Elephant's Perch | Big Wall Climbing in the Sawtooth Mountains
In this adventure Adam and Katie set out to climb a mountain in the Sawtooth range of central Idaho. The mountain's name? Elephant's Perch.
The climb is over 1000 feet of rock climbing split into 5-7 pitches (depending on where you decide to build trad anchors) and the overall grade is around 5.9
Originally climbed by the legendary dirtbag Fred Beckey after bushwacking through the wilderness and hardcore mountaineering his way up to the top of this beautiful formation back in the early days of rock climbing in the 1950's and 1960's. Nowadays many of the routes that were previously aid climbed, are free-climbed using modern gear for protection.
All music featured in this film was written, recorded and produced by Adam Angelico

    I am glad to see you guys still out there living the nomad life, and playing music and not getting sucked into all the negativity! I met you at the Rubber Tramp Rondeveau before Covid, where you did a hand stand in the talent show, and I did some Elvis Karaoke. I'll go back and look at what I have missed in your channel since they kept me subscribed, but took off notifications. I like you telling us that you are going to eq more presence into the guitar when you have it all.on headphones and we can't hear it. It reminds me of the difficulty of making videos of making studio recordings by yourself. That violin sounds dope and all fiddly, it made the mandolin ghost get up to boogie. Ahhhhh, the keyboard bass.... you need to just drop in some guitar lowered an octave.... But I just love the string band in lil insta pop up tent studio. I grew up about 30 miles from the Bluegrass Museum and Hall of Fame, so it brought me back.

      Wow RTR 2020 throwback! At that talent show I played my ukulele a little bit and back then almost 5 years ago now it was the only instrument I could really play! Since then I learned guitar and that lead to banjo, a year later fiddle, and recently the Mandolin. I’m glad you enjoyed the process and it’s nice to hear from a fellow musician who knows about recording and it’s unique challenges and opportunities.

    Outstanding!! So PROUD OF YOU 👏. Loved all the nice (gneiss) rocks, the pikas, the cirques, moraines, glaciers and the fact it was you doing that hike so I could sit back and enjoy!!!! By the way here’s a little scientific information. For every 300’ elevation gain you need to add 1 mile of expended energy to the overall mileage. Also add extra over 10,000’ as it increases exponentially for oxygen levels. Would have loved to have done an oximeter to see what your oxygen level and heart rate were. So I will say once again how proud I was of the both of you persevering! By the way you had Larry in the credits but I didn’t see him!

    YOU guys DID IT!!!! So wonderful to be able to watch and feel your myriad of physical and emotional challenges. The music certainly added to the personal experience. Way to go! I shall never summit this grand nor any other, but loved watching you achieve such personal accomplishment!

    Highly recommend not pull testing gear with both hands. If the gear pops, you're going to have a bad time.

      and this is why I leave all my tricams/nuts/hexes on a one or two biners for each gear type so that I can yank on the other ones with one hand to set/test the gear.

      Yep definitely learned that lesson the hard way. Also just choosing a better piece of gear rather than trying to force the wrong one to work. A flared sandstone crack doesn’t exactly call for a smallish tricam. Still it’s good to be humbled and reminded of the reality that rock climbing is very dangerous. Our Trad climbing skills have come a long way since then but there’s always plenty more to practice and new situations to problem solve.

      Thanks! It’s fun to try out different things with filming. I might need to get a newer camera one of these days to make those longer shots a little nicer. And thanks for your loyal viewership even on the “different” kinda videos. Hope you’re doing well out there!

    I went to college down there and always had summer classes, so Mt. Lemmon and i got to know each other pretty good. There's some really neat hiking/biking trails. A really cool spot to go swimming equipped with a natural slide. The views are absolutely incredible and the canopy is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed the memories.
