Borah mountain! | A COMPLETE guide to Climbing Idaho's Highest Peak 

Before attempting Borah last week, I watched literally every RU-vid video there is on the topic. The hike was BRUTAL for a 50+ guy but I summited! I can say, with absolute certainty, that this is the definitive video everyone who wants to attempt this hike needs to watch. The discussion about the 3 distinct phases of this climb is 100% accurate. One additional tip: After Chickenout, there is a brief stretch of flat trail before the final push. The final ascent is by far the steepest phase of the trail. I dropped my pack at this point and took a little food and water only, and it made that last stretch much easier.

Susie: talking about mental toughness Frank: "trail mix is so good"

Thank you for doing a hiking video that was about the hike and not the climbers personalities. I'll watch more by you two!

How gorgeous is that?! ♡ Too tough for me.

One of the best Borah videos I’ve seen!!

Watched a ton of climbing Borah videos. This one is the best. Great camera work and super informative. Thank you.

Wow on 228 likes??? That's not a enough! Huge accomplishment guys! I don't know you but I'm proud of both of you! I finished scotchmans this weekend.

Ok that was terrifying and fantastic to watch. Great job! Love the night sky photos you took as well. Superb.

Super helpful video, thank you so much!!

Love all your videos, clear easy to understand, fun and informative

Okay, I was with you all the way until that ridge! 20 years ago I would have had no problem climbing that, but watching it now literally made me shake! Wow, kudos to you two, impressive!

That is some intense stuff! Chicken Out Ridge looks like a crazy adrenaline blast! I cant imagine what happens when you meet someone coming from the other direction! That was a hell of a hike, and you had to film it all too! Great job guys! The stuff you are doing on a constant basis is unreal!

Awesome videos guys. I hope y’all get a bunch more views because I love the content. Just got back from the Bighorn Crags and I rewatched your videos there to relive all the places.

this is a great borah video. it gives a true perspective on the hike

This is the first video I've watched from you, and I am impressed. I have been eye-balling Mt Borah for sometime now and really want to do it. "Freakin Steep" is an understatement according to the video, but that doesn't scare me ;) Chicken Out Ridge sure lives up to its name and I will take your advice to take it slow. Giving me the motivation to FINALLY add this to my 2024 365 mile hiking challenge list, and to join the club. Looking forward to watching additional videos you'll have done. May the road rise to meet you.

Sweet video! This is on my short list, Idaho is so beautiful!

Great video on Borah. Summited 2004

Holy cow guys!! Fricken good job on the hike lol. My legs got soar watching!! Looks beautiful!! Loved it

wow this is a great video, I was considering trying the climb next weekend, I think I'm gonna have to wait til next year lol. but I truly enjoyed your video. thank you for sharing your adventure, and for the tips about the climb.

Great video. Very helpful.

Oh my god you guys! My knees were shaking watching you go across chicken out ridge. You two really impress us. Richard and I decided you will NEVER catch us up there. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Night sky was beautiful, by the way.

That was a great day to touch with amazing natures outdoor .

Great video! Amazing that she can nap while she hikes. I have a friend who can do that and I wish I could. I'm hiking Borah in a couple of weeks!

Whoa Frank, those pics tho! Awesome!

awesome video!

Wow, guys! I'm so impressed. I would love to do this mountain too.

Wow! I think you are cray cray! But I love seeing the beauty of our wonderful state through your lens! Thank you! Now test, eat and hydrate! I loved that tree with multi color trunk, what type of tree is it?

I describe that hike as a slow murder. You guys are going into White Cloud!? Can’t wait to see that video. 🤙🏻

Great share enjoyed watching stay connected friend

Great video - thank you! Is there a lot of route-finding on the way up? Some parts of the video looked like pure scrambling - no trail. Did you use a GPS tool for route-finding or did you wing it? Thanks so much!

Hi Mrs. Finney it's a student from your class aka Dodson I just want you to now that I still watch your channel

Nice video and congrats on the climb. Was that all filmed with a GoPro? I saw a Hero 7 black on there. Just curious, thanks.

Good job guys! You were estimating before the hike how long is it going to take- what did it end up being up how long was it to get down? Cheers

Awesome hike! How was the downclimb of Chicken-out ridge compared to the upclimb?

The brave woman climbing

Hey frank I'm looking to climb Borah after I get through this next surgery on my feet... any advice or tips for training?? And I'm curious can you camp at the Summit overnight or no? That would be cool.. I've been to the campground, just not the summit ...YET... I'm in Jerome and thinking about using the canyon here as training + the gym haha

All I want to know is who is the ignoramus that gave this a thumbs down? Great video! On my bucket list for sure.

Bro mad respect have any tips for someone wanting to climb Bora

How many hours round trip?

How was going down? Harder than going up?

How much water did you take?

What time of year is the video from?

Hey you think 14 years old can do this?
