I like that lake! I summitted Langley for the 1st time on the 21st as a day hike, also via Old Army Pass (most direct), but ran low on water despite taking 2 liters from Cottonwood Lake #4, thought I was going to die. 40+mph/40'F on Summit, all I wanted was down! Long day, wish I more time to acclimate. And, I was delighted to also see the Bighorns at ~13k. Likely electrolyte mismanagement as well. Gorgeous route and the smoke held off.
Honestly, I absolutely love these. They are the Vallon Heron sunglasses. lightweight, great lenses, flexible. I got them when the brand was new and they were half of what they cost today. But tbh I still think they're worth the cost.
Great video! Do you happen to have your track recorded for this? If so, I would love to see it. It would be excellent data for planning my hike for this summer....especially in seeing your route down Langley and General Sherman, into the basin. My Day 2 plan is to go from Cottonwood Lk 3, summit Langley and then down and camp at Sky Blue Lk. Very similar to what you did, but my current plan has no off trail, so will be quite a bit longer than the down you took.
I remember around third week of June 2022 the weather in Sierra above 10k feet went bad and night temp drops down to 20s. Was your trip before that time or after?
This is the six moon designs Deschutes Plus! Very lightweight. I use it in conjunction with a piece of plastic from home depot as a floor to keep the bugs out.

Great video. What sunglasses are you wearing? And would you recommend them?

Cool stuff.
Bro, where’s the summit beer?😂
I was so dedicated to finishing this year that I didn't bring any alcohol. They tasted sweeter when I got back! 😋
@@trvrsoutdoors You're a better man than me!
Fantastic journey and well-made video! Mind if I ask which app do you use to edit your videos?
Thank you! This is done on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Hilarious. During. The last two nights were horrible. I huddled into the bottom if my 40* down quilt and just hunkered. Those were some long nights.
@@trvrsoutdoors you are a tough guy! I was in pine creek trail and still felt cold with my 15 degree quilt back then.
Hey AarJay what tent are you using?
