Mount Jefferson: Skiing in the Summer and Who Wants a GoPro?

- Sorry for the spammy title I couldn’t resist, but seriously there’s a GoPro Hero 6 on Mount Jefferson that fell out of my waist belt and down Milk Glacier. It wasn’t the only bad thing to happen on our trip to one of Oregons most extinct volcanoes. Christof and I were constantly reminded that things never go as smooth as you would hope. But in the end, I think it all worked out rather well. Except for the GoPro of course.
"Couldn't see the mountain, trail seemed like it went on forever"
Sounds like the Mt. Jefferson wilderness to me hahahahaha
“We left this parking lot boys, and we returned almost men”. LOL
This traverse is no joke and to be able to do it and film it with such great views and angles is a testament to the skill of these guys. Jefferson may not be the highest mountain to climb but its it probably the most nerve wrecking on that traverse around to the summit push.
Great job, you guys brought a drone. Like you didn't already have enough to carry on your backs. This is absolutely brilliant. Worth losing a GoPro.
Christof skiing with the drone shots, A++
Man you guys needed to go a year later, hiked through there in May 2019 and there was a section on the PCT maybe a mile and a half south of the Pamelia Lake trail junction that was wiped clear or the brush and trees by avalanche. You could have hiked straight up to the top of the tree line.
NEVER a dull adventure. NEVER! Stunning scenery perfectly shot and great repartee/banter, as usual. So sorry about the GoPro. Hopefully some good Samaritan will see your post and keep an eye out for you.
Beautiful video. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on CZcams.
Impenetrable Bush... Snort LMFAO Great vids
Sounds like an odor issue.
I've been binge watching all your videos for a couple weeks now, and this one might have the best one liners lol. Keep up the adventures, this is my new favorite youtube channel hands down!
Dude, you guys are Pro! Thanks again Danny!
Really digging this channel. I’m happy I discovered it. Thank you guys!!
Beautiful video. Great shots from up on the mountain. Beautiful at 8:10 of distant peaks. Very clear day and great clear camera lens. Drone shots are nice. Some dangerous crossings too. Thanks for sharing.
Losing a GoPro is almost mandatory if you're going to adventure.
Super vids. Cool, fast-paced, well-narrated, funny. Love 'em.
You are Rockstars!!
Favorite video of all I've seen!! Wow!!
The MA's deserve hard won praise, in offering the most up front comprehensive on the web, for backcountry endurance sports. This includes all of it, from route descriptions to psychological factors that determine the ground rules for what real time challenges might arise. Superb video, audio, and editing - over the top!
You guys are phenomenal. These traverses... skiing was nice too. Fantastic.
Thanks!
Beautiful music!!
Thanks! I am proud of
You are humanbeing same as me!!
Very nice video. My wife and I were there 2 years ago as well, having the same issue, but decided to continue up through the bushes, which took so much energy out of us that we never made it to the summit. This was the first mountain we climbed after arriving there from Austria for our summer holiday which included Rainier as well. Being used to perfectly groomed routes on every mountain in the Alps it made us a bit nervous for the other mountains, but luckily it only got better after Jefferson :) after seeing this video we at least don't feel like idiots anymore for not being able to find the "trail"
"We left this parking lot boys, and returned almost men". :-D I like the eclectic soundtrack from classical to electronica...
“It’s 4:20…somewhere” I love this channel 😂
these videos are incredibly well put together, also awesome that you guys are from salt lake!
My 11 year old daughter said, "At least HE didn't tumble down that glacier".
Was on a rescue/recovery on Jefferson's SW ridge recently and thought about you guys during that miserable steep bushwhacking. It was infuriating. And also about your GoPro on the Milk Glacier. Stay safe out there.
Best way to induct the new guy 🤔😱😤😭👍🏽👣👣👣👣🏔 great video, sorry to hear about the Go-Pro
Gnarly traverses! Glad you go to ski some nice corn snow.
Just watching you guys is plenty of adventure for me haha
By far the best video of Mount Jefferson on CZcams!
Thanks again. I appreciate all your comments.
OH NO!! I love how yes all the rocks look exactly like a gopro, because this is the issue I have when looking for a lost fly mask, grazing muzzle, or hoof boot for my horses in the horse pasture (manure looks exactly like what I am looking for, as well!)
Had the same deal with my watch. Got hooked on my backpack strap while taking it off and stood and watched as my watch slid across a boulder into a ravine. Climbed down but never found it.
We are headed up there this summer. Will keep an eye out for the go pro 😁
This was a cool thing to watch and now I wanna do the peak! Great job!
It was one of the more challenging peaks that we've done. Might be a little easier late summer. Thanks for watching.
very surprised yall dont have more subs. love the vids!
Really enjoying your channel guys!
Best reality show 👌🍀😎 so good
The mediocre amateurs are neither mediocre nor amateurs. Love these videos.
When I recommend this channel I say "Mediocre Amateurs of which they are neither."
Waiting for you guys to hit Mount Blanc in France that would be a really good video.
Beautiful footage
I lost my camera in a cordura bag the same size and color as the ROCK FIELD I dropped it into. MIraculously I found it in one piece. A bit 'o' foam lined the bag (no bigger than a compact camera) and it musta done the job. I still have it! (from 1992)
4:20 This is exactly how black lassic is in northern California, except a lot smaller. you see it the whole time and are right at the base but have to walk around the entire mountain for the easiest ascent. I did it when there was 3 foot of heavy wet pow in some places in my snowboard boots. its a sick "little" mountain almost 6k. Looks like a cone volcano too but is an exotic terrain that was once seabed
Those traverses are scary, but telling the missus you lost the GoPro is the scariest thing. Lol
Guys you should come to India sometime.Lots of good 7000mt mountains up here.Love your videos.
Plus there is plenty of the impenetrable bush.
Really cool videos on your channel, this included. I've wondered for a couple years what skiing Jefferson might look like and it's nice to have some insight. Beautiful drone footage. The aerial shots take these videos to the next level, but keep an eye out for wilderness regulations! Drones aren't allowed in designated wilderness areas, which Jefferson is inside of. Keep up the sick videos.
Thanks for watching! Don't worry I launched my drone from the Non Wilderness side of the south ridge where the Warm Springs Reservation butts up against the wilderness. I've tried my best to follow the wilderness rule, ever since I discovered its existence.
Classical music pieces, I think mesh extremely well with the hurdles you go through guys. Complete antithesis.
Your videos are the best on CZcams!
I have a North Face Inferno -40 Goretex bag which I use about 1ce every 10 years. Last year I slept in a small sailboat in December. It was.. good.. but I wasn't overheated.
Wah, wah wah......Oregonians Just do it!!! (Where do you think Nike picked it up!) 👍 Glad to see you back on track!
Reminds me of when I took my skis for a hike up Shasta.
I feel your GoPro pain... Lost a couple over the years as well. One underneath the royal gorge bridge in Taos, NM and one under the bridge in twin falls Idaho. One would have to go swimming to recover them but anyone is welcome to them :-)
Criminally underrated channel.
Manzanita! I lost my bike in that stuff. Stashed it in there, couldn't find it when I came out 5 days later. It was at the Pamelia Lake trailhead. (Found the bike eventually)
Wonderful drone footage!
Thanks!
I was so hoping for a happy ending. All the work you put into sharing your adventures with us mortals, I figured your karma account was full and you definitely deserved a break. The fact that it's still out there to be found...is that in any way an incentive for me to go up there and find it... wait for it....drum roll...the envelope please... in a word... NO
Dear KrazyKrzysztof, I’m writing here with hope that this message finds you in good health. I’m a big fan you. And I really really miss the product reviews you made back when your channel was active. It’s hard to choose a favorite one but the I bought 3 Turtlebeach 400X headphones after thoroughly watching your review on it. If you read this please let us know how have you been. Again, thanks a million.
You get a thumbs up just for the terrific description of the bathroom proximity phenomenon!
Can you do song credits on your video descriptions? You have good playlists, would love to be able to find the songs.
We attempted the SW ridge a few days ago and got through where you guys were shut down. I guess the key is to try a bit earlier in the year before it grows to thick, or maybe we just got lucky. But that doesn't mean that there was a great deal of profanity on that day!
I'm happy just to know that it's possible. Sometimes the Beta needs more context.
No bush whacking in OR. :) It’s brutal. Great work guys. I just started watching. It’s awesome. Have you done the St Helens circumnavigation? It’s a blast.
Actually, Milk Creek Glacier is long melted away and is no more... it is still on the maps, but just bare rock resides there during periods of low snow in late September/early October.
Very enjoyable episode. Hope you survived the ire from your better half over the lost Go-Pro.
Thanks! Just bought a new one after swearing not to lose or break it.
@@MediocreAmateur 3 years later. So how is that going?
Ive heard that Shale lake or Coyote lake are great places to make base camp at. They have established sites and are right at the tree line on the PCT. Also might find a common footpath up that south ridge. Nice traverse on Jefferson Park Glacier, but man, you made me nervous with the time of day you crossed back.
You're right about being nervous. I had been told on Hood not to get caught out near the summit as the day heated up. I learned why on Jefferson. I think we crossed back as late as you would want to. The rocks started rolling right as we were halfway through the crossing.
@@MediocreAmateur you ever in Oregon and want a classic mediocre amateur sufferfest, do the 3 Sisters summit marathon. I've done them individually, but I've heard it's one of the hardest traverses in the Oregon Cascades
@@drewwatts2803 I would love for them to do that. I'm sure it's on their list. Partly I just want some good footage for the summit of North Sister, similar to how this one provides some good footage for the summit of Jefferson. Jefferson and NS are def the two hardest cascade volcanoes. Unless you get altitude sickness I guess...
Would love to go on one of your adventures.
where do you get the shoulder strap water bottle holder? better than taking off the pack to get it
Great video. Solid trek. Traverse looked sketchy as. What do you do about bears raiding your camp while you sleep? In aus the snakes can't get into your tent
Can you post the list of supplies needed? Thanks!
I'm going to Jefferson next month to find three things:
-The GoPro
-Danny's sanity
-The correct route off of the PCT and up the SW ridge.
I could use your help with the third. Seriously, looks like leaving the PCT where the lower bit of the ridge intersects the trail is the right move. I know there was an avy that cleared the way near there last year, but I'm not real keen on hiking up a known slide path. Do you think your summer attempt was thwarted just by virtue of being too late in the season? Too much growth? Any idea if May might be better in that regard? And is my approximation for where to leave the PCT about right?
Hoping to do this shortly. Can't make out from the video but did you ski down the Milk Creek glacier?
These guys make me want to stay home.
I love the classical music
Oh dang, a big agnes tent.
Tried Jefferson 2 time's went up that debree field FML. Was turned 2 time's at saddle.
Have lost a good camera and a GPS watch under similar circumstances, so: sympathies!
good ole Rage Headache. been there a few times.
Next time try the east side. Jeff Park is a stroll. Good aspects for laps.
This one looks so much easier than Borah but its actually a lot more dangerous. Maybe the route is not as masterful as the dirty traverse, maybe winter conditions make it a lot more demanding.
Whenever I entertain an idea to emulate any of your 'hikes', I immediately lay down until the feeling subsides...which is usually measured in seconds. Did I mention that I just turned my thermostat up a little, I thought I was detecting a little draft. Hey sweetheart, can you make those eggs over easy and my back is just a little sore
10:32 typical summit feels 🤣
lol, I missed that little gesture.
How does one apply for an internship?
Shouldn’t you guys have roped up together on that traverse?
My favorite mountain 🏔️
Haven't we all hit walls of impenetrable bush? In one way or another? At various points in our lives??
A great lifetime adventure your grand kids will be talking about it boasting; my grandfather and his friend skied Mount Jefferson back in the summer of 2018 here’s the CZcams video to prove it
Do you ever see hot springs or steam vents when climbing cascades volcanoes ?
humble question: are drones allowed up there?
Wall of impenetrable bush.. lmfao 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤘🔥🤘
Packing skis in his heavy work!
Yeah, losing that GoPro sucks for sure.
What's that song at 2:10? I've heard you guys play it multiple times. Shazam isnt giving me the right results.

I agree Danny if you want to known what's trendy just check out christov.
If you want to know what Dynafit are selling in their clothing range check out christov.
His wife must allow him loads of pocket money.
Great video keep buying that gear guys it makes us all happy and very jealous 👍👍👍🇬🇧
I want a go pro lol
This episode reminds me of my brother but I get it! The agenda goes sideways and angers you but you are SO SPOILED with all you get to do that you miss the shear joy and beauty of where are! I became disabled for life out of nowhere 3 yrs ago at age 60 and I would give just about anything just to walk into and sit for awhile in just about any one of these places that you guys go to! Just to sit and look out from the top of a mountain out in the Rockies one more time! It's so true, you don't know what you have until it's gone!
Nice vid, thanks for posting. Pretty good for a couple of mediocre amateurs. Cheers.
In the mountains we always need a zero degree or minus degree sleeping bag or yes we get cold just saying
If it makes yall feel any better, Jefferson is a BITCH! Took me twice to summit it, and it is by far the scariest climb I have ever done by the difficulty and danger metric (almost died in a freak storm on Grand Teton, so that takes the cake, but not due to a scary and dangerous climb), and I have climbed the 20 Primary Cascade Volcanoes. My dad has been on it five times and only summited twice. I have a number of other friends who have climbed it, and not a single one has had a good experience. This peak blows man - glad you got it done on your first try! Sorry about the GoPro :(
Rage-ohol is a Norm Macdonald tribute i think
Bro what pants are those, the blue ones
I would get sooo lost if I went on an off-trail bushwhack.
멋있다!!!!
Love your Videos ! But honest question, is the bushwhack allowed in the US? In Germany it get fined sooo much 😂
Best wishes from Germany
It depends upon where you are. Allowed in most of the lesser-regulated areas. Severely frowned upon, or explicitly against the rules, in places like national parks and more sensitive areas.
I really dig your videos, you guys obviously have some skill with editing and cinematography. I'm curious though, has the Forest Service changed its regulations concerning Drones? Last I heard it's super illegal to fly one in National Parks and Forests, apparently they're concerned about them falling out of the sky and starting a wildfire.
Nicolas Reed drones are prohibited in national parks and wilderness areas (not national forests), although they may be flown over as long as they are launched outside the boundaries. Jefferson is split down the middle with one side being Indian reservation, thus allowing Danny to launch outside wilderness and capture some footage.
Danny often spends more time pouring over maps to make sure he can fly the drone legally than he does researching the route:)
