Haha, I've actually never noticed that! We had to cancel our trip to Gannett this summer :/. Still hoping to make it out there and make a video for that next year.
That ought to take a while lol. I don't know how many more state high points I'll collect, but I want to visit other mountain ranges more often. Cheers!
great video! thanks. On Aug 11, 2022 there was no obvious way the cross the creek flowing out of Princess Lake. we were stuck at the camp site. Probably would have circled around the west side of the lake if we would have gone further.
We were fortunate the log jam was there to cross, but it still required some upper body to climb around. The next day, we went through thick brush and weren't sure where the best place to cross the stream that runs into the top of Princess Lake was. I'm still curious if there's a more convenient way to go around the west side of the lake, but I was honestly surprised how difficult that entire route was above Huckleberry.
@@summitspecials we hope to try the peak again, but may do FTDP route instead. Have to carry the camp gear to higher elevation, though. I like the Princess Lake way; just wish the trail was better.
Not sure if you are aware but there is another route through what's known as the "froze to death plateau" which is much easier than the huckleberry route. Especially when your hiking in a lot of gear like that. Good job though!
Yep. Rappelling from above the "keyhole" near summit is just a fun option as there isn't much exposure there. Its worth taking the rope for that second rappell and I used the entire length. Cheers!
What you may come across is slings or cordellette left by other climbers. No permanent anchors. I believe I set up my own sling for the first rappel. For the second, i used a sling that was already there. Inspected it to make sure it wasn't pinched between rocks, tattered, sun faded or otherwise damaged.

One of the better granite peak videos I’ve seen! Well done!
Thanks... we're no mediocre amateur but I try lol
I find it interesting that Montana’s highest peak & Wyoming’s highest peak have really similar sounding names.

@@summitspecials Hopefully you can. Have you been to the highest points in any other states?
7:07 Amazing work documenting climbing maneuvers.
Thank you!
What an epic climb, glad it stayed dry for your ascent!
Us too! lol I was nervous bc we were so behind on time getting to summit
Thanks a lot! Now Granite Peak is on my must do list, as if I can afford that!
The mountain will be there 😉
Fantastic vid! My goal is to highpoint at least 45 out of the 50 US states
That ought to take a while lol. I don't know how many more state high points I'll collect, but I want to visit other mountain ranges more often. Cheers!
Awesome video, man!
Thanks for the comment! Cheers!
13:44 How long was the rope?
The rope was 60m total length. It was doubled over and the 30m was perfect for that rappell
great video! thanks.

8:30 I recognize that tune from Terafactory Texas.
The 126ers - Simpler Times 👍
Mayb not.. ive always wanted to hike to the highest point in montana.. i think ive changed my mind now. Ur video was good enough me.. haha
You should! haha, the area has so much to offer even if you don't go for the summit :)

Agreed. We wanted to see the lakes and were excited to try fishing at 9000ft! Had no idea how cumbersome the boulder fields would be lol
@@summitspecials Yeah we got shut down on the peak once and chose that way out... bad idea... lol
Great capture of your fun funny glissade in shorts! Definitely gave us some laughs. Do you ever wear boots?
Thanks! That part was a nice surprise lol. These days I only wear boots when I need crampons
Great climb. Fantastic glissade! So it looked like 2 pitches of rappelling...? What length of rope do you recommend..?
just saw the end of the video. 60m.. great

Great video! How long was the rope you used to rappel?
Thanks! The rope is 60m
Are there anchors/loops up top for the rappels?
What you may come across is slings or cordellette left by other climbers. No permanent anchors. I believe I set up my own sling for the first rappel. For the second, i used a sling that was already there. Inspected it to make sure it wasn't pinched between rocks, tattered, sun faded or otherwise damaged.
