In reply to Chris Craggs: Hi Chris, I think you've missed the point of this video entirely.
Clearly Kirk is using the word 'mountain' as a metaphor. He could easily substitute it for 'cliff' but to the wider world 'mountain' has a broader sense of imagery. Struggle, battle, adventure, life.
When Kirk says he hugs the mountain, obviously this is in a spiritual sense, embracing the challenge and uncertainty of life.
It could be El Cap, Everest or Running Hill Pits.
This video isn't to be quickly watched, ingested and forgotten. This is a serious piece of philosophy brought to you in cutting edge multi-media.
This is art and as modern as it gets.
You can rely on us at UKC for this stuff. No probs.
