    I've been all over that country, having grown up in Montrose, just 60 miles to the south. Never been that far up Rough Canyon, though I've been to the Mica Mine many times. It's great to see some of my old stomping grounds! Thanks!

    This was a "hidden gem" of an adventure if I've ever seen one. Thanks for letting us mortals into your world 👏👏👏

    That looked amazing. I think for myself just going to the knife edge would be a great time. Going to the mountains with my son this weekend. Couple of hikes and a class 3 scramble. Good to get out of the city. Take care.

    Oooh that lemon 🍋 squeeze is snug and technical, say nothing of the knife edge and tiny handhold overlooking a height of extreme sheerness! Yikes, you took our breath away!

    Great one Karl. Almost too scary to even watch.

      Hey thanks Ron, a really surreal adventure when all the various challenges are taken into account, that's my take anyway! Appreciate it 👍

    You know it’s a tight squeeze when you have to take the sunglasses 🕶️ off! I kept thinking about that movie “127 Hours” with you alone in that cave. Thanks for bringing us along… 😊

      Yessir! My pleasure 😎😎, the recon test 2 days earlier without the headlamp was quite the experience!

    You knocked this one out of the park Karl, very well done, money shot after money shot. Good job showing the little down climb part after you exit the squeezer, the sketchiest part I think. A grand day out!

      Really appreciate that brother! Considering how close this was to the homestead, it was a banger. Very worthy adventure 💪💪!!

    This video is beyond awesome! I genuinely hope that someday I'll have the chance to meet you on the trails. Your videos never fail to inspire me to embark on new adventures and try climbs I never thought I could do. Keep up the incredible work, Karl!
