This is exactly the sort of expedition I love. I’ve climbed all around snow king and also just west of you, by baker lake! It’s so hard to find partners for this stuff though, last few years I often end up waiting until my sons have time

Big fan of your work, Dan. Keep em coming. This one looked challenging. Your man, Keaton moves well on the rock.

This was so unpretentious and inviting. You three look like a great crew too. This was seriously great, raw, organic, and real. Love.

Amazing Dan!

This is a well known favorite skied a section of it but went to Darwin and over Muir pass and out to Sabrina, quite popular

Killer, Dan. Thx for this epic vid. Glad you had some good weather.

Looks like you're carrying enough cargo to camp. How long did this take you guys?

Excellent video, Dan! Sure makes me want to see the high Sierras....however, your two partners are the most understated guys I've ever seen interviewed! They could learn the meaning of "loquacious"...:)

Is Darwin Col in between Mt Tom Ross & Darwin Col? TYSM!!

Dan - you MUST love talas n boulders! I've done much of this route in pieces over the years. Thought no one had hit Darwin Col - no footprints to be found in 2022 - except Bob Burd. Gonna put this one on my list, when my knees are replaced.

Un. Real. Another inspiring trip. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Enjoyed your video. Had to jump across the map at one point. That's quite a leap from Stanton Pass to Kuna Crest. What route did you take for that section?

m forsure interested in this '"great little route" help a hiker out ! i gotta do this one!

Awesome. Always kinda imagined a route but some serious terrain the way you went. I've done the traditional South Lake to North Lake hike... but this is a whole 'nother beast! 😮

Objective distances and climb vertical would be helpful. Awesome traverse! Do you think parts would be possible in winter on skis?

Very well done. I was wondering about whether there was a trail from north lake to south lake as i approached piute pass on my jmt reroute. Glad I took the road. This would have been beyond my capabilities.

More info please

Love it when you put the date on the video!! Thanks!

Nice job, I have seen your face in Bishop before...This is definitely not new... But one of the great route variations a few of us locals have done and others over the years, Just to name a few. All from North...North to sabrina...from all over Evo... south lake ... over cloud ripper to the druids and down to Bishop...all the way to barrett lakes and down through Pal to big pine... Evo basin over huxley... Echo from leconte ...Dusy... Clyde spires... johnson ....trapezoid... hurd ...goode no goode... It has been done from the milks... from pine creek over four cables to key hole and through your GPX... There are many low key locals that most do not know about here on the East side, that have done way more then gets talked about here on social media or mountain project. Right a guide GPX or spray the good vibe ... But know, this is definitely not a new route. Good times

Beautiful!! Got a GPX Track?

Nicely done! Quite the challenge with all the up and down. Great job shooting and editing the video.

Fantastic Dan! I enjoy all your films but the lack of dialogue in this one made for an unexpected change of pace, and a thoroughly enjoyable one at that! Thankyou for sharing:)

Beautiful scenery. Only bummer was how short the video was. Would really enjoy longer episodes. Agree with others on the minimal music and commentary. Good stuff.

Such a tribute to all we love to do out there. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely inspired to do something more off trail someday.

Thanks

Pretty Epic, thank you for sharing.

Incredible. "Inspiring" is an understatement with views like that.

This is wow, incredible views, those turquoise lakes, it doesn’t look like an easy trail! Thank you for sharing, it’s now on my hiking list ❤

Happy to see a new adventure! I like the minimal editing, music, and commentary.

As always, I ultra-enjoyed this video. Would love to see more info on this route or any of your adventures. Question. Have you done the Hayduke trail??

Amazing route !! looks amazing ;) See u, Campo from France

I was a little south of you in the Gardiner Basin (via Kearsarge/Onion Valley) at the time you did this hike (Sep 12-17th, 2023). Amazing footage, thanks for sharing!

Extraordinary route, spectacularly captured. I haven't done anything south of the YHR yet and this looks extremely compelling.

Thanks for sharing! Amazing views! I would love to learn more about your route if you cared to share

Looks like your windows wallpape
