I watched both. Preferred Alpinist.
Other than climbing, i felt like these were two totally different things.
My jaw was open the entire time with 14 peaks. To me, that was insane.
With the alpinist, i just kept thinking “this guy is an idiot, he’s going to fall”.
Both were impressive, but the Canadian wonder was taking so many risks, It had me wondering if there was something wrong with his biology.

I have very little doubt that he was wired differently than 99% of other people, even people in his own climbing community. But I wouldn't say that there was "something wrong" with him. He knew the risks he was taking. He was very calculated in doing so. He could have taken 80% less risks and still died in an avalanche. Those guys could die in a freak accident every time they go out there.
He knew that, and he accepted that fact. It was a risk he was willing to take to do something he loved.
