Wow, what an incredible film, Alex! I did the West Lion summit (hiked up from Lions Bay) about 25 years ago... nice to "visit" such a spectacular scramble again... thanks :-)
This has been a bucket list scramble for 40 years. Thanks for providing the perspective of what we are in for. Can’t wait to stand at the top in 4 days.
Hey ROB! That lake is called Brunswick Lake. Closest of the 3 lakes to Mount Brunswick. Middle lake is called Hannover and the Deeks Lake. I have a quicker video of HSCT and swimming in Hannover lake. th-cam.com/video/T1kUwh7539E/w-d-xo.html
@@anagyjr ps. it seems more challenging to have to hold the GoPro selfie stick while scrambling and all the steeper terrain. Do you not like to wear the harness or head strap GoPro accessories and film that way so you can use both hands?
@@robhasenwinkle Yeah it is a bit of a challenge. I don't enjoy those accessories. In the new video I stared attaching my Insta360 camera right to my pole so I use the pole to hike then film when I want to. I do like that setup.
@@anagyjr I hear you and I think some sports cam accessories could be more adaptable or user-friendly. And so you're filming with the Insta360 attached to the hiking pole that you use normally for your hiking support when needed? Meaning the video footage will be moving up and down as you hike?
September 20, 2022. Yesterday. it’s my first time scramble up to the top of The Lions, there’s nobody else, only me and only by myself 😊 I am 54 years old.😅
Love this video! Amazing seeing that bear!
Was that Mt. Harvey ( the mountain you went up but could not name ) at 25:40 ?
Hey ROB! No, I think Mt. Harvey is off screen right. You see it at 26:37 from the meadow.
@@anagyjr right on man thanks

Nice B52! Hope you did stand on the top of the West Lion!

And what is the name of that choice light blue water lake at ~ 32:02 ?
Hey ROB! That lake is called Brunswick Lake. Closest of the 3 lakes to Mount Brunswick. Middle lake is called Hannover and the Deeks Lake.

That is awesome Lin👏👏! Congratulation! Hope you had great views and enjoyed your time up there.
Later that week, I also finish scramble up the black tusk, better view.
@@linyan9299 Killing it! That's good to hear. I have not been up there yet.
How long did you spent on the scramble up the lion?
I'd say about 20 minutes to get up the West Lion. And about 20 minutes to get down.
