September 2017 climb of Mt Robson. We took the Patterson Spur approach and summited via the Kain Face. The climb took 5 days.

A few short clips of us riding through Nevada. We followed the backcountry discovery route from Elko to Austin.

The Pan American Trail takes it up to Deadhorse in August 2017. This video isn't really edited, I just threw a bunch of clips together that I had. Everything was shot on a Galaxy s6 Active so excuse the bad quality.

Custom shorty exhaust welded to om headers and midpipe. Cold start up. Sorry for the background noise and the overall poor sound quality.
Good job guys! Gives a really good sense of a challenging climb.
Fantastic! Thanks for posting.
Great video! You decided against descending the Patterson Spur? Looks sketchy in spots but efficient.
Yes. We descended the Robson Glacier which was relatively straightforward to descend but would have been challenging to ascend. As this was 6 years ago, I would imagine the glacier is in much worse condition now, especially the Mousetrap Icefall section on the Robson glacier. Currently, I would guess that ascent and descent via Patterson would be the best option.
what time of year did you climb?
Mid-September 2017!
@@allenstoltzfus7006 very cool, that's one hell of an accent. Do you think it would be viable to climb in summer months or would the kain face be to soft. Again insane inspiring accent, props.
No way I just stumbled across your youtube! I’ve been following you and James on Instagram for years now, since your journey along the Pan American. I’m currently planning a trip to summit Spantik! You mad lads are inspiring!
Such an accomplishment. How did you guys get to the point where you guys decided to do mount Robson? What big mountains did you guys do prior to mount Robson?
Thanks! We trained a lot in the NE in the winter to dial in gear systems, winter travel, etc. Then we climbed Denali via the West Buttress with a very experienced friend a few months prior to Robson.
@@allenstoltzfus7006 Really hard to find stupid friends like you guys. Lucky you :D
🛵🐲🇨🇴🇨🇦👍hello in colombia biker....
What kind of saddle bags are on those bikes?
They are custom-made leather saddle bags. They are mounted to the racks with mosko moto mounts. My friend James (on the trip as well) owned a leather company which was how we had them built.
Awesome job, all. A serious mountain. Got stormed in for 5 days at 9,500' +/- at the base of the north face in '78. Was glad to be down. Looks like you had some typical Robson weather too.
Couloir looked inviting!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
WHOA.. That can't be good or memorable.
Maybe not good, but certainly memorable! :)
Well done, well done.
Wow that was great
Well done guys! Managed to summit via Schwartz ledges in 1998 with a friend, fantastic time. Best conditions in 20 yrs, lucky timing.
Wow! Congrats on the climb, that must feel amazing. Such an interesting video to watch, I appreciate the comments along the way as you describe the route and what you plan to achieve. Felt like i was along with you :)
This is an amazing and well executed trip, the footage also is incredible. Great job and congrats 😀
Nice trip. Well done guys 👍🏻.
Where you get that exhaust
gettttttin it done for the boys!!!!!! absolutle legends!! you fellas CLEARLLY gave it the beans. fuck yea
Niceee, greetings from Chile ✌🏻
Well done lads! I often climb with a team of 3, which is neither easier nor faster. Good job!
Thanks! 3 person teams definitely require more work and coordination, but sometime that's how it shakes out, and it's still fun!
This is an entertaining and accurate description of what this climb entails. A friend and I did it 37 years ago, and the life memory feels like last week. We were lifted by crazy youthful energy and were much less concerned with safety, which allowed faster movement. We carried an 11mm rope and had a couple of ice screws but never used the screws, using a short rope technique for the Kain face and glacier only. We bivouaced at the top of the face because of concern the ice was a little too wet to do in the late afternoon, waking in the dark to go down before the sun rose the next day. I remember watching the wind blow our tent (left at the bottom of the Kain face with sleeping bags inside) across the glacier, since we didn't tie it down properly. No problem, we recovered it OK the next day. I vividly remember leaping across the bergschrund. Over the years I lost a few friends to the mountains, and was happy to learn that my kids didn't jump into mountaineering.
Excellent story. Thank you for sharing
awesome
Hey man a buddy and I are seriously considering this climb, if your still on UA-cam, after 2 years of posting this comment, could I ask you a few questions about the journey? -Henry
@@henrydesmarais7238 Sure, I'm here.
Congratulations, wow what a beautiful mountain @12:02
One of my bucket list thanks bro. Congratulations 👍
congrats guys! amazing vid
congrats on an awesome summit. +great footage of the climbing and logistics
You guys made a great go at it, awesome video
Rad boys! Thanks for the video, I plan to summit in the future. 🤙
Thanks Curtis. Best of luck, it's a great mountain!
"Plan to summit" doesn't apply to Robson. It and the weather decide it for you.
@@alan4sure I have been caught in unexpected weather at high altitude in Nepal, I am well aware of how quickly conditions can change.
I’m hoping to do the president this summer, gain skills - eventually try for mount Robson (if I can conquer my fear of heights) and I ultimately want to try for the trek to Everest base camp. But I won’t actually try to climb it lol! What is the steepest section of mount robson? My husband is really into mountain climbing but I’ve been too scared to try. Something in me feels like if I can climb a mountain I can do anything 🤞
FYI the trek to Everest Base Camp is not technical at all. The elevation is the hardest part, go as soon as you can, it’s amazing :)
Sick video! Loved that you guys showed your systems in play.
beautiful
FUCK YES FELLAS!! The 4 losers who hit dislike are all fat kids with big bellies and small arms. LOOL Seeing as this face has been skied a few times, I think maybe a snowboard descent should be in order.
I'm working on my backcountry ski skills, so maybe a ski decent of the Kain face is next!!
...nice job guys!
Thanks Mark, it's a great climb!
Nice, congrats on the summit. Safe travels!
Just imagine that Conrad Kain did it before the age of front point crampons by hand cutting a few thousand steps up it
After a 3 week bushwack in and crushing Whitehorn on their rest day.
He was an Olympic calibre mountaineer. And they bivvied above 10,000 ft. "Always a lottery"
They did it the hard way. A lot of teams fly in to above the glacier
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, guys.
Thanks Alec. Glad you liked it!
Great video, way stout route, and a really strong team. Those guys are badasses.
Haha thanks Steve. We did have a strong team that worked well together, which was really critical as the route we chose (the approach specifically) was pretty rough.
Allen - where are you originally from? Lancaster, perhaps?
Yes, close to Lancaster. I grew up in Honey Brook, PA
Nice climb!..Like how you paid attention to the safety. Congrats!
You should make alpinist tutorials
Well Done! Your crew seems really great, guys are badass!
I've done this climb several times and it was really easy
Bravo!!! Bragging Rights!!! Brave, Courageous, and Bold!!!
Thanks Steven
9:04 my man brought a Leica up there. respect
Haha. Part of me says "save weight at all cost", but the other part knows that you gotta get the shot. Shout out to James for lugging that sucker up there!
@@allenstoltzfus7006 epic video, my son wants to climb this one day, he is 15, his namesake peak! Was that a digital M or film?
Nice adventure
I’m thinking of getting one of these. We’re they decent on the highway ?
A DR is descent everywhere. It's just not perfect anywhere...
Great video. I love that you showed both the scenic parts of Mount Robson but also the technical parts; when you had to rope up for shale and steep sections, ice screw placements, v threads.etc. 👌
What a great video!! 2017 was a great year!!
