What is he holding on to? On another L, yeah W. It's like watching a movie, huh? Yeah, pretty much. After Alex Freid, all cap, he seemed lost. Now he's found other ways to keep contributing to the world: a wall that has never been climbed.

A place where climate research has barely been done? That lights Alex up! Look at the walls over there! Now I'm starting to get very excited. This wall, it's about 1,000 ft higher than Al Cap. Oh my God, this is like the craziest wall! The first picture I saw of Ing McCourt Laac, it looks like the scariest wall I've ever seen.

We have no idea what the rock will be like, so we've asked two of the best climbers in the world to join me. We have the right team in place to do meaningful research as we go climbing. No one has been here for almost two decades because it's really one of the most dangerous environments on Earth. Ice, ice, ice! If we manage to climb in Mordac Rock, rock, rock, rock, it'll be the biggest first ascent we've ever done.

We just don't know what we'll face up there. Oh my God, it's so scary! I was definitely hoping that conditions were going to improve, and they have definitely not improved. I'm more risk-averse than you, so I just want to make sure we're on the same page. Basically, ultimately, what's at stake with climbing? It's always your life, and you can only roll the dice like that so many times.
