    Can’t wait… Chicago Basin will be #9-12 in a month!
    Thank you for these excellent videos! Informative, fun, no BS.
    You make the 14ers way more accessible to thousands of us… and safer.

    You have a great eye for choosing feasible lines when the going gets inobvious and do a great job of conveying it. Extremely useful skill for the less traveled peaks.

    At the end of each mountaineering adventure, the Virtual Sherpa gives the route a 'Dog Score' (reference to Doug Muro).

    I was able to do windom as a sunrise peak with my backpacking group and then we proceeded back to the trailhead, starting the day 2:30am and ending the day at 10:00pm.

      Did you end up going? I'm going at the end of the month and wondering if it is possible to hit Sunlight, Eolus, and Windom all in two nights.

      @wmbiisurgeon9087 3 роки тому

      @@dannydelorean5807 Yes, you could do Sunlight and Windom in one day and Eolus early the next day early and possibly come out that evening fast enough to catch the train.

    can you camp at twin lakes? everything I see says to camp at Chicago Basin but I'd rather get that extra mile and climb out of the way the first afternoon, and camp at Twin Lakes

    • @TheVirtualsherpa
      @TheVirtualsherpa  Рік тому

      I suppose you could, not sure the quality of camp spots but if you aren't picky, I don't see why not. Just be sure to follow wilderness guidelines for camping around water.

    I don’t get why that big crack makes it a class 4, it looks less exposed and better rock than the chutes on Quandry west ridge

      TBH - High class 3 and low 4 are all relative to me.

    I disagree. The only class 4 move isn't until the final push to friction climb the last "leap of faith". Everything up to that point is a piece of cake.

      Agree ,but weather ,experience, and other factors make one person's 3rd class another's 5.10x
