First 15 min. Of boring exposition and character introductions, but keeping the viewer interested with amazing imagery. Next, the viewer is told in many ways that what they're about to do is dangerous. Next, they met a tribal member that imparted some history. Cut to: "Alright guys (family) I love you, gotta go." Tribal member continues to weave words of encouragement, the viewer wonders if they really care to be there or if it's some formality that must be done these days. Anyway, more world salad from the crew as if over explaining could impart what it feels like to do what they're about to do. Pause at around 12 minutes and place bets with your viewing friends as to how long it takes him to say the following sentence: "We know we got a significant storm coming in and the question is, is there an end to it? And if there's not an end to it, things get more complicated" Reader of this review cannot participate in this first round, but there are plenty opportunities later on. They manage to stretch this for another 15 min. Or so before you realize that they're not even at the base of the mountain. If you can endure about 20 more minutes of ridge climbing then you're rewarded with a burst of dopamine as you watch them descend down this beautiful mountain. I had to rewatch one part because of how the following sentence was delivered: "You know, you could stay our here forever"....as she looks at the camera or cameraman, we'll never know since she's wearing sunglasses.
