Rad! I need to get back to Utah some day.

Love the northern arizona / southern utah area

We have to get back to Utah. There is so much more there than just the National Parks. Good video.

I've been climbing the Siphon Draw for 45 years and remember when there was wreckage from a Air Force training jet that crashed in the draw. There were pieces of wings and all kinds of parts and the Boy Scout Troop from Apache Junction made it a troop effort to remove every trace fo the wreckage they could find and haul it physically off the mountain. Everyone likes Flatiron and most never find the way to the very top from Flatiorn because the trail is almost hidden and hard to find

I visited this place in September on my way to Moab, pretty cool area. I did not do the loop, instead I did the 3 individual down and up trails 🥵 Did you see there are petroglyphs at Kachina Bridge 😎

This is in my backyard, so to speak. I live in Dome Valley, near YPG. You pointed right toward my house when you said, "...whatever valley." And the peak you pointed out is not Fortuna Peak, but Boot Peak.

If you can run 60 miles in that heat, think how far you could hike!

Yea, I did the east and west (west is higher). East was sketchy, frankly dangerous. BTW, make sure you check out the Fisher Towers if you haven't already visited them, in Moab. The peaks are all technical, but it's great just to wander around without summitting anything.

Cool, I got lost coming down Muggins so bailed on this one, maybe have to go back to get it some time...

We met at the summit on August 8th. I have pictures of you in the video, you overtook us. On the descent you were damn lucky not to fall. The fixed rope was icy and you noticed the impending worst case scenario. That's why I went with a guide and am already a good climber, but not with crampons. A nice video and channel. Good luck to you in Patagonia. But also think about your limits. Best wishes Dirk

Loved the video and use to live down there in the desert. I just hate living in the land of Cacti. Everywhere there was something wanting to stab you.

Cool, I like the desert varnish, always good to have stuff right off a major highway. Another good (non-peak) hike right off Highway 8 is Valley of the Moon, just east of Jacumba

Lol, it's on alltrails, it must be easy.

Just a thought.... I was looking for video of Saddle Mountain for an upcoming trip and I ran across yours. Don't take offense, though you probably will. You have some really great video of the climb and I found all of it interesting and valuable but I also found your dialogue to be negative. What do Words like boring and not worth the time bring to the table? You shoot yourself in the foot. When you use those types of words no matter how good the visuals it makes me think, if you obviously aren't enjoying yourself then is this worth watching? From the sound of it, you were able to get to the top and back in a morning very easily and the views were spectacular. Sure it was a simple climb for you compared to others. You could have turned that whole thing into something inspiring for someone with little to no experience with a few hours to spare looking for a relatively easy climb. Your audience is diversified. That could be someones Everest and a beginning to a lifelong hobby. Just sayin... Like I said don't take it personally. The visuals were great.

Nice work regardless of the outcome, it was insanely hot out there this year and you still showed up the start line and put in 60miles during the hottest JJ on record (all while not feeling your best)!! More props for still getting your video posted even if it resulted in an unlucky outcome. Hope to see you back out there next year! 🙌🙌

Curious what time of day you started this hike? And anyone who complains about you posting a hike video is clearly not an intelligent person. That’s me putting it nicely for UA-cam. 😉 I’d prefer to be way more blunt about people like that. Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Nice, cool to see all those bristlecones, this is one I haven't done

You mentioned carbon plate shoes, What shoes were you wearing and what was the longest you had run in them before? I’d first suspect electrolytes but you seem sure you were up on those. Carbons definitely hit different when you are fatigued I have found but I wasn’t 60+ miles deep in a 100F day so I could see that effect being much worse.

Hey, have you climbed Borah Peak of Idaho?

One of these days you’re gonna summit Denali and make the most casual summit video ever made. 😂

Pretty sure where you got off track is the route to mummy springs which leads to the amazing Raintree that’s the oldest Bristlecone in the area. It’s huge. Just past that you can get to Mummy’s Toe and Mummy mountain summit from Mummy Springs. McFarland is a beautiful hike with an unrelenting long steep gully to the peak. Nothing more than easy class 3 but epic views. If you have time check out The Sisters Traverse, Mack’s Peak, and Mummy head to toe. We have some vids on lasvegasareatrails UA-cam showing these in last 6 months

Nice video. You're one of the few videographers that film the terrain between Old Army Pass and the summit of Mt Langley. I hiked to New Army Pass earlier this summer but didn't summit Langley. I plan to return next summer to summit Langley via New Army Pass. Since you went up Old Army Pass, what's your opinion of the trail conditions on that section? I've been warned by others not to take that route. I'd like to see your take on it. I do like NAP, but I'm curious about OAP.

I don't see any failure here. You ran 60+ miles of a REALLY tough first 100-miler due to the heat. Training for my first 50K in Moab in March, and this is inspirational asf. Thanks for sharing with us.

100 miles is a long way to run! … and you don’t really know what that means until you try. I failed in my first 100 too - a big part of my successful runs was not making as many mistakes

Tough luck on this year's race. I hear starting fast only works for the top tier athletes. Not a runner myself, but really do appreciate the effort those that can put into it! Hiked up Mount Ord Saturday, and of course, there were runners doing multiple 7 mile ascents! Maybe the Mogollon Monster 100 race in September 2025 is more you style, hiking up and down the rim 6 or 8 times!

Went to Zion last week and did this one, South Ariel, Hepworth/Roof, and Deidre. Mountain of the Sun was incredible and definitely my favorite. Secret weapons were clutch for the crux and for South Ariel. Hoping to go back for more peaks. Love your videos man!

That was such a beautiful day🙌🏽

Magnificent views and well-orchestrated video. Thank you for sharing.

Cool soundtrack. Where did you find it?

Man I’ve always wanted to do this, non of my friends hike so I’m always up at Whitney or the High Sierras here in SoCal by myself but a hike like this for me is unfamiliar territory.

Climb down is so sketchy. I'd rather base jump it 😂

Посеред казкової краси гір вирує життя звичайних людей. І тягнуться туристичні маршрути альпіністів. З вершини гори відкриваються безкраї горизонти матінки-Природи. Відчуття перебування на вершині -словами передати не можливо.

“These are bomber holds as long as they don’t break loose”. LOL

just imagine the first people who summit for the first time, how hard it was 😅

I like the Matrix reference. Good luck with the desert ultra marathon!

Nice climb, congratulations! You were very much alone on the descent. Where did all the morning summit climbers go?

City FAILED to provide reasonable parking

Amazing video! I really enjoyed watching all the hand holds....I had a hankering to climb a while back, so I did Withita Mountains, not Weavers, but still a fun class 3. Get up is fun, getting down... not so much.

This peak was no joke; I did the trail off US-50 (6mi, 4000') and it brought me to my limit. Granted I've never been at such high altitudes and am not super conditioned, but it took me like six hours to do, with the last bit of talus boulders taking an hour on its own. I felt so sorry for the guys that I went with who wanted to do the Crystal Range Traverse...

I can see why the commentators are impressed, and I congratulate you on successfully climbing the Matterhorn. That said, it's evident that you're not experienced in this kind of terrain, and some parts of the climb were irresponsible. My concern is that videos like this inspire inexperienced people to attempt similarly challenging climbs, which can lead to serious accidents. Best of luck with your future climbs!

Saw your business card on my car at the TH and saw you pass me on Aasgard. Love the content!

My friend and I overnight camped up on top of flat iron this last new years. Honestly one of the coolest things I've ever experienced, as soon as midnight rolled around the entire valley lit up with fireworks, we started super late and had to go up in the dark for around 2 hours with an extra 30 lbs or so each of camping gear but it was really dope lol would recommend

When you get up there a bit there's a few places where you wouldn't want to lose your balance and fall to the right.

That view 😍

Your definition of "easy" and "tame" is vastly different than mine.

If you think the crestones are tame, what other 14ers challenged you?

Hey man, I did an attempt of the matterhorn on Sept 1st 2024, and I stayed in the exact same room as you did! What a coincidence! I was in bed 1 BTW.

Great video, love to relive this stuff. I think that's called Little Yosemite Valley there on the South side.

Nice video! Planning on doing clouds rest and the half dome diving board in May. Yosemite is an amazing park the granite is truly amazing. Also hitting bridge mountain in Vegas and lady mountain in Zion in a few weeks thx for the walk throughs! I would have otherwise never considered such hikes

2nd peak I ever summited. It's a fine hike apart from the massive amount of traffic for what would otherwise be a pretty mediocre peak. Nearby Monument offers the same experience with none of the crowds.
