Similar to a another comment you got... ive been up Longs 6 times and didnt realize that route existed. That was really cool!! Your vids are appreciated!! Keep up the great work!!
Last year even up to Frozen Green and Blue lakes, I was super tired and you are hiking above to Pagoda and still you not stopped there and hiked all the way to Longs: OMG, while watching this video, I was very nervous. Thanks for sharing such an incredible video. Liked it!!!!
If this doesn't get you some subscribers I don't know what will. This is one of the best mountain hiking videos I've seen, period. I watch a lot of RMNP videos. I've seen only one good video of the climb up Pagada Mountain from the Glacier Gorge side (it's by Nick Sangetta). And I know of zero videos showing the whole traverse from Pagoda to Longs. (I saw one video of two guys who bailed partway there because they couldn't find a passable route, and that's it.) And your video is in stunning 4k 60fps, and has really cool, rare views from Pagoda of the part of the keyhole route between the Keyboard of the Winds and the Long's summit. (Also, this shot at 10:37 of you on a very treacherous spot of the traverse with a marmot staring at you is hilarious. I'm worried you're gonna die and there's the marmot looking for a snack.)
Thanks so much for the kind words, that means a lot! That marmot actually forced me to take a slightly harder line up--we had accidentally cornered each other on one of these tight ledges and I was worried if I got any closer he would lash out. One of the more stressful spots I've been at in the mountains
