“30 seconds in and I’m already winded” - Yep, I know that feeling well! Nice video, Nick.

Haha! Gotta love those hikes that just start going straight up!

Love the sheep at the end.

Enjoyed the video as usual. Thanks Nick.

Great hike , really nice drone footage to! Thanks for sharing.

[@nicksangetta8874]

Thanks Lauren! I feel like I went a little long with the drone footage. I'm still trying to find the perfect balance so it doesn't slow the pace of the video. But it's hard to fly it for 10 mins only to use 30 seconds worth footage. I keep wanting to put all of it in!

Thanks Frank!

Always a good workout. Been up there 3 times myself over 3 different trails, and it’s was windy at the top every time

[@nicksangetta8874]

It's a good go-to winter hike! But yes, it is always windy up there. I think it's because there is nothing to block the mountain. That wind comes ripping through the estes valley and slams the Crosier summit.

Great hike man !! Loved that two-car shuttle 💪🏼

[@nicksangetta8874]

Thanks for driving so we could do it! Now we just need to do that big 2 car shuttle in RMNP.. you know the one. Wink Wink

Nice views. Pretty solid winter hike. Did it 3 times this year. Some good gain from Garden Gate. Bring on the high peaks!

[@nicksangetta8874]

Nice! Sounds like you know the mountain well. I try to do it once a year in the off season.. but that Garden Gate route is no joke! Id say that's a "hard" hike taking it up that way. Not super crazy but definitely hard.

[@dr.nigelcool3771]

Views are great when the tall peaks are still covered with snow.

[@barbsangetta8381]

Great footage of that beast of a mountain (well, for me anyway). I remember going up from the Garden Gate TH, and I thought we'd never get to the peak! Loved the music, and as usual another awesome job of filming and producing! ❤

nice to have a drone that listens to you,, lol had one try and the drone was lost over some houses

[@nicksangetta8874]

I wonder where your drone went? I am cutting back on the risky shots because my insurance on it runs out in July. I can't afford another one if I crash it so I am being much safer with the flights. When I first got it I liked to see how close I could get to rocks and stuff. I can't believe it survived my first few months with it. I had some super close calls.

Nice video . And nice drone footage . What drone did you end up getting ?

[@nicksangetta8874]

Thank you! I bought a used DJI mini 3 pro drone.
