Thank you for your efforts putting this together. It's beautiful Christine. Very cool to see it through your eyes. You were an amazing partner out there. Love you...
Thank you for the lovely footage. It is amazing how fear can affect someone - to the point of freezing and not being able to move at all. But if you think about it, it's all in your mind. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.....and it is stopping people of living fulfilling lives. Climbing, riding motorbikes, flying, skiing, sailing, diving .....if you focus on your next step - you'll not have time to think on anything else ( including fear). With time ( exposure )you'll start relaxing and fully enjoying the experience. All this activities will teach you to live in NOW... ( mindfulness ) - and you will feel free like never before in your life. Thanks for posting and good luck in next adventure....
I do not even know how to express in words the VALUE of your brutal honesty and emotions depicted in this video . . . it should be MANDATORY VIEWING for all wanna-be backpackers . . . in my outdoor history, I have been confronted by grizzlies resulting in "iffy and stressful" situations, but I have never been sooooo stressed as viewing the raw emotions of this video . . . Christine, you and CAT are two exceptional human beings whose videos offer so much critical information for potential novice risk-takers . . . I truly believe your video will actually SAVE LIVES in the upcoming years for those who think, on a "whim", they want to take on the challenges of the Grand Canyon . . . beautiful, raw and brutally honest video!
great video. I related to the windy night. I was camping in a tent in the Anza Borrego desert and it was so windy I couldn't sleep from the noise and got into the car to get some zzzz's. I have always loved running on windy days but walking with a backpack in the midst of such winds in the wilderness does not sound appealing to me. I admire your determination. I also think you did a good job showing just how difficult and dangerous it can be out there on the 'trail'. you and your aunt radiate a goodness and energy that enhance the experience of the viewing of the incredible beauty of the nature around you. I think that is why I enjoy watching your/her videos so much. take care and thanks.
My wife, sister, brother in-law and I just completed this hike. We are all very experienced backpackers and we found this a hard hike. Just wanted to tell you how super impressed we all are that you did this as a first hike. Cheers!
Glad you guys had so much fum and returned safe. Great hike of course. I personaly like New Hance to the Confluence and if time and permit exists then up the Little Colorado to Sipipu. Of course I hike too much without the expected permits. Often wonder what will happen when I get caught ? Oh well... continue to be safe and have fun at Grand Canyon. !
I want to give both of you a lot of credit for achieving such a difficult hike. I was nervous just watching you! I couldn't believe that there are trails that difficult. Congratulations to you both.
OMG so I put this on thinking it was going to just be a typical HikeTuber vid & then like halfway through I could not look away like I was watching Free Solo or The Dawn Wall. THANK YOU for putting this out. I am brand new to backpacking & this is exactly the content I need to see. ❤️
I am so proud of you Christine! As I watch your videos and hike with you, I am seeing you grow right in front of my eyes. This is certainly your best work yet! You captured those scary and uncomfortable moments that we're always running in to and talking about. You let yourself be vulnerable to me, as your audience, and I appreciated it.
What an amazing hike. Fantastic scenery. Some tough sections on the trail. Wonderful video and great personal experience input. Thanks for such a lovely video. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe out there.
Interesting area. I studied geology at NAU in Flagstaff. Most of my work was along the Kiabab and Bright Angel trails. Geologically, the Grandview Area looks interesting. Thanks.
Awesome video Christine. I was glued for the entire hour. You caught some great landscape footage, and some very scary descents. Amazing. Thanks for recording all that and producing this video. Loved it.
Definitely looks like it was a type II fun kind of trip (but those end up being the best ones) you will never forget it! I appreciate you making this video. The Grand Canyon is SOO beautiful!
Look what was in my feed this morning! This was great! After watching your most recent videos and now this one, I think it's obvious that you have improved your skills and become an accomplished/experienced hiker. (When my grandsons are older I would love to hire you to guide them on their first overnight!)
What a surprise , I see the thumb nail with Cat I was thinking I missed one of her videos but too my surprise I find someone else to follow along. I have seen you in Cat's vids and now have a friend in Washington. Good job I guess I'll have to go back and check on some other of your videos Christine.
You girls are tough. I did some GC hiking many years ago- down the grandview trail, along the tonto trail, up bright angel- 4 nights and 5 days. After getting back to the rim my legs were wrecked, my muscles were so tight I couldn't even run for a week.
Unbelievable! Phenomenal hike! Can't believe you two did this on your own. The route finding made me fill nervous for you, as well as those climbs down the talus chutes. Congratulations, nice accomplishment.
Christine I am proud of you, everything from the planning, staying on route, managing challenging terrain; and all the while capturing great story telling video footage; then you did not simply edit and post a hiking video, but you told a great story of the adventure with emotion. Bravo Zulu!
OMG! I dont know how to start. CONGRATULATIONS! That was a very tough route, you two are very brave. Look at the skill sets you have now learned for the future!!! Besides the beauty of the canyon, this is a testament of your courage and teamwork. I'm sure the video did not show the sheerness of the cliff and rock wall. Something you will always have a right to Brag about. Amazing, fantastic. GREAT JOB! Thank you for sharing your emotions, it was real. Thank to you and Cat!
Awesome movie and what an amazing adventure! You are so inspiring to me. And yes, the emotional response after being scared is normal. I can remember having a mini panic attack after a bit of canyoneering. I was ok until I got past the really hard and scary part, then I just broke down. It's amazing what we can do when we have to, and then when it's over, we can't hold it in anymore. You did an amazing job!
Wow. You've really upped your game. Outstanding presentation and outstanding job on your part in capturing the essence of the trip. So proud to see all the progress you've made over the years. Thanks for sharing. Good luck and God bless!
I watched the whole thing and teared up at the end! So moving! Thank you for sharing your journey and process with us. Very inspiring to me as I take the baby steps to keep challenging myself in the outdoors :)
Full respects for that hike Christine and with Catherine to. The overriding theme was that wind - I bet it did suck it out of view. Mind you with glimpses of epic scenes like those you were constantly greeted with I bet you lost sight of the wind from time to time. I just realized at the start I've been commenting here from the beginning. Happy to still be here. All the best. Mark
I hope your part mountain goat I think you girls will make it but I think it's crazy there and Hell that's wack good luck but of course we're watching the video so we know you made it
I'm impressed. That was some tough terrain! Few times you came to a scramble and I was like "there's no way in hell she's getting up/down that"...but you proved me wrong each time :)
After watching both your videos... this trail definitely is not for the faint of heart!!! You did a great job capturing the rough terrain!!! Awesome edit too!!! 👊
That looked like such a challenge! I’m super inspired by both of you and in awe of your wall descents. Another beautiful video that documented the trip nicely. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻Great job!
Really enjoyed this video, obviously a lot of hard work went into creating this and it shows. I truly hope to see more from you and your channel very soon. :)
Nicely done. Nicely done! Tenacious ass kicker you are. Tanner has been on the list for some time but I came up scared when contemplating the Papago slide and some descent portions of Tanner. Had a good look in person over the slide last year during a trip into Hance and came up still chicken. Maybe one day...Sigh. Thanks for the honest input. Perhaps a travel down the Tanner Trail looks more doable sans Papago as an IN/OUT hike now for me. I'd say your boots are well seasoned after an experience like that. The Canyon is always willing to humble a person (easy or hard trip itin). Brave souls for enduring Mr Wind. Your trip looks well researched, executed and in good company.. Props!
Great job on the hike Christine and great video. It’s not easy putting together a decent video when you’re slogging through a tough hike. I’m planning on being there next May, can’t wait. Just curious, what was your pack weight when you started, 35-40#?
Butchart's Notch at 31:30 75 mile Canyon at 40:30 - I like to use the very end descent, but this is the highlight of the trip. Papago Wall at 49:35 Papago Slide at 52:55. Well done.
You should bring rope to lower your packs down and it's good to have incase you need it. Did you have to camp on the sand? Was there anywhere else? I have never had good experiences on sand lol! Grand Canyon is no joke good job nice video.
hi Your video is fantastic, and very enjoyable. Curious, what camera did you use....was it a gopro ? And the water filter you used, did you let the silt settled down in a portable fabric bucket before you use your filter to prevent damage to your filter? I saw in other videos that if you try to filter that brown silt laden colorado water, it immediately damages the water filter .
That was NOT an easy hike...you and Cat were very brave. So happy no one got hurt. thought it was cool seeing your perspective of the trip verses Cat's. If you get a chance...read the book by Colin Fletcher.."The Man Who Walked Through Time". I thin you would enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing all your video trips this year...
L B our packs weighed the same amount. Christines pack is a 58 liter and mine is a 65 liter. Hers is smaller, but the weight was the same and we carried the same amount of gear.
I have noticed every time you upload a video a thumbs down immediately appears. This viewer has a love/hate relationship with you as they continue to support your channel. Creepy 😳
Thank you for your efforts putting this together. It's beautiful Christine. Very cool to see it through your eyes. You were an amazing partner out there. Love you...

Thank you for creating this TH-cam channel. Hiking is simply glorious.
You did amazing Christine - and you should be proud of yourself. What an accomplishment! You are unstoppable now by conquering your fears. Bravo!

Lovely, Christine. Plus your music overlay's are terrific. Really complements Cat's footage.
@@nomad_unknown I wasn't aware that Cat's footage was spliced in here with yours. I was referring to 'her' footage, she posted.

Wow, amazing!

@@nomad_unknown That's OK-good to know you're learning. Hardship is a leveler!
Fantastic video!
Good job Ladies 👏👏
I will be doing this trail in two weeks! Super exciting! ❤️
Another great video. Dont know if I would want to scale those cliffs without rope and a guide.😯
It was a risky move on our part.
Well done! One day I'll do some back country backpacking there.
I hope your part mountain goat I think you girls will make it but I think it's crazy there and Hell that's wack good luck but of course we're watching the video so we know you made it

christine you addicted me with your video . i wish the last time i could see you in iceland
Didn't look like you had much fun at all.. but as long as in your head you accomplished something it's worth it.
Nicely done. Nicely done! Tenacious ass kicker you are. Tanner has been on the list for some time but I came up scared when contemplating the Papago slide and some descent portions of Tanner.

Great video. Love your filming and editing style! Great job!
Great adventure, which month did you do this? Thanks
Would you do this route again? Or rather "glad I did it, but never again" It looked pretty tough, especially with the packs.
Just came from Cat's channel to sub, looks like you make some good vids. Looking forward to watching more.
I'm wondering what shoes you both wore and if you recommend them?
Great job on the hike Christine and great video. It’s not easy putting together a decent video when you’re slogging through a tough hike. I’m planning on being there next May, can’t wait. Just curious, what was your pack weight when you started, 35-40#?
Butchart's Notch at 31:30

What time of the year was your hike?
As I recall, this trip was in early March 2019. :)
Congrats on completing this Very Challenging Trek ,Great footage. Was this a Keto hike?
That was NOT an easy hike...you and Cat were very brave. So happy no one got hurt. thought it was cool seeing your perspective of the trip verses Cat's. If you get a chance...read the book by Colin Fletcher.."The Man Who Walked Through Time". I thin you would enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing all your video trips this year...
Is that. Cat. Hiking with you
❤️❤️🥰🥰😍😍
3 hours for the slide??? Rangers say that’s an area you don’t wanna spend a lot of time. That’s my favorite part of the whole route.
Exactly....longer you are there bigger the risk of new rocks falling down on you.....
You're awesome... but girl, talk to your friend about packing lighter! Her load was huge!
L B our packs weighed the same amount. Christines pack is a 58 liter and mine is a 65 liter. Hers is smaller, but the weight was the same and we carried the same amount of gear.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Wow, you must be itty bitty. The pack looked huge on your back!
I have noticed every time you upload a video a thumbs down immediately appears. This viewer has a love/hate relationship with you as they continue to support your channel. Creepy 😳
Haters!
These keyboard warriors need to realize the time and effort it takes to create these videos. Misery loves company I guess.
