I'm 66, my husband is 72, we love your videos. We binge watched every video, twice, and now we're experiencing severe withdrawal. So even though we're the furthest thing from 'gear heads' (I read the comments) we are so starved for your unique brand of entertainment that, yes, we would love to watch a run-through of your gear, and you can do it from your own backyard! Seriously, thanks for all of it. We love Blake because he is often battered and broken, but perseveres. We identify with that. We love all the guys. Best thing on youtube.
So good. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a run through on your gear. Like make it an hour long-feed your fellow gear heads pleeeeeeaaaaassse. Also easy to do during the lockdown. If you do I’ll buy $100 in merch. Swear
@@Mike-rj6wn thanks for the tip! Strange that they would put it on a different channel. I think an episode on their fitness regimens would be cool. Christof clearly only does curls for the girls but I would still like to hear about those curls ;)
I never get tired of waking up and seeing Timp out my window. That mountain really dominates the entire valley, and for being only 11,750 it just feels so much larger than it is. Definitely punches above its weight. And the views from the ridge are incredible. The city and lake on the west and Heber valley and Uintas to the east. Never not a good day spent on Timp. Even just chilling around Sundance and the falls is always amazing. Love Dry Canyon. So much to see up there.
Love it. To have that in your backyard is awesome, I have to drive for 1-1/2 hours here in UK to get to the mountains and then they’re not in the same league. Keep the videos coming and maybe you’ll get over here one day to tackle the Cuillin Ridge.
Wow. What a beautiful adventure. This video was such a bright spot in my morning when they have otherwise been dull, stale, and gloomy for the past month. For those of us who are unlucky enough to live far away from the mountains that we ski, this makes us salivate. As always, thank you to Danny, Christof and the rest of the M.A. team help us life vicariously through them. I would love to see more of your action in the Wasatch. We all love your adventures on high peaks around the US (and world) but as someone who is getting ready to move to Salt Lake City, seeing the Wasatch up close really excites me. After all, what you might consider a "boring" day in the mountains is probably way more fun and exciting than any day I'll ever have. Perhaps this quarantine period is a good time to showcase more of your backyard? Again, thank you!
Guys, thanks again from week five of lockdown in Madrid, España. More vicarious ski mountaineering is being lived through your days out. I for one am very happy that you have that playground on your doorstep. May you have many more (for us all)
Brilliant stuff. Thanks for this. It was needed! Week 5 of lockdown for me in the UK. I had to cancel my month in the alps over easter, which was a bummer, to say the least. Here's to winter 20/21.
I too live in the shadow of Timp. All the time during winter and spring I look up there and wonder what it's like up top at this time of the year. Thanks for this extremely well shot video to show us what it's like. What a great day! Best channel on UA-cam, I'm doing what I can to spread the word.
@@cnuila crazy! I fly for Alaska Airlines and just moved/live in Lehi. I’ve been climbing all over these mountains and have seen a ton of these videos (mediocre amateur) and had no idea. I’m also really good friends with a United pilot who was paralyzed in 2019 from a mountain bike wreck who lives in Draper.
Timp has some incredible day hike opportunities for regular people. This flatlander will never forget my day on the Timpooneke trail. Great video, guys!
I’m so happy to have another video! Thank you, I know adventuring right now is kind of fraught with complications. What an amazing mountain to have in your backyard. Beautiful footage as always.
Hiked up there in the summer, 45 years ago, and that west side looked like a giant talus slope of sharp rocks. You are one brave guy hiking up in snow.
Timp is a great mountain indeed. Nice the Forest Service hasn't closed all of the trailheads like they have here in Oregon! Super day of maintaining social distancing!
I have several partners in SLC from my days in Jackson before moving to AK. Every time I visit I ask about Timp and my eyes always wander to that skyline. I need to get it done. This was a great outing. Amazing snow to the car. And I have some pack envy, too. Damn it.
Awesome work! I'm pretty sure I saw you guys unloading the other day, and I thought, "they must have been on an epic adventure". I'm also two blocks away from the Trailhead. Love it, and congrats on the sweet adventure. Zero wind is super rare!
I was looking for Rainer videos in prep of my climb and found y’all. Your videos have become my favorite thing to watch!! You’re amazing. I want to do all these things.
Dont let the quarantine shammers bring you down!!! Love your vids. better than the pros - who are so emotional and serious about everything they do these days.
I'm a salt lake local, love your vids and the beta they provide for me. Keep doing local trails through the quarantine!!! Also have you considered doing any meetup adventures with fans? I'd love to join in on the rad-ness sometime!
You guys are awesome! Love your videos! Can you do a video talking about what you do to train and work out for these adventures while you're in lockdown?
I had no clue you were this close to me.. I live in Lehi. Iv been following you since your early videos, and little did I know you lived right down the road..
I tried to summit Mt. Timp in September this past year and got stuck in a snowstorm I wasnt expecting just before Emerald lake and had to turn around. It was an amazing trail coming up the east side of the mountain, regardless! First time I had been out there during the "summer" before, its beautiful!
You guys should look into the Great Range Traverse in the Adirondacks! When everything is normal again that is. Love all your videos thanks for posting great content!
Iv been out hiking and climbing this whole entire quarantine. Just me and the wild. Get out there people! Its the best form of social isolation. Cheers!
Curious if you’ve noticed better air quality along Wasatch Front given less driving with the current limitations. Lived in SLC for many years and the winter gunk (inversions) were always depressing. Good time to get into mountains. Great videos. Amazing views at 6:08! Mt. Nebo in distant background if I’m correct.
Hehe, thanks for the break! I am still kinda unhappy that I am missing out the spring ski mountaineering season here in the alps. I saw Christof got himself a Salewa Winter Train backpack. I have the same, albeit in the grey variant, and am super happy with it. It is light, practical and nice to wear. The only downside was that in the first one I got, the ski attachment strap broke on the first use (still in the valley, so nothing bad happened :)).
Thorsten Reitz Danny actually has one too on this outing. Really have liked it, although funny the only flaw we can find as well is that ski carry strap. Hasn’t broke yet but just not our favorite.
If you are walking on a cornice you should use your probe to determine its thickness as you walk. Great technique to determine where the cornice ends and the mountain begins.
Did this hike this summer. Only made it to the waterfall. It was hot out and I was smoked since I had spent the last couple of weeks in glacier and the Tetons. Beautiful hike though
Interesting, I've been up Dry Canyon to the Big Baldy trail junction, tried to look for Everest Ridge but could not tell the best route up from that point since it was off trail from there on out.
BRING BACK BLAKE! Despite all his whining that guy hardly ever dies.
I agree. !!!
He's on Instagram- says he's busy with work and has an achy knee
Agree
Like my dads old Chevy. Leaks oil like a civ, but Cant die. Won’t die.
The people want “FAT, WHEEZY BLAKE!”
Christoph is so lucky he has a good friend who almost made a reservation at the hospital for him.
Anita Back roads only he’d probably still make me drive myself though

The more new gear I see, the more I think "This guy convinced his wife these are investments for review content". Danny is a genius on so many levels.
Cameron Griffin if he works in an outdoor industry or has access to expert voice etc. you can get some crazy discounts.
With those shades and luxurious mane, Danny is starting to look like a Warren Miller highlight reel from the late 80s.
You guys make it look a lot easier and smoother than summer hiking. Nice winter shots!
I already love this channel, but when you said "quarantine shamming" I was like these are my people, love it!!!
So good. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a run through on your gear. Like make it an hour long-feed your fellow gear heads pleeeeeeaaaaassse. Also easy to do during the lockdown. If you do I’ll buy $100 in merch. Swear
they did in a different video a little while ago, i think the channel they use for gear stuff is called "extra mediocre" or something?

I recently discovered your channel. My wife and I binge watched all of your videos. Very entertaining and inspiring.
I agree with you, he inspired me to create my own channel since I partook in similar activities!
Guys, thanks again from week five of lockdown in Madrid, España. More vicarious ski mountaineering is being lived through your days out. I for one am very happy that you have that playground on your doorstep. May you have many more (for us all)
Quarantine shaming is a serious issue. Thanks for fighting the good fight! Keep it up fellas!
Another incredible video with excellent footage and banter! I cannot wait to hike Timp again when the snow melts!
Your channel keeps me alive during this messed up time! So lucky to have that at your doorstep
Brilliant stuff. Thanks for this. It was needed! Week 5 of lockdown for me in the UK. I had to cancel my month in the alps over easter, which was a bummer, to say the least. Here's to winter 20/21.
When you can’t get out to hike, this is definitely the next best thing, thanks for bringing the outdoors to us!

Waking kids and wife before an adventure...never truer words have been spoken about the hell that will ensue.
Your hometown turf is outstanding!
I didn’t know christof was a Pilot for united airlines , cracked me up when I saw him In another video flying to japan with his father , hell yah

@@davidmartin6721 I didn’t know him personally but that was really sad. Maybe see you around SLC on the commute!
That was RAD!!! Can't beat a good Timp adventure...Cheers!
i love this channel. you guys get all the shots and clips of what people want to see.
Very good, you guys are tough and brave too. Thanks for sharing.
Timp has some incredible day hike opportunities for regular people. This flatlander will never forget my day on the Timpooneke trail. Great video, guys!
Love you guys! Glad you're healthy and giving me some mountains to look at! I'm stuck home in Seattle for the conceivable future
What a gorgeous day! It's still winter in Colorado. I 🤍 Utah!!
I love finding a new binge worthy channel.
First time I am hearing about Mt. Timp but am so jealous that you have such an amazing mountain right in your backyard. Loved the content.
Your comment on your four year waking up and start a cascade of events was classic.
I’m so happy to have another video! Thank you, I know adventuring right now is kind of fraught with complications. What an amazing mountain to have in your backyard. Beautiful footage as always.
Thank god you guys are back ... keep them coming
Thanks for reminding everyone, that the mountain is in our backyard.
Hiked up there in the summer, 45 years ago, and that west side looked like a giant talus slope of sharp rocks. You are one brave guy hiking up in snow.
Timp is a great mountain indeed. Nice the Forest Service hasn't closed all of the trailheads like they have here in Oregon! Super day of maintaining social distancing!
Still the most exciting trips on UA-cam. Love your drive fellas
I have several partners in SLC from my days in Jackson before moving to AK. Every time I visit I ask about Timp and my eyes always wander to that skyline. I need to get it done. This was a great outing. Amazing snow to the car. And I have some pack envy, too. Damn it.
Thanks guys. From one Utah mountains lover to another, you keep it real and fun!
Who clicks down and why? This is life itself!
Quarantine shamers down vote, that's who. I had a lady tell me that I was putting a gun to her children's head by going on bike rides.
Love your content. Thank you for all your video and editing work!
Awesome work! I'm pretty sure I saw you guys unloading the other day, and I thought, "they must have been on an epic adventure". I'm also two blocks away from the Trailhead. Love it, and congrats on the sweet adventure. Zero wind is super rare!
I don't know why you guys don't have more followers. This is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam.
This is very exciting to watched!
I was looking for Rainer videos in prep of my climb and found y’all. Your videos have become my favorite thing to watch!! You’re amazing. I want to do all these things.
Epic Timp climba and ski, loved it, been up there once in summer but that was awesome!
Let me just say how much I enjoy the teasing of Christof. Seriously makes me laugh so much!
Wish this was in my back yard. TY for the awesome video.
Nice flow! The lettuce is in full bloom.
Wow! That's it. Just wow. I had no idea people explored timp like that!
The waking the kids' thing! Great stuff guys!
Brilliant video, chaps. That looked like great skiing. I look out over my back yard and the nearest snow is approximately 600 miles away, in Norway.
Another awesome trip!!!. Keep em coming!.
Love the Channel! You guys inspire! We do miss Blake!
Wow! I have hiked to the top in the summer but you both made it look so fun to ski down. Pretty amazing quarantine day compared to most of us.
Excellent stuff. Keep it up guys!
Well... That looks like an amazing place to live, sir.
Soooo jealous you have that in your backyard😳! Way to take advantage 👍🏼
Dont let the quarantine shammers bring you down!!! Love your vids. better than the pros - who are so emotional and serious about everything they do these days.
As usual...epic footage. thanks
great vid guys thanks for getting out there! nice to watch vids like this when quarantined
New gear for every new adventure. Nice.
Dude your good! You cant live in fear! send it
10:14 something I would do lol. My heart stopped for a sec.
Not gonna shame you guys. I did 18 solo miles in the Swell last weekend, kept my social distance and my sanity.
Hah, I did something similar a few days ago, alas I was shamed for posting it on my channel.
Everyone wants Blake (me included), but what about Aaron? I've missed seeing him in the vids!
Just summited Timp for the first time. Can’t imagine doing it in the winter. Very cool!
I'm a salt lake local, love your vids and the beta they provide for me. Keep doing local trails through the quarantine!!! Also have you considered doing any meetup adventures with fans? I'd love to join in on the rad-ness sometime!
thanks bro for this content!
You guys should do Mt. Nebo.
You guys are awesome!!
Alternate title for the video "How many times can Danny rub it in that this mountain is in his backyard" haha! Solid video as usual!
I wish I did hike and adventures at the time I lived in Utah.. now I do come back for fun!
You guys are awesome! Love your videos! Can you do a video talking about what you do to train and work out for these adventures while you're in lockdown?
Dude! Excellent video
Awesome back yard!
guys I've always wanted to Climb and ride Mt. Timpanogos, super sick video !
strava link please!
Nice vid, dood you guys should totally be poaching Snowbird and Alta. I poached my local apocalypse abandoned ski area today, not a soul around.
I had no clue you were this close to me.. I live in Lehi. Iv been following you since your early videos, and little did I know you lived right down the road..

It was an amazing trail coming up the east side of the mountain, regardless! First time I had been out there during the "summer" before, its beautiful!
Brandon Hall Timp was never open last year, I swear the glaciers are gonna come back on it!
Danny, you should take an inflatable boat down the glacier. Its good fun
You guys should look into the Great Range Traverse in the Adirondacks! When everything is normal again that is. Love all your videos thanks for posting great content!
Iv been out hiking and climbing this whole entire quarantine. Just me and the wild. Get out there people! Its the best form of social isolation. Cheers!

Something new from Mediocre Amateur? Couldn't click faster!
CHRISTOPH rocking the Audi RS......
Miss you guys!
that baldy trail was really hard for me in the summer, can't imagine doing it carrying skis and walking through snow
No quarantine shamming here!
defiantly wish I could be out doing that but up here the Mt Hood forest is completely closed and just about every trail of any kind is closed
I'm jealous of your neighborhood.
