In this video I take you through one part of my process, in this case I have not done any research on the routes, I just pull up the map and start....

Love the content! Just found you on IG. Where would you recommend someone new to mountaineering look to find a team to take on an expedition such as Denali. Recently took an into to mountaineering on Mt. Baker though AAI and seeking more training and experience.
Awesome advise. I have done Rainier twice and just did Emmons route last month. My big objective is Denali. 2025 may be the year.
Great interview. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Ha ha. I am going to Denali from Florida and am watching this in the altitude tent.
Lots of great info on here. I'm curious to clarify something that was said and hopefully you can get the correct info. When Scott talks about going from 14 to Summit in a push, he states his given metric as 1,000 m/ hour at first, but then goes on to say 1,000 ft/hr several times. Which is it? Obviously 1,000 m/hr is better, but I'm curious to know exactly what he meant.
Dang! Nathan, you're right. At about 24:30 I switched systems inadvertently. What I said at the start is what i meant. 1000m/hour is the metric to use. Sorry for the confusion.
3000 ft an hour at high altitude, I’m doubtful of that. I’ve been up there multiple times and never seen any individual or groups moving at that rate. That would mean about two hours from 14,000 camp to summit. That’s not happening or achievable
@@cliff9286 I’m not sure if you listened to that section of the actual commentary. He’s talking about the capability of doing 1000m/hr at lower elevations being a fitness marker for considering a push from 14>summit. No one was talking about doing 1000m/hr at 14 and above during this discussion or in my question.
@@cliff9286but fwiw Jack Kuenzle did around 1000m/hr during his speed ascent while I was on the mountain.
Great video! This is an awesome tool for planning my trip this August.
Right on! Have a great trip.
Great resource!
Good shit!! Love to sit in and listen, lots to learn 🏴☠️
Thank you for the stoke, it keeps me motivated to do more!
