A Grueling Two Day Trip to Mt. Conrad - BC, Canada

  • I meet up with my friend Rob W. for a ski trip into the BC backcountry. I started planning this route over two years ago after discovering a trail leading to the glacier... the purpose of this trail seemed to be for mining, not mountaineering. Searching the internet lead to no results in terms of climbing up the mountain itself, so there was only one way to find out if it would actually work! I had hoped to recruit two others to join me, but had trouble finding partners midweek. Big thanks to Rob for meeting up and bringing along his many, many years of mountaineering experience!

      It’s because he has chosen to remain ad free basically, and thus the Utube algorithm doesn’t push him out to the masses. He has put his morals ahead of his bank account.

      And nearly every single video on Foresty's channel gets over 100,000 views, which is extremely important to AdSense.
      A channel can have a million subscribers, but if their videos only average a few thousand views per video, that content creator is not making nearly as much money per video as Foresty does.
      He may not have a million subscribers yet, but the number of views that he gets on each video is phenomenal!!

      One of the sad parts about the shrinking wild spaces and species.
      So many people alive today never saw them, and thus have little appreciation of the beauty that’s irretrievably lost. So, they also have less motivation to preserve what we have now.

    Those water crossings made me feel cold, even while watching from my warm house. And as usual, Rocko is the star.

    Shout out to Warren Miller! As a teenager in the 1980 we saw him live at the Santa Monica Municipal theatre. Another well done trek!
