That high route would have been a toughie. I went over Weminuche Pass, where the high route crosses, around Memorial Day - not too long before you. Here's what that looked like then: ua-cam.com/video/nJfG7J4yu3c/v-deo.html
Glad you went ahead. (I know this is 2019.) Still have snow shoes? There will be snow in Montana. To miss it I think your friends must wait until sometime in July to start. When you are glisading on your butt you should hold your ice axe across your front. Then to apply brakes either roll onto stomach and dig in pick. Or as you are going along dig in your non-pick end to slow n come to a stop. Not a wise choice to glissade without use of ice axe. Tired?? You had several if not all day-adrenilin rushes.
We really enjoy watching your Vlog. We are also parents of kids your age ( and older ) you have absolutely made some very good and safe decisions. Looking forward to what's next. They Call me Tim
Love watching you Glissade down and the 2nd was intense! Of course I probably never do this but fun watching you get such adrenaline rush! 👍🏻. The scenery is gorgeous and I think you made a wise choice - I wouldn’t like to flip - just wouldn’t feel the same or “right” again a very personal choice 👍🏻. The campfire 🔥 was really cool - who knew you could make a fire where there’s snow?!?! Glad the bear 🐻 was a safe distance - be on the lookout!! Thank you again - Safe travels 😎
Liked the snowy fire pit. That was cool to watch. No heat in the men's room or locked ? Just wondering. All worked out as no one even knew you were there. Keep hiking. It's fun to watch you having fun. Continued Good Luck.
Dang, epic doesn't just doesn't do it justice! BTW, your kind of lazy morning is way more than most people's full out + 10%. Great hearing about the battle plans.
I think you made a wise choice, I believe it will put you in Wyoming in better weather than if you would’ve flipped. I lived in Wyoming a few years ago just east of where your going through. Take Care
Glad you enjoyed the slide now never do that again where you do not know or is not part of the trail, you could have hit a rock just bellow the surface and you are alone.

Nice! No flipping for you, bro..nice choice
Glad you decided not to flip. Keeping the through in thru hiking. That snow fire hole is cool AF.

Really Great job pushing through, you made an excellent choice.
You are unbelievably brave. Thumbs up for carrying on alone after your companions flipped. Nice Rocky Mountain iris!’

Your laughter and delight going downhill on the snow makes me feel very happy and envious!
That's a killer solo free standing tent
Did I see a big agnes logo? Smart choice bro.
Great videos
