    Great work Justin, thanks for the video. Would like to see the return to the bike, biking back, etc. The action was great, then afterwards, would enjoy hearing your comments after the trip about the logistics, what went well, not so well, etc.

      I def. planned to shoot more, but sometimes these trips get away from me. It's an extra load to shoot AND climb and I have to be mindful of getting down safely. The other problem (in winter) is batteries getting too cold and the cameras stop working. For this trip, my hope was to shoot some footage barreling down Guanella Pass Road, but I was really late getting back to camp and had to beat the clock to make it to the bus stop before the last bus was tp arrive. If I missed it, I'd have to ditch an extra night! Always looks a little more smooth in the video than it is :) Next video will have more aftermath, more talking, and probably less music - fun to experiment with the format!

      @@TheLongRanger The music was great! Thanks again for your efforts! I know that's not easy, even for you.

    Thanks for making this, these videos bring me a lot of peace. And you did some of my favorite parts of the Sawtooth one-handed (and some twice!). Also I hope you had a ride back from Blue Sky or had parked a car there and did not have to go down that gully and snowshoe across that field where it is normally marshy in summer.

      Haha: def. had to do down that gully! Once the sun went down, it got COLD.

    How do you get the moving shots where the camera tracks you like when you rode your bike through the curve on the road? Or when you came walking up the trail and wandered off in the distance.

      There’s a few techniques, but many of the tracking shots are done during post where I have to reframe all the shots from the 360 footage. Time consuming ;)

    What day was this? Conditions look pretty nice up there

      This was Jan. 31st. Pretty easy summiting Bierstadt, the rest of the snow was quite middling for sure!

    Awesome vid per usual, Justin! Hey, what do you use for ice traction in the winter? I recently picked up some Black Diamond Distance Spikes to replace my old microspikes, and while I love them on paper, I'm finding them flimsy.

    • @TheLongRanger
      @TheLongRanger  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Always depends, but I usually use something like Kahtoola microspikes (kahtoola.com/traction/microspikes-footwear-traction/) or if I can get away with it, screw shoes ( th-cam.com/video/XFKulLJviHM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tXEQZRJllsX5hlT2&t=531 ) Some of my shoes, like the La sportiva Blizzard GTX have embedded carbide tips, which get me through a surprising amount of terrain (www.lasportivausa.com/blizzard-gtx.html). If I need more than the microspikes, I use a pair of hiking crampons, - also from Kahtoola - which are compatible with trail runners. It takes more technical terrain for me to really want more.

    Way too much twirling -- makes me too sick to watch...

      What can I say? I'm a dancer at heart.
