Climbing Guye Peak via East Couloir
Tried out climbing steep snow by climbing Guye Peak via the East Couloir (aka Southeast Gully).
Snow conditions were very variable. Anything under trees was slick and frozen hard, shady spots still had 4-6" of soft snow. I brought up my splitboard on the ascent and enjoyed a few turns on the way down, especially coming down from Cave Ridge, but ended up carrying it down most of the way as a lot of the snow was tracked out and frozen hard.

Introductory Peak Bagging - Lake Ingalls loop
Переглядів 2992 місяці тому
Took my two boys on a backpacking and peak bagging adventure around Lake Ingalls. We've been to the lake several times and have always wanted to go backpacking here. On the way in we went up to Longs Pass and then traversed the ridge from there to Ingalls Pass, climbing Point 6878 (aka Not Hinkhouse Peak - www.summitpost.org/point-6878-not-hinkhouse-peak/223195 ). The Point 6878 to Ingalls Pass...
Climbing Liberty Bell via Beckey Route

We climbed this on September 9th. Drove in with lots of smoke and camped right by the Blue Lake parking lot. Woke up to clear skies and no smoke. Climb was fun with fantastic views. We planned to climb more but after shenanigans on the rappel decided to have a chill lunch and check out Blue Lake.

North Cascades NP has quickly become one of my favorite places in Washington, but Cascade Road was closed for most of the summer because of rock slides Cascade Road was closed most of the summer because of rock slides, and then because of a fire.

We had a group of 7 scouts and 3 adults on a Philmont Trek in late June/early July of 2024. This is all the highlights of our trip. The girls troop also sent a crew, the Backpacking Barbies, so we stole that theme and went with Kamping Kens. See my writeup of the trip at www.reddit.com/r/philmont/comments/1ge7w5y/july_trek_video/

The actual climb was pretty...
Spicy scrambling on a family camping trip - Melakwa Lake and Kaleetan Peak
Переглядів 3673 місяці тому
Forced the family to go backpacking at the end of July and did some fun scrambling on a day hike to Kaleetan Peak. We started from the Franklin Falls trailhead, the whole area has been redone so there's now a giant parking lot that serves both Franklin Falls and Denny Creek hikes, which is a short walk to the actual Denny Creek trailhead. Started hiking around 5:15pm and made good time, got to ...
Double Header: Climbing Mt Hood and Crater Rock

We climbed Mt Hood via Old Chute / 1 O'Clock Couloiron May 31st, 2024. Weather window looked great, but snow was frozen solid. I had a ton of problems skinning from the parking lot and had to put on crampons almost immediately. We followed a groomed track that started out steep and never really let up. That ended at the top of the Palmer chair lift, where I transitioned to booting, and we all p...

A scout backpacking trip to one of my favorite places with easy scrambling, fantastic peaks, an alpine lake, and all within a 2-hour drive of Seattle. We arrived at the parking lot at about 8:30am on a Saturday morning to find that lots of other people had the same idea. Parking lot was full and cars were jammed into every available spot for a while. There's a pretty rough spot in the road abou...
Mt Shuksan - solo climbing the Southeast Rib
Переглядів 9885 місяців тому
We did a car-to-car summit of Mt Shuksan on August 2nd via the Sulphide Glacier route. The Southeast Rib route sounded pretty easy, and we were lazy, so left our dynamic rope behind and just brought a 6mm hyperstatic line (Mammut Glacier cord) which worked great for glacier travel and rappelling down. By the time we got to the notch in the ridge there were two large rope teams ahead of us and s...
Summiting Mount Rainer with my 15-year-old son - Emmons Glacier Route
Переглядів 1,5 тис.6 місяців тому
After a spring full of training hikes and a 12-day backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch at 8,000-12,000 ft elevation, I thought Andrew would be in a good enough shape to join an already planned Mt Rainier summit attempt, so I invited him to come up to basecamp and the summit if he felt up to it. The trek up to Camp Schurman is 6 miles and 5000 ft, with a 2k chunk of the latter half almost s...
Splitboarding Eldorado Peak

The knife-edge summit, the fantastic views, and the great skiing down the East Ridge and the glacier, versus the 7000 feet of elevation, the always shifting creek crossing, the never-ending boulder field, the rotten snow after the waterfalls, and the treacherous climb down to the glacier. We climbed Eldorado Peak on June 11th - 12th. The rest of the crew didn't want to camp, so I drove up the d...
Splitboarding Camp Muir in a whiteout
Переглядів 718 місяців тому
Took Andrew up to Camp Muir for his first time in the worst conditions I've experienced. Mostly white out with really strong winds starting after Panorama Point. Shelter had a bunch of climbers prepping for a summit the next morning, so we took a long lunch break before heading back down. Snowboarding down was disorienting with the very low visibility so GPS is mandatory. Lots of stops to check...
In over our heads - Split boarding Pineapple Pass

For our second tour, we decided to try something a little bit harder, and Pineapple Pass was listed as a moderate. The trip ended up being significantly harder than expected. Part of that was equipment: I forgot my poles, and Glen didn't have his ski crampons yet. We also need better technique: our kick turns did not go very well and there were several times where I was on the edge of sliding d...

Amazing work gentlemen! A ton of effort involved but you did. No small feat to something to be proud of. Look forward to more adventures!
where is this?
@@jalanG10 Snoqualmie Pass in Washington State.
Great job and excellent video! Been wanting to do either this route or the North Ridge of Forbidden for a while, and even more after watching this. I'll get there someday!
I really want to do North Ridge at some point, such good climbing.
Hey! A climbing channel with people who share the same climbing ability as me! THANK YOU! Keep posting! subscribed!
@12:48 please consider extending your rappel and adding a 3rd hand for safety
Normally, I would agree, but in this case, I had already done the first rappel (with extension and 3rd hand) and was holding on to the rope to do a fireman's belay. This was also his first outside rappel so we kept it simple.
@@daniilmag Amazing place for a first rappel! We will tackle SE Rib next July. Cheers.
Great!
Might as well ditch it entirely if your wearing a bicycle helmet, the likelihood of a small rock being kicked down and making its way into one of those long air slots isn’t likely, but is why real climbing helmets don’t have them. Respect on not flying in the wilderness bro.
@@samrichardson2641 yeah, i figured a bike helmet was better than nothing, main concern wasn't rockfall as we generally stayed on top of the ridges. I did end up getting another helmet for the next adventure 😁
Thanks for sharing. Man pitch two had a pretty staunch start.
Yeah, alpine offwidths always feel harder than the rating for me. Wearing a backpack also didn't help :D
I had to back off the second pitch at the start because my partner started gagging from the altitude... But then it started snowing so we had an official excuse. 😂
@@davel759 Ha, always good to have an excuse 😁 Just like us bailing on climbing the 5.9 on the his trip after the rappelling shenanigans.
Thank you for sharing your video! I had to subscribe to your channel. I became the 119th friend. Have a great day my friend ~❤
it is beautiful up there... once saw a meteor hit up there at night... crazy big flash ...right by us !!!
@@billphipps453 woah, sounds awesome
you don't need to carry your whole pack when you're scrambling peaks...
@@billphipps453 Heh, you do if the peak is on the way to the campsite. We didn't want to take the easy trail in and then have to backtrack.
View clear images - what camera.
@@ericgould3292 Just a GoPro Hero 11, nothing fancy. Drone shots were with a DJI Mini3 Pro.
I love the look of the Liberty Bell from the road. Cycling through the North Cascades is one of my favorite things to do. I didn’t realize there was such a nice trail to the mountain. Impressive climbing and thanks for posting.
Looks like an amazing trip, the boys are having a great time. What a great dad!
yea that's my dad and its all fun till you realize I'm a vr youtuber
Nice! its a 5.6?
Great editing! This climb looks really fun.
Great video, quite the adventure! Looking forward to seeing this video again at the Banff Film Festival!
ha, I wish
The breathtaking beauty of the scenery!
This is an excellent video Daniil! Looking at doing Del Campo and I know there's a lot of exposure but the holds look pretty bomber from what I can see.
Awesome! Chair Peak has my favorite summit views in the pass!
Yeah, it's incredible how many fantastic peaks there are around Snoqualmie Pass
Thanks so much for sharing!!! I recognize SO many of these locations! Definitely showing this to my daughter tonight as inspiration for her to get prepared. :D
Nice to see you guys! Great experience! The beautiful nature!
Wonderful adventure 😮
Amazing adventure with the family, intrepid explorers!
Hi Daniil, Thank you so much for the beautiful video! It is so amazing nature!
Looks amazing.. I'm happy to be watching this from the comfort of my home office though, rather than actually going up :)
Mob scene up in there. Nice video though. 😊
yeah, I was shocked by how many people were up there and lots of them not very comfortable with crampons. But I guess that's what happens when it's so close to Portland.
This is so cool, reminds me of my pops, rest easy old man. Thanks for the video. 🎉
Great, but doesn't look like solo
Probably misleading terminology, when I say solo, I mean free solo, climbing 5th class terrain without any protection, not climbing it alone/without anyone else around.
Nice video, thanks! Brings back memories of my C2C in '87. We were earlier in the year, had snow in the gully almost to the ridge and were happy to have our axes but did not need crampons. We stashed our rope and rack and went Class 4 from the notch to the summit. Yeah, lots of exposure but pretty easy going and really fun. I don't remember exactly how long we took but I think 14-15 hours, all in daylight. We did not see another party all day. We soloed the descent too (no rapelling) and yes, the descent from Boston Basin to the road is arduous. A true classic, indeed.
I know people solo the west ridge, but I'm not yet comfortable doing that yet, especially with approach shoes. I generally picked the more interesting line instead of trying for the easiest. Now I just need to come back and do the North Ridge at some point, but that definitely requires camping, and thus a permit.
He's lucky, props to you both!
Dad you will always remember this trip. Great content 👌
Awesome video! But that mediocre amateur music got me 😆
Awesome video. Gives very good idea of the scramble
When leaving the parking lot, head LEFT as you're facing the river. There are nice logs to cross starting AFTER the bridge/culvert.
But then you miss out on all the awesome bushwhacking, thorns, and other creeks to cross :D
That is really cool!
Awesomeness! Thank you for sharing.
I went there on Thursday(4/11/24), saw my kid sticker is still there, she is so excited. Nice drone view. My only feedback is background sound is too loud and make my heart uncomfortable so I mute it. Maybe put more gentle sound, or give narrative, that would be great.
Wow😮
Such a rad adventure, those view were so epic!
At what time did you start and what month will you be suggesting doing this hike ?
We did this at the start of July and it was mostly snow free, but we did have a low snow year that summer. Depending on your comfort level, it's doable earlier but would involve snow travel and might require microspikes or crampons. I would monitor WTA trip reports for this area to see what snow conditions are like. We left the parking lot on Sunday at 4:30pm and found our campsite at Foggy lake at about 9:30pm. Then in the morning, we left at about 7am, summitted Del Campo at 9am, Gothic Peak at 11:30am, back at camp at 12:30, half an hour to pack up, then about 2.5 hours to get back to the parking lot. We had lots of backpacking gear so I'm sure its possible to do this much faster, especially if you're day hiking.
Great job guys!
We named our dog Sahale after this glacier! Awesome video.
Thanks for leaving out what range this is in I'll guess California Sierras.
Ha, nope. North Cascades National Park in Washington state.
Holy, that’s a lot of people. Way more than summer with the 100/day limit.
Looks like a fabulous day to be in the mountains.
Nice video ! which camera did you use?
GoPro11 for the handheld footage, DJI Mini3 Pro for the drone shots. I used to use a real camera (mirrorless) with a gimbal but that's pretty heavy combination, and I actually get better stabilization from the GoPro. Although the low light performance is not nearly as good and all the footage is wide angle.
Pretty incredible fellas. Not for me.
Can you please tell me what is the gear I need to rock climb this mountain? Can you please be detailed as possible, I need a rope and what else?
How much experience do you have with climbing? I would recommend knowing how to place trad pieces as there's no fixed anchors on this route. Also, practice general alpine climbing on sport routes. There's several around here that feel like alpine but are all bolted like Tooth Fairy at Snoqualmie Pass (ua-cam.com/video/d-W99CNqVcw/v-deo.htmlsi=A_-OuCtEbuyKM4Si) or Mile High Club out by Vesper Peak (ua-cam.com/video/GKRKYscDweM/v-deo.htmlsi=6M7CAXFaa3_ynnsX) We had 8 cams, .3 - #2 with doubles in #2, #1, and .75, 8 alpine draws, 4 extra slings (couple of quads) and some extra 6mm cord. Each of us also had a rappel/belay device and some prusiks for backups when rappelling. If I was doing this again, I would bring my set of offset nuts as there were a lot of places to put those. In early season you'll also need glacier travel gear. For rope, we had a 70m 8.5mm Beal rope which worked really well for the rappels as it let us get to lower spots than we could have with just a 60m rope.
This is incredible! What a climb! Count me as a new sub.
