Hug that mountain Captain Kirk style

Watch the Star Trek V: The Final Frontier opener with Captain Kirk free soloing El Capitan and William Shatner’s full explanation of why Kirk climbs the mountain at the American Alpine Institute’s blog.

Now that I know why Captain Kirk climbed mountains I’m giving Star Trek a second look.

Thanks to wickedoutdoorsy for this excellent find.

HaHa, thanks for finding that Alicia.

People watch Star Trek because it is an adventure I think, not the kind I enjoy, but the same mentality. To go where no man has gone before!

Many times in the back country that is an illusion, but thanks to practices like LNT the illusion is possible! Well, you do have to ignore the blazed trail also. Some people just love adventuring.
