    Stoked to have been able to put this story together, thank you TNF! No matter how many times I’ve watched it, I still have NO CLUE how Kaytlyn and Jenny did it and made it look easy. This feat is BONKERS. 🤯. (FYI - Director's Cut coming Summer 2023!)

    I have done the northern section of this route linking the Redoubt High Route and the Pickets Traverse. It is bonkers difficult. It took us two weeks to complete. I would agree that the camp at Luna Col is the most beautiful place that I ever camped. My God, what a place.

    Another master piece film by TheGingerRunner! I was amazed by what Kaytlyn and Jenny achieved but even more so by seeing the scenery and profound beauty of nature they moved in. Thank you for letting us being a part of this by producing this amazing movie. We are such tiny speckles in this breathtaking space called world. “Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.”
