Thank you, yet again Nick! You had me on the edge few times! Thanks for letting us tag along 🧗🏻♀️
Thanks Robin!
Much respect !!!!
Wow... great video! Great views and a perspective of Hallett I hadn't seen before.
Beautiful, and I'm so glad you didn't hurt yourself.
Nick!!!! That was just too sketchy!! You had me on the edge of my seat!!!
It was kinda scary up there. Supposedly the couloir hits 50 degrees at the very end. Im afraid to try it again because the route back is brutal if I dont connect with the top. Once at the top the descent route is back over and down Flattop. Easy peasy.
I agree with your mom. Glad your safe.
I wouldn’t call it a fail. You attempted a climb that most people wouldn’t have the skill or guts to do. The views of Dream Lake, Emerald Lake and Lake Haiyaha from that ridge were awesome!
We did enjoy it, thanks so much for taking us along! Not a "fail" for us, it was very inspiring and also loved when you put the camera down for the selfie, good to see you Nick
Man, I enjoyed the hell out of this one, brother! Great attempt! I loved seeing close up footage of areas I've never seen before. This video has me so pumped up for my visit! Two weeks from tomorrow, I'll be arriving at my campsite at Hermit's Hollow. Wish we would have thought to exchange contact info when we met up on the Flattop Mountain Trail in 2020. Would enjoy seeing you again, and taking a hike. Glad you made it back from this hike, safe and sound. Great job!
My email is Nicksangetta@gmail.com. my weeks are filling up fast but we got some park passes for later in the month. So maybe we will be in there a day you are there.
Proud of you! I’m glad you’re not lowering your objectives! Beautiful off-trail scramble. Great video. Keep up your lofty aspirations. I know what you mean, though. I’m 62 and it’s getting much harder. I climbed Fairchild no problem in 1973. I tried Hague’s and Mummy last summer and got my ass handed to me. Had to settle for Crystal Lakes.
Thanks Eric! I have often thought about attempting Hagues and Mummy in 1 day from the Lawn Lake TH.. but at roughly 18+ miles and 5300+ ft gain its an absolute killer. Id be lucky to make it to Crystal Lake. I did Fairchild, Hagues and Mummy once but from the Chapin Pass TH. I skirted Chapin, Chiquita and Ypsilon and then went across the class 3 ridge (saw a bear up there!) to Fairchild. Then across and over Hagues and Mummy and down to the Lawn Lake TH think that way is much easier because you start out so much higher up. However the 2 car logistics is rough. But still, thats the hardest hike Ive ever done.
I saw your video on your climb of Fairchild, Hague’s, and Mummy. What an epic. From Chaplin Pass TH is definitely the way to go. The Lawn Lake TH is a long trip and has got to be the lowest TH in all of Colorado. It’s hard for me coming from Seattle having to acclimatize. I still think about it, though. Hague’s and Mummy are the only two major Mummy peaks left for me. I learn so much from your videos. You do some very interesting and unusual stuff. Love the elk. In my day, there were no moose or mountain goats in the park.
This one made me nervous! My palms were sweaty, lol.
I've been up Halletts 6 or 8 times, never that route. Looks fun.
I guess the very top of the couloir is incredibly steep, but if you can get that part you got it!
Oh I’ve been waiting for this one!
I’m going to finish the rest tomorrow on my lunch break
I couldn’t wait haha, I’m glad you made the responsible decision! Means we get to enjoy more videos!
Wow! No fail! Be proud of yourself for going places few dare to follow. Good to see you film yourself in action too! Amazing video!!! 5 stars!
I applaud your perseverance.
What a great attempt my friend! Way to be safe and not risk injury.
Beast mode. That was a valiant attempt. Nice work Nick.
The book doesn’t say it but that gully is usually for a moderate snow climb. Not much info on summer ascents. The book also says class 2 rubble but now it looks steeper the rockfall has gotten worse I would be sketched out too. This is the only video of this route without snow. Sick footage
-G Lenny from Denver
Thanks Green Lenny! There is a good trip report about this online and it talks about it being the best in snow. I was hoping to fight my way up the scree. Lol. After sliding down the Isabelle Glacier I dont like messing with the snow too much. The trip report says the couloir hits 50 degrees at the very top. Im glad I didnt attempt it with my microspikes.. I was thinkin about it though.
I hear ya. You were scoping out that class 4 move a long time when there is the easier bypass below it…you figured it out at 16:36. I don’t think it would have helped that much though with the gully in those conditions. That thing was gonna be very sketchy all the way.
Wow, this was scarier than your Longs Peak video! I loved seeing these area. When I visit there and look up at the mountain next time, I will never see it the same after watching your video.
Love your channel.
What a scary climb. But it was so beautiful. Hugs Nick
Gezzz, Nick , that made me nervous an I wasn't even hiking! lol.. Its not a hike fail you were out there hiking! Can't always reach the goal but you got pretty close!
It does suck getting old.
Whew! The only thing that got me through this video was knowing that you had to have to made it out in order for this video to be up. Glad SAR didn’t have to bring you out injured or cliffed out. Great effort. Better to be safe and climb another mountain another day!
Around 23:05 clearly it seems some people have made this trail , who were those people and when this trail has been made?!
I've been on that ridge in a lightning storm. It was terrifying
Valiant effort Nick. That looks super sketchy. Guess they don’t call it Chaos Canyon for nothing
That was Evil Kneevile bro!!
Water has weird milky color
Nick ... During the hike did you cross the area of the rock slide from a month back?
No, that part was even further back in Chaos Canyon. Thank god.
GOOD.GOD.NICK. And that’s all I have to say about that.
Why is the lake so milky
The recent rock fall in the Chaos Canyon caused the color.
What do you use to route plan and navigate? Have you made any vids on that?
I use the book Rocky Mountain National Park: The Complete Hiking Guide by Lisa Foster, paper maps and my Garmin Explorer GPS. I could use Cotrex on my phone and make life easier, but I don't.
Thank you! Appreciate your vids.
The lake has a weird color
Way too sketchy of a hike
Stop the Fiddle Fartin' bro and get it done!!
