Nothing quite like flying straight at a mountain to gain altitude. Yikes!

Great video! My dad used to fly for MAF in Africa and he mostly flew the 185. Do you know who the pilot was in this video?
-
Idiots with the comment about a possible go around, obviously not a pilot. No go-around possible here, nice flying!
-
You could do a go-around there! You have enough space. Perform a spiral climb to the left. When you have 10.000 ft, go for another landing atttempt.

Respect to the Pilots of MAF
He could have did a go around. What do mean one way? Cool video.

The strip is at 5000' and the aircraft is a non turbo C185. The terrain around the runway climbs dramatically and once you are on late final you cannot climb faster than the terrain. Trust me - I was there
A one way strip means that there is only one direction available for landing and one for taking off
