The three-minute long clip films the group as they drive through the Manaslu Mountain. The cameraman offers a hilarious running commentary throughout the video, that shows some dramatic drops and a waterfall cascading from an overhang they’re going to have to pass under.

The footage begins as the van has come to a stop with one of the passengers, Rincou, going to investigate the overhang they’re going to have to pass under. The cameraman narrates:

“What do you reckon of that drop? Oh my god. Oh s***. So we’ve now got to a stage where the roof rack is going to get stuck under the overhang, so Rincou’s had to go ahead and scope out the height so we can get through with a van.”
