    I'll be recording a Q&A video this next week and posting it in a few weeks. If you've got a question you've been dying to ask me, here's your chance! (For reference, the last Q&A video I did was nearly 6 years ago 😄) Reply to THIS comment with your question, and I'll try to answer it in the video. -Tristan

      Any archive footage of a mini-Tristan trekking about in pre SUV RVing days? I bet there is a shot of you in a stroller summiting Mt Whitney.

    While driving in this part of California and Arizona I am always struck by the strange beauty of the craggy and sharp peaked mountains that are all over the area. I am also curious what they are like up close as I zoom by on the large highways so thank you Tristan for sharing a close up, way close up, vantage of them. You shoot some beautiful images.

    The drone footage at the beginning is amazing. A lone soul on a dark and desolate mountain top. You were near Top Rock Gorge, I think that was a scene from the movie Into the Wild. Near there is Red Rock Falls. I don't know anything about the falls but maybe someone else does .

    Tristan, after watching this several times I have to tell you that it is my favorite video, cinematically speaking. Either you have been going to film school, are a natural cinematographer, or (I suspect) you are trying out techniques and learning from all your experience. The portion that really shines is your set up at 8:07, a casual conversation with the subject mountain lingering in the background, then the lead-in and following shots as you ascend, the fantastic reveal shot at 9:56 as Tristan comes into the picture, 10:23 when the movement starts at the same time as a pull-back, the somewhat gratuitous back-dolly (but I love that move) at 10:39, and then the resolve to an intimate conversation at 11:01. Great timing, variety, technique. You are really getting good at this. Kudos.

    Beautiful desolate place! One of my favorite places in AZ is Parker, an oasis in the desert! I don't remember exactly where but I've been told there is an old Japanese internment camp near there. After crossing the bridge I've always have made a right and travel up to Parker Dam. Lot's of wild burros and beautiful landscape.

    Hello, that bridge that you’re near on the Colorado river,on the California side, on the left, is the town of Earp. It’s only probably about 2 acres. There’s a post office on it, that’s it. I haven’t been through there in about seven years so I imagine it’s still there, as old as it is.

    I'm native Los Angelino and have spent a lot of my life going out to the Parker Strip and Havasu since I was a little kid. I have at least a dozen friends who live full-time out there and more that have vacation homes out there.
    I have always wondered why the Colorado River doesn't create the lush green land along its banks and filling its valleys like other rivers.
    I understand it is the desert but even deserts have oasis where there is ground water and or rivers and streams.
    It's always been puzzling to me.

    Hi Tristian,
    Loved that you explored Wyatt Earp’s mine. I always learn something in your videos! Most of all I am intrigued when you climb a mountain and share the registry with us. I love that there is a formal record.

  • @mrben6573
    @mrben6573 3 місяці тому

    I think that easy/medium mountains in the middle of nowhere probably get climbed less than taller more difficult mountains. For people to even be in the neighborhood to climb mountains like this they need to be in the section of the Venn diagram where 'Mountain Climber' and 'Four Wheel Drive Enthusiast' overlap. These people are probably mostly looking for a challenge and wouldn't think of climbing a mountain that wasn't tall enough or difficult enough. I'd greatly enjoy it if you sought out more of these forgotten easy/medium mountains to climb. The views from up there were fantastic, and just think how neat it is, every year there are over 500 summits of Everest, but you were the first guy on top of this mountain in two years. There's something magical about that. Climbing forgotten mountains is good vibes. Wonderful video.
