Music accompanied HD Video of Mark Allen and Graham Zimmerman's account of their unplanned descent off the Southeast Buttress of Mt. Bradley in the Great Ruth Gorge of the Alaska Range. This is a short look into the 99 hour epic resulting in the new Route Vitalogy, Alaska grade V, M6+ WI5 5.9R A1. This video covers how the two climbers run out of food, are force into undiscovered country, and then get pinned by large AK storms ultimately changing their plans.
