Love it! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be out that way next June, and I’m researching all of the possibilities! This looks amazing!
It was one of my favorite scrambles back in the day. I have been up there any times. Thanks for the visual reminder.
Thank you! Glad you liked it, yes I can see myself going back to this one many more times
Beautiful looking climb to the peak of Vesper, I am going to have to put that one on my list for next summer.
It's so much fun, the peaks in that area are incredible!
Thank you so much for showing us the beauty of nature, your videos are inspiring.
Muchas gracias Bonnie !!!
Thank you so much, Great views!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing your hike. I often enjoy the view of Vesper peak from Spada lake while kayaking. My 69 year old knees won’t let me hike it so your video allowed me to enjoy the hike from my chair. Thanks again.
You are so brave to hike alone. Amazing!
Just found your channel. Been years since I did Vesper. We climbed the 5th class face on other side. Was a hard day. Had to descend a steep snow field to get to the rock face. Not hard climbing but very little protection. Falling was not an option. Too old and disabled now. Bag those peaks while you can.
Got to give you credit for another hard hike, of all the four-thousand-foot gain trails I did back in my younger days I would say that one was the hardest, probably because of the trail condition like you mentioned.
Love Vesper Peak and Foggy Pass. Lots of mystery around it following the 'Sam Ayers'? Missing case. Lots of gullies to vanish in, and if she was seen heading down the wrong side of the pass that's a lot of jungle to the sultan river basin. Reminds me sort of all the death surrounding Sauk Mountain
It's an intense area, that's why I always recommend having multiple means of navigation
incredible
"It's steep, yeah, but I've done steeper!" she said, cheerily, looking ahead to five hundred feet of straight up. OMG, I would have turned around! LOL
This is probably my favorite comment ever LMAO thank you for the laugh, glad you enjoyed!!!
Just found your channel and subscribed...it is excellent and fun. The first hike I saw was Mt St Helens. I love that area. I am from Washington state now on the Oregon Coast. But love all the beauty of the mountains I see you hiking. You make it look so fun and exciting to be out there in the forest trails etc. Are you concerned about cougars and snakes? thats what I fear seeing......Love the channel. and will continue watching your adventures.
Thank you so much!
Not really scared of snake, we don't have many to worry about on the west side of the state, and rattlesnakes are pretty chill
I carry bear spray for large animals. I'm not scared of wildlife, prepared, but I try not to worry about it since it's so rare
I still do not know your name; your videos are much appreciated; thanks.
My name is Bonnie, thank you for watching
you're a beast
Thanks, the harder the climb the sweeter the payoff
One of the most challengjng hikes I did this summer! It was HOT, even after starting at 6am lol.
yeah the heatwaves in the summer will get you. 4k in under 4 miles is no joke!
How many miles, round trip?
How's the road and parking lot for this trail? Would a small sedan like my Civic be able to make it?
Any bears?
No, but there are black bears in this area and the rest of the cascades so it's always important to be prepared for bears
