Appreciate it 👍👍!

@@schultz6622 it could but really depends on having very low gearing for that very steep fairly rough road. Lots of experience never hurts either. I could not do it to the top on my KLX 300 and barely escaped Browns lake trail a couple days later, super steep loose. I did buy a small front sprocket after that to have a more low speed power/torque. For me it was too rough to go very fast and too steep to go slow, bogging down in 1st gear. Hope that helps. I have been riding duel Sport bikes for a long time. Definitely work up to something like that.

I'd say both Longs and Kelso ridge on Torries are in not that different, both with solid exposure, Longs on the "ledges" and Kelso on the Knife edge. Same class 3 feel to me. I will say Kelso Ridge is a shorter route so you'll be fresher and less committed. . . Hope the helps!

Thank you my friend! Love to hear that you appreciated this incredible adventure! Karl Decker 👍👍

Take a cool pic and let 'em be

If the canyon is too narrow to pass, that means it’s narrow enough to climb over them

​@KarlDeckerPresents makes sense. Absolutely stunning video btw Your style of narration and video content is just incredible and this place is top notch. Great work!

Awesome thank you! Karl 👍

Big day with my daughter!

No a nice guy met on another hike.

Yes, very gratifying, thanks 👍

Thanks Jeff, very nice to see your comment and kind words regarding the channel!! I'm pleased to hear that, I hold what you've achieved in high regard! If there's a chance to get together on a discovery trip, don't hesitate! Best, Karl 👍👍

Thanks so much for your kind words! Karl 👍

Appreciate your thoughts, interesting story!

Thanks a lot!

Great to hear that! That was the goal here, knew it would be a scenic paradise this time of year! Would appreciate you sharing this with a few friends, etc. helps the growth a lot! Thanks again, Karl 👍👍

Hi Karl, ok, I will "distribute" it among my friends...Of course, because the video is really worth seeing👍👍Have a nice Sundy and cheers, Paul

Oh thank you my friend! It's a great classic Colorado traverse, you'll enjoy it when you have the time! Cheers, Karl 👍👍

That's why I put in the disclaimer LoL. Appreciate the correction.

Can't I be forgiven for the act of hydration during a dual fourteener slog?? I'll try to do better in the future

Appreciate that! Karl 👍

Thanks again 👍

Excellent plan, enjoy that wonderful area!! Thanks, Karl 👍👍. Oh, please share your favorite vids with friends, that's how we're growing 🙏🙏

Hey my friend!! How are you? Great to hear you're heading back to do more cool things! Hopefully we'll see each other out there sometime! Karl

Yes, it IS incredible! Thanks. I'm not the person to comment on your Outback question, that said I've seen them get up roads I didn't think they could.

Yeah, pretty much! Karl 👍

@KarlDeckerPresents I did trad leading at only 5.8, but would be scared to even do that roped crawling (Which would be dangerous anyway and take forever!)

Appreciate your comment, you know what it's like up there! To your point, I have had to be more respectful of what my knees tell me already, so that day will come where I have to back off a bit, hopefully not for a few more years! Best, Karl 👍👍

@@KarlDeckerPresents Thanks. I was 57 when I did this and already had one replaced hip. So it wasn't easy! But my time window for doing things like this has passed. Enjoy your remaining years of being able to do this, and keep the videos coming. Milt Strickler

Will do sir! As long as I'm able

Thank you! Karl 👍

Well thanks, appreciate it! Feel free to share any/all of your favorites, Karl 👍!

That is awesome! Reading this made my day, so glad you got to experience those very cool and unusual adventures! My humble thanks, Karl 👍👍😌

Thanks again. DJI mini 3 pro, not yet on Lincoln. 👍👍

Glad to help. That's a touching story, I fully understand, and now perhaps seeing the area it does for you also, as you said...that means a lot to me and I thank you for posting this. Karl 👍

Thanks! Appreciate that, Karl 👍

In some areas yes, sadly. Rocky Mountain NP has very bad damage 😔

Thanks my friend 👍! Karl. Please share with some friends if you're able

No problem Buddy! It's definitely cool up there, glad you feel chilled down watching 😊😊. Karl 👍

Thanks! It was great timing to catch the area with the almost perfect scenic conditions. I have been on hundreds of mountain adventures, this scene was mind blowing even for me! Thanks again for the nice comment, Karl 👍👍

Thank you! Cheers! 👍

Yes the snow events can be unpredictable. Thanks!

Thanks my friend, I sure tried to capture a sense of that elusive combo of mountain color, patchy snow, and great lighting. That's magical. It's surprising, especially above 13,500 or so how long the snow will persist. Karl 👍

You are very welcome of course! Drones can provide spectacular, hidden perspectives and that's why I use them when permissible. This place, with fortunate timing, was mind blowing! Glad to hear you're inspired to get out there and experience it in person. As great as a vid might be, the awakening of the senses to the majesty of natural settings should happen in person!! All the best, Karl 👍👍

Means so much coming from a great drone pilot and editor that you are Petr!! 🙏🙏

I'm happy to hear that the routing came out clear to you. Worked on that. Glad we agree that the views were amazing. Thanks! Karl 👍

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed, Karl 👍

Great to hear, thanks much! I was pleased with the work, appreciate you, Karl 👍

Hey appreciate it! I'm honestly not sure, there are some local ordinances around Ouray. Check ahead. Karl 👍

That was some adventure and the drone footage was great. I have been up there but without all the snow. The views are epic. OHV do operate up there. I suggest 4x4 as there some tight turns and you need low range going down. Thanks for sharing these great views. 😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍

Hey Lynn! Missed your post, it was a great reply to her question. Thanks! And appreciate your liking the video, means a lot coming from you! Karl 👍👍

Very nice, congrats!

Thanks my friend! Very appreciative for your kind words! 👍

Okay. Speaking of confusing, why are there 2 distinct "Chicago Basins" in my home state?

@@KarlDeckerPresents how many Bear Lakes, Crystal Lake, Green Mt, Bald Mt, etc. etc.

Yeah thanks, that was DJI air 2S. I now use a mini due to size in backpack.

Got it, thx. Which mini?

Mini 4 Pro

That was an air2s but I’d recommend the mini 4 pro a tad less stable in wind, but still good and way, smaller and lighter.
