    My 20 year old brain says "Hey that's looks amazing"...my 50 year old body says "Awwww HELL NO"....and then I seen the exposed scrabbling and my brain suddenly agreed with my body lol...awesome video as always.

    Hey Luke! Sourena here, it was a pleasure to meet you and Sunny on the trail that day on my way back down with my mom. You guys crushed this one, just getting to the lake is an effort on its own let alone the traverse! Thanks for the video, you have added another BC hike to my list.

      Thanks Sourena. It’s very impressive to see your mom hiking that trail. Good for both of you.

    Man this channel makes me so homesick for BC and my time living in a 4Runner there. Wedgemount is such a beautiful spot and such a fun hike. Can't wait to go back there and explore the alpine around it.

    Pardon me for pointing out;
    A while ago it was hikes with the dog, camping , split boarding, etc.
    But I couldn't help but notice, that you are now literally Mountain Climbing...
    yes climbing freaking mountains!!!
    Just an observation.

    That ridge is wild. I love the placement of the 360 camera on the helmet I'm going to have to adopt that for my films, it gives a great hands free perspective.

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, I’d love to take more shots with the main camera during the scramble, but you need your hands free and stopping frequently to take out the camera, film, and put it away again is just not time efficient. So the 360 camera on the helmet works best in this scenario, although I like a mix of different shots and perspectives.

    • @IdRatherBeHiking

      @@lifeofluke I struggle with this alot, I use a7siii as my main shooter but often Im so exhausted and time sensitive I pull out my dji pocket 2 1 handed to grab some on the go shots and 360 camera for more dramatic situations. Dont forget the drone and dji action... haha too many cameras. I'm looking at that new sony xperia 1 v basically seems to do everything except offer a selfie screen when vlogging.

      Just got back from the traverse! It's so much fun! Unfortunately the blue ridge tarn is flashed out by a giant blow hole lower down the glacier. Got a little headache after 10hrs of intense sun, otherwise came back in one piece. Thanks again for the video. That helped a lot 😄 @@lifeofluke

      ​@lifeofluke, thank you! I hope to get the free time to do this next year. I found my self in Lynden WA last year only a few hrs from this place when I purchased a oneway ticket to seatac. Then I bought a super scoot off Craigslist and road it 3500 miles home to MN doing adventures all the way. When in the cascades I found your channel and you have great content. Thank you for sharing! 👍
