    Great outing - thanks for sharing! That familiar sounds of snow crunching under your feet....that was months ago here in CO. BTW, 91 degrees F here right now.... 😎

    Great video. The SOTA was a little warmer at Grouse Ridge (W6/NS-195) on Saturday, 32C at 2351M. I’ll stop complaining about the heat. 😆

    Beautiful beautiful video again, Chris. If you hadn't suffered so much for it, I would be jealous for that landscape. I Heard that 'should have brought my gaiters' so many times I start questioning if you actually own some :-D Thanks for the entertainment.

      Haha you're on to me mate the gaiters clearly don't exist. :D

    10:16 - 5 Layers and still freezing?! Dude, you did well.

      Haha thank you mate, the second and third peaks were bad but not nearly AS bad. It took me 30 minutes to get myself back together and shoot more video after I was done with the first!

    Fantastic stuff as always Chris! Fwiw, I, as a viewer, was questioning your life decisions while watching that!
    Seriously though, it's weird watching you hike around in the snow when it's warm and the middle of July up here!

    Well done again Chris. Such sacrifices for those points. Imagine those chasers relaxing in warm shacks, with hot coffee so close, poor guys. You clearly were in a better place all day. 73 Andrew VK1DA/VK2UH

    I gotta give you a thumbs up for this one Chris, But it was evident that your 5 layers were not quite enough for old Mother Nature at those altitudes. More layers Ladd! you can take them off if you are too hot, but you can't add them is you are cold and don't have them!. but in any case kudos for a great video and activatons. thanks for taking the time to video it and to share it. de Ellis WA1RKS

    I loved the video Chris! I assume this was a recent activation?
    Now I must quit complaining of the 95 degrees F (35 C) days we’re having here in Utah. (It’s cooler on a summit. Time to go activate one!)

    • @RadioRunner
      @RadioRunner  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you mate! Yes sir - generally speaking the video comes out a week after the trip! Honestly if it was baking hot here I'd be moaning about that too! ;)

    Another Fantastic video ! Quick and straight to the point and as always the commentary was on point haha. Are you using the go pro hero 7 black? I just ordered the silver cause the black is to pricey but I want better video quality even though I think my last video I uploaded yesterday is a bit better and much longer. Unfortunately not in landscape view I forgot about that with my cell phone 🙃. Anyway great Video Chris and I look forward to the next one. 73

    Maaaan I was feeling this when I was up on Adams with not enough layers and crazy wind. Was not the time for standing still, which is what I was doing! 73 de Tim N7KOM
