    I've watched a lot of climbing videos on CZcams, and none of them have made me want to get [back] into climbing as much as your videos, dude.

    I don't think iv'e ever seen a channel more under rated than yours.. Imagine Discovery channel trying to make a show out of this. The show would be a season long, and highlight every single danger 1000 times, with super intense music, huge budget, etc. It's all too casual, how you guys are doing this incredible epic trip. I love watching you guys this is crazy.

    3:15 That's an excellent book, "The open veins of Latin America", by the Uruguayan novelist, journalist and poet Eduardo Galeano. Good for you young man, I appreciate your love for nature, for your passion and for learning from the good reading. Good luck!

      @tylerkarow  Před 2 lety +55

      About a grand each not including food. The cost was pretty much just one night in a hostel, a couple short taxis, flights and oversized bag fees which we were able to keep relatively low. We hitchhiked around, got rides from friends and stayed with people we met to keep things cheap.
