Climbing the Goatfinger Couloir on Mount Edwards in Colorado
มุมมอง 2214 วันที่ผ่านมา
We climbed the Goatfinger Couloir (north face couloir) on Mount Edwards in mid-June 2024 in Colorado's Arapaho National Forest. Mount Edwards, a 13,860-foot summit, shares a trailhead with famed 14ers Grays and Torreys Peaks. It surprises me the Goatfinger Couloir isn't a more popular climb among couloir enthusiasts. This one has it all easy access, challenging climb, very steep (55 degrees nea...

The day after summiting Little Bear Peak (see the previous video), we summited Ellingwood Point and Blanca Peak, two 14,000-foot mountains in Colorado's Sangre de Cristo Wilderness near the San Luis Valley the following morning. After camping overnight at Lake Como, we started heading up the snow around 4 a.m. and made quick work to the base of the main couloir on Ellingwood. We chose to climb ...
Climbing the Hourglass on Colorado's Little Bear Peak in snow and ice conditions
มุมมอง 5521 วันที่ผ่านมา
There is no safer time to climb Little Bear Peak than as a snow climb through the Hourglass. As my sister is working toward completing Colorado's 14ers, I recommended we do this in early June 2024 since knew there was good, consolidated snow in the Hourglass. The conditions were about as good as it gets that day cold overnight freeze to create a solid crust on the snow and low winds and clear s...

We summited Mount Sneffels in the Uncompaghre National Forest near Ouray, Colorado, on Memorial Day weekend 2024. It is the 27th-highest peak in Colorado at 14,155 feet. The snow conditions could not have been better as it was continuous from the outhouse at the trailhead at 11,100 feet, where we camped the night before. After working our way up into Yankee Boy Basin surrounded by towering peak...
Climbing and Skiing Cristo Couloir on Quandary Peak
มุมมอง 109หลายเดือนก่อน
My sister and I climbed Cristo Couloir on Quandary Peak near Breckenridge, Colorado in early May 2024. This is one of the most popular couloir climbs on Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks due to its relatively gentle slope (approximately 40 degrees at its steepest) and its proximity to popular ski areas within a couple hours of Denver. The snow conditions weren't exactly ideal the day we chose a crus...

This was picture perfect day in mid-April for couloir climbing and skiing. We ascended the Boudoir Couloir on Horseshoe Mountain, located near Fairplay, Colorado, in the Mosquito Range. Horseshoe Mountain is a centennial peak at 13,918 feet high, ranking as the 68th-highest peak in the state. We couldn't have had much better conditions for this day. Crisp and cold in the morning for the ascent ...

Hiking and Skiing Culebra Peak in the Winter
มุมมอง 434 หลายเดือนก่อน
Culebra Peak is a 14,053-foot mountain in Colorado's Sangre de Cristo mountains, near the New Mexico border. This was my last summit of the 58 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado, reaching it on Feb. 16, 2024. What a day this was! It's generally an easy hike, though much longer in the winter due to roads being closed and thus having to start from the ranch headquarters at Cielo Vista Ranch. As can be...
Skiing Quandary Peak
มุมมอง 584 หลายเดือนก่อน
I skied Quandary Peak in late January 2024. Quandary is one of Colorado's 58 14,000-foot peaks, ranking as the 11th-highest mountain in the state at 14,272 feet. It's located near Breckenridge in the White River National Forest. This is one of the easiest 14ers to ski and when the trail to the summit is dry during the summer, it's among the easiest and most popular to hike.

Hiking Volcanoes in Nicaragua

During a trip to Nicaragua in January 2024, I hiked volcanoes San Cristóbal, Momotombo, Cerro Negro, El Hoyo, Masaya, and Concepción, and visited the island of Ometepe and the cities of Granada and León. All of those volcanoes are active and San Cristóbal is the highest volcano in the country (though just shy of the highest mountain in Nicaragua). I used Vapues Travel to organize the eight-day ...

Hiking Nevado de Toluca near Mexico City
มุมมอง 945 หลายเดือนก่อน
Nevado de Toluca, about an hour from Mexico City, immediately became one of my favorite hikes that I've ever done. I think the weather and moody clouds played into that, but it really is a beautiful mountain regardless with two blue lakes in the volcanic crater at the top, and being the fourth-highest peak in Mexico (15,354 feet/4,679 meters). It's a pretty simple hike with a very easy scramble...

How did you get down
Very carefully down the same route we took up. Last year I went across the traverse over to Blanca Peak and descended from there, but you should only do that if you're comfortable with extreme exposure and low fifth-class climbing moves.
@@andyschlichting do you ever have to use a rope. And have you ever lost the route? What are your tips for staying on the route?
@@andyschlichting also I saw your video of the traverse it was insaneeeeee! I haven’t done anything like that yet but I hope to one day eventually, me and my dad climbed 13ft wheeler peak last year it was definitely not as death defying but still super cool to be up high on rocky terrain.
@@stevebacue9782 I have not used a rope there, but some people definitely do. Another group the same day we were there rappelled from an existing anchor above the mixed section of The Hourglass. As far as route-finding, this one is very easy to stay on-route. There's really only one way up. There is a section in The Hourglass where you can go right or left and I believe both are equally challenging. Most people go right there. If you're looking to do this, I recommend checking out some of the route information on 14ers.com that will help with describing different sections of the route with photos.
I think it's scarier watching someone else do it... than actually doing it yourself. Especially under calm conditions.
Agreed. I felt comfortable the whole time but it's a little nerve-wracking to watch!
Awesome views, nice job! I plan to hike this the 2nd week of July. Not sure how long snow stays for in this range, I am more familiar with the cascades but do you think crampons/ice axe will be necessary early July?
I think two weeks from now it should be snow-free. Your biggest risk will be rockfall, particularly in the Hourglass on Little Bear so make sure to wear a helmet and beware of your surroundings and people above you and just general natural rockfall. Good luck and enjoy! You can also check 14ers.com and the 14ers Facebook page--I'm sure there will be updates on there on the conditions between now and when you go.
Wow so cool that's awesome that you took them up there Jennifer so beautiful ❤️ love you chica😊
Are those rocks glued in place? OH MY GOSH!!!!
that is insane!
Seems like a great time to climb
I remember this section well. We opted for the NW face on the ascent instead of the hourglass(no people) and it made for a great climbing day.
Wow, that traverse looked grizzly! :) I'd be very tempted to try it myself though, honestly.
So, since going back down a mountain than going up, how’s he gonna do that?
That is the scariest shit I have ever seen.
Ok…now THIS actually gave me some butterflies. It’s definitely narrow, as can be determined when you use both hands on one top-rock (so the size of the top-rock then has perspective), but the 360 camera makes it really difficult to see actual scale. The 1:40ish mark, however…that area is hardcore. Again, it could be the camera, but it looks like you’re nearly hanging on the right side of the ridge, and with no rope. I don’t know if you share this opinion, but this looks more hardcore than the knife edge on Capitol. Would you say that is true, or is the knife edge harrier? Lastly…watching this made me think you had done this before, as you walk across the top-rocks without checking if they are stable. From the video, ALL the rock looks loose, yes…all of it…even the stuff you walk on. Wicked cool vid man. PS are your boots the Lowa Expert GTX mountaineering boots?
It's definitely intense. The camera can make it a bit more extreme, but it's the most exposed thing I've done. Much more exposed and a steeper drop than the knife edge on Capitol. I have La Sportiva G Techs now, but I believe these were those Lowas you're referring to. They were great for me but I upgraded to something a little bit lighter and warmer.
I worried sick because my son does this route, wished I would never had watched!
Complete and udder insanity!! You have balls larger than the earth itself my friend.
fantastic!! dangerous moment!!!
Nnnnn-OPE. Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.
Fortunately, it looks like the gravity is really low up there. Otherwise, that could be a bit dicey.
Wonderful 🫶🏾✨🌟
Wow..what an amazing adventure 👏🏾👏🏾🫶🏾
No hate, but what the fuck.
Can you help me with the contacts of the guide
Yes I used Go To Mount Kenya for the company and my guides were Josephat and John. I highly recommend them!
"I live on the slopes of Mt.Kenya(Nanyuki to be Precise), Laikipia County"!!!.
you are a bad man
Beautiful views 👏👏👏
❤❤❤
so gnarly
'Promosm' 🎉
Well done.
are you wearing approach shoes or climbing shoes?
I was actually wearing mountaineering boots for this because the couloir up Little Bear was full of snow and I needed crampons. I also needed crampons on some of the low sections of this traverse.
Nice 😊😊
Oh no you don’t 😬
Stunning work my friend 👏👏
Liked and subscribed, Mr. Andy!
Awesome, thank you!
I need more exposure to heights. Stuff scares me to death... one thing though... when you stand up and are on that ridge. I start to get a bit dizzy doing that as you cannot see the ground immediately in front of you aside from the ridge. You must not have any issue like that...?
Yeah I don't have that issue anymore. It's taken me gradually getting more and more comfortable with exposure to be able to hike and climb things like this.
@@andyschlichting super cool. I am jealous. I go out a few times a year and do something high up. Def not enough yet.
You've got to be kidding me.🤕
GREAT STORY! This is the essence of volunteering and giving back to the community and those less fortunate. Wonderful job of filming and telling this encouraging story.
Wow ❤ from sri lanka 🇱🇰👍
Wow, simply wow my friend! This looks spectacular!
It's so epic and beautiful!
I don't know why but I love these videos of little bear to blanca but I do. It's insane. 💪🏿
What the hell is wrong with you.?
He's safe, he remembered to wear his helmet.
Great scenes, lovely hike

Do you plan on climbing the other continent’s second highest mountains? (K2,Ojos Del Salado,Mount Logan,Dykh-Tau,Mount Tyree & Mandala Peak.)
We will see!
Cool vid! It looks like loose rock but appears very stable in the vid. Was there any loose rock on the traverse?
The traverse itself is very stable. The route up Little Bear is a ton of loose rock and is one of the more notorious 14er routes for that, but I was fortunate to climb it with snow still in the couloir so I avoided most of that.
Wow! This is impressive. Congratulations 🎉
What dates were you there? I was there earlier in Sept in Vestal Basin and curious about snow conditions
I was there the 15th-17th and summited the peaks on the 16th. It snowed on the 15th, but was manageable the next day and seemed to be melting fast.
@@andyschlichting we were out those same days. Planned on coming from Sunlight basin over the sunlight windom saddle. Probably would have been ok, but my friend had no snow experience
Great quality. I saw you do Little Bear - Blanca on the other channel and was worried this would be Capitol to Snowmass which is as crazy and dangerous as hikes get.
Maybe one day I'll do that, but not yet!
