Mount Tallac: Tahoe’s Best Ski Line
Mount Tallac is the tallest peak on Tahoe’s immediately shore line. With stunning views of the lake and great conditions, this was one of the best days of skiing I’ve ever had. We skied this in April 2024 and it was pretty unreal how we could be warm on Tahoe’s beach looking up at the line we had just skied that morning. If you’re making a ski bucket list, this one needs to be on it!

Petit Piton Climb: Best Peak in Saint Lucia
Переглядів 69Місяць тому
The Saint Lucia flag features the pitons, the two iconic peaks on the island. Gros Piton (2,619') and Petit Piton (2,425') are similar in size but are very different in how you access the summit. Gros Piton is offered as a guided trip by several resorts and there is a trail all the way to the summit. However, it does not offer as many views. Petit Piton offers 360 views from the summit and has ...
Bloody Couloir Climb And Ski: First Of The 50
Переглядів 7763 місяці тому
Bloody Couloir is listed as one of the 50 classic ski descents of North America. Located near Mammoth Lakes, California, it is easy to see why the Eastern Sierra is famous for its backcountry lines. With firm conditions, this was definitely a tough ski for me but still ranked as one of my favorite days of the season!
Quandary Peak Solo Climb and Ski
Переглядів 1565 місяців тому
Quandary Peak in Colorado is an excellent choice if you are just getting into ski mountaineering. The avalanche danger is almost always minimal (if you descend via the Northeast Bowls) due to the slope angle always staying around 30 degrees. The ascent is about 3.2 miles with approximately 3500 feet of vertical up to 14,265'. My ski descent was on March 10, 2024.
W Trek: Torres Del Paine of Chilean Patagonia
Переглядів 6268 місяців тому
The W Trek is probably the most famous hike in Patagonia and for good reason. It covers some beautiful terrain in Torres Del Paine National Park. The trail covers 46 miles with around 10000 feet of elevation gain. While we opted to do this in 2 nights, most take 3-5 nights to take more time and enjoy the sights. We had to do it this way because of our schedule and because most of the campsites ...
Mount Abbott: Glacier National Park of British Columbia
Переглядів 299Рік тому
Mount Abbott was possibly my favorite hike of my recent trip to the Canadian Rockies and Montana. Glacier National Park of BC seems to be much less known than the one in Montana, but both are spectacular. The whole drive along Rogers Pass is truly incredible and I would highly recommend adding this to the list if you are taking a trip to the Canadian Rockies!
Mount Willis: Hidden Gem of the Canadian Rockies
Переглядів 134Рік тому
Mount Willis is the tallest point in the White Goat Wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. This wilderness area is located just outside Banff National Park. With no marked trails and steep scrambling, this multi-day trip definitely came with challenges but was well worth it! Lots of wildfire smoke during this portion of our trip, but the White Goat Wilderness is still one of my new favorite places...
Chilean Patagonia: The Marble Caves

The Marble Caves right outside of Puerto Río Tranquilo were one of the most amazing things I saw while I was in Chile. A must-see if you are driving the Carretera Austral!
Cerro Castillo: Laguna Duff Hike
Переглядів 295Рік тому
The hike to Laguna Duff is just one of the many hikes in Cerro Castillo National Park in Chile. I believe this is one of the most underrated parks in Patagonia! It rivals Torres Del Paine and is less crowded. We did this with about half a day of hiking on the first day, camped at Camp Los Porteadores, then hiked to Laguna Duff and back to the car on the second day. One of the best parts of the ...
Mojon Rojo: An Argentina Ascent
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
Mojon Rojo is an amazing mountain in Los Glaciares National Park. The park is famous for many things including being the location of Fitz Roy. Fitz Roy is the logo of the Patagonia brand! The summit offers views of Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Torre Egger, and so much more. The sunrise hitting the mountains over Laguna Sucia might have been the prettiest thing I have ever seen! This climb isn’t extre...

Thompson Peak is the tallest peak in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Idaho is definitely one of the most underrated states in the US and this range goes to show that Idaho is definitely more than potatoes!

Capitol Peak Day Climb
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
One day push to the summit of Capitol Peak! This climb is typically done in 2 - 3 days and I think doing it this way definitely would have made it easier. If you are considering checking this summit off your list, this is the hardest standard route for a 14er in Colorado... someone lost their life a week after we climbed it. I would definitely recommend getting used to some exposure before atte...
Mt Hood Climb to Summit

Awesome climb to the summit of Mt. Hood! We did this May 11, 2022. Good conditions led us to do this with one ice axe and no ropes, but guided teams still roped up for extra safety,
To the summit of Truchas Peak
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
Made the summit of south Truchas Peak, New Mexico. In my opinion, New Mexico is one of the most underrated states in the union. Made the summit on November 12, 2021! Brought ice axes and microspikes with in case they were needed, but fortunately the weather had been dry and although it was more than cold enough for lots of snow, we had very little to deal with.

just so you are aware it's pronounced Ta-lack
Thanks!
I love it! My first ever back country line. Did it at age 17 in 1997, the one season I lived in Tahoe.
@@timothyward2719 Probably got you hooked on backcountry!
Looking forward to hearing about your trip.
What a view! Good watch on my lunch break haha
Thanks man!
Looking forward to hearing about your trip to st. Lucia 😃. Hopefully one day I will get to visit there 😃.
Behind you was East Pecos Baldy. :-). Pecos Baldy is next to it. Nice little ridge between the two.
WOW
members only
huzzah! I love steep scary loud terrible skiing awesome sauce
@@mikebartholow Thanks man!
Get out East to Tuckerman sometime - you will have one of the best days of your life!
@@richardpare3538 Thanks for the tip would love to check it out!
@@houtdoors5992 Tucks weather can vary a LOT, even on the hike up! Mt Washington is at the convergence point of 3 major weather patterns, and can get rather brutal. My advice is to get ahold of one of the locals and plan on going with them - they will know when it is best, and when to not even think about it. Probably best to go on a weekday - the weekends later in the season can get rather crowded, though the atmosphere is always fantastic - party time galore! Way back when, 50 years or so ago, I was there one weekend in May when there were almost 10000 people there! If possible, stay a night in one of the huts, but you would most likely not get a reservation as they are booked usually almost a year in advance.
Apparently people ski it and we will try as well 😂
Early signs it was gonna be an adventure 😂
Looks like a fun trip to Colorado 😃.
It was great!
How many people did you run into on this trail? My goal is to get to that beautiful lake at the base of Thompson!
It was a pretty small amount of people the day I went. I think less than 10 people!
this was absolutely amazing and super beautiful. Thank u for sharing!!!! It's a beautiful world that we live in. Thank You Jesus!
Thank you! Yes, it’s great out there!
What lake is that below the summit? About 12 minutes into the video? Thanks for sharing!
I’ve heard it was called “9000 feet lake” from people I talked to but I haven’t really seen a name for it other than that. Beautiful lake though.
@@houtdoors5992 ok. Thanks
Great video. I’m looking forward to seeing you this summer 😃.
Guy learning here: where is the Crevasse at 04:00? Great video!
You can’t see it! But we knew we were on a glacier so it can always be possible there is one under a thin layer of snow. It’s just something you definitely need to watch out for. However, in the area we were in, I felt confident enough we were on a good spot on the glacier that we didn’t rope up like you would on most other glaciers. But I was still definitely keeping an eye out.
My brother and I do Wheeler every January. I love seeing people giving new mexico mountains love. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I was born in New Mexico and miss it. I think it is a very underrated state.
Pumping out that quality outdoor content!
Thanks man!
Sick! Was that a tour chopper you can here or something else going down?
I couldn’t tell if it was a rescue chopper or tour chopper!
@@houtdoors5992 still neat!
At 3:36 the cameraman was out of breath lol
Hahaha I was out of breath with ya
Looks like a fun trip you took I can’t wait to hear all about it when I get to see you again Matthew.
For sure!
Sick video, glad I was the first to see it!
Thanks man!
I’m so happy you posted a video of yours Matthew to watch to keep me from thinking about the fact I’m sick with a no fun sinus infection at the moment. great video and I hope you had a great trip to Canada.
Thanks Lea! I hope you feel better soon!
@@houtdoors5992 thank you I appreciate it.
Looks a cool climb! Had trouble with crevasses in that glacier crossing?
Fortunately where we crossed the glacier had not opened much yet! So no trouble.
How can I get to the lake ?
what trail can I take to the lake ? not the peak
If you go on AllTrails and find the trail that says “Thompson peak via Fishhook, Alpine Way, and Thompson peak and look at that map, the lake right under the peak is that lake I think you are referring to!
Wow, what a beautiful mountain range! Added to the list! Lol
A must-see!
I can’t lie, that Trammell guy is prettier than the caves
This is beautiful! What was the water temp?
It was pretty cold! This is General Carrera Lake, the same lake that Doug Tompkins (founder of North Face and person who bought a lot of Patagonia for National Parks) died in from a kayaking accident. It can get extremely wavy and it stays cold pretty much year round. So gotta be careful kayaking on it!
That’s wild, hence the dry suits!
Looks like a fun trip to Porto Rico Matthew. Can’t wait to hear all about your trips next time I see you again.
Wow, this place is truly breathtaking my friend. Absolutely brilliant cinematography and atmosphere!
I’m looking forward to getting to hear all about your trip when I see you again Matthew 😀.
Will have to tell you all about it!
@@houtdoors5992 sounds good 😃
I just tried to summit today from Redfish. About 2 miles in, the trail was covered in knee to waist high deep snow. I trekked on anyways until the last switchback before reaching the lake. The snow was incredibly deep and scary, had to turn around and take my time to stay safe. Will definitely come back another time in late summer!
Yes I heard they had a huge snow year! I went in July, I hope you can get it next time!
Why you always wildin
Why you always wildin with me? 🤔
I hope you had a great time on your trip.
Thanks Lea!

I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness :)
Thank you!
I appreciate this. Redfish was a destination for our family for several years in the early '70's. Our family did many backpacking trips in the Sawtooths and Whiteclouds. I also went with Boy Scouts. It was good to see the area from the vantage point you attained. When I was in high school I got permission from my parents to take a solo overnight hike up to Bench Lakes, which you no doubt went by on your trip. I had a terrible night in a plastic tube tent being eaten alive by mosquitos.
It truly is one of the prettiest places in the US but not as popular as many of the national parks etc! A hidden gem. I’m really hoping to go back, glad you have made so many good memories there.
What month was this recorded?
July! Late making the video haha
How did I find a video on my recommended released 18 mins ago?
Great video Matthew and your hike looked like lots of fun.
How was the descent via the Pearly Gates?
I’m so happy that you uploaded a video today to help me keep my mind off of the Hurricane and Tornado watch s/ warning s here in Florida.
Praying for y’all!
@@houtdoors5992 Thank you Matthew
What a beautiful place and a great video. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.I hope to see more from your channel soon.
Thank you!
INCREDIBLE! Hiking on the razors edge there for sure. What an awesome adventure!!
I have those same gloves and they are awesome!
Thanks! It was great, one of the prettiest places I have seen in Colorado.
@@houtdoors5992 that drop looked deadly!
@@MetroOnTheMove It was! Unfortunately someone died a week after we climbed it when a handhold came loose.
@@houtdoors5992 yikes! Cherish the moments right?
Glad y’all had fun! The quality on this is amazing!!
Thank you!
Dude this is crazy! Straddling the knife edge and the beta on doing it one sided was the best part. Excited to see what you do next!
It was awesome man! Definitely one of the hardest things I’ve done!
Great video Matthew and I’m glad you and your amazing friend had a good fun hike. Also what exactly did you climb because my mom will probably ask me when I send her the video or when she gets a chance to watch it. ❤ you and miss you. ✨
Capitol Peak in Colorado! Thanks Lea!
@@houtdoors5992 your welcome ✨😃
Dude the pearly gates looked incredible from below! Crazy stuff.
It was an awesome experience for sure!
How steep is it throughout the pearly gates? Is there a less steep route?
I have read that it is roughly 70 degrees so it is approaching being completely vertical. The old chute which would be to the left of the pearly gates as you are climbing up is less steep from what I have read. But it is a less direct route to the summit. With our good conditions, we were able to do the pearly gates unroped and with only one axe, but in different conditions we might have really wanted to have two axes. It all depends on the conditions of the snow and ice as to which route you take in my opinion.
It's 50 degrees, but sometimes there are some steps. It's not almost vertical, come on man..
