Knowing how the rock is an AZ I wouldn’t feel comfortable grabbing on to anything with how’s crumbly everything is.

I've seen the movie free solo, this is hiking.

"Overgrown"? Is it even a trail at that point? If not, that's just grown. Interesting to see all the different approaches to Pyramid! I'll be scrambling straight up from Aloha to start the Crystal Range traverse next week.

Thanks, planning on hiking this when I'm in the area. I might've been stuck if I didn't see this vid.

Well done. I'm considering it. Looking like some fall exposure. Might be too sketchy for me. My plan is to start up and turn around if at any point it gets to be out of my comfort zone.

Great vid

Awesome

How was the road up to the trailhead? I have a low clearance vehicle. Thanks!!!

I realize as you do more miles that adding a few more is no big deal. But if you want a luxury, park your car at the BA trailhead, call the Xanterra taxi to bring you to the SK trailhead. It is $15 for a single person last time I went. I think each additional person is $5 more. Then you get all your miles just in the Canyon and not running to/from car. You top out and you are right at your car. No bus crowd to deal with. The highest luxury is just getting a room at BA lodge. Topping out and going straight into a shower and meal is incredible.

As someone who gets scared of class 3s these are always fun to watch. Would love to see views looking down on (or amongst) some jagged rocks in person someday!

Warch out for the mogo monster

Love the content

Third day camp way 😂

On my list

The 9 Peaks Challenge is another way to tackle this one, possible to loop but easier to hitchhike from end of trail back to car, as I did. I true ultra iron man named Rick Kent once made it the 17 Peaks Challenge, by adding on all the peaks of Yucaipa Ridge as a dayhike.

The only real hiking I've done was Twin Sisters in Colorado. It was great. Your channel is awsome. I'm going to try some of the hikes you have done. Some are way out of my leave yet though.

It's been a childhood dream to summit Weaver's needle. Thanks for taking us there. My dad would have loved to seen this video.

I believe it is called halfway camp because it is half way to high creek camp.

You'd probably like the South Fork or Fish Creek Trail to the Summit of San G

Great job - that's one I've been wanting to try

Really cool video - jealous. But, if you're going to complain about tourists then maybe don't take rides from them? Not a good look.

12:19 It is not an aggression. This way she stimulates lactation. ;-) Nice video! Thank you!

Great job.

No class 4 on Mt Muir if you are on route, but you can easily veer into class 4 if you do not recognize good routes. It's not hard class 3 climbing. There are places with exposure, but the climbing is easy. Once you have done true class 4 routes, you know the difference. Class 4 routes involve harder moves as well as exposure. Heck, class 2 can have significant exposure, so exposure is not the sole factor.

GREAT VIDEO ON CLIMBING WEAVER'S NEEDLE. SOUND LIKE YOUR ONE BIG CRY BABY ON HIKING. LOT'S OF CRYING AND COMPLLAINING ABOUT YOUR EQUIPMENT. MY BACKPACK TO HEAVY, ROPE IS HARD TO UNTANGLE, NOW I HAVE ROLL THE ROPE UP. CRY CRY CRY. STAY HOME BABY.

Awesome! You did it so fast! How long do you think it would take hiking at a moderate to fast pace? 7-8 hours?

Man! What’s up with all that people in Wirepass ? 😳 was that a weekend? I went down Wirepass to Buckskin twice last year, first time there was a ladder, second time there was only a rope, the ladder was washed away. I need to try the route you took in this video sometime soon seems a lot of fun 😎. Just need to work the logistics of getting back to my car 😬

Hi Kevin! Cottonwood Canyon Rd is C-R-A-Z-Y !! 🤘🤘🤩🤩 I totally love it, it’s my favorite route when going to Panguitch/Bryce Canyon🤘 You’re right, there was another route up there, but nothing is saving you from that steep climb 🥵🥵 If I am not mistaken, the road going east at or near that parking lot is the one that takes you to the White Hoodoos 🤘😎 Did you check Lower Hackberry Canyon or The Cottonwood Canyon Narrows?

Very nice

Cool! I’ve got to make it to Utah

I got to get out there. Stav climbed Castle Rock in March, has report on it, says class 2-3. He also climbed something called Mollie's Nipple in that area, not sure if that's the other feature you were pointing out.

Do you recommend going counter clockwise?

What time in the day did you summit?

Loving the last few hikes! There is so much in the Escalante area. I hope you can make Buckskin. In September, weather permitting, I want to do Wire to Buckskin and out Whitehouse. Have you done that in a day? I think it’s around 23 miles but pretty flat. I’m hoping I’m so consumed with the beauty I forget my legs are tired 😂.

At 12:47, where you pointed the second time, the peak on the left is Gibraltar Butte. We summited it via little horse trailhead, and there is 1 class 3\4 exposed and slightly awkward angled slab climbing section or a more difficult class 4 chimney. I made a video on it. I think you would enjoy the climb.

I am planning to hike this route with my 13 year old son this fall but on all trails it says ropes are required but several comments say you dont need ropes. Do you think we would be okay to do this loop with no ropes?

I always wanted to climb weavers needle and never did. Now, after having not climbed in so long, I don't think I have the nerve anymore. Good on you. I enjoyed watching.

Yeah those mountains are crumbly

You're talking too much, holms

How far NW or SE from the bridge did you drop in? Then after that the exit gully was about a mile or so? Thank you.

I've developed a fear of heights over time which sucks. While living in Colorado in 1993 I seen a free solo guy fall 200 ft.at Garden of Gods. I just by chance looked in his direction and seen him in mid-fall. I thought I was seeing things at first. But no it was real. He died.

I'm very glad I found your video. I added my itinerary on an Iceland travel group asking for recommendations for the Westfjords. All anyone could focus on was telling me that I shouldn't be hiking Kirkjufell 🙄

Very beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍21

I did this hike about 50 years ago. There was a metal box (reset) at the top of the peak that was cemented into a small group of jagged rocks with a lid and a hinge. Inside of it was a book and a pencil for writing your thoughts about the hike and the view. It was a great diversion and reward to read everyone else's comments while resting a bit before heading down. Some funny, some very poignant as well. Oh, and the cactus. I was a bit surprised how close you were putting your hands to the cactus (and knew it was only a matter of time), since that stuff will shed a bit and be on the ground and the rocks around the cactus. Good for you on making the hike.

Impressive work! I’ll be watching this a few more times before I go, thank you for sharing 👍
