@@user-zs2vp5zi4y nope! Not required at all, just saves a little time on the way out.

That’s a great goal! You’ve got a lot of amazing experiences ahead of you. Happy trails! ✌️❤️🏔️

There will be more info on my website soon, but in the meantime... www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/evening-hike-at-goldmyer-hot-springs-trail-7ac71d4?u=i&sh=rvkuig

@@wildoutsiders Thanks. Sent a request to follow you on alltrails

Hahaha! A little treat for those who make it to the end 🤣

It is a slog! There’s a lot of mental endurance needed. I would say be sure to get a good amount of miles and gain under your feet so you can rely on your physical conditioning to get you to the top.

Thank you! I appreciate your comments!

All opinions welcome! I get it haha, I wanted the feel of the video to be a little uncomfortable since that’s how we felt the whole time on those slopes.

@@DanNoakes Thank you! Appreciate it!

@@its.Will_A11en we did post summit and it was marvelous! Good luck!

I ended up getting to the lake, but turned back around halfway up the mountain as it was getting too dark. Summiting next time though :)

Always good to rope up on a glacier. When we crossed, the crevasse danger seemed minimal. Good luck! It’s beautiful out there.

Thank you! Thank you! That was shot on my buddies Canon R6

Thanks Simon

Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate the love!

Certainly!

Thank you! Appreciate the love. Canon R5, 24-105 f4, extra cards extra batteries… equates to ~8lbs of gear.

Thank you! Not silly at all. Permits start May 15 so if you plan your adventure prior to that date there is no need for them.

@@wildoutsiders ah ok awesome, thought that might be the case. You nailed it with the timing then.

So nice! Thank you!

@@wildoutsiders out of curiosity what camera do you use when you film?

@@roseshighlights6910 Canon R5

@@wildoutsiders thanks

Would have loved to! But on this day, the right move for us was to boot down a bit before getting back on the skis.

Thank you for your concern. We had ropes with us and made calls based on the conditions we saw that day. ✌️❤️🏔

Quite the view up there! ❤️

It is a beautiful place! You should definitely go see it for yourself!

Agree! My partner wasn't up for it at that point in his skiing career - he was just learning. If I were to do it again, it'd definitely be on skis.🎿

Thanks! Final Cut Pro

@@wildoutsiders thank you! You guys are such a great inspiration!!

It still exists but it is small. We may see the Flypaper Pass snow climb cease to exist sooner so you should go sooner than later. ✌️❤️🏔️

@@wildoutsiders Thanks! I'll have to try to get there this summer 😅

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

In my opinion, the three-day pace was just right for what we were trying to accomplish - making a video and taking lots of photos. It was ample time, if not too much time to actually get around the lake. Our first morning didn't start till 10/11am and our final day ended at noon. I think XC skis would be appropriate and definitely the lighter option. We encountered a lot of drifted snow on the second day, and I appreciated my skins for all those pointless ups and downs. If avalanche danger is present you will have to descend and re-climb around the Dutton Cliffs area, depending on how proficient you are on uphill with XC skis this may be a consideration for an AT setup. Good luck! Let me know how it goes! www.thewildoutsiders.com/adventure-journal/crater-lake-ski-circumnavigation

thannks for the thoughtful response@@wildoutsiders

Thank you so much. Love the capture clip! Although after three years of use it has worn out (the camera slides right out - I wear a lanyard now with it) and I'm in need of a new one. I use a Canon R5 with a 24-105 lens. Eight pounds of camera on my shoulder for every hike - likely why the clip has worn out lol. ✌️❤️🏔

Appreciate it! I love reliving the experience in my timeline afterwards, spent a lot of time finessing this one - thanks for noticing! Can't take too much credit for the footage... it's easy when the scenery is so grand. Happy trails!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment!

Appreciate it pal!

Heard that! 🥲

Could you clarify? What would you like to know?

Nice job! I've been back that way as well, summiting Silver a second time via a direct line from just below Annette Lake. I know for a fact that you enjoyed some fun off trail travel and adventure on the trip you mention!

You definitely should! McLoughlin is a magnificent mountain and a worthy goal. ✌️❤️🏔️

Thank you so much! Appreciate the compliment more than you know!

Thank you, thank you! Always appreciate your kind words!

Oh it’s cheating that is for sure! But you should know we’ve also done the whole thing on foot before. Ryan and I marched up the Dose to climb Anderson and wisened up to the idea of e-bikes after the fact. No doubt the proper way to experience nature’s glory is at the pace of the backpacker (I’m a triple-crowner, I know this), but we had a mission and part of that mission was showcasing alternative methods to this unique approach. I definitely have not done it 5 times (respect! The Dosewallips is magical and challenging) but I bet if you had the chance to ride as we did this day, you’d also hoot, holler and have a grand ol time with us 😉✌️❤️🏔️ I love that you’re passionate enough to call us out but at the end of the day we are also out there to push ourselves, learn something new and grow… things I know you also seek from the Olympics otherwise why would you care to defend them so wholeheartedly?

Great video. Climbed Connie in the early 70’s. Before the road was closed. Much earlier in the season so the finger section was a dicey snow patch with crampons. We also got to glissade down which was a nice long slide. I’m not sure my 70 y/o legs could do those first 2 miles anymore. Thank you for the memories.

Appreciate the kind words! Thank you
