Climbing it for climate- Vail
Every once in a while you get the opportunity to do something crazy. And at the same time the crazy thing is for a good cause.
So with our partners at Fjallraven and a local non-profit, we climbed the hardest hike in Vail, helping raise over $100,000.
Pretty darn good reason to go for a hike…

How long does it take to get to the top?
I tried last year from Silverton in my truck but was too steep. I will try from Ceede in a few weeks with my truck or maybe one of those side by sides.
I plan to do it in 45 minutes
Far from the best climbing but interesting geology comments
Lawd!
How can I train for this living in Texas where there is no elevation? I’m a 120 pound female and not sure I have the leg strength to make it to the top. I need some kind of training before attempting it.
Nope lots of women do...just walk up lots of stairs...but you need to get used to the altitude for a few days and get lots of water...They do have some bailout points if you can't make the top
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Ok. Thank you! It’s on my list to do this fall.
@user-ck4el2cc9b and in Parker halfway to Springs is a park with the little incline...shorter not as steep and easier...with ziplines to go down (for an added price) although the hike itself is free..you could test yourself on that
It's like Kokohead Hiking Trail in Hawaii
When I lived there, the incline would call out to me- Then right before I left I accepted the challenge and I conquered the incline. When I reached the top I said that was it for me- one and done. Now I feel the challenge to beat my original time. The incline is a beast!!! I loved it and hated it at the same time and I am so glad I did it!!!
Good content. I feel like the video could have been compiled and presented a little better, but it's still a 7 out of ten for me.
Nope should have been longer
wondering how you guys come down?? Zip line?
the Barr trail meets at the top and is a super easy hike down. but a zip line wound be a blast
Chairlift down wanna bye a ticket lol...Barr trail is easy
Drove from Dallas to do it. My fiance wants to do it…I’ll watch 😂
you can go up the Barr trail and give support - and food and water hahah
Drove 15 hours to get to Manitou Springs from South Texas, was going to acclimate for 2 days before attempting but decided to go for it the next morning, early. It hurt but got it done in an hour and a half...hated it, but can't wait to do it again...
I am in North Texas and making this trip in July. I plan on going to acclimate for two days as well, but I feel like I'm gonna be like you and just go for it HA HA! congrats!
I'm going in September, definitely training on the stair master until then!
good call getting to CO early! Try to start as early as you can because July can be pretty hot and for sure just do it for fun
How did everyone's trip go? I'll also be driving in from North Texas and plan on taking this challenge in mid October.
Just moved to Manitou Springs and just learning of this incline. Holy Crayola!! I'm getting winded just walking from my car to my front door, ha! Gotta give kudos to everyone who can make this hike!! 🧸❄️
At age 62 did in 1 hr 17 mins
Bravo
I’m coming from sea level can I do the incline the same day I arrive in Denver ? I’m in pretty good shape and do middle distance triathlons
Yep! It’s a short hike (.8 miles). Just take your time on the up (2,000 feet). Start early. Bring lots of water, snacks, and a hat. Take pauses when you need to, which should be often. It’s not about conquering the incline… it’s about surviving. Since it’s your first time, you will set a PR either way! 🙌🏼 Good luck!
Probably...there is a Incline in Castlerock shorter, not as steep, and has also ziplines
You two are the best
Truly appreciated ☺️😊
Has anyone ever seen a bear ?
not sure! It’s a pretty busy trail so I would imagine bears avoid the area… That said I bet you someone seen one
What kind of shoes were y'all wearing? Would a light hiking shoe be good or do your legs feel like tree trunks no matter what you wear?
We wore trail running shoes to get extra traction. And yep, Tree trunk legs either way but any incremental help, never hurts! Happy climbing!
@@thetwinswolff Thanks so much. Loved the video.I'll be heading out there in November😁
I really want to try the incline. I live in Colorado Springs but I haven't been hiking at the Manitou incline yet.
If the incline does not kill an allergic reaction or unknown heart condition will. People each time I have hiked the incline Emergency services have been called.
Is this hike worst than the Stairway To Heaven from Oahu??
The stairway to Heaven is for sure steep… and super humid with some scary side steps. This one isn’t too long but it’s silly steep with really big steps. No danger of falling off or slipping. But it can get pretty hot during the summer and elevation is a factor for sure. So I’d say it’s equally as hard if not a bit harder.
My first incline trip came in 1972. I cheated and actually rode the tram to the top! Then we hiked Barr Trail to the summit of Pikes Peak. Did in the Scouts. Leave Friday afternoon, ride tram, hike to Barr Camp, spend the night then hike from camp to the summit, eat lunch then hike back down to camp. Stay the night and pack out Sunday and ride the tram back down. Lots of fun. Did it two years in a row in my teens with my younger brother. It was a blast.
That's Colorado water and should be used as such who cares if their isnt some left over for the southern states
That ain't the way it works sport.
A couple of brooks, streams meet each other north of Creede, and the river is formed.
Forget the past and live in the present with Christ or if you’ve not yet, turn to Him now! He’s waiting with open arms. He’s always been chasing you through every up and down. All you gotta do is turn around. 🙏✝️
No I'm God
I'm from Iowa and I hiked the Manitou Incline back in 2020. It was super difficult for me until about 1000 steps in, but it seemed to get easier the more I got acclimated to the altitude. Unless you physically can't go any further, don't turn around. It's very satisfying to finish and the view from the top is incredible.
Excellent work!! And we totally agree. Once your body gets into a rhythm and you’re taking in the views, it’s worth the finish line!
It took my dad 3 tries but he accomplished it at 76 years old (from south Texas ❤)
Tenacious father you have! Tell him great work from us!
At 63 did 1 hr 17 mins
Vote Republican
If you want to speed up the river's death, sure, that's one way to do it.
nice video!
Thanks!! Hope you check out others and love to hear what you think
So worth it! Love Coco hanging in there with you!
She is a champ!! :)
This is awesome! Does CO Rivers Parks perform the same tests on the tributaries of the Colorado River?
Absolutely! And there are a number of other organizations that do this awesome science!
😥 p̷r̷o̷m̷o̷s̷m̷
Whoa, you got my respect 🙏 👏 🙌!
Cheers!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Going back this summer to repeat the leg destruction and talk adventure! Hope to catch ya there
I wonder if the bubbling boiling mud has anything to do with the boiling water that is pumped deep into the ground there for borax extraction?
Not originally... but now that you say it. Hmmmm
Good climb! Good cause!
my record was 40 minutes in the Army when I was 19 back in 2005....lol
Awesome!! What do you think your time would be now??
@@thetwinswolff I'd probably have a heart attack 1/4 of the way up lol. last time i did it 10 years ago in 1.5 hours
@@mfenix911 let’s go back then!! We can all have a heart attack. Then beers afterwards 😜
@@thetwinswolff lol, I'll go up again in may when it's not covered in snow >D
Thanks for the video
Thanks for joining the adventure! Hope you visit again and subscribe 🙌
I’m a Colorado Native and after getting sick with a really bad infection, it impacted my lungs severely. I have asthma now and it’s really hard for me when it comes to cardio/incline/run now 😔 I’m only 20. Idk how to increase my stamina or do better with breathing. I badly want to do this (I work out everyday) but my breathing control sucks. Anyone got tips for this??
Have you asked your Dr about getting an inhaler? That could help! And maybe biking could help. it allows for passive recovery and your gears can help lessen the aerobic burden. And recovery from a bad infection takes time. The incline isn't going anywhere. Nor are our Colorado mountains. ease back into adventure... it will be waiting for you.
Try Golden Colorado hikes and get used to altitude...try biking Green Mt in Golden or Dakota Ridge with the added attraction of Dinosaur Footprints...also there s a shorter easier Incline in Castle Rock between Manitou and Denver
The ones in jhole are a lot more ominous
Iam going there in a month, my main concern is to miss a step or lose my balance and fall down, will I keep rolling down and hurt my self bad?
Not at all! They’ve done a great job making sure that the trail/steps are solid and open. Just take your time and you should be fine
I just did it three times in one day today
Great work! We plan to go back and do the same
And I thought climbing The Willis Tower in Chicago was tough...ha!
First time hiking the incline was as a kid, hated it. Boutta go back and do it againnn 👌🏻
My son did it 6 times in one day a few days ago, as a personal challenge. If not for the heat, I’m guessing he would’ve done more. Watching this video, I’m even more proud of him; that thing is steep!
3-minute time lapse of the incline: czcams.com/video/mziPOrLo4v0/video.html
Is there a second way down after you get to the top
Yep! It’s the Barr Trail. Easy way down on a nice solid (not crazy steep) down hill
Parachute or hang glide or take Barr Trail up Pikes Peak and bike or take train down
I hiked this in 2011, ran down the trail on the other side. Crazy 😆 The crazy part about running down the step incline is that there are natural obstacles on the trail like roots and large pieces of rock pertruding from the trail. You have to plan your steps while running to avoid these or you can really hurt yourself. Did this with a friend who recently retired from the Air Force there. Be safe my friends 😆
Right?!!! Crazy kinda fun dodging nature
about to do this hike and then after drive pikes peak, hopefully legs wont be shivering too much lol
Good luck!! 🙌🙌
Me me me…but i am afraid of heights!!!
The rope helps a lot!!
Seriously…that is a glute buster! I totally want to hang out with you guys!!!!
Totally a leg destroyer!! And we are always keen to adventure with friends!!
