How freaking awesome! You are the first comment I've seen on a video after meeting you during a hike. You guys are beasts! Those three peaks in one hike in one day is super impressive. And yes, our feet and ankles were sore for at least two days after that trek. Much respect
We just did another hike this past weekend and I swear I was still feeling some fatigue from the Hagues Peak hike from the week prior. I stand by that it was an awesome adventure but also one of the hardest hikes of my life that I've done up to this point. The Isolation Peak & Mahana Peak combo from this weekend was also very tough, but at least the route finding was simpler than Hagues which was like a puzzle up near the top.
YES!!! Nice job! Super badass route finding... way to stay focused. And... Thank you! 🤘 Quick question: Do you mind if I put a link to one of your videos in my next video description?
Very neat! I did Hagues peak and Rowe peak last week starting from the Pingree park side (stormy peaks trail) and coming back down the mummy pass trail. That way definitely required less technical scrambling but it brings the mileage up to about 25 miles total.
Thank you for sharing your mileage stats with me, I was always curious what the distance was from that side. A 25 mile day is a super epic hike. This hike here for us on Hagues has been our longest to date so far with right under 20 miles at the end.
Nice work! I'm probably going to have to give a quadruple boom on the summit of Comanche Peak on Saturday (hopefully it's not tooooo smoky). Never give up!
Best of luck on the hike and weather, wishing you the best on that adventure. The way we went up to Comanche Peak from Emmaline Lake on our video was probably the toughest route possible described in Lisa Foster's RMNP book. If you want a more moderate approach, I'd advise to start from the Corral Creek TH instead, take it over to Mummy Pass trail lower, then up the Mirror Lake trail, and cut off towards Comanche Peak there. But if you want the full boulder field hiking experience, by all means go the same way we did, it was tough but worth it for the challenge. And I love to hear it! BOOM!
@@mikeess If you keep stats for your hike, I'd love to know them from that route to compare them to the way we went. I just remember after Emmaline Lake climbing through those boulders did take a lot of time for us to get to the ridge.
The climb between Hagues and Mummy is an easy class 2 _if_ you find the right area, and going that way shaves some distance off of the hike compared to going to the Saddle (though the view from the Saddle is great and worth it). I have never down-climbed between M&H, but have gone up that way and thought finding the route on the way up isn't that hard (finding it on the way down, as is often the case, is more difficult). Though once you're up on Hagues, it's only 400-500' more gain to hit Mummy on the way back and then descend by intersecting the Black Canyon trail
I agree with you. Now that I've had multiple days to absorb the hike, the easiest way back down is definitely going over Mummy Mountain back down to that Black Canyon trail intersection. If I did it all over again, I'd go same way to The Saddle and up to Hagues, then over to Mummy and down the way you described. And yes, I'm betting the climb to that saddle between Mummy and Hagues is easier on the way up versus down.
Thank you for the sub! Hope you enjoy our future hiking adventures coming out, and also our older videos on here too. We are trying our best to show the way to help inspire others if they are interested in attempting any of the Rocky Mountain National Park hikes.
Awesome! I did Mummy and Hagues July 15th I watched your mummy video for helpful beta. I placed that little yellow and blue notebook in the register there that day since the other paper was full. Any other names in between my entry and yours, if you recall? The way up from the Saddle looks much spicier than the traverse from Mummy!
That is awesome to hear! Getting both peaks in one hike is a beast move, congratulations! That is why we make our videos, to give others visuals on the routes that we choose to help out on your personal route finding adventures. I regret to inform that we were so fatigued and overjoyed to reach the summit, that I thought Christine found the register when she didn't and we forgot to sign it! Facepalm. She didn't even know there was one until she saw the footage. 😂 But hey, at least we have the video evidence lol.
I've seen a couple of videos of people climbing Hagues but they never show the final part which looks to be very tricky. Wonder how those two dudes did it.
They told me they came from Mummy first and climbed the ridge over to Hagues so it was a little more straight forward that way, but as for coming down Hagues Peak, I'm not sure, they were too far up for me to tell how they did it. The last part was a little tricky I agree, but I believe if you just keep skirting around the side heading east-ish and go up how we did near the radio tower, that it is doable without being too sketchy. I do not like exposure and was somehow able to get up it.
Very cool!
My buddy Danny and I were the two hikers you saw doing mummy hagues and Fairchild!! Our feet were toast after that day! So nice to meet yall!

Love the video. I went to Crystal Lakes a few years ago. I was soooo tired when I got back. Soooo worth it!

Its been 15 years or so but I will never forget the epic day of getting onto this remote peak!
I hope we brought back some memories for you. The hike was epic and we will never forget the memories of that day either.
Awesome adventure. There is nothing like the special feeling when you reach a hard earned summit. Congrats
Thank you so much!! 100% correct and still feeling that summit high!!
Thank you! It was an awesome challenge, no regrets. I have seen you hike some crazy exposure on your hike videos, very much inspiring!
Just watched your Kit Carson/Challenger Point vid last night. Very cool!
YES!!! Nice job! Super badass route finding... way to stay focused. And... Thank you! 🤘
Quick question: Do you mind if I put a link to one of your videos in my next video description?
Thank you! Hardest hike of my life....so far, lol. You are more than welcome to link any video. No problem at all. And as always BOOM!

Cant wait to hike one of these big boys with you guys!
Dude every skill from every hike I've ever done before lead up to this one, and it still tested all of my limits like never before. An epic journey.
@@MoodyPeaks I could tell by the way you were talkin at the end this time bro. You guys are badasses

Thanks! I'm definitely taking the mellower (though longer it seems) route from Corral Creek!

@@MoodyPeaks I use Zoleo so can't do measured distance but I can definitely keep track of time!

The quadruple boom 😂😂😂😂
Yeah I had that Rocky Mountain high kicking in. I was slightly delirious. 😂
@@MoodyPeaks I'm jealous lol
