- In this video I return to Wyoming's Wind River Range to tackle what proves to be the most challenging mountain I've set my sights on climbing.

I envy your fitness and ability to hike to these places. But I want to thank you for allowing us old timers, (I am 73 years old), to go along and see a small part of your adventures. I never realized that western Wyoming was SOOOO beautiful! Thanks again.
You probably dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Karsyn Braydon Instablaster ;)
@Alexis Benson I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Alexis Benson it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Karsyn Braydon You are welcome :)
I very seldom write comments but one is warranted here. If I could give this two thumbs up I would!!! That first day was insane.17+ miles with scrambling and on top of it having to set your camera and doubling up on some of the walking..... Then getting to the peak! I was freaking out just watching the video. Gorgeous scenery, great commentary. I've been watching your videos for awhile now; this is easily the best I've seen!
Thanks Bill! 17 miles in a day wouldn't be too bad if it were all on a nice trail, but it was suuuper slow going once I left it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
👍👍two thumbs up lol
Ditto...!!!
Great job!! Great Video!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you doesn’t come close! I know you love this and would do it without taking us, but we’d never get to see this any other way. Thanks for sharing!
Dear humbled Tristan,
Your climbing skills along with videos AND speaking voice make your adventures SO spectacular. I am infinitely impressed! And in KNOWING the serious surgeries that youve endured make viewing your journeys that much MORE incredible. May God always Be WITH you- Thank You for sharing your AWESOME gifts ⛰️🏔️🏞️👍
Very, very impressive. Good for you. Gorgeous area for sure.. The untouched land is the most beautiful. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Stupendous hike. Deserves 1 million views.
Thanks David!
A fine example of someone who is not wasting their life. I envy you.
My favorite part was the summit. What I'd like to see is you and fellow CZcamsr Foresty Forest climb a mountain together! P.s. this was my favorite video of this channel. Cinematography at its best.
That would be amazing I love both of them
Wind River area has some of the most ruggedly stunning views in the world.
Thanks so much for sharing your incredible experiences.
How does this not have a million views? Probably my 3rd time watching it. Amazing.
You are so hard-core, Tristan! 7000 feet of elevation gain a lot. That was treacherous-looking rock. I'm glad you have one of those Spot things.
Thanks for watching!
Your genial approach to story telling belies your skill set. That was an impressive climb
Congratulations. Much respect and love to you for your accomplishment. I am 73 and beyond capable of such quests. My respects and heartfelt thanks to your wife for supporting you in your efforts to share your adventures with us.
Wow😱 Amazing. “Oh My God! How’s he gonna get back down!” But you did!🥳Thank you for taking us with you! 🥰
Wow! Thank you for showing us views that I would never see in my lifetime. It's beautiful up there...like climbing into a Bob Ross painting. I was so nervous when you were near the top (I have a fear of heights, and my knees turn to jello at the 7th rung of a ladder). So impressive. Thanks again. : )
Dude!!! Big props!!!! I think my heart stopped a half dozen times watching you slip on those rocks. Still worried you did this alone. Thanks for taking us along. Mighty spectacular!
Ps. Re the thumbs down reactions....well that's just plain bizarre.
The hardest hike but best views of the Rookies but treacherous indeed. Glad to know you had satellite communication. I'm 63 and when and if I can I will donate to your cause. I have been spreading the word of SUV rving to everyone about seeing the best of the West better than Nat. Gio.
I stood on that same rock on the summit of Gannet Peak in August of '73 when I had just turned 20. There was more snow on the mountain but otherwise your film brings it all back. We approached it from the West as well, but further south, crossing a glacier with rope and crampons then followed a couloeur up to the Ridgeline from the south. Weather came in from the west so we had to scramble down early. Thank you for doing such a great film!
Thanks for watching! It's a great place 😁
You were blessed with good weather in the Winds this time. Many years ago on the way to Titcomb Basin I was in the most violent lightening/ thunder storm that lasted for hours at night and the next day a fast arriving front hailed on me. Each time going to Cirque of the Towers I had either occasional rain or snow or once the Cirque was in fog. The granite reminds me of the Sierra Nevada like Whitney or the back country of Yosemite. I had the Cirque all to myself for a little over an hour the first time there so also have fond memories of the wilderness available there. You have to be prepared for the unexpected in the Winds. Thanks for perhaps your finest video.
WOW. That's amazing! I get inspired by watching you younger folks climb mountains. I just summitted Mt. Washington, NH at 70--years not inches. It was just about my limit (it may have been over my limit). I love that sun protecting item that wraps around your baseball cap. Where can I get one? Thanks for sharing this incredible journey.
1121gsm Cut my teeth on “The Rock” back in the 50’s, and several times after. Then moved West and played on the taller ones. What it lacks in altitude it makes up in fierceness.
@@buckhorntx I know what you mean by "fierceness." I've learned that altitude (for me anyway) is not as important as terrain and grade. I've done Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Everest Base Camp, and Inca Trail (all of which are much higher than Mt. Washington) but they didn't turn my quads into mush. Mt. Gannett is not as tall as many Western peaks but, as Tristan said, it is the most difficult.
Amazing feat! Not envious but very appreciative that you carried us with you on that stunning climb.
cup of coffee & lemon yogurt - watching this video of a good guy you tuber climbing in my favorite mountain range in N America. It’s a wonderful 1/2 hr video in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming - great work, Tristan. exalt this one, you’re very best! Lou
Congratulations on this accomplishment! I’m glad you have an inReach device. Perhaps one day you can meet up with Foresty Forest and do a mountain trek together.
That'd be fun! Thanks for watching, as always.
I am definitely one of the 99% of your viewers who are much more comfortable hiking established trails and exploring less extreme locales than that climb presented. Thanks for taking me along on an adventure I would normally never consider. Great job, man. Sorry about the camera but I am sure this climb will be etched in your memory anyway.
That last part looked very difficult going up, I kept thinking that the trip down would be pretty sketchy and even more dangerous! Glad you made it down ok! Thanks for sharing, great video!
My hands were sweating when you summited, I'm definitely part of the 99.9 percent of people who have no business trying something like that. Amazing for sure, but I'll wait for you at camp. Thanks for this.
I'm definitely in that 99% at 64 years old, my heart dropped when he stood up on the summit! So incredible the views. I feel like I wasted my youth!
Absolutely honestly mind blowing-all it it. How you can look at something like this MASSIVE mtn with nothing but millions of rocks, and say-“I think im going to climb that to the peak”, is beyond impressive. Hilarious-when you called your father to tell him what you’re “up to”! Wayyyy up! You’re VERY humble about the talents and gifts you possess. Thank you again for such a fabulous video.
Congratulations on summiting Gannett. Thank you for taking me on the adventure with you. Spectacular!.
Tristan that was very impressive your channel is exceptional very similar to forestry forest who hikes many peaks and loves climbing and adventure cycling, both of you are characters of great presence and people of outstanding character who appreciate nature and act accordingly. Many blessings to you .
I loved going along with you on your climb!!! My muscles were tensed and I had a shortness of breath I think because of the high altitude....wait a minute... I never left my chair!!! lol ( little bit of humour from a 62 year old woman who use to do a bit of climbing)
You do amazing and you should be soooo proud of yourself!!! I wanted to do the victory yell with you on the peak!!!
Loved it!!!!!
I’m so afraid of heights that watching this makes me anxious. Thanks for sharing this with us. It’s amazing and terrifying. 🏔 🧗♀️😱 👏👏👏
Only one word: Wow!
Thanks for watching, Mike!
I can't like this enough! Spectacular! And had me squirming when you were up at the summit. I would be perfectly happy just to do the first part of the hike. That river valley was breathtaking and seriously rivals Yosemite. Well done!
You never disappoint. This may be you best video yet, what a trek.
Thank you for taking me with you. The view was awesome! I've been watching your videos for years and I don't know how I missed this one the first time around.
FABULOUS VIDEO !!! Congratulations on your summit.
Impressive! While watching this I kept saying out loud to myself "pack up that camera and use both hands on the rock scrambles!" But you made it! When I teach my grandkids simple climbing skills, I always tell them to make sure they have 3 points of contact on the rock at all times.
Fantastic! NOW I understand why climbers climb. To climb that and also film it? Wow! Tristan, really really impressive-and beautiful!
Congratulations!! What a view. Glad you made it back safely.
Thanks Bob!
What a scary! Awesome! Tingling Palms! Adventure. Absolutely beautiful! Once again, thank you for really great video and a wonder struck experience! I especially loved the clouds passing by while you were standing on the peak.
Bravo! Be proud of your accomplishment! I am one of those 99% that will never be able to climb that peak, so thank you for taking us along for the journey! Beautiful video!
Your videos are our favorite on you tube!! Amazing spots you take us!! As a photographer I envy your adventures!! Be safe!
So awesome, BUT, I would never do it. Way too scary. You did a amazing climb~
Congrats on scaling that monster! No way I could do that, but it was fun tagging along, so to speak.
Holy crap! I didn’t breathe while watching this. Your wife must be a wreck when you do these type of hikes. Bless you 🙏
Congratulations sir!! You are amazing!! My husband and I really enjoyed watching this. 💯💯 Your fan from Thailand. 🇹🇭🇹🇭
All your videos are so interesting but this one was spectacular. It was riveting! Congrats on an incredible ascent, wonderful human!
WOW! Amazing accomplishment! Great job videotaping. You really captured the ruggedness & difficulty. Loved the awesome views. Thanks.
Wow, what an incredible place. I was surprised to see what looked like a lack of wind when you summited. Seems that every time I hit the summit, I’m dealing with frigid, strong winds. Nature really cooperated on this trek. Great work!
Thank you for feeding my hunger for wilderness
Enjoyed your adventure. My husband and I spent our summer at the campground above Warren Bridge on the Green River. We fished below Green River Lakes. We got to fish with cows close by. The momma almost lost her calf in the river. We love to watch you fish. All you need is a recipe and invite us to dinner. Lol.
Thank you for making this video. It has helped me understand why the love of my life died on Pyramid Peak in Colorado back in 1983 after falling to his death on the way back down after summiting. I never really understood the passion. After seeing the beauty in your video, I now understand so much more of the calling of the mountains that took him from this life. Im so glad to know this now at age 64! Your passion has helped me greatly! Thank you!
I'm so sorry to hear that, Meca!
That was a beast of a hike! The Wind River Range is more beautiful than I knew. I appreciate the way you film these epic journeys and catch different points of view. I felt like I was standing on top and taking it all in. I loved seeing the glaciers on the opposite side of the peak. Just completely wonderful all the way around!!
Another great video!
Epic hike & video!
Totally awesome hike! Thanks for another great video!
Great video of the hike/climb up Gannett the best I've seen. You do a really god job of showing us what is involved in the hike. Really great accomplishment doing the mountain solo. Well looks like you have done all the most difficult state high points except Alaska of course. Was ok with doing this one myself until you got near the top and started the rock climbing that looked daunting. Looks like Grizzly country guess you had no encounters. Thanks for the well done video.
Thanks Mickey! Yeah, the scrambling up near the top might give a lot of people pause. It's not difficult, but you wouldn't want to slip or fall there. Yes, this is grizzly country, but I didn't see any black bears or grizzlies on this trip.
You look really tall at the summit up there! Spectacular! Yes, I'm one of 💯-1% of your audiences. Noticed that you unbuckled sternum strap and hip belt when you were river crossing. Learning many things to do in backcountry activities from you. 👀🏕🙏
I wish I could say I consciously did that, but it was just a result of needing to take the backpack off and on to put my shoes in it and take them back out 😁 Thanks for watching!
You’re amazing man. Beautiful footage.
Now I understand why the Native. American tribes who frequented this area so loved it!! Gorgeous!! Love all your videos. Easily the best on thenet!! Thank you.
Congrats on the summit. Blown away at the speed at which you clicked through those miles and vertical feet. An outstanding mix of content to boot!
Absolutely loved this, Thank you so much.
Just WOW !
THANKS.
Congrats my dude!! I adore your videos! Thank you so much.
Just WOW! Thank You for taking us along.
Wow! Amazing video. Thank you!
Many thanks, Tristan, for taking me along on this great trek. I climbed Gannett from Elkhart Park and Bonney Pass back in the summer of 1972. Summit Magazine asked me to do a writeup on it (Nov-Dec 1972 issue) since not many were doing this peak back in those days. I wish we had done your route, lots more challenging. I'm 85 yo now, so this kind of adventure is behind me, although I still manage a peak or two near my home here in the Adirondacks. I will be checking out some of your other videos to satisfy my still active wanderlust. Happy trails!
That's still beautiful country, no matter which way you approach the peak! Thanks for watching 👍
OMGoodness! Kudos to you!
Top notch videos. Thanks!
Congratulations!!!!!!
This was spectacular to watch! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing 🤓
I love the adventures you take us on! Nancy
Amazing climb! Wish you the best on all your climbing!
Great video!
Awesome job, great video.
Glad you had such good weather for your attempt. Some of my favorite hikes have been off trail. Can't wait until the next adventure you share with us.
This was amazing, thank you Tristan! You give me inspiration!
BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thanks so much for the awesome views!!!

Breathtaking
Very nice trip, thanks for the video record!!!
Breath taking !!!!!
Wow! What a beautiful view!
I'm not ashamed to say that I belong to the 99% of your audience that would not want to attempt to climb this mountain - Sure did enjoy your adventure though! I climbed Mt. Timpanogos 40 years ago as an 18 y/o college student, and that was not easy even back then. Keep 'em coming Tristan!
In a word, WOW!
Outstanding job!! Thank you so much for sharing your feat, this beauty, with all of us!
Incredible. Definitely be proud.
I can confirm I fall within the 99% not qualified for this, LOL. What an absolutely stunning area, thoroughly enjoyed watching this climb. Congrats on another high point!
WOW, What a video, what an adventure!!!!!
