Black Diamond Presents: Nolan's Fourteen 

Good lord. What an insane route! Props for completing this sir! Wish it was 30 mins long

Others have said it but can we please have a longer edit of this story and endeavour. Joe is such an inspiring dude who has so much to share with the world 🙏

Awesome short. Raw, both physically and emotionally. Thanks Joe for opening up on the process and the experience. Very inspiring.

Thats an incredible accomplishment. Most of those mountains drop a few thousand feet between each other. Just the valley between Belford and La Plata has a 4,000+ ft drop in elevation. Much respect

We love how Joe Grant continues to inspire and motivate people in his understated yet creative approach to time spent in the mountains...a true athlete!

I can resonate with a lot of what Joe said. The more challenging the objective, the less room there is for all the bullshit of the civilized world, so we push ourselves until we reach a place where the mountains have stripped away all our pretensions leaving behind nothing but our essential selves. The mountains don't care who you think you are or how you try to present yourself in society, they take you as you truly are, an imperfect human with hopes and dreams and fears. This raw perspective is not easy to come by but I think everyone strives for it in their own way: by jumping out of planes, mastering an instrument, fighting for a cause, etc...

Make a long one pleaaaase ! There is so much more to say on this feat, the intention, the dark an bright times Joe told about afterwards... Just the content of the bag and more fetails... That said the drawing is beautifull, text is interesting and picture are cool.

If you don’t have any introspection , you close the door on any personal growth that such a challenging journey submerged in nature can provide and gift to us . Amazing effort and Fortitude Well done ! and thanks for sharing Joe

Incredible filming by BD! This had to have been shot last year because right now there is tons of snow up there.

Perfect video! It captures some detail into this too often vaguely described headspace. What happens to runners out there is like the more quiet physical space that surrounds them the louder their mental emotional thoughts can get. They are physically elite we can see that evidence in their record times. But aren’t they forging themselves into the mentally and emotionally elite as well? I’m grateful for the narrative here, job well done thank you!

Fantastic Job. Filming on point and Joe’s comments are poetry. Highly Inspired !

impressionnant !!! merci Joe

Interesting narration, and an impressive feat!

Yeah Josh Garrels as the soundtrack!! 🤙

Joe, ...inspiring.

Great video!

Great filming.

Well done!

I felt ALL of that.

Nice video!

What month was this done? What is the temp fluctuation as he climbs and descends?

"Do I really have pure intent?" What an incredibly profound question. Finally comes the mystic.

That´s the whole fucking pount. Go out, be yourself and learn something about this wonderful creature. The seemingly difference between the man who climbs a mountain and the mountain that is been climbed, dissolves. There is only climbing itself. And the pure joy about the happening of the moment. Pure hapenings, everything is and will always be.

I want to know what gear he had in that tiny little backpack to get him through two nights

Great film! However, if the drone shot starting at 0:38 is actually of Massive's south ridge (which I cannot confirm from just the looks), then, unless it's some crazy zoom lens, the film crew flew a drone in a designated Wilderness area. That is illegal and, even though it's a stupid rule, I encourage Black Diamond to bring it to the crew's attention, just so they know people are actually watching (and someone with a commercial drone license should know better!). I'm not trying to rip on the film crew, I'm just trying to keep our wild places wild. Cheers!

Word.

💎

Music in the end of the video please.

The man looked only somewhat tired when done and if he really had to I bet he could have gone further. Jesus H. Christ

Very fuckin cool man! Joe 🌞

5:02

The opening commentary was a bit over the top.

Pure intention mine is Fun

"Just me, myself, oh and my film crew taking product shots."

i think you are better off not letting this guy talk, we don't need to go inside his mind on this. just let him run

Maybe next time talk about the route and how he did it, instead of waxing poetic about his mental state.
