Caving in Skaha
Переглядів 775Рік тому
Cave in Skaha, Penticton. Fairly easy with ropes on all the steep sections. It should take less than an hour to complete, with about a 20 minute approach from the North Skaha parking lot. Tightest section is the end, with the rest being fairly roomy. I ran onto a group of three midway through the cave, and they helped film the exit squeeze for me.

Mt Sir Donald NW Ridge Solo

Mt Sir Donald. Took about 12 hours from the bivy site below the col. Descent took around the same time as it took up, with a lot of the time spent routefinding on the west face bypass descent. Don't follow the line that is put up by the national park descent guide, follow the cairns instead. Most rappels were 20-25m. Cost 10 bucks for the national parks pass, and another 10 to camp at the bivy ...
Bugaboos - Pigeon Spire West Ridge Solo
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
Hiked on July 30th. B-S Col was still in, but the top was melting fast. Easy snow travel to the base of Pigeon with very obvious crevasses to avoid. Up to the base of Pigeon there were no crevasses, and no snow on the route. No rappels, except for the B-S Col. Drove up the morning of the 29th at 5AM, got to the parking lot at 5PM. Took 3 hours to reach Applebee camp from the lot. Woke up around...

Mt Robie Reid on August 29th, 2021 Elevation Gain: 2755m Total Time: 14:34 (including sitting in the car for 20 minutes) Length: 27.3km A little over 14 hours car to car. I ended up scrambling to the side of the first chimney crux, likely low 5th class. There's a water source up past the tarns about 1500m up that has runoff from the glacier. Bring a headlamp.
Markhor Needle Traverse

6 1/2 hours car to car. Drone flying was done from outside of the park boundary. Please respect your local drone laws. Crux IMO was coming off the Markhor peak, might want to bring a rope to rappel if you're not confident downclimbing.

      Hey! It’s the moment x strohl camera backpack. I’d say it’s a little expensive if you’re just carrying camping stuff, the hyperlite backpacks might be better for your needs. If you’re carrying a small camera/drone with camping gear then it’s perfect. Just enough room for everything!

The resulting footage is clearly a few notches above the other videos taken with a handheld cam or mounted on the helmet. Some of the angles were very deliberate and the framing was very cinematic. The opening forest scene's lighting was very dramatic. Simply amazing! Thank you.

    Great video! Just curious: at the 40sec mark you can be seen wearing a camera holder pack on your hipbelt. What pack is that exactly? I bike and ski with a large chest pack that is pretty bulky and cumbersome. I'm looking for a better option. I have a Sony mirrorless camera which I typically carry with a 70-200 lens. Curious if the bag you use might be a good option? Many thanks!

    • @BCHiking
      @BCHiking 10 місяців тому

      It’s the Moment Alex Strohl backpack! It’s basically a hiking backpack with a camera cube insert at the bottom. The hip pack is by them too, but I’ve found I prefer to just use a quick release system instead. The bag would easily fit a 70-200 lens, probably a 24-70 and the body inside the camera insert. If you have the hip pouch as well (I brought my Blackmagic and a Sony a7rii) you can carry several bodies with you easily!
