Logan's Ridge with Mt Barney legend, Alan Frost

Arguably the record for the oldest person to climb Logan's Ridge on Mt Barney -- at 87 years and 9 months, Alan Frost has no peers in this regard. This was on 21 December 2022 on a perfect day on the best mountain in Australia!

That climb looks terrifying to me and Im half his age. What a legend.

I've done Logan ridge before and it's no easy feat. Big congrats to Alan at the 87 years year young for achieving this mammoth task. Such a big inspiration to me, Thank you.

I agree. 👍

[@mitchellfoye1998]

Right in the middle of summer too , that’s a mighty effort !!!! Well done

[@karenprince3528]

Absolute delight to watch this video. The hiking world needs a few more Alan’s 🥰 I think Allan could tell us a few stories! An inspiration to us all. Great filming, you captured the beauty of Mt Barney. Can never tire of watching this panorama.

Wow amazing what a legend. Hope I can still walk at 87 let alone hike.

[@hugoonair]

Amazing indeed!

[@tofuhiker]

Walk? I'm hoping just to be alive still!

[@dirtydogg06]

Very inspiring at 87…..anything is possible!

Fantastic story Mike 👍🏻 I’ve had the honour to have climbed Logan’s with Alby a couple of times. You truly captured the spirit and quiet respect he has for Mount Barney.

[@hugoonair]

Many thanks Peter...he instils respect in such places, doesn't he? A great day out...

[@johnfells6837]

Amazing effort ! I think this is the Legend that has climbed Barney 150 times ! Hi Mike, I recognize that soothing narrator's voice of yours !

[@hugoonair]

Absolutely right John. Good to hear from you...

[@FunSalads]

Great work, especially with a big backpack! 👍
Thanks for sharing.

[@traceyw6413]

Superb, just like a mountain goat 😊

[@eddieintheoutdoors]

Wow! Inspiring!

[@nickstevens3139]

Logan’s is steep and exposed but this video makes it look even more scary.

[@workerant7874]

Very impressed by old mate

[@hugoonair]

He is a role model, that’s for sure!

[@carolynharbottle-jj4rb]

I like mt barney

[@jamesjanetzki6324]

… did it solo in 1993/4 - does the round rock I passed & kept seeing as I ascended have a name? Amazing to be right next the east face too …

[@hugoonair]

Hi James…I’m not aware of any names for features on the ridge apart from ones used by individuals who climb it regularly…they all seem to be different! 😀

[@Adrian-lc6jq]

When he turns 90 you gotta make a new video of him climbing it, probably without the backpack tho, carry his supplies for him.

[@hugoonair]

I'm sure Alan will be up for it...hopefully I will be too 😂

[@Adrian-lc6jq]

​@@hugoonair are you both wearing La Sportivo TX4's?

[@hugoonair]

So do I! 😆

[@carolynharbottle-jj4rb]

Did you see mt warning

[@hugoonair]

Yes Carolyn...you can see Mount Warning about three-quarters of the way up the ridge, the summit looming just above the eastern horizon...
