    Great video of the TMB! My wife & I are hoping to do the same - albeit in more than 6 days. When in the season did you complete the hike?

      Thank you so much for the kind words! Real quick I used a go pro hero 9 with a small travel tripod along with 4 extra batteries, and a dji mini 2 Drone with 2 extra batteries. Didn't need the extra battery pack because the rifugios had so many chances to charge up during the night. Hope you found this helpful and best wishes to you in the future!

    Just starting to plan our trip. Day 2 looks brutal may have to break that one into two. Did you have time to adjust to altitude before the start? what were the dates that you went? thank you

    • @CoryGrasser
      @CoryGrasser  11 місяців тому

      Hi Leslie! Jealous of your trek! Day 2 could have been broken up but all the rifugios were booked up. We did thus at the end of August. If you don't live at altitude, it usually takes about 2 weeks to acclimate, but my wife and I live at higher altitudes already in Colorado, so we were good. There is a lot of up and down on this hike with little flat sections. Have fun!

    Hi just watched your video. Stunning views. How was the ladder section? We fancy doing the hike but the ladder section worries us.

    • @CoryGrasser
      @CoryGrasser  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for watching, Elizabeth! I am so jealous of your trip. The ladder section is a little scary for some, but each ladder doesn't go more than 10 rungs. So you can get through each one in bite sizes. Also, if you are doing the hike counterclockwise, I think the ladders would be much easier than clockwise since you'd have to down hike the ladders instead of going up. Hope this helps!

    • @CoryGrasser
      @CoryGrasser  2 роки тому

      Marie, thank you! Living at 6,000 ft definitely helped. We really felt good throughout all the passed and climbs. The whole trail is either straight up or straight down. Not too many flat spots but if you cone from Utah and are in decent shape it well help you so much. The highest pass (Col De Ferret) tops out at 8,500 ft and we felt great at the top.
