On this channel I’m just an occasional adventurer who likes to do things in the mountains either solo or with his friends! - Join me, an everyday engineer, and his friends, who love to pursue their goals in the outdoors from ice climbing to ultra marathons and everything in between! - We are slowly growing our skills and hope to be doing harder and more technical goals in the future, till then, feel free to subscribe and like our videos to follow along as we enjoy the journey of getting there!
Someone will tell you a route is class 3. When you question them about that later they will say, "Well most of it is class 3. Sure, a few 5.7 moves but MOST of it is class 3".
Thanks for taking us on your journey. There is so much of Glacier I have not taken in. My in-laws are in Whitefish, but we don't get out there much these days. Not in our 20's either, so a 14 mile 4000 foot hike would be brutal. If I was smart, I would take that as inspiration to start hiking again, haHa. Subscribed.
Glacier is definitely a special place with a lot to see and do! If you don’t try to climb Mt Siyeh, it is a much more chill day out! But it is still 10 miles I believe. Thanks for the watch!
Thank you for the watch and the nice words, Glacier is awesome! Yes I did haha, I was reading A Fine Line by Graham Zimmerman and Extreme Alpinism by Mark Twight and had some imposter syndrome, so changed it about a month again, I still think it fits, I just wouldn’t consider myself an Alpinist after seeing what they did and what guys/girls like Jackson Marvell and Brett Harrington are doing
I love sawtooth. I lived in mineral king both last summer and this summer. Sawtooth is great, but so is Mineral peak, the red craggy mountain on the other side of monarch lakes. That one has some spicy scrambles
@@AnOccasionalAdventurer Cool. Thank you. We went up and couldn't summit the end of April this year due to weather and avalanches distroying the route. I plan to go back next summer around the end of June hoping Mother Nature is kinder to us.
Sounds like a good plan! We tried the year before in May and got stuck at the ice box because of Avi danger on the cleaver, but it’s always a great time on that mountain!
Curious where did you ski down from. Considering amongst diller headwall, south ridge, or the saddle btwn prouty point/middle sister. To me it seems you skiied down from the saddle? I might consider because it looks like the one with the least consequence
Yes I skied down from the saddle! I just booted to the top and was glad I did do too the pretty poor snow conditions near the summit, all ice. I hope you have a great time when you go!
Couldn’t complain about the conditions at all, we had a great day! The MA guys influenced me to start making videos 3 years ago, so they are definitely a big influence on my video style!
Thanks for the kind words and watching the video! That is my friends 360 camera, the name of it is a go pro hero max camera and he has it on a pole that the camera then stitches out by itself!
Great video! I dream of doing Gannett one day. I noticed someone wearing a snowbasin safety buff. I have several of those. That was such an amazing route. Take care!
It is an amazing mountain in an amazing place, thanks for the kind words! The Snow Basin buff was my friend Eric’s, who worked as an instructor there for 2 seasons!
Thank you for watching! I would highly recommend the vacation race events in Utah, they put on a great event! I ran the Bryce 50 miler last year, and in less than a month I’m going back to Zion to run the 100K! I hope to get out east to do a Pemi loop one day!
Thanks for the watch and the kind words, we had a great time! If you have any questions feel free to comment them here and I can respond or if it’s for something else we can figure out another way 👍🏻
I’ve never tried ice climbing but it looks like fun. I was wondering, I know you guys live in MI, but have you thought about relocating to UT since that’s where most of your videos are shot?
Thank you for the watch! Ice climbing is a great time, definitely should try it sometime! Haha that is funny, I live in Michigan by my friend Shane lives in Utah, so I go visit him a lot and we have our adventures!
i’m 15 but i want to hike this over the summer. my parents are “too old” to summit this with me so im trying to convince them to let me summit this with a guide. i want to summit as many mountains/volcanoes as possible before i finish high school. so far i’ve only done St. Helens but that’s what really got me into this
That’s a great goal! There are amazing guides who take people up Rainier all the time, we passed quite a few parties who were guided on our trip! Good luck and thanks for watching the video 🤙🏻
