Climbing Angel's Landing in a Snowstorm
After the permit system was implemented, I figured I would never get to do this hike again. So when we won the next day lottery, we went. Even though it was snowing. To be perfectly honest, it wasn't that bad with microspikes. I WOULD NOT recommend hiking this in snow or ice without them. We made an agreement that if anyone felt uncomfortable at any point, we would turn around. Unfortunately, Tina never got the chance to see if she would do it or not after she woke up around 5:30 AM sick with food poisoning. So she decided to stay at the hotel while Clint and I climbed it. I had one brief moment where I second guessed myself, but got over it quickly and continued on. The hike is always amazing, but under these conditions, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

I never knew i was afraid of heights until i watched this video. Unbelievable and breathtakingly beautiful. Y'all are nuts!! Kudos!

@danielabilez3619 Год назад

A choice to be there. You mind body and spirit better be one. What is the sound of a hiker falling when there is no person around? Tragic

@MOAB-UT 4 месяца назад

It's fine when it's dry. I would not do it on snow and ice.

I cannot imagine doing Angels Landing in snow and ice !!! Granted the crowds were much smaller, I did it in July for my 65th birthday, hundreds of hikers sharing the chains up and down, one and done for me. Great job and excellent video

Australian here, I've become addicted to watching these hikes to Angel's Landing in all weather conditions since I found out it existed. What a stunning Winter Wonderland and what an amazing place. I watched a video of 4 teenagers perilously do the hike in icy conditions, without gloves or proper footwear. I had anxiety on their behalf. I was pleased you both had proper attire and sighed with relief when I saw those micro spikes get put on your shoes. Your video was so magical, I just loved it.

@JerryArizona 4 месяца назад

I've done this under normal conditions and have to say we didn't feel this was dangerous. There was a second (where I ask my buddy if he's OK) where just looking at it got in my head, but that was it. If we'd felt it was dangerous, we'd have turned around. It was peaceful, and calm and beautiful and just amazing. To this day, one of my favorite moments. That said, I would not do it without microspikes and/or I would not want to be the first person up breaking trail in these conditions.

@JeffreyAshton Год назад

In the summer of 1965, when I was ten, my sister and I went up the switch backs on horseback on a guided tour. She cried going up because she new how scary it would be going down; I cried going down because it was scary. Horses hung over the edge and their hooves slipped alone the narrow switchbacks. My horse was brown and his name was Bob. Thank you for this amazing tour in the winter. It resonated with me when you said that going down was harder. Beautiful footage and music. 🙏

This is the best Angel's Landing video on the web. I actually had that same sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had when I was on the trail. As a photographer who lived in Arizona for years, I can't wait to pour through the rest of your videos. Liked and subscribed!

Climbing Angles Landing in the summer is epic, climbing it during a snowstorm…nuts. What a great video.

@debbilermond1553 Год назад

Mind blowing is an understatement! I kept holding my breath watching you guys go up that insane trail. I thought it was heart stopping in the Summer. Never thought anyone would even try it in the snow. Looks like there was a crowd there so other people braved the weather too. So glad you didn't spread your wings and fly off the tower like a few people have. Stay safe out there!

It wasn't bad with microspikes. Plenty of people turned around at the chain section. Gotta stick with your comfort zone.

Wow! That is truly beautiful! I did this with a friend for the first time in September, but seeing it in the snow is like seeing Narnia for the first time! Amazing filming quality! Thanks so much! Here is a little verse we thought of on Angels Landing at the time: Luke 13:24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

@westcoastislander6699 Год назад

Absolutely spectacular! Is what I'd call it. Bummer about Tina not being able to make it but so glad you did the hike anyways. We have hiked and backpacked the trail up to the West Rim numerous times. Angel's Landing at least 5 times--pre-permit. Done it in a rainstorm, but not the snow! That's a once in a lifetime experience, for sure. Great vid. Good to see Clint again. Nice to see him guest appear occasionally.

Honestly not as bad as I expected. I'm learning more and more when to turn around. I bailed right near my goal on two recent trips because the risk wasn't worth it. With spikes this was not as bad as I thought it would be. Of course, that's all relative, I suppose.

Zion is my #1 favorite park. Did AL last February with ice but no snow. The microspikes were amazingly effective. I was shocked how well they worked. Thanks for such a good video. I can almost pretend I'm on AL even when I'm in the daily life of this insane world. It's like meditation watching tranquility. God's work on display. Wow... you walked the miles and miles to get to the Grotto. I rented an e-bike cause I'm more lazy.
