    That was an amazing climb and split board descent. Thank you for sharing the experience with us!

    The shot at 9:28 is great. You filmed the crux of the decent and had a fantastic trip down. That's not bad for a little bit of torture. That was a steep slope. Keep 'em coming.

      Cheers and thanks was really happy how that backpack shot turned out to my surprise.

    It’s been awhile since I’ve been on TH-cam. Dude your cineamatography has improved so much. Those drone shots are awesome

    Awesome video! Gonna be climbing Torreys and maybe Grays from the east side this weekend. What did the conditions look like for the East face from the top?

    Do you have a trails account that you use to track your ascents? I’d love to use it for reference when I attempt these epic adventures

    How did you know that the 40-45 degree slope was safe from avalanche?

    • @TheVirtualSherpa
      @TheVirtualSherpa  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I could go on for days about how I evaluated but this video is helpful: th-cam.com/video/JRFOFfNiLZ0/w-d-xo.html

    how does your drone handle the winds up there?

    • @TheVirtualSherpa
      @TheVirtualSherpa  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Never had an issue with winds so far. Once they go above 30, I am generally a lot more cautious.
