.

this man, Jimmy Chin is extremely talented, his work is marvelous. Specially the documentary 'Meru'. Thank you for everything you do with the passion. It teaches a lot. I have learnt many things from you Jimmy. Lots of respect and love from amateur mountaineer.

This is what I wanted to mention as well. You did it for me very nice way. (That unexpected angles, once well behind them two, than in few moments in front of them, absolutely well trained and filmmaking talented). So was the camera man? Nick Kalizs?

Jimmy Chin is the spokesperson for the heart of mountaineering. ✌🏼🙏🏻❤️🏔

I climbed the Squamish Chief with my son...on the trail on the right side. I AM proud of that. It blew my son away and the views up top were extraordinary.

When I read the news, I immediately thought if this video. Has been such an inspiration for me. RIP.

I came here to re-watch this amazing video/accomplishment only to read the comments and am shocked to hear about Hilaree. RIP

Best part start at 21:21 , One of the best video through North Face.......

After seeing this this and already being a passionate Alpinist( I‘m 17)I finally know what I wanna do later on in my life. Make my passion become my profession. 🤙

Coming back to this story to remember Hilaree and Jim skiing at the top of the world, and their love and trust for each other. RIP Hilaree.

she died doing what she loved . I am sure she would do that all over again . here to the few brave , who have lived

LOVE that they gave the sherpas a voice and paid much due recognition to them.

That was an amazing film, big shout out the the Sherpas that make everything in those mountains possible.

The Sherpas flexing their summits at the end.... Priceless ❤ Amazingly well done to everyone. RIP Hilaree Nelson.

I saw this video some time ago and I remembered this amazing woman. My best to her family and friends in their difficult time. She was such a force of life!

Climbing is so cool yet so self-indulgent.

Yeah I think it’s kinda selfish for her to keep doing incredibly dangerous things while she has small children.

Thats such a nice gesture to let the sherpas a chance to say their name and how many times they summited.

Lost track of how many times I've watched this. Every time it pops up it is as good as the first time. Massive respect to the shredders. We've seen so many bold adventures with this incredible couple. Condolences, Jim and family. Rip in peace, Hilaree.

As motivating as something can be! Hats off to the whole team. This is an incredible achievement and the cinematography is astounding too!
