one of your best
Absolutely agree, appreciate your comment
Excellent footage of another Colorado gem, that whole area on both sides of the divide is wonderful. I've never been up to Crater Lake/Lone Eagle Peak before so I REALLY enjoyed this.
Mark, you are so right, this is a magical area, absolutely gorgeous! Thank you, Karl
Everything out west is so much cooler than what’s in Ohio lol, nice video
Thanks man appreciate it 👍
Thanks for the footage Karl! Incredible views on the way up to the summit and at the ridge. Not sure I'll want to summit after seeing this from your POV lol.
You're welcome! It was spectacular, and yes, got a bit dicey on the ascent, thanks for the comment. The Indian Peaks Wilderness area is so amazing!
Great shot of Peck and Fair glaciers.
And so much more, this is one of my favorite places in Colorado although, if you check out a few other videos, especially the newer ones, you’ll know I’ve got a lot of favorite places, lol!
@@KarlDeckerPresents me too. Colorado born and raised. I’ve backpacked all over the front range. Been to just about every corner of the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. I used to live I Grand county. Now this is back in the 1980’sand early 90’s. I had to buy a permit that looked like a concert ticket. My most memorable hike was up Hells Canyon and all those house size boulders I had to scramble through. Also 1900 feet of elevation gain in under 2 miles as I recall. But the lakes on top were well worth it. I was an avid fishermen in those days. Crater lake is teaming with nice sized brook trout.
I’ve done the same fishing and exploring all over the Rawah and Mt Zirkel wilderness areas.
No GoPro, no digital just 35mm or even 110 cameras with SLR in those days. Many trips I went alone for 4-5 days. Other trips with friends. Have you ever been to Big rainbow lake or round mountain north of steamboat?
August 2020 my high school friend and I fished at Lake Evelyn in the Byers peak wilderness area. The day after we left there was a human caused fire that shut the whole area down.
My friend died in October 2020 of the WU FLU at 67. I have a video of us fishing on my channel.
Here is commentary by my late friend of us fishing on the Colorado in Grand County:

@@BIGLOVE4TRUTH we are the lucky ones. I did spend 7 summers around Steamboat at a summer camp when I was a kid. Loved fly fishing in those days. Now rock climbing and making videos is my thing. Sorry to hear about your buddy. That was a nice fish! I’ll have to look up Hells canyon. That sounds interesting. Take care my friend.
@@KarlDeckerPresents you produce terrific videos. I only did some minor top - rope climbing around Boulder when I was younger. Another group of us went to crater lake in August 1985 and woke up to snow. Hells canyon is extremely difficult. I had at least 60 lbs of gear in my backpack. The scree and boulder field is steep and dangerous. But as I said the alpine lakes on top are breathtaking. That trip I went down the easier trail to lake Granby. I remember immediately stripping down and going for a swim. I never did that at crater lake though😳. Round mountain lake is over buffalo pass near steamboat and offers no technical climbing, and has a field of columbine flowers and all the brook trout you can eat. Moderate hiking and below timberline. Big rainbow lake trailhead runs west of Walden, CO. Pretty easy hike to the base of Mt Zirkel and that lake is pretty big with, you guessed it, big rainbow trout.
This is awesome and informative. Thanks for the time and energy you spent putting this together.
One of my favorite adventures for sure, appreciate the kind words!
Damn that was BAD ASS
Thanks man, that knife edge ridge caught me off guard and I was pretty nervous, such huge double sided exposure and a sketchy down climb for it but. . . check out the little bear traverse video, OMG was the exposed. Really most all of my trips are pretty intense, that one was a bit more chill because I had sprained my ankle the week before and was taking my daughter and her friend along. . .it did nit disappoint! Happy mountaineering brother!
one of my favorite places on earth.
Amen
Absolutely amazing!
It really was, the flowers, lakes and peaks! Definitely paid the price of admission doing the substantial hike in. . . Well worth it though.
Great hike and footage! My palms got a little sweaty watching you on the knife edge!
Thanks 🙏! You ain't the only one, that was a very stressful situation trust me!
The image at 21:10...takes me to another place. Awesome Karl!! Thanks brother
Thanks 👍
Dope video and climb bro. This place is on my bucket list to camp. That alpen glow on the tip near the end was sick too.
Thanks Dave! Definitely a worthy bucket lister! One of the coolest gifts of making these videos has been the little push to take a second look seeing so many more amazing things.
this was such and awesome video. I'm trying to get my kid to do this this summer. I think she'll stay at camp and watch me summit........ :(
Thanks Frank, may be best to leave her down there, the climbing gets very exposed and class 4 plus she'll enjoy exploring around the lake, it is just spectacular! You're going to love it just make sure to stay low traversing to the summit, when I got too high and hit the ridge too early it was very intense, I rock climb hard and often. Please come see some of my newer videos if you want to see some more thrilling ascents like this, you will not be disappointed. Cheers!
When I heard you say “hairy down climbs” I was on the edge of my seat! That didn’t look friendly for awhile there! Great job. Beautiful locations, soundtrack, and cinematography. Thanks for taking us there. You’re one in a million Karl. 👍🏻🏅🏅🏅
Hey mister! That place is one of the most scenic locations in CO. I had to reserve camping there and was so happy to bring my daughter and her fiend along. That last bit of climb got double crazy. The mountain goat I met was a Beast and he gave me the look of death,lol, then I got lost close to the summit. I was pretty scared doing that selfie on the knife edge ridge! The summit itself was a big relief. I am just finishing a new video, a couple weeks from premiere, doing a free solo rock climb with some cool camera angles and a 50m rappel. Hope all is well with you and your brother, do you have the wife and kids?
11:48 Huge balls! Huge.
Ha, didn't intend to get into that situation, but sometimes it happens and you have to deal with it!
great job man!! definitely plan to climb this one!
Thanks brother, it’s a Huge day without camping; hopefully the beta will save you some energy. I’m hoping to find a partner for Blitzen ridge 5.4. Check it on mountain project. Have camping permits! Could be an awesome collaboration video?
@@KarlDeckerPresents I will look into it, pretty soon I will have mondays and tuesdays off again
The ninja on the mountains that would be sweet, I do have light weight climbing rope for us as well. I have done the climb before without ropes. Will get some epic shots with two guys. If you wanted to do some rope climbing with me in the Golden area first I’d be happy to show you what kind of Climber I am.
@@KarlDeckerPresents for sure, I love clear creek
@@KarlDeckerPresents just looked up that blitzen ridge looks like a lot of fun
The standard rout is from the back along the knife edge . The fun rout is the direct central face to the point . Did it this way in Aug 69 trad w/ mountaineering boots ( sticky rock shoes didn't exist ).
Only 5.8
Nice, thanks for the story!
Headed for a 4 day trip this next week - I’m bringing snowshoes and spikes but I’m hoping I can get by without it! I’ll make it to the lake with certainty, but I might have to observe the peak from the base based on conditions.
Do you know if there’s a map of the dispersed camp spots? I know there’s 12 spots based off other videos, but have yet to see a map.
Great video and cinematography - also my first comment on any UA-cam video! Well done my Friend!
Man, be careful, the forecast is for up to around 15" of snow up there for Fri-Sat! I do think there is a map somewhere, I'd call the ranger station, I think they sent me one when I got the permit to camp there, it was almost 2 years ago. . . Big thanks Jacob! Please come check out some of the other videos, honestly, this video came out great for how old it is but, my skills have really grown over the last year, there are dozens of really amazing ones, I think the coolest are places I can fly the drone and really show the summits in all their glory! Don't be a stranger!
This place brings back good memories. I was working with the USFS to cut down hazard trees around Crater Lake. A dream of mine was to summit Lone Eagle Peak and you have inspired me to try it this upcoming weekend if the weather permits it. Do you have any tips? I’m decently experienced with this type of stuff. Also would it be possible to send me a map with the route you used? That would help a lot and would appreciate it. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment brother, I've been in the process of moving and can't get to everything I'd like to in a timely manner. Please be extremely cautious with weather this time of year, thanks again 👍
@@KarlDeckerPresents Yeah, if it’s not doable I’ll just turn back, no peak is more important than life. There is always next year. When you get to Mirror Lake, do you go left or turn left towards Triangle Lake at Crater Lake itself?
@@uwefbu3br8934je the turn off is at Crater lake. There’s a good shot of it near the end of the video. Definitely check it out. It will save you lots of energy.
@@KarlDeckerPresents Sounds good, thanks brother!
Great video. What camera are you using?
A go pro and for the fancy stuff a Panasonic G 85.
This is on my list for June. I think in on a Friday camp Friday and out on Saturday, but will get a pass for two nights just in case. Do you purify your water?
I always do just in case, definitely mountain goats up stream. . .I use a Sawyer filter, small cheap and light. Could be some snow but doubtfully an issue. It's going to be Awesome!
@@KarlDeckerPresents I got a pass last night. I was wanting late June but had to settle for 6/10. Looks like I’ll take ice spikes with me
Quick crater lake camping question: I have an overnight permit coming up. Are tent pitches assigned ahead of the date or is it first-come-first-served and you just take whichever site you fancy? Cheers 👍👍
I don’t recall, that was a couple years ago,so, that likely means it was first come first serve.
Wide angle lense distorts distance tremendously .
Safest way to solo film class 4+.
Just yikes.
Yeah it got pretty sketch up there! Gorgeous trip though!
