Ok so it turns out RU-vid removed its poll feature literally last month. THANKS RU-vid. Please vote for your favourite mediocre mountain here instead : www.quiz-maker.com/poll3013123xcB4c40f0-92 And also... really sorry that I couldn't fit everyone in - and even some of you who got in are only on screen for about a millisecond. There were SO MANY good entries that I had to leave out, it was just impossible to squeeze everyone in there. But if you missed out this time then you'll get another chance in the future :)
Oh please. I already have more aardvarks, anteaters and armadillo stuffed toys than a man of my age (and bank balance) can in any way justify. I don't need another complete rabbit hole opening up. (But with alpacas, rather than rabbits. I'm pretty sure alpacas don't dig holes, though; so that analogy wouldn't work.) I've only just marginally scraped past a wombat phase after seeing the 'Lost Ember' merch site.
Like seriously, that 32 meters in Groningen is a meter lower than my highest local point and I managed to cycle past that looking for it not even realising I had.
@@Quintinohthree Yes, the great Wageningse berg, or Wageningen mountain. There is one on the other side of the """""valley""""' slightly taller though. The Grebbeberg, or Grebbe mountain.
OMG I WON I'VE NEVER WON ANYTHING BEFORE WHAT DO I DO! (5:46) Seriously, though, this was a super clever idea and a ton of fun. I really hope you do something similar again in the future.
Dude, that was awesome. Your editing is through the roof right now, and this community you created is the most wholesome bunch of mediocre goofs I've ever seen :) Also, 9:17. You just HAD to get some sick British burns in there, didn't you?
This was fun and I got a special mention. Hopefully next time I'll be home so I can climb actual dirt rather than a glorified telephone pole in the middle of the ocean
Don't worry, I live at the altitude 205 m on lowlands, the highest hill in my proximity has 289 m and still it is not so mediocre... In fact it resembles the highest mountains in many countries. Luckly still a bit lower then Vaalserberg LOL
I live in a polder. The highest natural point is about sea level, as is the lowest point. It's so flat there's literally nothing to climb. Similar problem, very different reason
The fact that the highest point in Christchurch is an overpass, and you can't even stand on it unless you want to get run over, I think is what really clinched this for me.
I just hope our buddy in Hongkong is fine...as well as everybody else of course, these are the times when someone like Tim can make the biggest difference! Thanks!!!
Yep, I cried again, so it wasn't the alcohol the first time I watched it. Tim, I really think you captured the zeitgeist with this one. There's such a need for just feeling mediocre again. Well done everyone! Tim, vous êtes un artiste!
I started to cry a little before the Nick and Jenny video even started because you said "you were going to do it anyway." I knew it. Congratulations to both of you. Woohoo!!❤️❤️❤️🍾🥰
In the end, I’d like an alpaca waiting at the summit to share in my victory. Thank you for providing the best belly laugh of the day. Thanks to all who shared your small moment of joy during the CV Madness. I’m looking forward to the 2nd Wave Edition.
Great fun taking part - well done to everyone, the videos I've seen are awesome, I thought mine was okay until I saw all your efforts!!! Brill work all round. To the next challenge...!!
"I'd like an alpaca" simply coolist & funniest way too unite the world - - Congratulations Tim for being a Great mediocre Inspiration too use all 😂🤣 mmm alpaca do i - play with it, ride it, shave it for wool, or street party barbeque for slight C19 re-opening, also why only 1 alpaca and not just for christmas ha ha
I'm happy that our "mountain" in the District of Columbia made the cut. The area has an interesting history. It was a Black neighborhood that the Federal government cleared in order to build schools for white children. It was not blighted - it's just that the residents were considered disposable. And the high school is named for perhaps our most openly racist President. I'm glad Shannon called it Fort Reno.
Aww man! I wish I could've heard of this sooner! My city is where all of the postcards for the Golden Gate Bridge are taken (surprisingly, that isn't San Francisco), so it has some truly spectacular views. I might still go for the hell of it anyways. Tilden Park is absolutely beautiful.
I'm enjoying this so much more than I thought I would - I love all the funny categories and it's so fun to see the variety of places that people made it to.
This video made me finally subscribe to your channel. The whole challenge and the video is so damn wholesome and communal... I feel like doing stuff like this is the best possible social use of the Internet
Gotta love this whole channel and I'd also like an alpaca;) The fact that we're over 500 upvotes with 0 down...that's the power of this community beating stupid bot numbers and trolls :)
I had to vote for Matthias. To find an actual mediocre high point in Switzerland is truly impressive. I live in California's central valley, literally surrounded by mountains, so I can understand the challenge he faced.
The accent of the first contestant felt quite finnish. Where the heck would a Finnish go to 'climb' a hill if the highest point of the country belongs to a mountain in the neighboring country :D thanks for the challenge and thanks to yt for suggesting this channel. Oh and btw "I'd like an alpaca" ;)
It was fun taking part, and nice getting outside. Even if it was just my backyard. I posted it on Insta topless, so mines probably didn't make the video.
I'd like an alpaca! :) I really enjoy your videos! Hopefully as restrictions are lifted you can get out and create more amazing clips! Greetings from rainy Edmonton Alberta Canada 😊
I absolutely loved this whole challenge and all the videos people submitted. This award ceremony is a great tribute to everyone who joined. The feeling of wanting to climb the highest point in an area is a feeling I know very well. Maybe I'll join a next time. Thank you very much for the initiative and inspiring people to make all these great videos :-)
3:25 GRONINGEN ! Where is it? Does not look like Kardingeberg, but what else can it be? It was just a little to far for me to get to. 8:56 Martin & Martin. Congratulations!
I’m out of quarantine, ‘Rona free and ready for my alpaca now please Tim. Also, last night I summited my couch! The view was magnificent. The ants that had invaded in my absence really looked like ants from up there.
Wow, somebody from Saarlouis? Cool! Fun Fact: the highest point in the lovely Saar valley around Saarlouis is a slag heap with some 150m and a new climbable sculpture on top (still need to go there, long time since I moved away)
This was brilliant! Honestly, I would've loved to join this challenge. There's a little hill full of gently swaying trees overlooking the window of my room that is just begging to be conquered. Unfortunately, I'm swamped at work and barely have enough time to sleep. Anyway, thanks for the videos, Tim. I thoroughly enjoyed all the submissions and the "awardees." Cheers!
Well that was moderately interesting and slightly fascinating (in a mediocre sort of way). This could be the one unique enterprise in which Sturgeon's Law actually favours the competitors.
Wahoo, honoured you squeezed in a couple of seconds of my mediocrity twice! Well done on what must've been a fairly lengthy edit, and congrats to the very worthy winners!!
You've almost motivated me to go film a climb of the Lacey Mountains in Ocean County NJ USA. Almost. If you decide to make this a semi-annual event I will definitely climb them.
As a person who lives near Banff Canada in the Rockies and climbs them mountains regularly you have no idea how dissapointed I am not seeing this contest earlier.
