A 50-hour Arctic first ascent - Time is a Construct

Okay, we are setting off for climbing mission number two, going up Red Wall. Girls team, boys team. I don't want to see if it isn't me, yeah, who's on your mind? It's just standard sport play. See you later, boys. We're out of here. Bye-bye. Our take out was a lot easier than the boys take out. We've got some ledges. So we're just walking around stashing the boats, and then we're gonna start climbing. Nice brawn. Nice job on the knee bar mantle beach whale exit. Kelsey is up there leading a dirty off-width, and I'm with Ange here, and all we can hear is the laughing seagulls behind me. Hundreds of seagulls are laughing at us. Kelsey's like, ah! And they're like, ho ho ho. We lost your tongue somewhere, don't know what to say. Stop and run around, oh, you act like a kid. I am not your mama, just admit what you did. I've got enough to do, then hang around and wait for you to grow up and be responsible. It's my heart, so I hold you accountable, accountable, so grow up. Oh, that's quite physical. That's a really good fish. Was it incredible? It was pretty incredible. Are those guys on the radio, Kels? Yeah, they are. Well done, Kelsey, we're over here listening, and that sounded terrifying. Thanks, boys, hope you guys are having fun. Jaron, do you find chimneys fun? I'm scared. Kelsey, why didn't you want to put on your puffy jacket? I was thinking about, since we're probably going to bivvy tonight, I just didn't want to be in all of the clothing that I was just going to be bivvying in when we went to sleep, because that would be really sad. Well, we're just about to look for our bivvy spot. We think there's going to be... Actually, looking at the photos, it looks like there's going to be a grassy, green, flat grassy ledge just up there. Kelsey! Woo! You okay? Yeah. I feel like, I don't know what you did, I feel like I had to do, like, almost the splits to, like... Yeah. I, like, did that and then got my foot so high until I could, like, kind of lean over. I was like, oh, that is... Spicy. Kelsey, check out this bivvy ledge. It's warm, it's sunny, it's soft, flat, mushy moss. I can't wait to sleep. I'm ready. There's a water drip. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, I'm so wet. We're psyched. Got the boys on the radio. More grass, they said. They said that Jacob had a vertical 10-meter section of pure grass. We're going to the summit! Yippee! Oh, this bag's really heavy. I know. Dude, look where we are. Zachy? Oh, you... Zach will ascend to the summit, placing his own pieces of mechanical protection in the crevasses of the rock. Shut up! I'm trying to get content for my vlog. I'm trying to make it consumable by all demographics. We did it! Nice lead, dude. Good job, everybody. What do you guys think about the ladies' team? What do you think's going to happen? I think that they're going to ascend, but I think it's going to be hard fought. I think they've got to get real gritty. And they got it in them. Maybe we bash in a steel pelt? Slingshot food at them? That's a good idea, Jaren. Thanks for that one. I'm known for my good ideas. Alright, so we just slept. Actually, quite a long sleep. It was pretty comfortable. In this moss. Now we're just going to figure out what we're going to do. What the plan is. Supposed to be some weather coming in tomorrow. Bronwyn climbing. Look at that clean crack. The vegetation. I don't even like it. Where's the cheese? I just need the cheese. And water. And coffee. 28 and a half hours later. Back in camp. And the girls are still out there. Doing their stuff. The girls are up picking right now. And they're raging. Raging hard. I definitely feel like 28 and a half hours is just weak sauce, basically. What do you think, Zachy? Just do another lap? I feel fresh. Day 2. So an update here. I think we've committed to trying to get to the top. Day 2. I just really want to do it. Making dreams come true. We are still alive! Going to the top! Why are you guys so skeptical? We're going to the top! Why are you skeptical? Because we were like, oh yeah, we're going to do this huge route and it's going to go down in like a 20 hour push. Two days later, we're not. Details Angela, we're going to the summit! We're going to the summit! I believe when we see it. I'm going to go towards the summit. I'm not going to count my chickens before the eggs hatch. I'm just saying. So, it is once again, the middle of the night. Kelsey's gardening again. We got done with all that steep climbing and uh, yep, here she goes. What? It was so thin. I had to make a guttural like grunt and I had two crimps like this and my foot was like at my face and I was like. It was actually my right foot. I was like. I just got to the top of what's probably the last real pitch of climbing. There might be some scrambling, but I'm on a grassy ledge. We're definitely very close to the summit. Where are we Angela? We're at the top! In many hours, many suns and moons. Only a few. Two days. Time is a construct. Did I love playing cards? Tell me what you do. Some people walk through this life. Oh, pain zero. Is that zero? No. We can't message the boys. If you can hear us, we made it to the summit. Please bring us food. And boots. We will not survive without you. LOL. Just kidding. We made it to the summit. We have no trouble at all without y'all. That's literally nice. It's so nice to see icebergs again. I missed the icebergs. We saw one all day. Yeah, there was one, but I like a lot of icebergs. I like more birds. More birds is always better than less birds.
