    People have asked over and over and over what Blake's up to and how he's doing. Do us the courtesy of letting us know.
    EDIT: Saw below that he has a knee injury. I know all us fans of the channel wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back soon. Please send him our best wishes.

As soon as this virus freakout is over I will go somewhere and try to get that knee repaired. So far I have had 8 knee operations. Take a tip for an old ski bum. Protect those knees!

    I absolutely adore these videos. Keep thinking, though, how is it possible that you guys are magnitudes more accomplished and better than me, yet I have been to so many more of the greater ranges (Andes, Himalayas) like you. I figured, since I only get to go on an adventure every few years, it really have to count. Nevertheless I'd love to see a bunch of videos from you from the Cordillera Blanca/Huayhuash or really from any exotic locations.

    Hey! I have a suggestion for some future adventures! In southern Cali, there is a mount called San Gorgonio Mountain (11,500 ft tall) that seems really fun and tough to climb. There are multiple routes up the mountain, the most popular one being the Vivian creek trail. It’s 17.5 miles out and back and it is mainly just trail, but in the winter there is some good mountaineering sections. Another route in Southern Cali is Mount San Antonio otherwise known as Mount Baldy (10,064 ft tall) via The devils backbone. It’s a 14 mile trail out and back and in the winter it can get pretty extreme. Both really fun mountains that have a lot of potential for some good adventures. Thanks for reading! I hope these are interesting. (All the trail data is available on AllTrails.)
