[00:00:09]Look at all these people. Oh.

[00:00:18]Hello. Hi. How are you?

[00:00:19]>> have you guys been waiting here? I'm good. It's like 20-ish minutes.

[00:00:23]Okay, good enough. Um, just the two of you guys? Yes.

[00:00:26]>> Just want to double check nobody has any history of health issues, haven't been scuba diving in the past 24 hours, or expecting a baby?

[00:00:31]>> Nope. Perfect. So, from here on out you do want to be in four low, so go ahead and put your vehicle into neutral, and then all the way back as far as you can.

[00:00:39]Perfect. So, four low going up, four low coming back down, okay? Okay. Um, while you guys are up there, if you start to feel sick, just come back down. It might be altitude sickness. Um, we kindly ask no drones, no kites, no drinking, no drugs, no off-road driving, no off-trail hiking. We have a sacred site, but please just stay off of the sacred site, okay? Okay. Despite what that sign says.

[00:00:56]Um, sunset tonight will be around 6:55 p.m., so shortly after sunset you guys have to start making your way back down.

[00:01:01]Um, coming back down, stay in four low, but also utilize your manual mode, second or third gear. You're familiar?

[00:01:08]Mhm. Okay, second or third gear, whatever you feel comfortable with, just to make sure you're not riding your brakes on the way back down. And then when you guys return, just make sure you stop over here so we can get a brake temperature, okay? Cool. Okay. Thank you.

[00:01:18]>> too fast?

[00:01:18]>> Nope. No, good.

[00:01:19]>> [laughter] >> Thank you.

[00:01:32]Should we just Let's just park here.

[00:02:01]>> Mhm.
