me and my future spouse will go to pacific northwest for sure. there i want to make the best memories with her. i was alright with going by myself but realized one must share time spent in beautiful places on earth with someone youre gonna be with for the rest of your life. i had a dream that i was in some cute small town, more of a village id say in washington. i walked until deadend of the street and the path began narrower and then i entered a small yard of a tiny old shabby home that sat on a literal rock formation now, it was high up from the ocean, but i could feel the splash of the waves on my face. the scenery is unlike anything i swear. i had another dream that probably was positioned on coast of oregon somewhere. these 2 dreams ignited a spark in me to chase after a goal of living out the experience i had in my dream when visiting pacific northwest. the initial dream was a kicker though... prior to these dreams ive never seen or heard of the pacific northwest. but when i started googling the places of my dream they hit home and i cant let go. im in a wanderlust. anyway, ill make it happen, ill travel to pacific northwest with my girl.
one day.
Sounds like beautiful dreams to follow. Keep in mind, the reality of these beautiful places is that it rains a lot, and can be pretty bone chilling cold in winter. Also, when the bills come in, you need a job somewhere nearby.
@@wildrosecece thanks for a heads up!
I recognize the Doobie Brother song from my teenage years - it is beautiful.
thats my bestie!!!! this is so wholesome 💕
Let’s goooo! What incredible footage and incredible people 😍
Wow. That's amazing
AMAZING! Seriously gorgeous and incredible footage. Well done!
Great video! I've been looking to do this for a while and it was great too see a boots on the ground veiw of the path! Do you have any advise how to find other people to climb with? I want to do a winter summit but it wouldnt be smart to do my first winter climb alone.
Thanks! I wouldn't recommend doing it alone for your first time - I was lucky enough to have friends who were down to climb it, but you could also look for folks on Strava, AllTrails comment sections, FB groups, etc. You could also ask some of the rental shops around (UVU Outdoor Adventure Center, BYU Outdoors Unlimited, The Quarry (in Provo)). Good luck, be safe!
Can this be done in the summer once the snow melts? Or is the rocky ridge too unstable to climb?
Hi! It can definitely be done - I just climbed it this last summer. Getting up the step isn't too bad, as there are routes to either side that are pretty navigable. If I were to do it again, I would go in fall or early spring, as the bushwhacking near the bottom is pretty difficult/annoying to navigate. If you've got good gaiters or don't mind brambles, summer is a great time to go - just start early to beat the heat!
What's the best advice to get up "the step"? My friends wanna do it this Sunday, and I've been watching avalanche conditions. Thanks
Hey Andrew! I don't have tons of experience with this route, but it might be worth looking into traversing to the or left to see if there are easier routes up. Be safe, have fun!
I wanna do this one so bad!
Too much adrenaline !!
How much experience would one need to do this?
From a safety/gear standpoint: I would certainly go in with some avalanche awareness (and knowledge of how to use your avalanche kit), as well as some practice with ice axe self arrests/crampon hiking. From a pure stamina standpoint: Anyone can do just about anything, given enough time - if you are in shape enough to hike Timp in the summer, you will be in shape to climb it in the winter. Be safe, let me know how it goes!
Thank you! For the descent did you glissade or just follow your path down and what is the descent like near the top?
@@tannersmith9630 A little bit of both! Hiked probably 1/3 down, then glissaded the rest
This video is amazing, thank you!
Doing this this winter for sure! What ice axe and crampons would you recommend for this hike? Also would it be safe to start the hike more around 4 in the morning instead of midnight?
Totally do it! I bought a 'Raven' (Black Diamond) Ice Axe (new ~$60 or rent for $5). I got my mountaineering boots and crampons from Mountainworks in Provo for about $35. Not sure what brands/models they carry, but they have a small selection to choose from. Definitely start later if you feel like you can set a good pace up the mountain - we had some known injuries in the group that we had to plan extra time for. Just make sure you aren't on the top of the mountain when the sun starts to soften the snow. It's such a fun adventure - have a blast!
Куда пропал, Алекс??
Thanks for the vid & rental info! 🤙
Выглядит очень круто! Горы захватывают дух!
