Hey there- a big thanks to everyone who has watched and enjoyed the video! One quick thing: a decent amount of people have asked me how to go about hiking this route, in terms of permits, logistics, resupply, maps, etc. Keeping in the spirit of responsible off-trail wilderness travel, I would encourage anybody interested in trying it to seek out the map sets and guidebooks for the individual routes, create your own itinerary, and then get in touch with the ranger station nearest your starting trailhead to obtain a permit. For some basic information and guidance, check out my trip report on Reddit, linked in the description.

I never even considered a trip like this, hiking over passes without trails and class 2 and class 3 climbing. I’m not adventurous and I’m much too much of a chicken to have ever attempted this kind of trip. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible adventure and experience!

@DanStenziano 10 месяцев назад

Never say never :)

@mitchellbarnow1709 10 месяцев назад

@@DanStenziano That is true Dan! I am really enjoying the 45 minute long trip on almost no trails across the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains from northern Yosemite to Mt Whitney! I love Bishop Pass and have actually been there several times. We always stayed at Parchers Resort and drove up to South Lake to start our hike. The view at the Pass is awe inspiring, just the countless trail less passes on your 300 mile journey.

Few minutes into the video I stopped watching it on my phone and switched to the tv. Kicked back on the couch and enjoyed the whole thing. One of the best trail videos I’ve watched.

@jamesbadham228 3 года назад

Had a moment between tasks today and did what I occasionally do: search RU-vid for Sierra High Route. I've seen all the videos, but then wait, here's a new one. Needless to say, my next task did not get done. Instead I went full screen and watched this straight through. Great work. Quiet presenting style, fantastic shots, nice coverage of the passes. First shot was awesome and it never stopped. Your crew is humorously quiet and calm; chillin' and walkin' -and hungry. I'm 65 and will probably not ever do this; none of my friends even wants to do a section of off-trail stuff, so I'm glad to see you guys in your 20s doing this for my vicarious enjoyment. So cool.

@lindsaynewell6319 3 года назад

The filmmaking, editing and narration is high quality and engaging. It takes a special skill to provide something for everyone - the armchair hiker who is living vicariously through you, the trail hiker who may be inspired by it to stretch their comfort zone and the off-trail enthusiast who can now visualize the route and use it for planning their own adventure. As a hiker/trail runner/mountaineer, I would put this documentary up there with the best content from Mediocre Amateur, Billy Yang, Ginger Runner and other outstanding YT outdoor content creators. Congratulations and thank you.

@uprightape100 3 года назад

That was lovely......thank you. Fun fact: in the '80s my Bro and I were bushwhackin through Humphry's Basin and one morning the 6.4 MM Chalfant Valley Quake struck. The western flank of Mount Humphrys came down in a massive scree landslide. Very exiting.

@grantbentley4177 3 года назад

Really a testament to having mates around when the adventure gets real. You stayed within yourself- a humble but competent thru hiker that brought us along the crest (I took my wife to White Bear Lake and Vee Lake one year so we know the area around Bishop really well).

@nobodyhikes 3 года назад

Beautiful work, Dan! Congratulations on conquering this beast of a route.

@PINEPUPPY 3 года назад

Basically speechless. Incredible, breathtaking scenery. I could barely watch the cliff climbing. It would seem to me that completing that trip without a major injury would be about as likely as winning the lottery. Guess that's just part of being 70. The photography, editing, commentary, and soundtrack were really professional. A true, quality, mountaineering movie. Yet another feather in your cap , Dan. Hats off to you and your pals for an amazing journey and a wonderful presentation.

@DanStenziano 3 года назад

Thanks Charlie!!

@jaquestraw1 2 года назад

Absolutely incredible. I knew so many of the passes and summits you encountered but never from the vantage points you had. Considering the level of difficulty, it's amazing that you covered over 13 miles a day! Fantastic footage, great story telling, thanks so much! I gotta get out, like tomorrow!! Alas, the Sierras are closed till the 18th. I'll have to wait 😐

@DanStenziano 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you can get out soon. Scary situation in CA…

@jamesbadham228 2 года назад

First saw this more than a year ago. Today, it just popped up when I opened something, so I watched, thinking it was a new upload. Though I've seen it before, I watched again. It is still, to me, by far, the best of the SHR vids I've seen. The imagery is great. No confusing super-fast pans. Lots of information about where and how far. Most of these videos suffer from either a lack of narrative continuity, poor technical skills and editing, sparse information that doesn't align with what is being shown, or some of these or all of them. This is great work. And your speaking style and manner and insights -- depth without trying to be "deep" -- are greatly appreciated. After hitting "save," I saw that my previous comment from a year ago is right below this one.

@DanStenziano 2 года назад

@gregquartucy1096 2 года назад

Dan Thanks so much for producing and sharing this video. Truly an inspiration. I did two sections of Roper's High Route in the 90s in separate summers; all that i could handle then was a week at a time. Now, as i approach my 70's, getting out for a one week backpack on trails (with maybe some short, easy xc parts) seems like quite an accomplishment for me. Again, thanks so much for sharing your trip. Seeing some of the places that i visited many years ago made me smile. Cheers

Dan, kudos to your awesome adventure and much thanks for this video! This is one of the best I've seen that goes beyond the usual to actually capture the boundless beauty, the emotions, and sense of wonder brought on by the Sierras. I've been backpacking and mountaineering in the Sierras for 50 years. Just explored Second Recess, White Bear Pass, even Gables Lakes and Indian Lakes this year. Was at Tulainyo a while back and Junction Pass. So, it was great to see them again in your video. One thing that I saw happen to you and happens to me every time, is becoming overwhelmed, and the loss of words, when trying to describe the feeling of day after day of unrelenting incredibly beautiful mountains!
