    The side trip to town via Kearsarge Pass is always a difficult decision - the out and back miles (and altitude) is a full day all by itself. But staying on the PCT, it's a long way (and three more passes) to the next exit.

  • @elizabethcoates3916
    @elizabethcoates3916 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Wow you all are amazing, what a hike. You all should feel very proud. That was something there are no words. Enjoy your zero, you have earned it. Keep on keepin on!

    Quick PSA: it's not Forrester, as in run Forrest, run.
    It's Forester, as in Forest service, since a ranger discovered the route for a possible engineered pass.
    (The original JMT had slight detours/work arounds for both Forester and Mather. They're steep because they were literally blasted out of granite cliffs.)
    RR, glad you caught it epic; the Sierra become a lifelong addiction for many.

    Ok, a few things about this video.
    1. The music you chose was awesome for this! The intense music had me waiting for you to fight a wolf in the snow like on 300 when they are training to be Spartans. 😂
    2. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
    3. Way to go on your self arrest practice.
    4. When you add in the SpongeBob time laps thing, my 8 year old son, who is my backpacking buddy, thinks it's hilarious 😂

  • @memathews
    @memathews 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Good hike crossing both Forester and Kearsarge in one day. Starting early makes the snow a not easier/safer, but that's still a long trek over two big passes. You did great at elevation, too, that's tough. I'm sorry to see Somewhere push ahead Solo, but she seems well-prepared (mountaineering gaiters, MSR XGK stove(?)) and will probably find other groups for river-crossing safety. A little rest and recharge probably felt good for your group after this piece of trail.

    Brings back good memories. Snow levels seem fine and below normal. Which is good for the rest of the Sierras especially with the river crossings.
    One thing I did want to mention after seeing the part that you videoed the two others glissading. They need to get some practice. That's quite bad technique of glissading and self arrest. Mather pass will give you all another shot at it.
    Kearsarge is the best side trail on the Triple crown. Perfection.
