Hiked this just a few days after doing a R2R of the GC. Would say that the uphill on the dune was much worse than the climb out of the GC for sure. You do have to stay on the ridges for a better climb, but depending on how things go, you get into sections where the back sliding is quite bad and to make reasonable progress, you have to run up before you slide back and that is taxing. Incredibly unique sights and view and it's like that just pop up out of nowhere.

I'm sure they really appreciated having someone to talk to on the descent, considering they're grinding through 58 14ers in less than 10 days. This is the first time I've ever seen them in action, and it's kind of fascinating to watch their hiking style - despite being in absolute peak physical condition, they're not running, they're pacing and walking with ample use of poles the whole way down. Really gives me some insight into my own technique. Another great vid!

Based on your other vids, I thought this would be a loop over the 'trail' over the wave cave, across the ridge, and down the summit trail. Have you done that one? It's a bit scrambly, but fun.

Thanks for the vid, I stayed at Gouldings Lodge a few months ago. I was planning on hitting the arch and Mexican Hat on my last day after my MV tour there but it started raining. Decided to just head back home. After seeing the vids, not a big loss. But good to see in a vid.

Whenever I pass by Weaver's, I always think what it would be like to get on top. Probably never will (climbing just isn't my thing) but thanks for showing us the way. You have some good vids, it'll take me awhile to get through them.

Where do I park to access this ?

Great work! I wish you had recorded down climbing as well. I would be even more concerned with getting down.

Beautiful footage. Pretty risky when you're alone, though. Stay smart, stay safe.

At 6:31 that’s where I saw the temporary water fall when I first went. Got my self soaked climbing up 😂 totally lost the trail after it, and the wet rock surface and the exposure had me turn around. May attempt it sometime later when it’s dry 😂 great video!

Was that Andrew Hamilton? He already holds the 14er FKT of 9 days and 21hrs. Guess he’s trying to improve it. The guy is a super human

Love those class 2 Colorado 14ers.

How many hours it take?

I was having same trouble rappelling. Take your brake hand and lift it above the belay device... as you move it down to your hip it will slow you down. You can adjust your decent speed that way without having to constantly feed the device. You can also tie a backup on the rope incase your brake hand comes off. I am just now learning, from some super experienced climbers. Thought I would share, likely you know anyways.

SUPER COOL DUDE! My buddy and I climbed on Elephant head east of here. We made a video of it on my Channel. Baboquivari has been on my wish list for a LONG time. Several of my friends have done it. One said he felt like roping up was a bit unnecessary on the route they took but he said he lead some less experienced climbers up. DANG your first lead was LONG... I'm a bit of a novice! I'd be shaking in my boots waiting for you to put something in the rock.

Very cool! I think you can climb to the top with climbing gear. Do you hike full-time? How do you even do this much hiking? 😆

aw how cute, a baby mountain

Dang looks like a lot of ppl there! I wonder if there's a lot less ppl mon-fri?

You are a machine! 💪💪💪 Humphreys × 2 or even 3 times.. I admire your dedication and physical abilities. Keep going and keep inspiring others 💪

Knowing how the rock is an AZ I wouldn’t feel comfortable grabbing on to anything with how’s crumbly everything is.

I've seen the movie free solo, this is hiking.

"Overgrown"? Is it even a trail at that point? If not, that's just grown. Interesting to see all the different approaches to Pyramid! I'll be scrambling straight up from Aloha to start the Crystal Range traverse next week.

Thanks, planning on hiking this when I'm in the area. I might've been stuck if I didn't see this vid.

Well done. I'm considering it. Looking like some fall exposure. Might be too sketchy for me. My plan is to start up and turn around if at any point it gets to be out of my comfort zone.

Great vid

Awesome

How was the road up to the trailhead? I have a low clearance vehicle. Thanks!!!

I realize as you do more miles that adding a few more is no big deal. But if you want a luxury, park your car at the BA trailhead, call the Xanterra taxi to bring you to the SK trailhead. It is $15 for a single person last time I went. I think each additional person is $5 more. Then you get all your miles just in the Canyon and not running to/from car. You top out and you are right at your car. No bus crowd to deal with. The highest luxury is just getting a room at BA lodge. Topping out and going straight into a shower and meal is incredible.

As someone who gets scared of class 3s these are always fun to watch. Would love to see views looking down on (or amongst) some jagged rocks in person someday!

Warch out for the mogo monster

Love the content

Third day camp way 😂

On my list

The 9 Peaks Challenge is another way to tackle this one, possible to loop but easier to hitchhike from end of trail back to car, as I did. I true ultra iron man named Rick Kent once made it the 17 Peaks Challenge, by adding on all the peaks of Yucaipa Ridge as a dayhike.

The only real hiking I've done was Twin Sisters in Colorado. It was great. Your channel is awsome. I'm going to try some of the hikes you have done. Some are way out of my leave yet though.

It's been a childhood dream to summit Weaver's needle. Thanks for taking us there. My dad would have loved to seen this video.

I believe it is called halfway camp because it is half way to high creek camp.

You'd probably like the South Fork or Fish Creek Trail to the Summit of San G

Great job - that's one I've been wanting to try

Really cool video - jealous. But, if you're going to complain about tourists then maybe don't take rides from them? Not a good look.

12:19 It is not an aggression. This way she stimulates lactation. ;-) Nice video! Thank you!

Great job.

No class 4 on Mt Muir if you are on route, but you can easily veer into class 4 if you do not recognize good routes. It's not hard class 3 climbing. There are places with exposure, but the climbing is easy. Once you have done true class 4 routes, you know the difference. Class 4 routes involve harder moves as well as exposure. Heck, class 2 can have significant exposure, so exposure is not the sole factor.

GREAT VIDEO ON CLIMBING WEAVER'S NEEDLE. SOUND LIKE YOUR ONE BIG CRY BABY ON HIKING. LOT'S OF CRYING AND COMPLLAINING ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT. MY BACKPACK TO HEAVY, ROPE IS HARD TO UNTANGLE, NOW I HAVE ROLL THE ROPE UP. CRY CRY CRY. STAY HOME BABY.

Awesome! You did it so fast! How long do you think it would take hiking at a moderate to fast pace? 7-8 hours?

Man! What’s up with all that people in Wirepass ? 😳 was that a weekend? I went down Wirepass to Buckskin twice last year, first time there was a ladder, second time there was only a rope, the ladder was washed away. I need to try the route you took in this video sometime soon seems a lot of fun 😎. Just need to work the logistics of getting back to my car 😬
