retainViewers watch to see the rare view from the summit and look for a flying bird.

I was the highest person on Earth at this moment standing on the summit of Manaslu, the 8th highest mountain in the world. I climbed from basecamp to the summit in one push by myself over the course of 14 hours without supplemental oxygen. I stood on top at about 4:30pm and couldn’t believe my eyes. I was wearing a sun hoody and a light windbreaker at over 8000m!!! Watch as the bird flies by, magic!! The Mountain of the Spirit! And as always, thank you to the people who make climbs like this possible. The porters who carry equipment in, the tea houses and their owners who give us shelter along the trek, Asian Trekking who organized all of the logistics at basecamp, the rope fixing team for laying the route and the mountain for allowing us access to the summits. I’m getting the itch to stand above 8,000m again.. Follow for more! #mountains #himalayas #manaslu

hookViewers stop scrolling because the first-person view of a steep cliff jump creates instant suspense.
  • High setting. A skier in red outerwear looks down a steep mountain ridge covered in deep snow and dead trees.
  • Dramatic music. The song Cornfield Chase by Hans Zimmer plays in the background to build strong tension.
  • Raw audio. Heavy breathing and cold wind sound clear before the skier jumps off the edge.
  • Broad appeal. Extreme winter sports and scary survival clips draw in a huge global audience.
retainPeople watch until the end to see if the buried skier gets dug out safely.
  • Terrifying accident. The skier plunges straight into soft snow that completely covers his face and camera.
  • Real footage. The video shows the actual emergency instead of just talking about it afterwards.
  • Genuine emotion. Heavy panting and muffled cries show the real panic of breathing in snow.
  • Shot changes. The clip uses 18 shots in 41 seconds as snow covers and clears the camera lens.
  • Essential gear. Skis and a head camera give an intense view from inside the snow pile.
  • Clear steps. The viewer sees the jump, the dark burial, and then the friend digging his face free.
  • Good length. The 41 second runtime gives enough time to feel the scare and see the rescue.
rewardViewers feel intense relief when the skier breathes clean air again.
  • Huge relief. Watching the skier gasp for air after being dug out calms the viewer down.
  • Safety awareness. Viewers learn why nobody should jump big cliffs without a friend watching.
  • Thrill ride. The terrifying first-person view gives a big rush of excitement.
  • Deep gratitude. The video reminds people how valuable helpful friends are in dangerous moments.

BURIED! Man was this a freaky one. First time being fully buried under the snow. I started to panic a bit as soon as I inhaled a whole bunch of snow. My entire throat and mouth were full & definitely had a bit in my lungs. Fortunately we knew this was a possibility & my good friend @friscopowderaddict staged close by to dig me out worst case scenario. Rule #? to dropping big cliffs into bottomless powder - have someone close by to dig you out if you get buried. Big thanks to @juliancarr for teaching me a few of these key points to staying alive while sending it. As soon as my airway was cleared and breathing again I yelled out a big “LETS FUCKING GO!” The stoke is high & I’m ready for more!
