I imagine anyone who searched for a video on RVing, expecting to see guys hanging out under a camper awning drinking beers, was shocked to see Tristan hanging off of a cliff! ;-) This video had awesome vistas, engaging story telling, plus loads of information on the area (and throw in some climbing techniques for good measure) . Great stuff!
Lol I've never found it very interesting to watch videos of people at camp, so... 🤷♂ 😄
Amazing video I have to admit I was stressed for you 😂. I can’t imagine how your wife feels when you go on these trips
Lol great comment!
@@wendyjo9267in my eyes he is so brave, intelligent and engaging as a teacher.
Hi Tristan, have been watching quite a few of your video's, as a new subscriber, just awesome, thanks so for the amazing views and education into safe climbing, I did some climbing in Scotland when I was younger, mostly on the Black cuillins on Skye, I think you would be in heaven there!!! Many thanks again, can't wait for the next ones, All the Best Colin uk.
You have pushed me to the edge of uneasiness with this one, Tristan! Wow, so exciting to see you accomplish your goal with ease, and again, thanks for taking us to the top of the world! Those drone shots of you on the peak are priceless.
To Cassie, we think about you every time we enjoy these dangerous climbs!
Thanks CJ! 😁
@Terry Willefert yes this was def the most anxiety inducing, but we know he didn't die because he posted the vid lol - I have no desire to replicate but watching the process is facinating. I love this channel!
Thanks for helping me "trim" my nails 🤩
Adjectives to describe this video....courageous, experienced, inspiring, breath-taking, unique
Thank you!
There are adventures…and then there is Tristan. 😱 Beautiful but holy moly.
😲🙏😳😢🙌😭😥😃🙌🙌 Well...thanks again young man!!! I am too old to overcome my fear of heights or to climb. However..after watching your incredible videos for years-I got through this climb and only got nauseous twice 👍👍 May God bless & keep you safe Tristan 🙏 Your extreme camera work & climbing skills are the only way I get to see these spectacular views while getting an adrenaline rush from the comfortable safety of my armchair. Thank you 💋
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the extra effort you go through to bring us along for the climb, in this case. I really appreciate it. You have allowed me to experience something I would never have experienced any other way, and it was thrilling!
Thanks Joyce!
Awesome! This is the first mountain I attempted to climb without any experience. I used to canoe camp, often, at Taylor Lake along the Colorado River. This mountain has a draw effect to it when one is in this landscape. This is early '70's and there were no ladders or bridges up there. I didn't make it to the top, but got a quick lesson in climbing - its always easier going up than it is climbing back down. I got to a place where I realized it might be a little dangerous going back down. I thought I might need a helicopter rescue or I could attempt getting back down. I realized I would need to be unencumbered, in any way, to make it back down from where I was, so I tossed my backpack and water over the side (never to be found) to free me up as much as possible. I made it, but your warnings to the inexperienced is not to be taken lightly! I later worked at Yosemite and gained the skills needed for such attempts, so it was a pleasure to watch you do the right things to stay safe and enjoy the climb.
OH TRISTAN TRISTAN TRISTAN!!! You had me on the verge of an anxiety 😦 attack watching this video. But, I could not stop ✋. That ladder not anchored was nail biting! Heck , the whole climb was nail biting 😳! Thank you for being safe and for the heart pounding adventure. The view was definitely out of this world beautiful!
Yes, one of your very best, Tristan. You explain and show the techniques of rope climbing in this video to a greater extent than most others I've seen. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks CB!
Had me holding my breath watching you do the climb!!! Thanks for the adventure that I could never do!
Thanks for watching!
This one had me on the edge of my seat. Yikes. Good choice of music you added as well. Your camera and drone footage is excellent. You are definitely one of THE best videographers on UA-cam...always taking the time to set up your camera in specific areas. Glad you made it up and back down safely. As always, thank you for sharing your adventures. "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Henry David Thoreau.
Thanks for the kind words! And that's a fantastic Thoreau quote 👍
I am almost 76 years old so doing this climb is definitely NOT in my future...and that makes seeing it through your camera priceless. I think I probably enjoyed it almost as much as you did. All I can say is THANK YOU, that was perfect! Now I think I am going to watch it again. Bye the way, I do not like heights so that just made this all the more great. Thanks again.
Thank you again Tristan. Your years of adventure have taught you not to be stupid, be safe & is 1 of the major reasons I continue RVing with you; 1!
THANKS!
They say ‘Don’t believe everything you hear online’ but when Tristan says don’t try this one, I’m taking his word! Wow, Wow, WOW! Great show of patience, skill and strength! Outstanding video, Tristan!
What a neat place. Very nice recording to give us a real sense of the climb. Really enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Thanks Roger!
Awesome episode! I held my breath through most of it! Thanks for the adventure! I'm a 70 year old armchair traveler, thanks to you!
That drone footage was breathtaking! That last part where you were facing the area with the tower...that landscape is beautiful. Thank you for sharing though you did risk your life to do it.
That climb was epic. My wife and I are both 85 and enjoy your videos immensely. We started watching you 3yrs ago when we built out an MB Metris into an rv in our condo garage. What you do is way beyond us now but we live vicariously through your videos.
Thank you
Lord ! Speechless. Cassie is probably like closing her eyes! It’s good you’re living your life doing what you enjoy …
"What goes up must come down", kept thinking that as you were climbing, lol. Had butterflies. It really seemed you were the last living thing there -- no trees, no animals, not even any birds! Stunning views. Awesome music. Glad you kept safety first and enjoyed this rarely climbed mountain adventure. Thanks Tristan! And to answer your question: no, I'd never.
That is one of the fun parts of this kind of adventure. You really do feel like you're the last person on earth!
I worked as a roofer and did a lot of "urban climbing' on slate roofs and steeples around the city of st. louis about fifty years ago so the heights don't really get me, but I was always worried about your free climbing in past videos. This one reassured me and I was happy to see your being sensible for once. I actually ran into a roof where I made the company owner purchase a harness and a hundred feet of rope for me to wear while on it since it was five stories over concrete on one side from the low edge of the roof and the roof was very steep. If I went over the edge I would have a catch line and work my way down or at least the fire fighters could have come and brought me down if I broke something. Free fall to death was not on my agenda in those days. Now I am so old that I am unsteady two steps up a step ladder with my balance shot, so thanks for taking us along.
Crikey! I know you’re an accomplished climber, but my heart was still in my throat! Thanks for taking one for the team! 😂 Don’t know much about climbing, so this vid was extremely fascinating (and educational) to me. The landscape was spectacular and your drone footage from the summit was simply STUNNING! Rock on, dude! (See what I did there?) 🤪 ❤
I also worried about getting down. I was very nervous for Tristan's safety
Well done Tristan. That is what you call making money and "having fun". You sure have a livelihood that offers freedom, adventure and a passionate love for the "job" afforded by few. Thanks.
You make it look so easy. That is a sign of someone that knows what they are doing!
This was absolute torture to me lol. I'm not sure why I watched it. The views, the educational bits, the wonder, and your brilliance at climbing AND filming, Tristan--I guess that's why I watched it.
My husband and I are into Himalayan mountaineering films, and this is as well-produced as any of them. In fact, it's fresher and more real and more immediate. I don't know why I'm not watching your stuff on Netflix, Amazon, or HBO.
Thank you, young man. My God, be safe.
Oh my gosh, Tristan. This was epic! I was on the edge of my seat. The view and drone shots were spectacular. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me trying it. Thanks again for taking me along on your adventures.
Thanks Denise!
It doesn’t look like you have anyplace to put your hands. You make it look so easy. Such lovely scenery.
has been the best climbing video of yours that I found, I wish there could be a playlist dedicated to climbing/roping/scrambling, that would be sweet.
I have to give kudos to your wife for knowing how dangerous some of the things you do are but trusting in your ability enough to let you live your dreams-just wanted to give her a little mention and how lucky you are to be with such a supportive person!!!
Outstanding video.! Love the spaghetti western soundtrack with the drone footage. Perfect!
Just wow!!! My palms were sweating. Thank goodness we know you are safe because we are watching the video..ha! Once again, thank you for taking us along!
Learned very basic rappelling and climbing skills as a young adult. Our instructor was very old school, so we learned the actual rope knots to use to ascend, using rope on rope only. The short rope knotted pieces would tighten when weighted and loosened when off weight. So stand, slide the upper rope up, sit and slide the lower rope up to stand again. As you explained. When we had ascended the prescribed precipice a few times with only ropes, we were allowed to use mechanical ascenders. The mechanical ascenders were so much easier, but appreciated having the knowledge of knowing how do do it with basic equipment. Nice vid!
I am so happy that I'm not your mom or wife, but extremely happy to watch your adventures from my couch! Gorgeous view! Thank you for all you do!
This particular video is both fascinating and heart-stopping for me. YOWZAH!!! I’m someone who’s happy not to see the top of this mountain in-person. Maybe that’s sad to others, but I’m perfectly happy to watch ANYONE OTHER THAN ME climb to the top of this one. I’m more of a trail hiker than a rock climber, anyway. What an amazing view from the top!!
That opening shot was epic. The overall views in this video are as incredible as any video you have done so far. I was blown away.
Wow! That was exciting. As an old rock climber, the views really got my heart pumping. Great video, amazing location and excellent skill set, I throughly enjoyed myself. Thanks for taking me along on your adventure.
Wow,that one made me sweat! I’m 77 years old and can’t climb like that anymore. Used to clime in Cochise’s Stronghold not too far from where you are, it’s over on the Arizona side. Thanks for taking me along on your climb you made it so real, I felt like I was there!
The most amazing video I've seen that I can recall. And the video footage is outstanding. You, the landscape, the geology, everything. Just, WOW!
I think this is my favorite video you've done, Tristan. It also scared the shit out of me just watching that tricky accent and those heights! Better you than me, friend! Love your informative content - I always feel like I've learned something. I also appreciate your humble nature - the kind of good peeps you enjoy running into every now and then out on the trail. My best to you.
Will Tristan you made it as this video was edited. You are alive. 2 States & Mexico. What a view!
A great choice of beautiful country, as always. I'm a hiker, not a climber, so I was interested to learn about pieces of climbing gear and their uses. I appreciate that you're careful to warn perhaps over-adventurous, under-skilled lovers of the outdoors of the risks and difficulties of some of your routes. My ambitions sometimes exceed my experience, and it's good to have a reality check. Thanks for another exploration of magnificent wild places.
Thanks for watching, Donna! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Again, thank you for letting us experience your life’s many challenges and experiences. Your ability to educate to your audience is a natural treasure. One of my favorite videos!
Definitely not for the faint of heart! Exciting climb. Amazing views of mostly raw rock and sediments 360 degree view. Wow!
You got me praying for you every time you climb something!!!
Great job. I would be scared to death. I am living vicariously through you. ❤😂❤
Thanks for watching!
Wow, what a thrilling, athletic climb. So happy to have experienced this with you. Thanks.
Thanks for tagging along! 😁
Very cool hike Tristan! Glad you were the one who hiked that peak and recorded it, I wouldn’t have made it the first 100 feet, lol…. You are courageous! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks Susan!
I had to watch it, but my hands were sweating the entire time. Not my thing. Thanks Tristan.
This was my favorite video that you've done. Love desert mountains combined with climbing. And a very cool place off the beaten trail that I would have never known about without your video. Keep up the good work and keep showing these great places that aren't well known so that I can plan future trips!
There's a line in a Jimmy Buffett song "A little gris-gris keeps you safe from harm". That song line was on a continuous loop in my head while watching this nail biter of a video. 😱🙈 You knocked it outta the park with this adventure Tristan!! 👍👏
This is yet another epic hike! I've enjoyed over the years when you include climbing in your adventures. I've been wanting to get into it, and this is the year! Thanks for sharing, and safe travels!
Picacho SRA that's little further up the road is a pay area, but it's some spectacular scenery. The rugged and colorful hills next to the water has a unique feel to it. If you're into boating, they have a ramp.
I am not a climber but was riveted this video. Outstanding in every way.
My respects to you young men. Thank you letting me be part of your adventures thru your Cámara lenes. Take good care!
This was a super adrenaline rush for me just watching you solve this puzzle. Wow! Thank you for doing this, since heights like this give me uncontrollable heart palpatations.
Who needs scary movies, just watch you climb these rocks. Great video Tristen. Thanks
Oh man! Most videos I think "well, if I get myself a vehicle with AWD and bit more clearance, I can totally visit these spots and roads". However, this one is definitely best viewed on youtube! What an insane climb! The only way I'd ever visit the top is if they build an elevator
21 👍 A very difficult climb complicated by your desire to record the adventure with a camera. Thank you for sharing this with your YouTune audience. A thriller, one of your best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tristan, I so admire you’re dedication to your audience. The work you put into doing a video is so inspiring. Hopefully the extra work didn’t temper your enjoyment of a phenomenal climb. Thank you, thank you!
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Tristan is amazing in his skills and knowledge. This one is EPIC!
Your music choice in the video was perfect. It was like I felt the gunfight was the mountain.
I’m always so close to stopping these types of videos. My HR goes up and my hands start to sweat. Thanks
This is the most amazing video. So glad you were safe. You really looked like you were enjoying yourself. Good to see that too. Beautiful views. Thanks for taking us along😊.
Tristan, I understand that your videos are not a " how to" as to climbing basics and teaching people how to climb. However, I really did enjoy this video about some of the insights, as to what the equipment is that you use and how it works. once again another amazing video From you!
What a great video! So well done. A sheer pleasure to watch from beginning to end. Tristen, your videos keep getting better and better as if they weren’t already superior!
Damn you have balls of steel my hands are sweating for you through the whole video!
If you don't call this an interactive video I don't know what is! 👍
What a complicated, rugged mountain yet you make this adventure so simple.
I’m very adventurous, and I’ve done a lot of things that some would call risky, but this particular type of activity is not in my realm of comfort at all. Good job, I love your videos.
hats off to the people that carried those materials up there!!
I sure appreciate you bringing us along. Great climb. Beautiful!
You are amazing! You had me hooked all the way up. I found myself holding my breath. Thank you for the drone shots. You really are an inspiration.
Good music for your video! You do a great job presenting your ventures. Safe traveles!
Whew, I must admit Tristan you had me scirt with that video. I love that you take us places that we would never go of our own accord. Thanks!
I did enjoy watching YOU do it, I would be dead. Thanks very much, one of your best.
Tristan, that as epic! The whole video was awesome! I especially like the part where you video'd using the ascender .. wonder how many will realize you had to do that twice just to show how it's done! Almost had vertigo on a couple of spots during your climb, but I'm getting use to your exposure now.. LOL 🤠
WOW! The opening drone footage was terrifying. Snaggly ancient and worn volcano tephra. I always how you manage the climb back down from these places. "From here it's just an easy walk to the summit." HA!
Amazing other-worldly venue. I do some small amount of climbing/hiking into the foothill section of the mountains behind my home near Alamogordo, NM. None of the climbing requires ropes as I limit my treks to amateur environs. The peace & quiet along with wonderful views make the effort worthwhile. From my back door I can safely get to elevations 2 to 3K higher than home base and back again. Keep up the great work Sir.
This was a great treacherous climb and glad you roped off so we could see your next video. Repelling is fun and amazing once you learn to trust your equipment with your life,
Wow what a climb! My stomach had butterflies it was so scary. I knew the climb went well as I was watching the finished video. However, you recorded it so well to make it seem like we were doing it with you. Glad for you that you enjoy doing climbs like this one. What an adventurous life you have. Thank you for sharing it!!!
Great to watch, well done. I'm always hoping you'll one day spot a UAP on your remote adventures and get a good video of it!
Thank-you, Tristan, for doing that so I don't have to. Honestly, I couldn't watch for the last part of it, just listened. Got to see the view from the top thought. Pretty cool how you climbed back up the rope. Cheers!
wow, Thanks for taking us along. Something, I would never have done, but definitely enjoy .
That was a Nail Biter video!! Had my stomach in knots even though I knew you made it because you put out the video. Awesome video and camera shots, as always. I look forward to seeing your videos every Saturday morning. Thanks for taking us along on your awesome adventures!
Thanks for watching!
This is the first time ive ever seen mention of anyone going to this part of california. I got lost once for 6 days about ten miles north of here climbing what we thought was Mnt Picacho. As you mentioned there are a lot of picachos nearby. I Really enjoyed watching this. your channel is amazing.
Well, the video was published so I kept reminding myself you made it back! That helped me watch the video... When I was very young heights did not bother me at all and would climb trees, cliffs etc. Then I got older and heights became scarier for me. Glad you can still do it! Thanks for taking the EXTRA effort to film the climb. Well done!
The answer to your question. No. Those little steps to the bridge looked scary! Plus that conglomerate heap is disconcerting at best! I love learning about rope systems. And as usual your aerials are gorgeous!
Since you posted it, I knew you made it okay. Be careful on those lone climbing excursions. (I know you are.) What a view from the notch! I love the way it comes into view from behind the top. Going up and down those ladders and back and forth across the ledges to retrieve your camera, has to be energy draining. But thank-you. This is my adventure for the week!
Thanks Cecelia! 😁
jeez Tristan. couldn't you come up with something that at least was a little more jazzy? I nearly fell asleep...... (smile) I've put this one on my list of "must do's" thanx for the intro to it. well done. as ever, your care with camera set up, and editing, was outstanding! Light the World!
For me going up isn't the problem, it's coming back down!
Ho. Lee. Cats!!!! That was amazing. I know nothing about climbing so it was fascinating to me to see the ascender and the Gris-gris and so on. Thank you so much for sharing this.
WOW what an adventure..... awesome, you rock Tristan...kudos to a great video!
That's one of the maddest friggin' things to climb, that was intense but you made it look like no thang at all! 🙃🤠😯😯😯
Thank you for sharing this. This is an activity that I'll never be able to do, but I enjoy watching the process and seeing the view. And thank you for so simply explaining repelling and climbing back up. I've always wondered how a person would retrieve their rope after anchoring and repelling down away from it.
As always, great way to start my Saturday by watching the newest video!
Thanks! One of the best videos we’ve seen from you thus far.
Omg! Couldn’t breathe watching you. Lol! Great video!
Ok, this one got me scared for you! Holy crap, the viewpoint changes with every different camera used. Geez! What an experience. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
14:39 “If you fall here, you will die!” Your words will keep me away from here, but others will be attracted like flies to flypaper!
What a great puzzle you gave us to watch, very enjoyable! Great stuff, keep the videos coming.
What a great route! Takes me back more than a few years....
The bridge is new! I remember that gap well - both times I climbed Picacho, had to have a belay. Always impressed with the footage you get while you're adventuring!
Tristian, at 69 I still enjoy your videos, I don’t know anything about climbing, but still can’t stop watching. Stay safe.
Thanks, Tristan , for climbing to the summit for us 😊 😮
Thanks for watching!
