Sky Pilot 

Thanks! Yeah the drone helps get perspectives that are hard to get with a go pro

So film with a go pro when you hike? And where do you put your drone? Your backpack seems too small to fit a drone.

@@DeeDee-vl2sd I only had two shots in the video with a go pro, the one going up the snow and going down. The rest was shot with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, on a tripod. The drone was in my bag! I was using a Mavic Air 2 so it packs down pretty small.

Thanks Chucky!

Thanks! If you weren't comfortable with the scrambling bits there are some bolts and rappel rings above the pink slab if you're wanting to bring a rope.

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch!

I hope this video helped!

Thanks!

Thank you! Just was a little wet for the rest of the hike down

Great job! I read your trip report in SW peak baggers group, good on you for being over prepared!

@@BCHiking thank you 🙏 for taking the time reading … realized I bought the wrong size and length of rope that practically exhausted my energy towards the last and most critical part of this alpine hike climb … will go back again soon and hopefully in a better physical condition with smarter approach and smaller backpack

I did it round trip in about 6 1/2 hours but I would allocate more if it’s your first time!

It's pretty good for ambient sounds! Fairly sensitive and the auto on feature is pretty convenient

It's all the description!

haha I'm a snow gumby

Thank you!

I’d say if you’re used to a bit of climbing it’s easy, if you’re used to mostly hiking then it’ll feel hard. Technically it’s not too big of a day (First time I hiked it it was car2car in 6 1/2 hours at a casual pace) but it can get bigger and more real if you’re not used to exposure or heights. I’d recommend easier scrambles first like golden ears or needle peak. If those feel way too easy, then maybe you’d enjoy Sky Pilot!

That’s Habrich! There’s a few climbs on there I was looking at doing, specifically Life on Earth 10.c

@@BCHiking cool, I hope you get to do that climb and I would love to see that in person or posted on RU-vid. I found Al's Habrich Ridge trail online, not sure if this trail takes you right to the base or the spire or not. Also, how do you find these climbs and their ratings?

@@robhasenwinkle Thanks Rob, maybe I'll film it one day. There's a scramble route that goes around the side and takes you right to the top, but I'm not sure of it's difficulty. For climbs I use mountainproject to search the area, or from a guidebook.

@@BCHiking man I would like to see that potential video. And honestly, I would like to do the hike that takes one to the base of Habrich. I am also interested to do a hike with you sometime. I do enjoy scrambles too.

If you're okay with hiking mostly snow it'd probably be doable, but not as enjoyable until probably June/July when the snow melts. The scrambly bits at the top wouldn't be too fun with snow in the mix. At around 4:20 in the video just before the pink slabs there's a pretty nice spot that has some flat areas where it looks like some people have camped before. If you look at the drone footage at around 0:15 seconds the camping spot is in the middle of the screen. Might be a bit windy though!

@@BCHiking thanks so much! Will wait ‘til august :)

@@Deweythesecond It's august! Considering it tomorrow. How long do you think it will take from the top of the Sea-To-Sky gondola?

Everything up to the pink slabs is pretty easy, with some rockfall potential at the glacier. Once you’re up at the slabs it’s solid rock but its sheer drops on either side with some slippery talus sections above. If you’re not solid on 4th class scrambling it might be a little nerve wracking in some sections!

@@BCHiking hiking is a stupid hobby when you have a fear of heights like me haha thanks for the info. Sweet video man!

Wouldn't say anything on here is class 5, more like 4th class so long as you stay on route

I’ve seen people go off route on the pink slab and it looks pretty dicey if you do. Easy to rack up real exposure if you traverse out climbers right too far. Agree with class 4 scramble. Fantastic videos dude. 👌

Camera on tripod, walk in front, walk back, repeat!

Depends on if you're a climber! If you are it feels pretty easy, if you're not it could feel pretty hard. I'd give it an easy class 4 rating but it's all subjective!

I did it. Piece of cake. Pink slabs were class 2 tops

You should wear a helmet. Thanks for watching, Mr experience!

He's also holding his ice axe backwards on the glacier... not much point carrying one if you don't know how to self arrest

Haha yup. The pick was gone. Hope you were entertained
