Our first backpacking trip of the season was full of snow fields, wet socks, and most importantly, a ridge traverse that nearly pushed us to our limit! The Crystal Range Traverse in Desolation Wilderness spans over 2 miles, hitting 4 peaks along the way - it's a challenging scramble but a worthy adventure and a great test of our new gear! But first, we need to find a place to pitch our tent and camp for the night! It feels so good to finally be back in the mountains. Subscribe for more!
Enjoy :)

Man, I solo hiked the Crystal Range back in like 2009. I went up the trail from Twin Bridges after work on a Friday, and camped halfway up Pyramid, then hiked all the way to Mt. Price and down to Clyde Lake the following day. You guys are badass for climbing up that ridgeline after Pyramid - I started up and then chickened out, and hiked the snowline on the eastern face up to that unnamed peak. From the backside to Mt. Agassiz took forever, as well as the hike down from Price - I didn't have any snow to glissade down 😭. The following day, I summited Dicks Peak all the way over to Tallac with plans to do Ralston Peak, but I was burned out by then, so I went down via Gilmore lake to Lake of the Woods and then down Horsetail Falls back to my car. What you didn't capture was the massive fields of shale coming down the peaks - especially Pyramid - that threatened to start a rock slide as you descend. And I know that traverse over to Agassiz was worse than what you showed in your video. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Horsetail falls is my favorite way in thank you for making this video. I am just about 40 and been going there since I was 16, my brother is 19 and showed interest in backpacking for the first time and wants to take the Pyramid creek trail in. I am going to show him your video it will be a heck of a first 3 day trip for him but once he gets to the top he will be in love. side not i will be slow and out of shape lol it will be a long hike.

Next week I'm there! I was going to tie this into my TRT loop back in '22 but I was a wreck by this point. I did a chunk of the YHR last year, but have never done a sustained ridge traverse before. Something about them is so appealing! We'll see how I feel about them AFTER... 😅 The shot at 13:45 with the ridge lined up in the background is lovely, btw.
@csn583
@csn583 2 месяца назад
Survived! 3 days would have been ideal. I camped near Pyramid Lake and didn't get down to Mosquito Pass until just after dark! (Only patchy soft snow, but I massively underestimated getting down from Price.) And then I still had to hike all the way out to Echo Lake TH... At 3am I was happy to find I hadn't been ticketed or towed for overstaying my permit! But feeling real rough otherwise. I don't know where the hell you were at 12:10! The snow definitely forced you right up onto the ridge in places where I had more freedom. That damned boulder field just would NOT end though. Much slower going than expected. Oh and no basecamp for me, but I wasn't carrying Nalgene bottles and metal grinders or anything crazy like that! 😅

Nice work on the route and capturing the vibe through the edit! I'd call the traverse fun, but I've only done it from the west side out of Lyons Creek drainage with no snow. Grateful for the beta on the zone, since we have permits for Deso this weekend with hopes of hitting the Fountain of Youth. Wondering if there will even be a pond to skim yet though? Either way, we're sending it with boards in hopes of at least getting some turns. How bad were the sun cups and runnels on the steeps?
