  • For this week's adventure I met up with the UA-cam legend Foresty Forest and his mountain climbing dog Rocko. (My dog Kyro had to stay with grandma for this one). We aimed for Mount Harrison, the southern most 11,000 ft mountain in the Canadian Rockies. It is the tallest mountain I've tried to climb with class 2 or 3 scrambling.

    Your views and comments on UA-cam also mean the world. Cheers!

    That "trail" looked steep as hell and typically it looks less steep on video. Like so many others have already commented. Foresty Forest is physically a machine and mentally he has been doing summits for a while. I think it is safe to say I wouldn't have been able to make it any where close to where you did. Great job.

The first year I skied with them I felt I was just hanging on. As time went on things became much easier for me and I was accepted into the group as an equal. Simmon is a hammer, and he is super fit. Stay safe and live to hike another day that is what is most important. Take care.

    Very brave. I've done those things in the past and made the call to turn back for others. Leaders look after the others even when it is you yourself you are leading. It isn't losing and I think you sensed that. It is interesting to see how much you can push the body past where you think you can go. I don't like losing time healing from overextending but you can't know exactly where that is unless you push pretty hard. I spend more time on inner mountains in time now but my spirit always rises with the altitude. "Two steps and a heartbeat."

    In the mid 80s, I and 2 friends ascended that near vertical ice gully seen at 1:25 and it was a big 50 degree ice face back then, with glacier at the bottom. It's all but disappeared now. We descended this route Simon ascended. Easy way down but hours of unpleasant rubble. Still easier than downclimbing or rappelling a 400 metre high ice face.
