วีดีโอ

You’re beautiful, Liam

Thank you! I much prefer when people point the camera away from themselves too. For this video I had actually hiked it twice. The second time I had my friend film me with the drone on the pink slab. Just had to make sure I wore the same clothes!

Thanks! The larches are gorgeous up there

Thank you! Glad it helped. Honestly once I was in the clouds I randomly went upwards, definitely not the proper path! Was there much snow up there that late in the season?

​@@BCHiking Was crystal clear for me and we still chose a random route getting up the rock wall towards the golden door. Ended up discovering the gulley with the ropes after we were already on top. There had actually been some light snowfall Wednesday night but was mostly gone with the heat of the following days, other than that the only snow was the glacier to the east on the final approach!

Damn lucky! I didn’t even end up seeing the proper way on my way down. Glad you had a great time out there!

In this video, the iFootage Shark Slider Nano! It's a 2 axis motion controlled slider, but occasionally I'll use my DJI Ronin gimbal to follow me in activetrack. The slider has no follow function, but I manually set the timings of the movement, so I'll count in my head the seconds and speed up/slow down depending on how close I am to the end of the slide.

​@BCHiking Thats super cool! You don't find it too heavy to hike around with?

It’s heavy. With all my camera equipment (camera backpack, tripod, slider, gimbal, lenses, batteries, nd filters, photo camera and drone) it can get up to 15-20ish extra lbs of weight. I’m a decent amount slower with all that equipment (plus the time to go back and forth to record) so usually I’ll film stuff I’ve been to before and I’ll allot a lot of extra time to filming. I’ll also pare down the kit a bit depending on the objective. I’m usually a bit behind in my estimations so I end up coming down in the dark for ones I’ve never done before that I decide to film (Sir Donald, Pigeon Spire, Armchair). I’ve thought about bringing less and being lighter but when I’m motivated to make a video, I want it to be the best version that I can possibly create at that time. I could just upload GoPro/iPhone footage but I’m personally not interested in seeing that myself, and wouldn’t be excited to edit the footage.

Thanks! I used a Blackmagic Pocket 4K with the Lumix 8-18 and 12-35. I have the Peak Design travel tripod with the IFootage Shark Slider Nano 2 axis motion controlled slider with a fairly lightweight Smallrig ball head mount. Then for ND’s I have the NISI IRND’s 3 and 6 stop filters (most Blackmagic’s suffers from IR pollution pretty badly). For audio it’s just a Rode videomic NTG on the top.

Thank you! Yeah probably added an extra 3-4 hours filming

What’s up brother

You can call me pookie bear anytime. I need to make an SWBC hiking onlyfans

Thanks!

It’s a lot of extra effort for sure. But it’s all worth it when you get nice comments like this one :)

Thanks! Hope the information helps

Thanks man. Hope you enjoyed

You're welcome! Glad you appreciate the effort haha

Thanks! I'll get it out in a few weeks

Thanks! The equipment is heavy but makes for better footage than what I usually see online. And yeah all solo unless I'm hiking with a buddy!

Thanks man. Sometimes my stuff gets heavy but when you leave nice comments it makes it all worth it :)

Thanks! I'll try to get more videos out, but they take time

Yeah! I noticed I could see my shadow on the ridge line, so thought it looked cool haha

Thanks Rob. Wanna do the West Coast trail or Golden Hinde on the island next year?

@@BCHiking yes absolutely

Thanks! I got a new camera, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6k Full Frame. Have been sort of considering the Panasonic S9 for this type of stuff, it would be a lot lighter but not sure of the image quality of that tiny cam.

Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame! Just got it recently, and have paired it with the Canon 16-35mm F4. And sure if you like scrambling I'll be doing lots more next summer

@@BCHiking oh wow that's quite dedicated to bring that out there! Yes I may be in canada next summer (currently Arctic sweden filming paragliding hike n fly adventures) I sure do like a scramble :)

@@JamesFromCanada Sounds super fun!

Thanks! They were fun sections to go up and down for the camera

@@BCHikingHave you ever checked out the Crown couloir route? It’s a class 4 scramble up the north face of Crown Mountain from Hanes valley, seems like it would be right up your alley. Anyways, I can’t wait to see what you climb next!

Yup! Check out the end of my video, I have a preview of when I did it last year. I just have to sit down and edit it now

@@BCHiking haha i totally skipped over the ending part. Excited to see it!

Yeah I'll probably go up there next year with my friends who have the summer edge card. Won't sleep in next year so I'll hopefully have time to do Spearhead too.

@@BCHiking Yeah it's tough with the race to get back to Gondola. I did the loop summiting blackcomb then spearhead then back down DOA in about 5 hours. Crazy to hear you did this in 5 hours AND filmed it! Beastmode lol

@@saulsigalov Haha it goes by fast when you don't have to faff with ropes

I used to ski as a kid at Sun Peaks! Would love to get up there again, so I'll add Monashee Lake with Severide and the Pinnacles to the list.

Hey! I just used a rode video mic NTG mounted to the top of the camera

Haha lots of people were scrambling it that day. Had some guy pass me at the BS col and by the time I was halfway to pigeon he had climbed up and down and was on his way to solo the Kain route up Bugaboo Spire

About double the length, and maybe double the difficulty in scrambling? Not an easy one that’s for sure

@@BCHiking oh geez, really??

A big step up from black tusk imo! Between the possible glacier travel, distance and remoteness and route finding I’d say this is on a similar level to Robie Reid in difficulty. Less scrambling but more elevation gain!

@@BCHiking ok but specifically the scrambling from west summit to the main one how difficult is that compared to say the black tusk chimney?

@@brookmc5076 Hmm. Hard to compare. The scrambling in the Black Tusk chimney is easy, but loose. The scrambling to the main summit of Castle Towers was more solid, but I'd say it was harder. Maybe a bit harder than the West Lion scramble, mostly from the routefinding.

Sure, my Instagram is brandon_crema. Feel free to send me a message!

@@BCHikingjust sent one!

Thanks! I used a Blackmagic pocket 4k with the Lumix 8-18mm.

Looking to make a trip out there it would be sick if you could give me your route map or beta for the Eastpost

@@Mason11717 Hey! I didn't record a GPS file this trip, but it's very straightforward from the campsite. You continue up the hill past the lake where you get water, and go up the gully. Then just scramble up the, and skirt around the opposite side (side of the mountain that's further away from applebee) then go up another (looseish) gully to reach the summit.

@@BCHiking ok sweet thanks and can it be done in a long day?

Car to car

@@Mason11717 Yeah it wouldn't be unreasonable to do so! The drive in is about an hour from the highway though, so make sure to factor that in too

Thank you for watching!

You should wear a helmet. Thanks for watching, Mr experience!

He's also holding his ice axe backwards on the glacier... not much point carrying one if you don't know how to self arrest

Haha yup. The pick was gone. Hope you were entertained

Didn’t see any bears when I went, but I know they’re in the area!

I think around 6-7 hours

Thanks! I used the IFootage shark slider nano. It’s a 2 axis slider and I put it on the Peak Design travel tripod

It’s pretty good! One of my favourite hikes in the Garibaldi area

Felt a little hellish on the boulder fields below the summit haha

@@BCHiking yeah I can imagine, how long are you hiking on boulders for?

@@P_I_geon_B0y Only about an hour and a half. The short scramble at the end makes up for it though!

😂

Was going to use it to rappel the BS col for pigeon but ended up not using it at all and just did this hike instead

Maybe, would have to suss out the route first. I’m more interested in Mt garabaldi before the ski resort gets built on it!
