[music playing] - There you go, that's good. - Anyway. - Yeah. - Keegan-Michael Key and I are closing in on our extraction point, but first we've got to use a diagonal line to descend a 250-foot Icelandic waterfall. - That's it. That's it. Now keep your legs down, legs down. [groans] - Holy [bleep]. - Have a check out. Are there seagulls? I bet there'd be seagulls there. - There's a baby seagull right there. It's amazing. He doesn't know what the hell I'm doing here, but-- [laughs] Oh my God. - Remember, don't look down. - OK. - OK. I'm going to start lowering you. Here you go. [music playing] - [laughing] Just me and baby seagull sitting on the cliff [music playing] - Look at the power of it. - Well done, Keegan. Good job. Almost there. Last bit. - [whoops] [chuckles] [music playing] - We said we were going to get someplace really fast. That was pretty fast. - OK. Time to go and join him. - Coming off the waterfall, as I was going down right to the edge, I'm like, what are we doing? And the next thing I know, I'm just in midair. But what a view. [laughing] Whoo! That was amazing. You came down really fast. - Yeah. Well, it's called hot gloves. - Oh, you got hot gloves. Oh, you got hot-- - Good job, though. - Oh, thanks, man. Unbelievable. - Yeah, it's amazing. - Unbelievable. - How can we get around the back of it? Look. - That would be amazing, yeah. - So we're at the bottom of this now. Keegan is pumped. It looks like we might be able to sneak a little route around the back of the flow, which would be pretty epic to see. Wow. There you go. - It's amazing. - Like a little hidden grotto, isn't it? - Yeah, exactly. I love the sound it makes when it hits the rocks. It's as if it was planned, you know? It's completely untouched. [music playing] - So that's nature at its best. - I've never seen anything like that. To see the little gulls! It's so funny to watch them, like, who is this? - Yeah. - It's just-- but I just-- I don't know what it is. It's just communing with another life form. - Yeah. - You said something earlier about you just kind of see yourself-- nature is a mirror for yourself. It's really-- that really-- that-- I mean, coming down the side of that cliff was exciting and exhilarating. But seeing those gulls? Like, that was something I never expected to see in my life, you know? And it's just great. It was amazing. - It's like, for me almost, you start out the journey with the weight of the world on your shoulders. - A little bit, yeah. - And you're finishing it. I love the way it's the little things, like nature, birds, and animals that lifts your spirits. - What would have happened if I just said no no no no, I can't do that. Then I wouldn't-- you know, I would have never seen those gulls. What would have happened if I had said no no no, you're cool. You have the spider. Like, just do it, Keegan. What happens if you just do it? - Yeah. - You know? - Well, the stuff we fear is itself often never as bad once you face it. - Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. - Well, that's an inspiring message, and you've lived it. More importantly, you've lived it. - I've lived it, right. Right. - OK, we're pushing on.
