Glad to see a barefoot man demonstrating the joy of hiking barefoot. I see you are new to TH-cam I have thought about posting, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to shoot the videos so as to show me walking barefoot in an interesting manner. I can tell you are struggling with that as well. Don’t give up we need more barefoot men leading the way.
I'm surprised you wore shoes for the descent. Staying barefoot would have been hard work for your feet, toughening them up considerably. As a barefoot hiker myself, the way I got myself out of the habit of resorting to shoes when things got tough was to leave them in the car. If they're not with you, you can't wear them. And if you made it to the summit barefoot, you can make your way back down without shoes too 😀
I hear you. My criteria for putting on shoes is generally 1. safety and 2. needing or wanting to get somewhere by a certain time. YTD, my total training miles (walking, hiking, running) = 94% barefoot
@@posnerk123 That's an excellent percentage. Hopefully you can get to 100% eventually. As your feet toughen speed may increase and any remaining safety concerns fall away.

Another great example of your mountaineering and barefoot skills. Hope to learn more of this ascent in your blog.
working on it now!
