I didn't realise the documentary was on CZcams! Im very thankful to the rescue services for pulling out the stops and getting us all down, Steve, Antony and I all suffered different injuries, but we still love the outdoors! Im still climbing internationally and loving every moment...
So happy you all survived !! I couldn’t even imagine that cold
You guys are amazing 🤩
@@christineleahy2013 it was a heck of an experience which affected us all in many ways, but we’re still going strong..!
@@nigelvardy I’m so happy you all survived, and still doing what you love doing !! you guys must be made of steel💪💪💪I was shivering watching the cold ye had to endure 🥶
This comment from @Nigel Vardy needs to be pinned.
Thankful you all made it out alive, my fellow Brit 🙏
Glad you survived Nigel and yr mates
You won't see better performances by the entertainers in Hollywood that get paid millions to do similar material. I noticed that this is a common sentiment under these videos. These actors draw you in, make the actual people relatable to us.
So true!!
Very true
Yes agree.
So true!
Tru dat
Definitely lucky... but the frostbite is scary... nobody is going to catch me trying to climb up a mountain... it’s dangerous enough for me on level ground..
Robert Nocera Jr at least give Everest a try
@@BillBiggs1 Robert and I will have our people contact your people. 😎😉
Agree Rob, I Have Children To Think About, Much More Important
@@mariakelly1059lol
That leg pain was hard to watch
So true
Yeah mate broken bones make me tense up like crazy
Kne
Awful
How weird, I’m clicking through recommended vids and come across this, watching it and realise my cousin is one of the reenactment actors (Anthony) ...small world?! 😄
No way!
Cool! He did a great job!
WOW! You did a great job, Anthony🤩
Seriously? 😲
Lol that's crazy...
🤔I’ve noticed that a lot of times when “tragedy” or “bad luck” strikes, it’s because the people took a “more difficult, less traveled route” or they disregard weather warnings altogether....it’s usually some sort of deviation from the normal routine....no matter how slight that causes a number of catastrophic occurrences to then take place putting their lives at risk. It’s absolutely crazy😅
Men love to take chances. So do I. LOL
Who is responsible ..
And no satellite phone
Nailed it!
I wanted to jump with some friends but my parachute wasn’t folded. I borrowed a smaller, much faster parachute the required a lot more skill to maneuver. At about 40 mph I hit a concrete post with my sacrum which broke into r pieces. Both legs broken too, two discs in my spine completely herniated and biting into my nerve medular canal. I did go out of my routine and took an unnecessary risk just not to miss a plane ride.
All of these documentaries are amazing re-enactments !
I thought the same, those actors are amazing.
Some of these actors are truly superb 👌
It makes you realise that these guys just love life. Here's Steve jogging with one leg and I haven't jogged in months. Life's a funny thing
More importantly, it's a warning not to get fit in case I get dangerous ideas like mountain climbing or jogging in the desert... all those other things that leave you legless in dramatic reenactments...
refreshing to see one of these stories where none of them grew resentful or started putting the blame on anyone. these three men stuck together and overcame this horrible time. and even now they’re still friends and want to continue going on adventures together, we love to see it.
Tell me again why mountain climbing is fun? So glad they all survived!!!!!
Lol 🤣😅😅
I can't speak for all, but to me, getting closer to death makes life all the more enjoyable. In the modern world we often forget that life was, for the vast majority of life's history, a constant struggle.
Plus there's no view like a summit view.
Hahaha. I've asked myself that question a fair few times too. I still can't think of an acceptable answer
46:25
I find the idea of splunking under tons of rock and squeezing through cracks you hope you don't get wedged in, about as equally appealing.
The human will and mind power can be unreal! Anthony's love, care and respect for his fellow climber is endless. My respect for this MAN is giant! Anthony you are a hero !
Anthony was the nly one left, who could save them. Even if he wasn't the one to save them, im glad he was there, they all are true heros!
yes anthony is a true friend and a true hero!
Anthony has a big heart, his kindness is so genuine and inspiring ~ 👍❄️💕
This show seems like they go thru a lot of filming & trouble just to make 45 min vids, from helicopters to filming at actual mountains, oceans, jungles or so it seems like it, & the actors are top notch! Makes me think abt all they go thru behind the scenes lol
The cinematography on this series reminds me of the incredible work done by Hollywood legend Roger Deakins.
In the DVD set there was a "making of" that showed some of the creative process. Much of the climbing, kayaking, backcountry stuff is actually in the wild, just never that far from the safety of a road, camp, helicopter, etc. Very creatively used camera angles to make things seem bigger, grander than they were at times. Some of the underwater shots were done in pools, some pretty creative stuff there.
What a kind soul Antony is. Bless him.
Indeed! He has a big heart! ! 👍👏💕
Yes how dare Nigel make a distress call when you're literally freezing to death the audacity
The obsession of mountain climbing is something I will never ever understand.
Same thing could be said for the love of material possessions 🤷
@@dirtbagseth Yep, another thing I'll never understand.
Ditto!
@@dirtbagseth material possesions dont result in losing all your limps
@@killerdiva7771 just the whole emotional aspect of your life
Having had a one year old grandchild recently lose her foot and toes to meningococcal, I was in awe seeing Steve run at the end I'm almost in tears, knowing how much of a challenge it is to recover from loss of limb. Seeing those end shots gave me hope that one day my granddaughter might also run again. I'm so glad these men made it out alive and shared their stories.
That’s so sad, but at least she’s so young that she’ll grow up adapting to it and probably be perfectly fit and healthy!
Very glad she made it, prayers that she'll be able to be active and do everything she wants to do! 🙏
❤❤❤❤😢 so sorry…she’ll overcome
It looks like so real!! How could they have filmed it so perfectly? Its unbelievable!!!
Everything is possible nowadays nothing special about it looking so perfect, just saying not being an annoying dude
I’m pretty sure it’s an reenactment, like in crime documentaries.
@@jalynwishem3043 ha!!!
@@user-fo2ik1vt4b Well, this was shot in 2006. My guess is much of the climbing and outdoor shots were done in British Columbia. Garibaldi, Whistler, Blackcomb, the mountains around there. Perhaps more north and west. Shots of Denali itself were stock, or 2nd unit that flew out there just to get footage.
What an honor to hear from you Nigel! So glad you guys made it out of this one! ❤️
Truly one of the most inspirational stories I have seen. In dark, lonely and pain-filled nights I will envision these boys struggling and overcoming!. I am in awe. Thank you.
Hoping you have few to none of those
And we’re still overcoming Natalie..!
“Steve has fallen about 1100 feet” .... well he wanted to get down fast... that he did. That Steve is one rough dude.
I laughed out loud, how morbid, but it's funny because it's true tho XD
But unfortunately, it didn't really get him anywhere nevertheless.
Antony seemed like the only clued up decent human being out of all 3 of them
The sad thing is he broke a survival rule by taking an unessisary risk.
After watching over a dozen of these I can see how huge a simple Mylar space blanket would help in almost every situation from conserving body heat, shelter, water collection and signaling for help.
I decided I definitely need one!
yes
A flare or two would be a great signal.
Lol. Yes, I carry one as kit. But try utilizing one in 70mph winds.
@@shotforshot5983 In the cave there was no wind.
Ego is the ultimate enemy of man. Never think yourself greater than mother nature.
excess fat which you need in a situation like that--I'd do well.
Barefoot Prof 😊
Lol me too
Me too. I'd never be able to climb up in the first place.
Im a twig and would die in 30 min on a mountian
"Let's leave all our equipment behind" on mountain expeditions , must rank with "Let's split up in" horror films
😂😂😂😂
I binge watch these documentaries. The film making is really great. The actors are powerful.
I’m glad these people survived.
yes Claire Galvez I think somebody was praying cuz those three surviving was a miracle
Thankfully we all did..! I’m still mountaineering and in Scotland at this moment…
@@nigelvardy wow! That’s great! 😊
I’m so happy to hear from you. 😮☺️
@@nigelvardy I'm from Scotland 😊 How did/are you finding it? We have very small mountains in comparison to other places but they are beautiful all the same. I just climbed my first munro recently and the experience was amazing. It's amazing you survived, your meant to be here 💜
Hope you enjoyed Scotland 😊💜
@@hazelmoore2976 hi Hazel, I adore climbing in Scotland and enjoyed a great day on the Ben recently. Which monroe did you climb..?
How do they make these movies so realistically!
If is not rhetorical, then Hollywood is easily capable of far more
I don't know how ..
Because this was a cable TV series with a Hollywood budget, LOL
Photoshop
Put a face on a ⚽️
nothing personal, but i wont want a friend like him. He almost died at night, forces you to keep him warm so he doesnt die. And in the morning he wants to continue... like bro
He didn't force his friend to keep him warm, he pleaded with his friend to keep him warm because he could have died without that extra warmth. What is so bad about that?
@@rl7012 I don't think he meant "force" as in actual force; more like how you're "forced" to help your mom with the groceries 😉.... The kind of "forced" where you "have to" help out a family or friend because not helping isn't an option (cause you care about them). You know? That's how I saw it anyway. 🙂
@@rl7012 Nothing whats bad is the fact he wanted to continue the next morning. WTH
@@hollygallapoo5812 he wanted as everything seemed fine again UNTIL they saw Nigel's face. Then he said they should go back
Kudos to the actors!!
And let's have a big round of applause for the cameraman, ladies and gentlemen!
Steve is a true mountaineer. Those folks are incredibly driven, tough, and danged near unbreakable - although McKinley certainly tried to break these three men. What an inspiring story!
Meanwhile I'm sitting on the couch eating donuts while watching 🤣
when where not Climbing mountaineers are training it's all about being in shape.
I'm retired from Climbing age and injuries has cought up with me.
it's amazing and quite sad to me those days are behind me now.
but yes there tough stubborn people .
@@jerryrichards8172 there s a level for everybody . .. still enjoying the big ones ... luckily we age .. :-)
So glad they made it out alive and have not lost their sense of adventure. Bravo guys!
After losing all his fingers, his right foot and left leg and after getting rescued from the claws of death, he can't wait to do it all over again. And for what, the bragging rights of having reached the top of a mountain?
😮....they are insane!
What I’ve learnt from this: if you’re going to go up crazy mountains make sure you put on a couple of stone in weight first.
😂😂
I am ready.
“Nigel look!”...... he can’t lol
😂
😆
When I was a younger person I thought I’d like to do this, now I think I must have been out of my mind
What an amazing story! The sheer will to live amid such dire and bleak circumstances is astounding. The decision to go out on his own to find help for him and his friends and continuing that endeavor with broken legs is heroic. Afterwards, even though Steve is disabled, he continues on with his life and does more things than I even do. I'm sure it was so easy to fall into depression over the situation but heis thriving. This is such an inspiring and uplifting story! I will remember the will of these men when life gets me down at tiimes and I find myself in a depression. Massive respect for Antony. I have huge respect for Steve and Nigel as well as their sheer will to survive in -30 degree weather is in itself, heroic.
They literally took the least amount of precautions and the most amount of risks. If it wasn't for wise Nigel they would have been all dead.
Anthony is the real hero of the three,,,He saved both of their lives at different times.... Nigel is Steve's victim...
Lessons learned, don't climb a mountain, don't wander around the grand canyon, a desert, or the outback, don't go into bear country, don't get on a helicopter, don't swim in the ocean, don't take a small boat out onto the ocean, don't get into a single engine aircraft, and don't go off a trail in a forest in the middle of nowhere. Your chances for survival just increased significantly! You'll thank me later in your old age.
Or better still, don't do those things negligently. In all those stories, someone engaged in negligence in some form... they ignored or denied something that cost them.
I know it’s a joke…but a lot of people believe that just based on these videos. Similarly, car travel is way more deadly than commercial air travel, but the many videos on plane crashes, and almost none on car crashes, make some people say “no way will I fly….I will just drive instead.” You are also safer in most national parks than in the suburbs, but these videos make some people think being in the outdoors is a death trap.
@@Itried20takennames man wasn’t made to endure freezing temperatures and climb a mountain so high that you will die without oxygen
True. Anyway, fancy a wander in the Amazon...
don't get on a helicopter, don't swim in the ocean, don't take a small boat out onto the ocean-don't be ridiculous with these 3, just let someone know, just in case something goes wrong: think failsafe, think ahead, be proactive cause your life is at stake
I hope and pray that that guy does not feel guilty for getting frostbitten for keeping his friends from going to the top he should not feel guilty about that they made the right decision to go back
Agreed :( it was so sad to see him feeling guilty, even to this day, when that may have been the decision that kept them alive
You think?
I don't know how they do it, lose body parts and still have that desire to go back. I can't even cope with temps below 15°C/59°F! I've never lived in snowy conditions in Australia and everytime I watch these types of stories or movies I shudder at the thought of freezing to death.
Yeah I don't know how they do it after losing body parts, I'd be done for sure.
I don’t think it’s worth loosing all your limbs..but I’m still glad they’re alive..Mother Nature don’t care.
Dang!! That fall was crazy
If you want to see something even scarier, watch the episode about the Zambezi River.
Thank you for sharing your extreme examples of survival while caring for each other. And how you dealt with your damaged bodies afterwards is truly inspiration to everyone like me who needs a dose of courage.
I am addicted to Mt climbing vids. Great job actors an glad you guys survived
I don't understand why people put themselves at risk never will
What kind of sport that warrants hypothermia is considered fun???? I’d never in a million years take part in a sport as dangerous and tedious as this one....
Me neither. I think mountain climbing is really weird.
Please know fools thinking climbing a treacherous mountain risking hypothermia n frostbite is fun so that they can have a view from the top for few seconds probably while struggling for oxygen.. I get a better view of mountains from youtube 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Frommoonlightwithlove Please don't be a prententious
@@mariakelly1059 😒
I'll take it a step beyond calling it "weird".....it is pure insanity disguised as being adventurous!
I can't believe they survived. Incredible
Grown men decide to play on a mountain, then need to call others to risk their lives in order to save them.
Give an award to the actors of this series!
Steve Ball surviving the night of being in open exposure as he was is amazing. I hate thinking about the physical and mental pain he was feeling as he was essentially waiting for death. It must’ve felt hopeless
How in God's name could you even think about climbing another mountain after all that???
I know, right. I really don't think I could ever comprehend this desire some people have for adventure to the point of facing death but still want more.
He keeps climbing because he loves it. He loves being up in the mountains and taking part In outdoor life. The risks keep it interesting and Mother Nature is beautiful. Why wouldn't he want to carry on doing what he loves while he can?
@@rl7012 because { insert video here} ..... Did the video not show you enough reasons as to why he shouldn't do this again? Especially after having a second chance at life
Mother nature s beautiful n deadly
Selfish really, they already needed search and rescue from other people risking their lives :(
This sport is sheer lunacy!!!😵 I'm glad they all made it! Go back?!? I can't comprehend that😕
This teaches me to stay calm, stick together, and follow normal course of action/ routine, and be aware of when I have reached my limits and need to go back and try again next time. Be prepared. All easier said then done though.
I don't understand how people think that climbing on a mountain with snow could be fun 😑 I am jus glad that they all survived.
The rescue teams hats of to them brave men and women that put themselves in danger to help others in such difficult.
wow seeing this makes me actually understand what an unbelievable climber and superhuman Reinhold Messner was to climb all this mountains alone and without oxygen.
Didn't he die last year during a climb of Mount Everest?
@@mariakelly1059 Messner is 77 years old he won’t climb Mount Everest
I guess Reinhold was one kind of a very very lucky man, too. At the Nanga Parbat, he was like a greenhorn and paid with the loss of his Brother. 😢
I’ll never understand putting yourself in this situation especially if you have a family.
For fun
Exactly
Please don't feed the trolls.
Selfishness frankly
I was happy to see that they all three not only survived, but they still get after life and adventure.
I also couldn't get over how much I think that the real life Steve Ball looks an awful lot like Christian Bale, especially when he smiles.
When I tell you I'm obsessed with this show
I found this series yesterday and this is like my 5th video in a row
Duddde!!!!I cant even study coz of this show
I am really glad that Steve lived, especially after his reaction to his friends calling for a rescue for him, but he was not thakfull that they chose his life rather than summiting
I wonder how to get interviewed for this show. I have a harrowing story to share. My car broke down on the side of the road and to make matters worse, my phone was dead. I had to walk nearly a mile to nearest gas station. I realized I forgot my wallet back at the car... If y'all want the ending to this story, contact me.
Thoughts and prayers.
To some people these mountains are apparently irresistable, even when it can cost you your life, or limbs or face. To them it is worth all that. I don't look down on that at all, but I also don't look up to what they achieve. It is avoidable danger. To me it seem a strange calling.
Feeling similarly but I have my own strange and not undangerous callings so I guess it must be similar to them. Not sure how I would feeling having children and doing these kind of things though.
the minute I saw clouds and the wind speed pick up, I'd have gone back down and waited out the storm and avalanches. That mountain is going to be there. Most every one of these disaster scenarios are a result of negligence or underestimating the force of nature. Never leave your communication means behind for any reason.
Inspiring!! Took my breath away x
All these guys are absolute rocks. Suffering on a scale only a few ever know yet their will to survive is the reason they are now able to tell their story.
I start whining if it goes below 70 degrees in my house. And there goes Steve running by with no fingers, a missing hand, leg & a half foot. I learned two things from this: 1) I'm a p****. 2) I REALLY don't have anything to complain about!
A beautifully told and quite engaging story. I thought for sure until the very end that one of them had died. But amazingly not so!! Guess if it had been Everest they would not have gotten to Steve in time. A salute to all of you for surviving as well as to your great friendship.
But, u see all 3 talking throughout?
@@Sassyglbeauty Sorry; do not understand what your question means.
Love watching how these are .made the emotional connections and the absence of the entertainment noise. Thank you everyone who is involved in producing these docus
And the absence of those infuriating, waste of time recaps, like they have on most American shows. 😊
Very well done documentary with fantastic re-enactments! I'm obsessed with these mountaineering videos. At the end of them all I say, "These people are nuts!"
This is the most incredible survival story yet! The fact they all 3 made it out is almost unbelievable 😳
Did you born yesterday dude?
Everything is cool on this Series...the graphic and sound effects...and the re-enactments sound real.
I've seen this episode a few times now and every time I watch what these three men go through I just can't imagine the pain and agony they endure the pure will power of just knowing that I just have to keep going untill I can't is truly amazing
Okay, that was an EPIC video! Well done to the heroes! You rock guys!!!
Like the saying, " if you play with fire, sometimes you get burned." If you climb mountains, do dangerous hobbies, sometimes it doesn't end well.
It is an addiction, like any other: You can't stop doing something, even if it hurts you, physically, and creates tensions and worries in the family. Assume these guys have weighed all of that and concluded they can't live without climbing, their drug of choice.
What great men... those guys are so brave and caring towards each other.
Wow.... makes me believe in miracles again.
Thank you for sharing.
Amazing story. Also, Touching the Void.
I send huge respect to all three of you. Your courage is an inspiration...
These men are true soldiers going though all that suffering at that altitude getting hyperthermia, frost bite, one of them falling 1100 feet and shattering bones and they all helped each other and survived big respect to them
Hypothermia.
Against which army they fought?
And all for what it's ridiculous
What makes these documentaries so amazing is the top quality music. It is so effectively used.
An incredible survival story.
this was honestly so hard to watch !
These men are an inspiration
I'm so clumsy that I just know I wouldn't be able to do anything like this. I would probably trip over a tiny pebble and that would be the end. Sadly my kids have also inherited my clumsiness. My son is 12 and he is constantly tripping over his own feet.
I love watching these as I stretch out on my couch 😊
Wow the weather switched so fast that's really scary I loved watching this thank you for sharing 👍
Denali is located in the Arctic Circle, which encompasses the North Pole. The weather up there is particularly nasty and frigid.
Never trust the weather on the elevation over 3000 feet.
incredibly inspiring.
You all three are crazy people, Humanitarian climbers, bestest soul and friends. This kind of friendship are rare these days. Keep travelling and take care of yourself.
Brutal!! As a solo alpine mountaineer this is terrifying. Takes 1 second or 1 little mistake between life and death.
They should of turned around once they reached that football field then hiked back the next day and set up a new base camp at 18,000 ft and then tackle the last 2000 ft the next day. Easy for me to say but that would of been a much safer plan going on after that point in those winds was almost suicidal. To Steve's credit he did find the quickest way down the mountain.
That is what i was thinking.. as soon as clouds form and wind gusts up, you need to leave at once! I experienced winds in Winter just on a plateau at 2000 m above sea level and the wind chill let temperatures drop to -35 degree celsius! You could literally FEEL freezing cold in a matter of Minutes! I went down as fast as I could. Those winds on Denali must be deadly even for the most pros.
Its like the 3 stooges go camping, then it turns so very dark...
It seems you can always tell whether or not a helicopter is going to see you, when the right kind of music starts playing.
😂
Well done guys!
Its 21 degrees but I am feeling cold while watching this
@trap Kelly British 21° = USA 75°.
Some ppls will to live is incredible. I'm pretty sure I'd die within the first 24 hours of any of these stories
Amazing, many thanks
This is scary. Since my bestfriend and I would do free climbing. Never in the snow tho. I dont like being cold.
Men who have wives and children shouldn't do these kinds of things.
Exactly! It's selfish at best!
The goal is to summit and get the photographs. I do mountaineering to enjoy the environment, because I enjoy the mountain, summiting for the wrong reasons invites wrong consequences.
A great mountaineer said: "you have conquered the summit once you are safely down again. Until then, the summit has conquered you." I believe there is much truth in this.
Absolutely riveting!
I'm so relieved they found Steve live at the end. wow. Great all three survived.
