The Journey of a 46'er - An Adirondack Story
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- The journey of a 46’er doesn’t start with an idea, It starts with a relationship..a relationship with the Adirondack High Peaks..a relationship that requires much commitment and open mindedness to growth and change. This is my complete story as an aspiring 46'er. Here, I will show you what this park means to me, what it takes to become a 46'er and my experiences along the way. This means the world to me that I get the chance to share this with you and I hope it encourages you to get out there and explore!

“...to grow closer to the one who made me and these mountains...”Amen brother, it’s the same reason I climb!
Amen indeed!
I’ve been all over the West, I’ve been to the South Island of New Zealand and seen beautiful and stunning landscapes.
But there’s nothing like the Adirondacks.
Spent my childhood summers at Schroon at the cabin my grandpa built by himself. Now I live in a bus and travel there each year with my wife. God created this wilderness with a uniqueness I can’t describe. This place has shaped me to who I am today and who I want to be.
I'm from Glens Falls just south of Lake George NY. Love what you said, New Zealand is on my bucket list and love the positive feedback to my backyard growing up. ADK ❤️
why isnt this guy famous yet? he shoud atleast be having 1 million subscribers.
Thank you for the wonderful film. I have watched it 5 times already and had treas in my eyes every time. I spent 44 years to complete the gaol on Grat.
Fantastic video and congratulations.... I’m hooked!
Just completed my first out of 46 on Saturday.. i hiked to the top of cascade with my dog.. it was such a surreal experience I cried when I got back to the car bc I’ve been dreaming of climbing a mountain over 4k ft for 2 years I’m not in the best shape & have been smoking cigs for years & used to abuse drugs & my addiction to the mountains has changed my life & it all started with my first trip to the high peaks last year since then I’ve done nothing but wonder about the tops of those mountains.. congrats for somebody who’s new to hiking this is the type of shit that drives me anybody can do it if they put their mind to it
Great job, Jonathan! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us all.
Me and my grandson might go memorial weekend hiking in the adirondack to hike a few of the high peak
Thanks so much for sharing your journey. I became a 46er with 2 great friends and it changed our lives and solidified a commitment to each other that will last a lifetime. I'm going to share your video with my kids and hope it inspires them to do the same.
Thanks for the inspiration man! Me and my best friend used your videos as motivation. We’re currently at 2 lol. But we have big plans ahead - we can definitely attribute some of those to you.
On #41 and this is the best video I've ever seen on the Adirondack mountains, absolute masterpiece! It's hard to put into words what those mountains mean to me and you did a fantastic job!
Not gonna lie dude, I finished my 46 on Esther and Whiteface, and this kinda brought a tear to my eye.
I’m #10,556 btw
Congrates man. Seeing u really made me start again after I quit now I'm at 30. Hope to still see videos from you.
Congratulations! It has been exciting watching your journey over all these vlogs.
And....wow, what an awesome intro. Makes me eager to get back up to the 'Dacks.
Awesome video! I am finishing my last two New England !00 Highests in Northern Maine in a couple weeks. I am hoping to begin the 46-ers this summer. This vide was an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Brought back beautiful memories! The Adirondacks are specials.
Fun to watch and thanks for bringing me along.
Congrats, cannot wait to see what’s next!
This is awesome. & Congrats, mister!
So awesome!! I've been following right along since the very beginning both here and on instagram. Really cool to be able to watch your entire journey as you've completed each of the peaks. I'm a little over halfway myself and plan to do Esther and Whiteface as #45 & 46 (as it just so happens). Congratulations Jonathan!!
Great videos. Really enjoyed following your inspiring journey. Would love to see the entire Esther and Whiteface climbs in a separate post. Congratulations on reaching #46!
Wow, amazing Jonathan; congrats friend 🎉
Amazing, can't wait to get back out there! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful video brother
Wow great video loved watching it. Just finish my 40th peak , 6 to go, I am starting to be reluctant on finishing as I don’t want this great adventure to end.
Amazing! Huge thing to accomplish!
I’m not a 46 er but I was bitten by the adk back back in 2000 on still water reservoir with an old friend and been going up twice year ever since. My wife and I will be retiring up there in two years so I do know what’s itlije to love adk mountains good job enjoy
Hiking up Mt Whitney isnt the same as Adirondacks, you got me beat with 46 though
So inspirational! I'll be starting my journey this summer
Currently 4/46 peaks done. Gettin there!
I did the entire Dix range 10 years ago- not bragging, but bringing it up cause I LOVE it. Xen. Silence. Is there a permit system now? There should be.
Wow! Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I just started my journey to be a 46er! I've done 5, and will have 8 by the end of the week (Wright, Algonquin, Iroquois). Like you, I think I will do Whiteface last because it would serve as a sweet reward!
I enjoyed the video documentation of your journey, very well done! Working on completing my Winter 46 and looking forward to Dec 21 to knock some off the list, (17 to go). Hope to see you on the trail someday, and CONGRATULATIONS! Your video got me even more excited to get back at it. Thanks! 46er # 8949
Such a great video! Haha, reminds me of me on some of my first trips to the ADK! Keep Living 👊
inspiring af bro.
Haystack and Gothics are my favorite!
Great vid man! If you had a week and could re-do a few them what would they be?
this... this is what the people want!
Incredible film. Congratulations.
Aren’t they just rugged and beautiful?
Really enjoyed this. Did you write the script? It's very well done, Jonathan!
NIPPLETOP WAS ME AND MY FRIENDS FIRST HIGH PEAK !!!
Congrats! I started the high peaks this year, got 9 done so far. Going to get at least 2 more in during the fall. What peak do you recommend for the fall foliage?
Big Slide has some pretty amazing views! Also, Basin and Haystack never disappoint
@@JonathanZaharek three I haven't done yet! I'm saving marcys as my 46th, white face was my second via marble mtn. Thanks for all the great vids, keep up the good work!
All of them :-)
Amazing video😊
Wow!
You did good.
What does it mean to 'orphan' a mountain? Do the hike but skip the summit?
Nicole D'Orazio Correct. Specifically when it is in a range with other mountains
@@JonathanZaharek thank you Jonathan!
Awesome video what kind of camera do you use?
Ever Hike alone, the Dix Range? if yes, I have respect for you
5:22 what hike is that?
What editing software do you use if you use one
What vlog is 8:18 from? I never saw it on the channel.
Eric Sydor Good Eye! That was actually a vlog that I never published. It was about the time where I pulled an all nighter to watch the sunrise on haystack, but ended up orphaning both mountains and hiking back to my car without doing any mountain. 18.5 miles in vain
Is it a bad idea to try to do saw teeth then back track to hay stack and, sky light?
billy no I’m not even sure how that would make sense
I was going to go up rainbow falls to saw teeth, then go down to haystack then, to 4 corners
7:06....that part of the trail was so sketchy lol. i did not enjoy running into that
This is cool, but im skeptical.
Cute little hills.
I watched this video before I met you and it made me cry. I watch this video after I met you and it made me cry. I cry when I’m not even watching this video. Basically what I’m trying to say is your video is beautiful and it’s worthy of making a grown man cry
Could not stop smiling through this entire thing. Congrats man!!!
I'm at number 42 and praying for the remaining four. You're giving me strength.
"I must be today what i want to be tomorrow. I can't keep living in the tomorrow because tomorrow is never here, it is always the present. I take this journey as a way to deepen my passion, and to grow closer to the one who made me and these mountains"
- damn, you have uprooted my entire life logic that I now realize is only procrastination, and I thank you for it
Amazing film Jonathan, you really captured the essence of the Adirondacks. Congrats on your 46 summit! :)
Every video you amaze me. Wonderfully done Jonathan! I'm proud to be called your sister
Hi it’s Easton
Awesome video’s ! You must climb MacNaughton Mountain now to complete your journey. I hope you do and would look forward to that Vlog. Your awesome and an inspiration.
I am a 46er. #5440... God Bless You....
Thank you for making and sharing your journey. While your journey was yours, and mine was mine....this brought back my memories. Thank you!!!
My grandson loves high peaks and he want's to become a adirondack 46er like me and his uncle
Congrats! That was a great collection. I hope to do Seward, Emmons, Donaldson & Seymour in a few weeks. By then, I’ll have done 10.
Wow! Great footage...and Congratulations! The mountains have a way of clearing the mind...there is no better feeling...no better teacher. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Hi. I found your street and nye video while sitting at my work desk, dreaming of my next 46r hike this weekend. And now I've binged your videos and they are great. Seeing someone around my age conquer this and with your humor and grit these videos made my day better. Just wanted to say thanks! (:
Awesome video! I look forward to complete the challenge too. Congrats!
Great footage and you do such a good job artistically piecing it all together. I wish I had your camera!😁
Love this video! congrats!
You really should send this video in to the Banff mountain film festival.
Nice work! Congratulations!! Quality movie! ✌🏼
Congratulations, Jonathan. Inspiring film, epic achievement, lasting legacy.
Such an inspirational video man, well done! I'm starting my 46er journey next month with the Sanatanoni Range. I can't wait to get out there!
There is a great boulder next to round pond, that you can sleep on, it's perfectly flat on top. I haven't done all 46 and after doing saddleback with out any views I lost interest, however that was in the 1980s. I am 62 now and would love to complete all of them.
Thankful and blessed to call you a friend. My only regrets are not hiking more with you... so here’s to more adventure in the future!
Damn. Very inspirational.

I'm on 13. Only 33 more. These mountain are unapologetically awfully and, will beat you down but, every step you might hurt but, at the end it's worth it no matter what the view
wow amazing!!
Ah, the memories ... great video and narration. Thanks ... # 549
ADK club, from Buffao, NY, I thiink we should team up man
congratulations!!
Jonathan, beautiful film! I've been searching for something that captures the adirondacks, and you've done it! congratulations on the 46
We were camping for three weeks up there, hiking & experiencing the bautiful people that come by :)
May I suggest you explain what a 46er is so I don't have to look it up on Google
The Adirondacks are my soul.
Congrats, dude!
As nice as this is, I'll still take New Mexico!
You should do Everest, honestly
I’m on number 30
How do they know you climb them tho?
Awesome job!!
Great job brother!
Thank you! and congrats man
I've been waiting for this one. Thanks for the videos - given me a lot of reprieve and joy watching from the office
Incredible!!
Congratulations!! Fantastic accomplishment...46er 2014.
What an inspiring journey. I was hired for the ADK MT Club LOJ crew for this summer. I am going to start my 46er journey. I have hiked Wright Mountian, but it was a rough first experience, in April.
how many years total did this take you to complete
2
This is absolutely beautiful! I have always struggled to put into words why these mountains mean so much to me, but you said it perfectly that sums it up "...to grow closer to the one who made me and these mountains." Thank you for your videos! I hope to run into you when I'm in Lake Placid.
Holy crap you are the best TH-camr out there I am so inspired by you. I live in London but I come out here in the summer, fall and the winter.I have only done 20 high peaks. Before I started watching your videos I didn’t think about being a photographer but know I want to be exactly like you. Carry on because you are doing things that I like and others like .
Well done
Well done guys. I need that as a fellow 46er. It can get pretty crazy out there with that ADK wind and rain. Did some overnighting during winter month’s, getting soaked threw and “ dying slowly” for me was definitely a trip too. (don’t sweat in the winter it can be a killer.)
You do such great videos! You are so inspiring in your narration and photography... and you're cute too! I've spent time in the Adirondacks and really enjoy these videos. Thanks Jonathan.
Awesome man...i live in Mass and always go to the white mountains...but as of late the Adirondacks calling my name..great accomplishment amd hike on brother!
