- This is a Convenient and Perfect Intro Hike for novices and/or Winter trips to Colorado's High Peaks as well as a mellow hike from the Loveland Pass parking area.
I am still editing 3 more epic 14'er mountain climbing adventures featuring dji drone footage, but I wanted to post this quickly for the visitors I climbed with but, you can expect the Adventure to continue with several more Challenging trips to come. . . .
I met a Bachelor's Party of guys from, originally, Wisconsin. They were great guys and climbed extremely fast for being from almost sea level a day or two earlier, not to mention they weren't experienced, "Climbers!" Nice Job Brothers! I hope this servers to always remind you of your incredible experience here in Colorado!
Cheers Karl

This turned out amazing! Nice footage and editing and thanks for including us!
I'm psyched you enjoyed it!!! I was pleased you guys included me as well. If you or your friends are interested I'd document any cool exciting trip you can think of, my channel may give you some ideas??? like that hike in AZ you did, that would be SICK with drone footage. My favorite shot you got was that quick clip of your feet dangling over the abyss. . . well the stingray roaring was cool too! Cheers Man!
Thank you for the adventure. ❤️
Thank you for joining me Bridgett. . . can I ask you where you're from? Do you have special places around your home?
Beautiful! I don't think you can run out of peaks to climb in Colorado!
Thanks! You're right, the adventures are all over the front range, appreciate it
Your ability to capture stunning images on all these adventures blows my mind Karl!! Thanks for that👍👍👍
Thanks Man! This is a hike I think you would enjoy but, the last 400' of vert are steep and loose, tracking poles would be key!
Fantastic, my friend !!! You are number one :-) :-)
You are the man! Heading to the doctor to get the bandages OFF for the first look! It feels surprisingly good!
Fantastic production, as always, Karl. Beautiful drone footage and great music. So many nice hiking options on Loveland Pass. BTW, the turn option at the first large cairn toward Grizzly Peak would be heading EAST southeast, not west southwest. Keep up the good work!
Thanks much, and appreciate your pointing out that error. Karl 👍
Did this a few weeks ago. Definitely the most fun of the 3 peaks on Loveland Pass
It was a good way to test the waters with my broken wing. . .getting surgery tomorrow to repair a ruptured biceps ligament in my left elbow. I was surprisingly mobile, so much so I climbed an easy class 4 route on Mt. Lindsey and the Iron Nipple! last Tuesday, no problemo. . . It was truly magic for me, many surprises! I think I'll be hiking big mountains again around 2 months after surgery. Jason, if you would like to do a hike with an old guy who is somewhat out of shape I'd like to meet you? I will be cranking on the exercise bike as soon as I can after the operation. . . I'll need a babysitter but, I think I could also share a wealth of mountaineering and rock climbing knowledge with you if your'e interested. . . and document our trip of course. I have always appreciated your support and encouragement.
@@KarlDeckerPresents I’d love to hit a trail with you. My only concern is I know I’d be a lot slower than you. I know I could learn a wealth of knowledge from you. One of my biggest fears is exposure on hikes which I know you could help me became more comfortable with.
@@jasonthomas16 between my just completed surgery, went perfectly, and the playing with cameras I think it will work out great. Those guys from Wisconsin were slowly catching up with me while I set up and flew the drone. . . Would you want a class 2 or 3 climb. . . Anything you’ve been looking to get on? In a month or 2.
@@KarlDeckerPresents congrats on the successful surgery. One hike I’ve wanted to do for a while but have been apprehensive about doing on my own is Mount Audubon to Paiute. I’ve hiked Audubon a few times but never traversed over to a Paiute. Probably an easy day for you hahaha. Let me know the best way to stay in touch in the meantime or if there is another hike you want to do instead.
Incredible!!
Honestly, that was the most mellow hike I took all year. Please come visit some recent adventures and you’ll see what I mean, you won’t be disappointed!
Did this hike yesterday (Monday). Beautiful day and i was the only one on the trail. Really enjoyed it. Want to check out some other easier/safe winter hiking 13er. Thinking about doing Atlantic or Fletcher
I totally agree. I would recommend Atlantic by the way we came down in the last video I posted. Drift is also good, I believe that is really the peak you’re referring to, they are close but to get to Fletcher there is a bit of class five climbing. My short term cure was go to Las Vegas, it was actually pretty warm. You’ll see you in a few weeks. Cheers
I meant Fletcher from Blue Lake side, but Drift looks doable in winter too from Mayflower TH. Have a good time in Vegas bud
Was it super windy and chilly?
Took my dogs to Grizzly, little guy almost got blown off in the notch half way up. Keep the little ones leashed hahaha
It can get extremely windy up there, know what you mean!
At 8 minute mark you mention the mountain is Fletcher.. Is there another Fletcher besides the one west of Quandary? I think the one you had pointed at would be Hagar. Regardless, awesome videos, binge watching now. haha Do you every go up into the Never Summers?
You are definitely right about Hagar, oops! Thanks for checking it all out. I hope you're getting some great trip Ideas. Amazing you found a class 3 route onto the citadel, that thing was a beast! I was pretty focused on the standard route but there did not appear to be too many weaknesses! Love chatting routes, please don't be a stranger! I have, Iron Nipple, Columbia Point, Huron Peak and N Apostle & Ice Mountain trips to publish next. . .
Cheers Brother, great to meet a true fellow climber!
Would be fun to see you two do some hikes together. Watched Jamie on another hiking channel and he is a strong hiker much like Spencer
a dog dashing thru at 8:25
🆒👍
Loveland Colorado ✝️ pass.
Thanks again for watching!
How long did it take?
Guessing about 3.5 hrs for me, with downtime for filming, etc. But I'm not average. All trails says allot 5 hrs. RT
What month was this?
July of '21
Is it less windy in July? I was just at Loveland Pass recently and summited Sniktau and Cupid and the winds were cold and fast.
The wind is pretty random, although it is stronger in the winter. You can only really just checked the forecast.
Can a dog handle this? Shorthair pointer?
I think so, the final headwall of grizzly is looser talus but not particularly sharp or steep. Have fun!
