This is a little film that explores the idea of mountains as personal challenges. I filmed this while I was up at my grandparents home in the Blue Mountains. The terrain there is so gorgeous, especially in the morning and evening light. You really do feel small when you're surrounded by colossal mountains, it's a humbling feeling.

"You are the product of years of climbing," When I heard this, I immediately thought of my parents and how I am a product of them. How they immigrated to America, learned an entirely new language, and work hard everyday with little pay, all to make sure they can provide the best possible life for my sister and I. They have been climbing their whole life, and still continue to climb, and I hope that one day, I am able to take care of them, attempt to repay all that they have done for me, so they can finally reach the top and enjoy the view. Thank you, Ollie, for this beautiful and very well done video. I don't know if you wrote what you said but either way, you delivered it extremely well and managed to take my breath away.

Me and my brother sat and watched this, lights out on the big screen just like a movie. I can honestly say it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. My brother (10years old) turned to me at the end and said "that's what I want to do when I'm older, do what Ollie does" And I couldn't agree more. Thank you Ollie :) X

This has a different meaning for me than others in a sense. I'm a hiker. It's in my blood. My grandpa traveled the country climbing mountains. My mother and I are now working towards climbing all the 4000 footers in New England. There are 48. I have done 8 and everyone has been amazing. My most recent one was Mt. Washington, the tallest mountain on the east coast of America and it was difficult but when I got to the top it was very rewarding other than all the annoying tourist who came the easy way up. I literally had to wait in line to reach the summit that I felt i deserved. 6288 ft. I took the hard way. They took the easy way yet they still reached the top before me. That's just life. Anyways. Great content. Great theme. Love it all.

You have a talent of showing and saying things the right way.. Your stories , your words and the way of saying them, the whole atmosphere of these videos of yours. You inspire people. That's a gift. Not everybody can do it. Emrace your qualities, live for yourself and for others. You talk about such simple and logical things , but you just put them in another perspective. I like that. You have a gift. Wish you all of the luck to stay with that gift of yours all of the time. (aka life)

My hometown is literally in the mountains. All my life I've grown up climbing and playing around these mountains.That is my special place. I feel like they've been with me through thick and thin. I've been around mountains for years, but nothing still comes close to that moment when you see over the edge and into that vast space. Thank You for this video man. It expresses everything that i could never get into words.

I told him to keep moving forward and that even though he was only at the foot of this mountain, he'll get there eventually. I'm very happy to hear that we share the same thought on this matter and it's great that you share this idea with the world. Keep on doing this kind of work it's amazing and inspiring. Stay Happy.
