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.
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!
I am so happy for you that you decided to do the Sierra now, and safely got through Forester Pass! You go gurl! 💪 The music accompaniment was spot on, bravo! 👏
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.
Today’s video and today’s accomplishments illustrates that you are with the right people at the right time! This team did an excellent job and I some proud of and happy for all of you. Somewhere was a great addition and I’m glad she was with this group for this epic day. We knew she would probably move on, but it was nice to have her here for a while!
Epic indeed Roadrunner! Early morning mountaineering at it's best, happy hikers having the time of their lives. I am very happy for and so proud of the entire team!
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 😂
5:00 the absolute most epic glissade of the Sierras!!!! It was soooo fun!!!!! ❤ All of my group slid all the way down to the flat area. Too bad you all walked it.
Wow the music was fantastic I was so nervous watching! Y’all experienced climbing and viewing a place where most people dream of! It was amazing 🤩 Thank you again for filming your epic journey ❤
I’ve been quietly following along but I just have to say I can imagine what an epic day it was because it was an epic episode! I have been filling Oct hikers for about 4 years now and this I think was the best glimpse of what it must really be like to do forester! Well done!
You outdid yourself today! Incredible video and sound !! The adventure continues. We all will miss Somewhere. Maybe you will re-connect at a later date.
Wow! What an incredible memorable day for sure! Love your music choices for this video! I felt like I was watching a movie! So proud of your accomplishments! You go girl!
Wow! Great job getting over Forrester. Way to go Somewhere! Great job all around. Yes, RR, respect those "river crossings". Safe travels and happy trails. Bye, Somewhere. Be safe!
Great video, loved your soundtrack hope you had a great zero you guys certainly deserved it. Last year some of the rivers still had snow bridges over them. The cold water helps with inflammation. 👻
Good morning, Julianne. Congrats on doing Forester Pass and Kearsage Pass. Sorry to hear Somewhere decided to move on without the group. Ya'll did great on those passes. Can't wait to see what is next. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Oh and funny story on the north side of Forester I was bouldering around some snow patches and felt my hand touch something gooey and brown on the rock. At first I thought it was poop. Thank God it turned out to be peanut butter
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.
As much as you hate heights you did AMAZING! Such beautiful scenery! Some sketchy spots too, a huge thrill. Good idea for early start as the sun reflects off that sun and you can get sunburned even with suns red on! Big kudos!
This one got me choked up! A stunner of a day!!! I just keep thinking how few people get to do that, see that country, etc
Road Runner, I was in the group behind you and I am so thankful that you did such a wonderful job capturing the experience. One Track
That is sweet!!
All the best on your hike!
The red light and music gave me goosebumps! The score changes everything. Very dramatic and exciting!
The music, the red light, the grit, rhe fellowship, the weather and nature. Great vid. Thanks for sharing
Roadrunner, this is the most beautiful video you have made to date!
The girl who wouldn't make it 2 weeks on the AT keeps on truckin' over Forrester Pass. You go!
4:59 that is F’ing EPIC!
Look at that smile. Your happiness is contagious!
Best personality of any of the thruhikers.
I agree! That smile, her courage and her unique accent. Does it get any better
So proud of you Roadrunner. Who says Florida Gals can’t hike the Sierra Mountains. Super sweet video. One to cherish for sure!!✌️🙂❤️Major shoutout!!✌️

Rope is 100% a thing and you'll really want one when you get to Oregon... :-)
OMG, what an amazing section of the trail. Extreme hiking at it's best! Congratulations to you all for making safely and sharing with us.
Well done ROADRUNNER!!!!

Awesome day for you guys. Love videos. Keep em coming. Cheers !

This is why we watch your channel!
I have watched quite a few Forester pass summits on others channels but really felt like I went along on yours! Thanks! BTW music was stellar!
Epic!
I’ve been quietly following along but I just have to say I can imagine what an epic day it was because it was an epic episode! I have been filling Oct hikers for about 4 years now and this I think was the best glimpse of what it must really be like to do forester! Well done!

Wow. So cool. Congrats on completing Forrester Pass. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
Amazing
Crampons cramping.
Nice music and scenery.
Woohoo! I've never been up there myself, and every time I see video of Forrest Pass I just can't believe there's a trail up that vertical wall.
Wow! What an incredible memorable day for sure! Love your music choices for this video! I felt like I was watching a movie! So proud of your accomplishments! You go girl!
Incredible, great job you crushed it.
This music was amazing.
No words needed. 😊
Wow! Great job getting over Forrester. Way to go Somewhere! Great job all around. Yes, RR, respect those "river crossings". Safe travels and happy trails. Bye, Somewhere. Be safe!

Stunning👏🏼
Everything haas been said in previous comments, epic day, music perfect for this video. Congratulations. You are all AMAZING.
Youz guys are super heros!!
Beautiful weather for that part of your hike! I'm imagining how brutal and horrible and difficult that area could be in stormy weather!
Big days, big stays!
Excellent music choices! Long day. Enjoy your zero. Happy trails! 👣
Great video,Loved the dramatic music!! Nice touch!!
Beautiful!! You are a bada$$! 💪
Beautifully filmed and done. Epic day! Crazy miles too! Way to go!
Great choice of music for this episode. I kept thinking a Yeti was going to jump out and attack you all. 🙂
Congratulations on completing Forester PASS..
Damn!!
And awesome!!
Looks amazing!!
The music gave me goosebumps, as did those views. Thank you so much for sharing.
You have done well to film as much of that difficult route as you did.
Congratulations to your whole tramily 😊
Roadrunner!! Thst was epic!!! Fantastic video! As an avid hiker that climb was scary!! Way to go!!!
Wow...what a vid....great job...thanks for taking us along....two passes in one day!
Goosebumps!!!
Great video, loved your soundtrack hope you had a great zero you guys certainly deserved it. Last year some of the rivers still had snow bridges over them. The cold water helps with inflammation. 👻
Good morning, Julianne. Congrats on doing Forester Pass and Kearsage Pass. Sorry to hear Somewhere decided to move on without the group. Ya'll did great on those passes. Can't wait to see what is next. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
I believe Somewhere wants to do the AT, PCT and CDT ASAP so she's on a mission
@@umreeh Good to know why.
Only PCT and AT
Go Somewhere Go! We are rooting you on too! You have got this!!! ❤🙏🏻 AT and PCT!
The pass and the snow fields were epic. You guys really made it look easy. Happy trails..
Congrats. A day you will never forget. EPIC !!
That was epic. Great music choices.
Epic night and day of hiking! Thanks for sharing the beautiful mountain scenery.
Wow. Incredible. Truly epic!
I have been on Forrester twice in the summer but not in those conditions. Congratulations! Hard work and sketchy terrain.
... A strong day for sure ... enjoyed the silhouette of the mountain range with choice background music .. Stay Safe ...
That was amazing!! Stunning landscape and perfect music to accompany your vlogging. You guys definitely deserve a zero tomorrow. Well done!
10:04 We dipped into the lake and it was freaking COLD!!!! 😂
So beautiful! Thank you for bringing us along!
Wow! That’s amazing! Mt Everest next😂😂! Love the pictures you did an amazing job filming !!!!

completely awesome!!
Excellent video
One of the guys i hiked around carried a plastic sled and went down from there his trail name cool runnings
Love the music❤
Your doing awesome 👍👍👍
Wow! Just amazing!
Epic climb right there.
Great serious face photo.
Hiking that terrain in the dark just scares the crap out of me. Of course the dramatic music didn't help my nerves much. 🤣
This looks quite different than hiking up in October. There was no snow and a nice trail.
Wonderful!
As much as you hate heights you did AMAZING! Such beautiful scenery! Some sketchy spots too, a huge thrill. Good idea for early start as the sun reflects off that sun and you can get sunburned even with suns red on! Big kudos!
That was incredible! Congratulations 🎉
Love your videos you’re doing amazing job. The area is just gorgeous. Be safe God bless.
You did a great job capturing the epic day - totally felt epic watching it on video
