The Death Traverse // Climbing The Wedge, Sedona 

That is one of the most miserable, terrifying hikes I’ve ever watched. That scared me and I was just sitting in my easy chair.

That’s the closest to a panic attack I’ve ever been by watching a video! All I kept saying was F THAT over and over! The quality of this video should win an award!!!

This is the hardest video I've ever watched! My palms are dripping wet, and all I did was watch you guys. There's nothing anyone could give me that could get me to do that "hike" but it was crazy watching you guys. Maybe you should hike in wingsuits? I wish you great luck on all your future hikes!

Thanks for taking us along. Now I don't feel the need to go. We live in an amazing world with so much so many never see. Go Pros and drones have opened a new world for many of us that can't go along

I am envious os people who are not afraid of heights. This isn't enough money in the world to get me on this...Congrats!!

The loose sloping rock ledge with zero protection really scares TF out of me and I used to climb all over the US in my youth

I wonder who first did the wedge. Thats insanely beautiful and dangerous!! Glad both of you got down safe. The camera work was top notch.

You guys are absolutely nuts! I held my breath watching you walk The Wedge going. Then coming back I sped forward to skip that part. Great video footage of the canyon. Thank you!

I could feel my heart rate increase during this. Even though it was terrifying, I really enjoyed your footage from all the different angles and being able to see your experience. I love doing scrambles and a little bit of exposure but not nearly like this. Exhilarating. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us who will likely not be doing this, ever😂

This is very scary. By seeing this, my heart is coming to my mouth. Hats off to the duo. Really terrifying.

The problem is when you usually climb things people will say "don't look down" but with walking this incredibly small ledge you HAVE TO look down because you can't put a foot wrong, I would never choose to do something like this

Wow just WOW! Absolutely unbelievably terrifying. Yet you have my utmost respect and admiration for completing the Wedge. The video edits were fantastic and great background music/audio. Cheers

I don’t know what was more gnarly, the ledge or the bushwhacking.. nice video, great upcoming channel it’s going to grow so fast just don’t let that affect your decision making!

Yeah. Not happening for me. Not in the past, not in the present and not in the future. That is an insanely high risk. If that was a maintained trail with a guard to hook in a rope, I'd consider it. Absolutely terrifying.

I REALLY appreciate yall doing this crazy climb with such excellent videography since it is literally the only way I'll experience it 😂. Man, that looks fun, but my nerves had me shaking just watching the video.

Sweet route! For those of us who love exposure, Seneca Rocks in West Virginia has a route similar. It's a 5.6 grade, so you'll definitely need climbing skills and protection if you desire to try it. I've climbed all over the US and was never as terrified as the day i did that route.

That ledge was super scary ! I was literally sweating watching

Great video. Glad I ran across this. Totally in awe of your willingness and ability to take this on. And superb videography. Really well done, guys. Thank you for capturing and sharing this adventure.

Man, I had sweaty palms. It makes Angels Landing at Zion seems like a walk in the park. Good work.

Since I was young I never been afraid of heights I'm so comfortable up there. I remember I went hiking one day with one of my cousins he couldn't do he froze his legs started to shake. Heights is not for everyone

its always hard to watch these videos cause on one hand I love watching people explore new places and push their limits, but on the other I'm nervous for people who will undoubtedly try this same route and unknowingly step on loose rock or make a costly mistake.

The death ledge starts and I’m thinking that’s not so bad and then suddenly it’s like OMFG… when I saw the rocks fall underneath your feet that literally sent me over the edge 😱 So glad you have nerves of steel and lived to tell the tale!!

Amazing, terrifying…did I mention terrifying? Superb video work & great climbing. Awesome to have another post from you! 👍

as a Climber, this scares me more than actually climbing a multi-pitch route. Basically it is just walkn/hikin but one wrong move and your gone. While climbing I might get hurt, depending on the route, but I am not dead haha. crazy

Man you guys are insane, I had to close my eyes when y’all were going over those narrow ledges. Great video. Watching from Amarillo, Tx.

Have hiked in Zion and other parks… I’m by no means a risk-taker, and the narrow ledge and abundance of loose rock on The Wedge would’ve had me turning back. Great video, thanks!

Well now this was a interesting video and a most terrifying narrow ledge. Only a mountain goat would choose to walk that narrow of a ledge with loose rock everywhere. No way would I ever under any circumstance attempt to walk a ledge that narrow and probably instant death if I was to fall.

Too bad it's not a loop, how terrifying to have to go back down the same way!

Wow! So many nopes in the first 10 seconds! Can't wait to see how many more there are!! Edit: Halfway through and I've already cussed you twice, once to keep that drone away from Michael and the second time to put your damn camera away! Bunch of nopes so far. Final edit: my hands are sweaty and the back of my knees are full of pressure. Oh! And I found the rest of the nopes in the second half of the video! I appreciate very much you sharing this hike! I subscribed; but I'm not gonna be able to watch you before bed. I feel like I have to go run a mile to get rid of all the heebie jeebies. LOL Thanks guys!

So scary for me! I had to skip through some parts……too tough for an older man with a fear of heights. You guys are 2 brave ones!

That's a hell to the no. I won't even go out on Devils Bridge, so that ledge is 100% out of the question.

Wow, that was intense! Thank you for sharing your adventure, it was pretty awesome... Omg, on your way back I realised I was leaning to the left at about a 45 degree angle 😆

Wow, that was challenging on many fronts. Not only did you need sure footwork it was a real mind set doing that ledge, twice! On top of that all your battles with the vegetation. Well done to you both for perseverance and keeping your cool. Not surprising so very few have climbed that mountain before. Coming down looked terrifying. Awesome.

Holy crap! I won't describe the physiological reaction I'm having right now...as this is a family video. Good on ya! I did a scary ledge like that on Longs Peak once, but it was not that narrow and not that long! Also, I wasn't operating a drone.

Nonostante sapevo che riuscivate nell' impresa di questa folle escursione,ho temuto il peggio!Da infarto!Cmq, grandissimi complimenti...siete dei fenomeni!💯

You guys are so much braver than me. Hell no would I ever walk that death ledge.

this legit raised my heart rate on that wedge. the loose rocks, ur recording it all, the rocks falling. then there other guy is like "pretty cool, like yall dint almost each come very close to dying for a view you basically already had! Dude lol.Great video tho glad ur here to share it lol

The "Death" traverse... fitting description indeed... one miss and that's it... "goodbye blue sky." I wish you stay away from any of such kiss of death activities... Take care guys!

You guys are crazy, when i hiked the kalalau trail i thought it was terrifying. This seems crazier.

That feeling of the big wall pushing you towards the exposure is always disconcerting. The loose rock raises the pucker factor. Nice job!! I know it didn’t look worse than it is or else you guys wouldn’t have been putting much effort for another descent route!! If you need to sway someone to go just tell them class 1 ledge!!😂

I’m still trying to figure out how you dragged that massive set of balls across that narrow ledge. No way in hell would I ever try that! Respect. Serious respect. 👊🏻👊🏻

i wonder how many people have slipped and fell off that ledge. that was crazy

Holy crap was that scary. My hands were constantly sweating throughout your climb. Awesome

That was awesome guys, thanks. Now I don't have to do it lol..the narrow ledge section with the loose rocks is the deal breaker...bravo guys!

O M G You people are insane and I may need to see a physician after watching that. I mean Holy Moly... crazy.

That definitely had some pucker factor going on. I really enjoyed that. I would want to sign that log and see those views. Awesome !

I've done very similar traverses in the canyons of Utah. Just watching this is making my palms sweat.

The most terrifying gut-wrenching hike I've ever watched in my life!! I had to turn away a few times my heart couldn't take it.

Wow That Is Incredible Thank You Guys For An Awesome Challenge

At 8:48 my thoughts exactly. That's not a ledge. Glad I'm not the only one in the comments thinking the same thing. Well done.

New Subscriber here -- What an intense video. I look forward to exploring your other videos and seeing what you do in 2024! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

I had to constantly remind myself to breathe while watching this video 😂 I admire you both. I love horror movies because of the rush. But nothing tops the rush I just received from your video 😊

Gorgeous and impressive! I'm sitting here in Scottsdale watching you guys and I'm enjoying similar weather, but I feel totally lazy compared with what you are doing in it!

Yeeeeaaaahhh. No. I have balance issues thanks to a head injury. I’m not afraid, just trembling and shaky. I couldn’t do this but I’d like to. Enjoyed watching you. 👍☮️🌞🏜️🩵

Having watched the Mediocre Amateurs channel for years now, I thought I had pretty much seen all the 'intimidating' situations that one would actually have the balls to endure, but this my friend was almost too much to watch. Having said that, I applaud your effort and encourage you to do a collaboration with Danny (Mr. Mediocre), you guys seem to have a lot in common !

Wow. Just stumbled across your video - great work there by the way - and damn, does it bring back the memories. First of all I'm amazed that freaking jelly jar I put up there back in the day is still around! And second I think you folks took the same route I took... always suspected that's really the best way, despite the exposure. Good job on the climb....

No way Jose. I would be lying flat on that ledge, crawling along at a rate of one inch per minute.

My heart is pounding! Don’t think I would see anything but where my feet are stepping.

Amazing. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing

Incredible hiking video. Exposure filled trail and you guys laughed it off

Absolutely Terrifying guys! Glad you made it thru with no issues..Incredible POV camerawork

I can´t think of ANYTHING scarier than watching this video !!! You guys rule.

I now live close to Sedona. The place is really cool to hike and bike. Even when it is busy, there are so many trails, you can find something that isn't crowded.

Nope! lol. kudos. once i feel the butterflies, thats a no go. Watching those rocks fall off the edge as youre walking was enough. Happy New year!

Thats amazing. You guys are insane. Great job!

I don’t smoke, but I felt myself reaching for a cigarette to calm my nerves! Be careful out there guys!! Enjoyed the video! 👍👏👏

sweet baby grinch that's a big nope from me hahaha. Like I have a fear of heights but at the same time I like to scare myself a little bit if I know I'm safe. But NOT like this haha.

Wow! I hike in the mountains of Arizona all the time, but I still felt waaaay uneasy during certain parts of this video! Also, having done my fair share of bushwacking, I particularly felt your pain when that ledge proved to be impassible and you had to climb back up. Great video, thanks for posting!

I think they are both out of their minds.

Yikes! Kudos to you guys for your bravado! Remarkable footage--thank you for taking us on your journey. What would you do if you got half way and said, "No...I want to turn around"....??

I'm Scottish and spend every spare minute in the hills and mountains (The Highlands), but I never see the point in risking your neck for a Trek-Hike, just seems unnecessary.

Awesome hike, the ledge was very scary for me but the rest of the hiked looked like a lot of fun. Great video quality and narration.

The palms of my hands have never gotten that sweaty from just watching someone else climb a ledge. Damn!

Makes my legs weak just watching. Hats off to you guys I couldn’t do that lol

Such an outstanding video! You guys are so brave. The scenery and the music were just incredible. I hope this video gets all the views it deserves.

Thanks for sharing. Please be safe!

To watch you guys do this hike in short sleeves, back packs and a camera in your hand and show no anxiety or fear just blows me away. What's in your veins? Great tape! Thank you for sharing it!

Awesome in that red sandstone area, and looks amazing all the parts that aren't sketchy!!! I'm going to pass on the death ledge myself.. but good on you guys!

you guys are insane...!!! got me sweating all the video. Amazing footage and scenery dude.!

This video really cringed the sh!t outa me... exciting waste of time for someone who's seemingly got nothing to lose but risking his/her life, one fatal step and it's gone 😮 But the panorama view is amazing! Thanks for sharing you guys existed and doing this crazy things 😅 Greetings from Germany

Sedona’s finest. Yikes! 😅 Exhilarating. (gulp). Nice work and a beautiful film. Thanks! ✌🏻

Spectacular terrain . When they traversed the ledge the first time , I skipped ahead on the video ; couldn't watch . I watched the second traverse and regretted it . Hopefully , they don't tempt fate again .

Super film and amazing scrambling ! Congratulations 👌✌👍

Got two (2) words, well maybe 3. Yikes! And Breathtakingly beautiful!! Thanks for sharing

This somehow made me want to hike followed quickly by NEVER want to hike again, all in one video...I gotta go return these trekking poles

Holy crap, Batman! My stomach was in my throat!! Awesome video though 👍

WOW WOW 🤩 you guys are crazy!

You’re both adorable! Glad you made it as my heart was in my throat the whole way! Whew! 😎

It's not that bad. I just did one like this called Chicken Corners in Moab, Utah. The simple mind trick I used was to look only at my path directly in front of my feet. In my mind, I pretended like 1 foot to my right was 50 feet of wide trail. It worked. If there was 50 feet of trail, for a fact, I could run on a painted footprint more narrow then that ledge at 7 mph. Like in life, we can either psych ourselves into things, or out of things. I taught skiing. 100% of the time, when skiers assumed they would fall, they did. They expected to fall so they assumed a pre-crash posture, sitting way back and out of control. By contrast, I lean forward. Most things in life are a mindset. This ledge is perfectly wide enough to walk across safely for most people, most of the time. Fun trail! I also just did Angels Landing. It had a few spots like this and even a sheer mountain wall you have to grab onto a cable to get across. Really fun- great view at the top. Half-dome cable ascent was great too. Life is an adventure. Dig it. There are no do overs. No regrets.

Awesome adventure. You guys make great partners. That’s some serious exposure amid loose rocks

wow incredible best hiking channel ever.

It reminds me of the Hangover trail. We did that last Feb but i would never do this trail. Thank you for sharing.

Yikes! Beeee careful!!!! Pretty exciting!!! The Bushwhacking Banditos! You guys are adrenaline junkies! 😊❤

Superb video. You had me really worried as you crossed those narrow ledges. One false step and ...?? Still worth the risk if you know what you are doing. You are lucky to have such beautiful treks close by you. Cheers !

I've done a fair bit of similarly sized ledges, but never with that much loose rock. I would be sweeping it all down before stepping on it, for sure!

I cannot tell you how many times red sandstone scree has crumbled under me and teleported me a few feet away

From the camera view, that took balls!

Nail biter for sure dude, well done.

Amazing climb....amazing photography.... I have to say though, that the music was very difficult and detracted so much. Very hard to continue listening. I would have muted it, but i wanted to hear your talking.....

I'm not sure I could high five anyone on getting to the summit because I would be wondering how we get down
