Mount Adams: Climbing and Skiing Washington's 2nd Highest Mountain 

scrambo mills I hope you get better m8

It's amazing getting to see how technology can put us in the shoes of such awesome adventurers

Richard Lamb That’s a bummer man! I’ve been binge watching for the past few weeks also👍🏼

Hey Richard Lamb, I feels ya bro; I did this for years I was a NOLS instructor Now late-stage Parkinson’s

Awe dude that's rough any chance you'll be able to get better? I hope you can, good luck....

Haha it's realistic!

I appreciate this!

I know this comment is super old but they have a second channel called extra mediocre where they go over some of the gear they use. Hope this helps!

You can't please everyone.

Let the motherfucking haters that will NEVER know what it's like to B/C show us how it's done. Show us YOUR video of you on the bunny slopes! Kiss my ASS and I splitboard with skiers 99% of the time, and I'm always the lag factor because of my gear, and just because... there are splitboarders that can keep up with skiers as well, but it's usually a skier dominated thing. One ski, 2 skis, but we snowboarders have to constantly switch, especially when you hit flats or need to ascend a mild slope which takes more time, usually making me the embarrassing lag factor that can even be dangerous! On the OTHER hand, it's me that will chase your ski or both of them, and recover it, whereas that never happens being a snowboarder. When you are B/C, we depend on each other for our lives, which is something that the haters don't get.

I agree with that sentiments. I don’t think dislikes should be used it just gives everyone the power to become an ego fulled critic. You should only be able to like a video dislikes are not constructive criticism. In this instance someone is either being picky about how this video was filmed, didn’t like Mountains and shouldn’t be here anyway or they were just being rude. This video is great and filmed at a top tier level

I was able to make this climb twice as a much younger man. For me it was really fun to relive. I must admit I am a bit envious of the modern gear. It certainly isn't the 1970,s anymore. 🤙

@@darrendix5163 bro, are you okay? how much coffee, or cocaine did you have this morning?

The power of FOMO is very really. I feel the same almost every day when I see someone do something rad.

Do it

When are you climbing Rainier with me?

My best day was about 4500 feet of hiking, but each run was only about 700-800 vertical feet.

We looked down that way. Those ski lines looked great!

Ha! I thought about that when I wrote the description. I didn't want to bait and switch anyone so I added that last part about washington's 2nd highest mountain.

Thank you!

Snowshoes first...get yer shit together in the back areas...food, rescue, overnight, navigation. Add skis.

​@@ccaissie113 I disagree. During my 20 years of skiing I have never touched a snowshoe :). Just jump into it and start skiing, but team up with someone who knows what they're doing if you want to explore avalanche risk areas.

@@ccaissie113 don't worry, wasn't planning on getting in the backcountry with nothing other than knowing how to ski! haha I will take an Avy course and get all my rescue gear. I've got a foundation with WFR/backcountry navigation/being a backcountry ranger. So I am fully aware that I am not aware of everything when it comes to snow travel. That is definitely part of the plan ;)

​@@erlendblomseth Yeah a lot of people here in Salt Lake ski, but do not show shoe. Definitely plan on learning with experienced people :)

Exactly. And the whole way up you're thinking "I have to ski down this garbage!" In the end, skiing down this stuff is soooooo much better than walking down.

Great all around skis. Got the skis this year and the boots last. It's an awesome combo for long tours.

Exactly.

Yeah it sucks

I definitely want to get out there and summit Helens.

We're always looking for suggestions. I'll check it out.

You've confirmed our suspicions. We felt like we were getting unusual weather.

I concur.

It’s crazy how they were able to fly a drone up at the false summit. Never seen that before. Usually 30-40mph sustained wind there. I’ve been on the summit with as high as 60 mph sustained wind. Couldn’t even stand on top of the cabin. And that was in July.

I would say the drone stays in the bag %50 of the time due to weather, temperatures, restrictions and user error.

Snow shoes would be more to carry, and actually, I don't think it would be easier with snow shoes.

Snowshoes are great for deep and fluffier snow. They would for sure aid in traction, but with their wide surface area, snowshoes can be finicky on steeper slopes. The skins they have on their skis for the ascent have great traction, and the narrowness of skis makes going up steep slopes pretty controlled with a combination of switchbacks or side steps up steep sections.

We both had fischer hannibal 96's and fischer travers boots as well as atomic backland bindings. I felt like it was the perfect setup for a summit like this. We both have a slightly lighter setup but felt like the fischer hannibal was a better ski to handle to unknown.

Definitely lucky!

Thank you!

I've been wanting to make video like that for a while now. Just need to stop procrastinating and get it started. I'll do my best to get something out in the next month or two.

That's awesome! Thank you! I love your channel, you guys do some pretty awesome stuff!

John H. Where

I totally agree.

@@MediocreAmateur Truly. Just found your channel, you should have 100k subs. Only request would be to list the cool music tracks.

I'll offer a sacrifice to Ullr for your birthday. Hopefully, he'll grant you some good snow and weather.

@@MediocreAmateur Thanks. Seems to be working.

obviously they keep it closed when no aliens are landing, to keep the skiers from falling in.
