    Geez, there is a lot of mountain climbing in that lot. I'm with Raven, bypass it.

      Hahaha yeah it's pretty non-stop. I think one section is 11 miles with 7,000ft of gain and loss.

    Curious to know how the soles of your companion’s Topos held up in that terrain.

      They did great, I have a topo review video on the channel it was the video before this one that shows the wear and tear on the topos.

      It was in Australia out in some national park by the ocean, he thinks someone came in on a boat looking for the tent of those two young women he was camped next to.
