At least you got a solid breakfast under your belt. When I did the Traverse (3 days/2 nights backpacking), we got to the parking permit box at 4:45 AM on Friday morning. When I was there, you weren't allowed to carry a parking permit from Thursday through the weekend, everything reset on Friday. 4:45 AM still wasn't early enough to get a parking spot on this particular Friday. We had to drive back down to the shuttle lot (after already paying for the parking permit through the park) and wait until 8:30 for the shuttle to start running. Beautiful place, but the logistics can be TOUGH to manage. Keep on keepin' on!
My mother is 93 with advancing dementia. She doesn't know who we are, but she knows you guys! Watching back to back to back to back videos of Mediocre Amateurs is honestly one of her favorite things to do. She laughs at your humor, is amazed at your awesome photography, and sometimes you give her "the willies." Your videos have truly been a lifesaver to us as we look for activities she'll enjoy. Thank you for keeping it clean!
The "DEADLY BELLS" i alumus of Western state colege in gunnison , climbed t maroon pass and seen fravert basin on the Gunnson county side, south slopes and the bells, magnificent rugged territory interesting is pitkin/gunnison line is the summits of the bells ( if my memory serves correct) 1982 Respects: i dont think these mountaineers had been born yet
I love the honest banter back and forth. Two individuals, being themselves, straight up. Yeah, it was awesome to watch. I used to live there, age 21 - 28. It's an amazing place.
Facts facts facts. There are so many wilderness channels on YT, but they don’t have as much charm and charisma as the folks here. These are also just the coolest adventures I have seen on TH-cam!
Epic trips, great camera work, and great personalities. How do you not have more subscribers? I've been burning through these the last few days. These are great!

hehe that kind of terrain... 1 rock breaks free 100 ft above you, it's 100 rocks by the time it reaches your level, and any trail in the area is disguised forever. Great climb and fun to watch. Thanks again for taking us with you
@@TheVirtualsherpa Honestly, I was laughing my ass off at you cursing while doing the Little Bear -> Blanca traverse. That was super gnarly, but great viewing.
I climbed most of the Colorado 14ers without a helmet. Any technical routes, high chance of rockfall gullies, or snowboard descents I chose to wear my helmet. It’s a personal choice. Use your common sense and don’t be bullied by the helmet police. Everyone has their own acceptable level of risk.
I'd say this traverse was significantly more exposed than knife-edge. As I've discovered, there's precious little in the way of epic hiking to be done on the east coast. The mountains are too gentle.
Hi. As usual, a great video. Also impressed with what you accomplished (as usual). I've seen pictures of the Maroon Bells, but now we know what they really look like. Well done.
Very nice. I attempted Maroon last year, got lost on the route not too far from the summit. Definitely glad you all wore helmets, I couldn't believe how chossy Maroon was.
@@cnuila - No fatigue here. You have to understand I plan my day around watching the latest episode of Mediocre Amateur. Love the output. LMAO on every line. Absolutely entertaining and I hope you guys keep it coming!
The Tale of Two Buffets! Y'all are a riot. Amazing trek, just beautiful. You posted yesterday and here in Texas I am enjoying this today. Crazy! PS: Mom knows best but its fun to tease her. Loved that comment!! Y'all are studs!! Thank you!
But you had to wait for the shuttle. You could have had a second helping at the buffet and still made the same shuttle to the trail head, couldn't you? And take cairns with a grain of salt; they are usually built by someone who doesn't know where he is going.
Many thanks from those of us for whatever lame reason will never be "there". Your video skills are exceptional at bringing the adventure to us. Be safe!
When it comes to climbing and descending Christoph is an animal!
Awesome video!
Entertaining watch..Stunning colours and views..thanks for sharing...😊
Excellent
Nice !!!

God bless you and your sweet mother. I hope she continues to have many adventures through the lens of others life lived.
That is amazing!! Bless her.
6:01 you heard it here first kids. For multiple reasons
Elk mountains summed up at 10:10
There is a peculiar joy in crappy rock. Good stuff
You guyz are HaRDCoRe!

Nice video of some magnificent region
.
There was gravel dirt parking at maroon lake, that was all
That's a spicy class 4 right there. A no-fall zone where every rock is loose... perfect.

Can’t stop watching these guys videos..it’s past midnight
Personally it’s not the climb up that’s the hardest, it’s the climb down knowing you’ve completed your objective
My best friend's father died on Maroon Peak in 2006. Glad you made it down safely.
By far the most underrated channel on YT.
Jon Elick second that👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Actual facts, these dudes r epic

Seriously.
I had forgotten how wrotten the bells and pyramid are . It amazes me that are. Mountains at all .
One of my favorite MA videos. The scenery, camera work, and music is top notch in this episode.
You are such amazing humans. I wish I had friends like you. Thank you so much for making these videos.
I just had a feeling that Danny would try and blame Christof and his breakfast buffet if they missed the last shuttle bus 😂
Nice one, guys! Is it on... Strava?
Y'all r the best. Can't wait for next video

Brilliant video thanks for sharing guys
So which gully did you take?
Missing Cristoff!!
love your channel. slowly working my way through all of your vids!

I love how you guys secretly hate each other.
Not much of a secret!
Felt like the one guy was almost hoping to miss the shuttle so that he could blame everything wrong on the breakfast buffet
I feel like they still get together because no one else can keep up with them.
What is the blue hoody/windbreaker you have on?
1 year later and I'm also wondering the same
What time of year did you do this?
Coming down North Maroon sucks... Glad you made it safely
Beautiful view. Nice job.
Great video. Amazing footage. Beautiful views and scenery.
This puts my video (and effort) of the traverse to shame - well done guys.
Dude,I love your vids!!! Way more informative and practical while these guys go more for the entertainment value.
Vitopa13 cheers man appreciate - hopefully mine will be more entertaining in the future too 😂 but I will never be able to compete with their speed
@@TheVirtualsherpa Honestly, I was laughing my ass off at you cursing while doing the Little Bear -> Blanca traverse. That was super gnarly, but great viewing.
Nope. Yours is better. Watched it recently in the projector room for maximum vertigo.
H.R. Grider cheers appreciate it - hopefully you did the same with the LB blanca traverse
Stunning scenery, exposed, spicy climb! Bravo.
Dude! love your channel! Hilarious guys- amazing adventures!
I don’t even know how many times I’ve come back and watch this one..
I'm with Christoff! A good breakfast buffet is essential for an outing like this!
Great video!! Looking forward to more content!!
Chrtistof is the best! He is always so positive even when he isn't feeling 100%
Gorgeous. Love you guys
The aspen here look absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing!
Good to see you lads back on real mountains. Must have taken the bus to Zermatt?
Mark McLain just breaking up the Haute fatigue, stay tuned
@@cnuila Understand. Quite the contrast. Nice call on the buffet too ;-)
If I paid for a breakfast buffet, I'm going to eat the whole breakfast buffet.
You all just amaze. Your obvious athleticism and the incredible beauty of the places you go are just awesome.
REALLY LOVE how this channel is all about the adventures instead of just another TH-cam Infomercial selling gear 🤟
Without the fuel from the buffet, you might have bonked and taken more time to get back to the bus ;-)
Outstanding work. You guys are amazing. Love your channel ❤
Solid channel
Your vid makes this hike look waaay too easy. Deceptively easy to inexperienced hikers.
Wow I thought these mountains were unclimbable. I stumbled across this watching Capitol Peak videos and I'm amazed!
I climbed most of the Colorado 14ers without a helmet. Any technical routes, high chance of rockfall gullies, or snowboard descents I chose to wear my helmet. It’s a personal choice. Use your common sense and don’t be bullied by the helmet police. Everyone has their own acceptable level of risk.
You guys need to do the pemi loop
Bells are now definitely on the list 👍🏼😳
To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee, "You call that a trail? That's not a trail -- THIS... no... this isn't a trail, either."
You guy's should do a video of the gear you wear and use
Y’all should run the Four Pass Loop in the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness
Love this video!
Wow! A beautiful place, on a beautiful day.
Breakfast buffets are the most important meal of the day. Also, that traverse made my mom nervous. Bravo gentlemen.
Absolutely love your videos. Keep it up.
The "2800 feet of suck" is a real bummer on that traverse hahaha. Have you guys done the Little Bear to Blanca Traverse?
Have you guys thought about coming to the east coast to New Hampshire to do the presidential traverse?
Yeah I'd be interested to see them do some eastern stuff. Katahdin's knife edge perhaps?
Vatnos Oo good recommendation. Hope Danny sees this
Add the Pemi Loop in that if you come to NH
I'd say this traverse was significantly more exposed than knife-edge. As I've discovered, there's precious little in the way of epic hiking to be done on the east coast. The mountains are too gentle.
Those colors!!!
Can hardly breathe.
❤❤❤
Epic video once again!
Thanks for the great video! Spectacular scenery on a perfect autumn day 🙂!
Great video!! love to see people other than me running this 14ers
You guys almost got marooned.
How do you plan the logistic of these trips? How do you have time for them?
How recent was this trip? Just want to if there is any snow up there yet.
Rambo Trees my guess is early October?
Hi.
As usual, a great video.
Also impressed with what you accomplished (as usual).
I've seen pictures of the Maroon Bells, but now we know what they really look like.
Well done.
Very nice. I attempted Maroon last year, got lost on the route not too far from the summit. Definitely glad you all wore helmets, I couldn't believe how chossy Maroon was.
Is this like..Walmsleys brother or something?
WOW. I am lucky I got to see that. Thank you.
Two questions. What time of year was this and do you track your routes?
bucket list hike.
Great footage
If this stuff is mediocre amateur I can't wait to see what you guys do when you become skilled pros! I love this!!!
Another excellent video! Always look forward to these. Major props for the traverse. 😳
Helmets! Yes!
Christof rocking the Double Dynafit...that guy’s got style....
Lord Gadget my OCD comes out full force when gear and brand consistency is concerned😂
Exceptionally good coverage of this route. Thanks for making the time to record it so nicely.
Wait. How can you be in Colorado if you haven’t made it to Zermatt yet?
Where is day 5??😊
I thought I must've missed it, but no. It's not there.
Michael Pellegrin I was asking my self the same question 😅
Danny sensed a little Haute fatigue so he threw this one in to break it up a bit. Tune in next week for our triumphant entry into Zermatt.
@@cnuila - No fatigue here. You have to understand I plan my day around watching the latest episode of Mediocre Amateur. Love the output. LMAO on every line. Absolutely entertaining and I hope you guys keep it coming!
a breakfast buffet before getting on top of a mountain... dangerous😳😬
That is a gorgeous view of the area and a super view of the mountain view in the area, a nice view, too.
Love it guys. Nice one and the scenery there looked stunning!
Great video lads but where is the last European trip video? Was looking forward to that!
Maidhcí O Súilleabháin stay tuned
Thanks Christof. Missed Danny’s post with the explainer. No fatigue here though! Keep up the outstanding work.
The Tale of Two Buffets! Y'all are a riot. Amazing trek, just beautiful. You posted yesterday and here in Texas I am enjoying this today. Crazy! PS: Mom knows best but its fun to tease her. Loved that comment!! Y'all are studs!! Thank you!
One my favorite so far.... wow!!💛💛💛
Watching these videos really make me wanna go out to the mountains
Great climb, it even harder than it seems in the video, imo. Thank you for the video!
That was another great video. You guys always deliver. Well done!
I was really surprised to learn about the birch tree lineage.
Outstanding !
But you had to wait for the shuttle. You could have had a second helping at the buffet and still made the same shuttle to the trail head, couldn't you? And take cairns with a grain of salt; they are usually built by someone who doesn't know where he is going.
“We brought our helmets because we’ve been lectured by all of you” LOL. I feel ya, the comments section, ugh.
Many thanks from those of us for whatever lame reason will never be "there". Your video skills are exceptional at bringing the adventure to us. Be safe!
