daytrip ep9: Cascade Ridge and the Lone Gunman

Sometimes Blake cancels at 5:20am and leaves you alone in a gravel pit with a guy shooting a bolt action rifle at a rock. Here's a video of me traversing Cascade ridge to Cascade saddle via upper pole. Upper Pole is an easy way to summit Cascade if your into that kind of thing. If not, upper pole is a great route for me to use to get to the ridge while you watch from the comfort of you couch.

Utah is insanely beautiful, I’m sold on Utah after two days binge watching your vids.

The scree treadmill reminds me of climbing the last 1/4 mile to the summit of Mt. Sneffels in August.

Danny, do u ever just break out in hives or rashes from all that bushwhacking?

I love Daytrip 1-9, I only wish it went to 11.

[@Dscill]

Awesome video! What's the exposure like going up that first ascent to the ridge line? Any technical stuff to worry about for a guy who mainly sticks to trails?

[@MediocreAmateur]

There is a short loose scramble at the top of the upper pole chute before you get to the ridge hike. It's not technical but the loose rock requires constant attention. Also, the mountain goats were knocking lots of rocks down towards my direction so a well aimed rock could cause you grief.

Do you guys check the air forecast at all before any of your adventures, or do you just go when you have time to go? The air here can really suck sometimes.

Shoutout to the lone gunman! Pew Pew :)

What equipment do you use to get those Aerial shots?

[@deerloversheridan3038]

Sweet goats.

[@jaysonlarsen6721]

I feel like you have been on some of these peaks like 10 times good work and good cardio and exercise

[@MediocreAmateur]

It's true, there is a lot of overlap.

guns are fine but he should find a better spot for target practice lol

[@frankblangeard8865]

@@captainkielbasa5471 Seems like an abandoned quarry is an ideal backstop for target practice. What would you suggest?
