Diamond Peak Summit, Oregon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 гру 2019
- In this video I show the process of summiting Diamond Peak. This is an 8700ft peak with roughly a 12 mile round trip. The best time to go is in the Fall when there is little snow coverage. This is an easier mountain to summit with only a tiny bit of scrambling at the top. I think this is very similar to South Sister in difficulty, other than the final ridge. The video was recorded in late October 2019. Drones are not allowed in wilderness, I flew mine above my car where it is allowed.

Your Amazing Matt and Annee and Husky . Thanks I changed my mind .. not going next time , but THANK YOU all for taking me up !! xoxo
You are the greatest. Glad I could keep you safe!
Just beautiful mountain country.
Yep! I love it there.
So much beauty!!! I can see why the call it Diamond Rock!!! Thanks for sharing your hike with us, I'm always amazed at Oregon beauty😍 👍😄
Thanks Pam. Beautiful like a diamond, sharp too, I scraped my shin.
Nice, that ridge looks a little scary.
Agreed. Though it felt familiar. I had just done a ridge like it at Matterhorn a few months before.
Nice views. Great film quality.
Thanks!
wow sounded like you were working hard this mountain looks pretty the name is cool amazing vid
:)
Thanks so much Tim. I did notice when going through footage I could hear the heartbeat.
💣BOOM💥 beautiful brother!
I truly enjoyed the way you put this all together. Also let me take a minute to wish you and your family a very happy holiday season💪🤠👍
Thanks Dr Yankee happy holidays!
Today also nice video. Thanks for sharing it.good friend .Happy new year!
Thanks!
Dude! I look at this lake every summer from Spring Campground on Crescent Lake. Good job! Cheers!
Niiice. Another Oregon channel? Howd ya find me?
@@MattCookOregon I found you today on Pusa's Livestream. Hope to see you two out there someday. Cheers!
Awesome to see an Oregonian from there. Keep in touch I will check out some videos later.
Very nice video Matt I have passed there on the PCT but never summited it looks amazing thanks for sharing!
Thank you mr PNW. Thought you were familiar on insta lol.
Another great video full of good information!!!
You the man. Where are some good places for me to cover near Mt Hood?
Such a fun mountain! I did it in June or July with tons of snow, and mostly off train. Was still epic
Nice. Where did you park? Seems most my roads there are still covered in snow.
@@MattCookOregon I had to ask my friend since he drove! We started at Corrigan lake trailhead, and I remember the date was June 21st, the summer solstice 😎 the sun set at like 9pm
@@stefancogurik166 Very cool thanks. Will have to try that. Corrigan is near the Rockpile trail I did but usually I get stopped by snow in June.
Very nice presentation, your work is appreciated and enjoyable. Keep em’ coming!
Thanks Posse! Any good peaks planned this year?
You know it!
Great video! Very informative. I've gotta climb this peak sometime.
You gotta! Not that hard, a bit dangerous with the steep cliffs on each side. I think it is very similar to South Sister which is very popular.
Nice summit... excellent views!😀
Thank you!
hiking up this mountain in a couple days! this looks so fun!
Niiice. Good luck. Water is hard to find close to mountain. This video was a couple months later in the year so maybe more snow now.
I really appreciate how thorough this video was. Thanks and great job on the beautiful hike!
Thank you! Thorough is definitely what I am going for with these.
I just came across your videos tonight and I really like them and enjoy them! Thanks for taking the videos and putting it here for the rest of us to see. Stay safe and keep filming!
Awesome, glad you enjoyed. Though they are a ton of work, making videos is a relaxing thing for me. Next big mountain video should be Mt Hood. I do take requests and ideas if you have any.
so stunning mountain you made into the top wow wow i so love it
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. I have quite a few videos going up some of Oregons coolest mountains.
That view from the summit is something else! Love that area!
Thanks man. It is something. With all the new wilderness restrictions up north this year, Diamond will be a good place to have.
That looks like a nice hike, and I'm really loving the 60fps footage
Ah glad someone noticed! Was a great hike and we didn't see anyone other than 3 people near the summit.
Great looking hike!
It is a nice area. Very empty since people would rather go to sisters mostly.
also today is a good day to climb tom dicky and harry mountain cause its not cloudy!
and the views will be amazing
Nice. Oh man I am not getting out at all lately. Got some big things going on and trying to finish this Newberry Volcano movie.
Awesome dude!
Thanks David!
This is an Awesome video! Great Storytelling, love how you used the maps to show the trail. Need to add this to my bucket list of Peaks to climb. Great Video!
Thanks! Big fan of maps. I use a lot of different kinds and have fun with that part.
Beautiful view man you and your wife sure put up that tent fast lol
Or maybe we took 4 hours and just sped it up haha. That tent is interesting. It is a 4 season winter tent. Actually very heavy, but because of the weight I saved like 500$.
Great summit hike.Views were awesome👍Thanks for the share Matt.I use telescoping trekking poles when I am summitingb that way if I get into the Rocky areas I can stash them easily in my backpack.
Thanks Brooke. I have never got into poles yet. I guess cause I always have a camera in my hand haha. Seems like it would help the body not get worn down in a few ways though.
Loved this video super informative. Bummer that there is no drones allowed, the ridge walk would have been epic. Also, i already said this before but i love your music choice. Breath of the wild is my favorite game of all time. The sound track is super fitting for such an awesome video.
Nice. I am a big fan as well. They need to come out with BOTW 2 before I run out of music haha.
@@OregonMikeH And F you too for being an ass*. Drones aren't allowed in the wilderness for a reason. They disturb other people, disturb wildlife, and if they crash, can pollute toxic battery chemicals into the ground. I'll gladly report anyone to the USFS for violating wilderness regulations, which are in place to preserve the wilderness experience for other wilderness hikers and explorers. Do that, and I wouldn't be surprised if other hikers tell you to bring that drone down into your face. If you fly it in a wilderness disturbing others' experience, you are a real ass*.
Great video - beautiful area and lots of good info. The skies and colors are perfect! I would probably wait with your wife and dog, before reaching the ridge😊 but I love seeing the view from the summit! New friend and subscriber from Washington 🥾🥾
Aha! Thanks for checking out the channel, neighbor. Any good Mt Adams area content? i want to check out that area.
@@MattCookOregon I don’t have any but I can recommend the “Hike Yakima Washington” channel- they did a hike to summit Mt Adams, I think within the last year! Glad to meet you 😊
its a dormant volcano also
They all are!
Assume, On Top Of The World!
Wow, the Horizon Looks Very Horizontal, "Almost" as if the earth is flat?
Well it is flat. Otherwise we would just be rolling all the time.
😎
This was okay I guess but next time try keeping the camera pointed at your face instead of showing so much epic scenery and, you know, insightful looks at the terrain. 😂😂
Seriously though, truly beautiful film, a pleasure to watch even for those of us who probably won’t summit Diamond Peak.
Thanks my friend. 2020 I will have a selfie stick glued to my hand!
@@MattCookOregon Looking forward to Matt Cook vlogging in the grocery store... buying coffee... doing laundry... the possibilities are endless!
nice job 61 likes no dislikes and also over 1000 views i wonder what your next video is gonna be take your time dont rush i recommend mount washington
Thanks! Lots of ideas in the works. Just not sure which comes first.
Looks scary. What if it blows up while you are on it?
Rare but that is a risk we all take!
this is the mountain that accidentally confused length>width for length
Yep. Classic shield volcano behavior.
Is the music from BoTW???
That is correct. Perfect exploring music. Great to edit with all the blank space.
@@MattCookOregon Agreed, very fitting! I have a friend visiting soon and these videos have been very helpful in creating an itinerary.
Awesome let me know if I can help. Most the mountains I covered are still snowy so that will be different.
I take hiking poles with me you don't use them would they be helpful 🤔
Many people love trekking poles. I think it would be healthy for posture and things. However I often need my hands free for cameras and stuff.
My knees began to hurt watching final ridge ascent and
I've found downhill hiking is not much easier. Summits do
not interest me. I'd walk up for cave discovery. Below any
high rock collapse zone talus caves may exist. Also keep
an eye open for lava tubes or other cave discovery hopes.
Best done to escape summer heat and maybe find water.
I got one you might like. I went to the top of Matterhorn in eastern Oregon. Right at the top there is this huge hole! Cave, not sure how far down it goes. But theres metal bolts at the top.
It's an amazing documentary 😊

Subs return is very much appreciated
