00:00 No good.

00:04 What happened?
00:05 Rainer, you OK?
00:07 Are you prepared to go out and do one of these things and die?
00:12 Yeah, pretty much.
00:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:16 There definitely was a certain element of fear,
00:20 like knowing that I'd never been into mountains that big before.
00:23 There was just an appeal to it's the fastest crossing of Nepal.
00:27 We're looking at 1,400 Ks across the country,
00:30 70,000 meters up, 70,000 meters down.
00:33 So--
00:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:37 It's going to be epic.
00:40 I'm a little nervous.
00:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:44 One, start.
00:46 Good luck, guys.
00:48 If you don't plan a project where there's
00:50 enough risk of stuff going wrong, then you're
00:52 way too much of a safe comfort zone.
00:54 I want to see how far I can push something.
00:57 Our goal was to move as fast and light as possible
01:01 without taking too many risks.
01:03 But moving fast and light, you're always
01:05 going to take some kind of risk.
01:07 And we didn't have sleeping bags or a tent.
01:10 I've been trying to see where Ryan and Rainer are.
01:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:19 We couldn't move because we were like knee deep
01:21 and waist deep in the snow.
01:22 This is not good, eh?
01:25 Like fingertips, frostbite.
01:28 If we don't stumble over a miracle now,
01:30 we're in serious trouble.
01:32 Do you think you pushed it too far?
01:36 No, not at all.
01:39 Nobody's invested in this as much as you are.
01:43 Whether you achieve an FKT in general,
01:45 very few people really care.
01:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:17 You just wake up and know that you lived and it was real.
