    36:40 "Nice little bridge..."
    Immediately cleared the clog under it. Wow. Post's reflexes for finding clogs is so fast.
    Also I miss hiking. This brought back memories of one of the hardest hikes I did, so many rocks along the trail but was worth it.

      It’s not so hard to do, it depends a lot of the quality of the rubber boots. I use them when berry picking and usually walking distances are many kilometers during it when changing from spot to another. Post10 has good quality rubber boots.

    Post I have climbed this many times. The “lower level” is where those three metal doors were - there is a cafeteria, facilities, some sitting area and a small museum/gift store below. You didn’t miss out on much, but it is pretty cool that all that stuff is up on top of the mountain like that. I Love how empty it was up there. Thanks for taking us on all these adventures.

    Fascinating stuff man. I could almost imagine you were on a Scottish mountain. I worked the railways here in England for 25 years and those rails on the cog railway or "rack and pinion" as we call them here, are flat bottom rails fixed to the wooden stretchers or sleepers with "padrol" clips. Great video and a real adventure on the mountain trail😉👍👍👍

    "At some point in the early 1800s Arthur Wellesley, then Viscount Wellington, asked his shoemaker, Mr George Hoby of St James's Street, London, to make a boot which was easier to wear with the new trousers. Hoby removed the tassel and cut the boots lower to make them more comfortable for riding.
    Even before his great victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Wellington was on his way to becoming a fashion icon. By 1813, and the victory at the Battle of Vittoria, Wellington’s fame led others to start wearing this new style of boot. They duly became known as ‘Wellingtons’."

    I was just about to mention the fastest wind recorded on Earth on the mountain but you did it for me, thanks mate.
    I remember Richard Hammond (most famous to you guys for Top Gear and The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime) did a documentary series about wild weather back in 2014 and visited the mountain in the middle of winter.
    He had to WRAP UP, everything covered up, and he went outside onto that summit when it was sporting 65mph winds and -50 degrees F!

    That scramble! Holy smokes, and you in your rubber boots! That's quite an achievement, it must have felt so good up there. Also the thought of someone descending using the Huntington Ravine trail is absolutely terrifying.

    Great video, thank you. I can't believe you hiked Huntington in rubber boots!
