Cloudveil Traverse: Exposed Ridgeline in Grand Teton National Park
Vložit

- 21 miles and 11,000 vertical ft of exposed ridge lines and rustic beauty in Grand Teton National Park. Few places are as awe inspiring as the Tetons and it's no surprise that you would find one of the greatest traverses within its borders. On a side note, I'd just like to say that friends don't let friends spend all day filming themselves with chocolate on their lips. Seriously, this is the third time I've had to edit an episode where I have crap on my teeth or lips! Time for a Mediocre team meeting.

I've spent a lot of time in the Tetons, and I'd be way more worried about being exposed to weather in running shorts, free soloing 4th and 5th class terrain, than I would be of bears haha.
Geoff Nielson bears are the last of their worries haha. Lucky to be alive
Giada_De_Low_Rent_Tits I totally agree but these guys have a lot of experience and I at least hope they’re making a more sober risk assessment in their head. They make videos for entertainment and I think part of their comedy comes from being seemingly nonchalant and cavalier about the dangerous, pain and suffering they go through in these videos. I would agree that a more serious disclaimer at the beginning of these videos talking about their years and years of experience and very real dangers of doing something like this without the right skills or training.
You guys scare the sh@t out of me. I don't know why I continue to subject myself to the stress of lying around and watching.
Last time I climbed in the Tetons it was 1983 and I left my climbing shoes somewhere on the Grand, I loved those RD's Another great video, I am always amazed at how fast you all climb.
You guys are video editing machines! Lots of great effects.
Breathtaking views!! Love your videos where I can traverse trails & mountains 🏔 sitting safely on my bed with my iPhone. Be safe. 🧗🏻♂️
Love the subtle joy and peaceful satisfaction on your faces at the end!
What a great adventure! I'd like to see a little more of the beautiful scenery that you traverse.
Love seeing your adventures, thanks for taking the time to film and share. I live in wyo and am a frequent winds and wasatch adventurer, so it's great to see what you guys do! Hopefully we link up sometime.
Your videos are consistently good. Gracias.
PS. How does the scrambling on this compare to the WURL? Harder? More exposed? Any tram restaurants to eat pizza in halfway through like on Hidden?
That's some scary awesome views! Nice one guys!
So good! Thanks for the dope video!
Thank you for sharing the exploit. Extra props for the Meddle music cameo!
you guys rock! thanks for sharing
Hiked the Tetons last summer! Love those mountains! Nothing like this though😳 awesome vid!
I'll definitely be looking into this one whenever I get out to Teton
Wow... You guys are amazing..
God, these videos stress me out but I can't stop watching them. I can't even fathom doing what these dudes do in these videos. Amazing stuff. ...but not for me. HA!
Great Video! And I think I heard the intro to "Childhoods end" by Pink floyd coming in around 5:30, great song!
"Nez purse" is how i've heard it. Jeeez 6k feet vertical in wildfire smoke though, hats off and beautiful vid.
bad ass beautiful video..... i wish my cardio and legs had it in them still LOL
lol these guys are honestly pretty accomplished free-soloists with this gannet and the cable on longs etc.
I'm always curious why someone would "dislike" a video like this. How did it not meet expectations? Where did it fail?
Awesome job, climbing and video. And "Fearless" as the closing tune. What's not to like?
Amazing views. 🏔
Whoah .. 3:36-3:37 looked pretty scary on that ice!
underrated channel
totally different style to your other videos. But I love it.
Love the music! Floyd rocks man
I know right! Childhood's End then Fearless!
You animals are entertaining to watch. Thank you
I would have run, hike, fall to my knees, vomit, vomit again, try to hike, try to run, vomit some more, and then cry a bit while I am vomiting of course. After my 3-mile adventure, I would have gone to my car at the lot and supplement my tired ass with a big mac while on the phone trying to make a reservation at Gun Barrel in Jackson Hole. Joking aside don't be fooled people, because these 3 guys are super-athlets and if you don't believe me just try to do a fast hike/scramble to Delta Lake, which is not even close to what these guys just did. RESPECT.
Ha! For the record I do vomit a lot and I also enjoy big macs. Thanks for the kudos!
Who doesn't? If some rocks above Amphitheater Lake could only talk! You guys are my fav mountain goats fo sho! Keep shredding and stay safe.
while they are extremely athletic, don't be fooled by their performance because they always do these extremely light weight trail runner style hikes with very little gear. Someone with a 40 lb pack will not accomplish this much, even though they might be just as athletic.
When did you guys do this trip? This was uploaded in October but I imagine it would be way more snowed in. I loved the Tetons when I went last but never got to do something like this! I'm so inspired! Wanna know when the best time to go would be to do a hike like this
STUDS!!!!
Awesome vid! Recently discovered your channel and it is great.
What's the song at the end? Sounds so familiar.
Thanks! It's a song by Pink Floyd called Fearless.
@@MediocreAmateur not a lot of people that I know of have even heard of Meddles. Super stoked that you picked a song from that album
Which one is pink?
If you haven't already, the great range traverse is probably the most fun you can have in New York State aside from the trap dike. You could easily do both in a weekend if you were so inclined
I find ridgelines like this scarier than steep climbs. My brain is not good when seeing huge drop offs
You guys got bionic feet.lol!!all hype up!! Envy you guys!!
I see you a few of you guys use the same running/hiking shoes, was wondering if you could tell me what they are! Looking t get a new pair, thanks
Zachary Hansen la sportive bushido my guy
We all had La Sportiva Mutants. I think they're the best overall shoe for technical terrain, but that is foot-dependent.
(i) Love how you BOTH have Brand new La Sportivas... Wanna Train for Denali ???
You guys are slightly nuts. But you know what you're doing! Serious exposure on class 4 at least. Yikes.
Most of the peaks they hit on this are rated at low 5 for their easiest route lmao
Nice Pink Floyd!
Watching you guys in 2020.. and you guys still don't have a helmet sponsorship :)
Oh yes, and agile.
Scary stuff..
At 5:55 looks super intense!
Good but you should have made it much longer for more detail. Thanks for sharing.
Seems passé when you actually drive to the trailhead rather than a helicopter journey!
my last climb in Tetons started at 3 AM to avoid ice and rock fall. finished ascent at 4 PM in white out. slept in snow cave for 3 weeks at 40 below zero. Try a night in upper saddle with lightning storm.
40 below in the Tetons??
@@adamedunn yes February
Why?
I remember being that clueless and adventurous. It’s called youth. Miss it but did survive it. Fortunately?
And it ends with pink Floyd. Amazing.
Lots of Pink Floyd in this episode.
I'm always amazed that you hump all your water and never seem to tank up with a filter at streams. Do you? Those RAID packs cant carry more than 3-4 liters. Burly work tho, scrambling low 5th class - congrats. I'd not recommend novices doing this.

I need to stop drinking and smoking

Dizzying.
