hey everyone over the next 4 days we'll be attempting to climb one of the north cascade's most difficult Peaks Mount chuen it's going to be a super exciting Journey from the Tre in cramp oning across the Curtis Glacier passing by extremely Steep icefalls and hopefully rock climbing all the way up to the Summits rarely can you ever just see the mountain from where you're starting on the trail head I know that's so nice come on let's do this Justin here best freaking climber I know Mountain shcks in here we come so myself and Justin who's going to be guiding us today started off on the trail and this is my first time in Washington state it's absolutely beautiful just look at all the trees that we're walking through right now holy moly anyways our main checkpoint right now is to get to a lake called Lake an and from there we're going to be able to see our entire route leading up to the summit going down right here yeah dropping into the valley yeah so dropping about 700 ft then we'll have to go all the way back up once we get up thereo but hey I can't complain this is the pack right now we're lugging we're self-sufficing out here slepping you look like a real climber with that rope though got a rope yeah I don't know how to use it but I've got it what are those metal things with spikes on your back well the good weather should be pretty nice the next couple days it looks like yeah next to looks super nice and then Sumer day might be kind of cold yeah Justin's saying we got a nice 10 to 12 hour day on Summit day if we go the special routes oh yeah what is the special routes you ask well essentially we're going to be going up the traditional route but once we get on to the high Glacier we're actually going to be taking a left instead of a right which is what most people take and I mean that probably hasn't been climbed this season or in the past few years at all so we don't know if there's kasses snow bridges that could collapse but we're just going to give it a shot anyways just cuz it would be cool to climb a route that hasn't even been climbed season but yeah we weren't really worrying about that right now we were just working through this Valley trying to get to Lake an I'm not going to lie I barely looked into what the climb was like so perfect we're just rocking with it going to take it as it goes but it looks pretty fun it looks epic oh this looks oh this looks nice beautiful the valley so walking through these valleys and we'll come up onto the mountain moving through the valley we got this stream right here it's kind of sketchy but we were just up there that's that big hill that was covering the mountain now we got the summit of Mount shuen very beautifully there I think you can kind of see the routes what do you think that helicopter's doing up there I don't know they don't do any like supply drops it said the wild fire watch was high on that sign you think they could be looking around yeah I don't know I bet we'll see fires from the summit really on this side we're not in the Smoke yet but they've closed like two or three roads that passes that go to the east side of Washington cuz there's a sh ton of fires over there wow but anyway we continued moving in and out of the trees we're mostly going down right now because that's just how this track in starts but we were just about to hit the bottom of it so we could finally start moving up into the mountains all right Chuck's over those trees just down a solid 700 ft what's going on what is going on supposed to going up the mountain look at this guy brought the whole Trader Joe's sandwich you got to have the baguette he's not messing around be classy out here yeah we're taking a small break right here we were back there we're like couple hours in or something I don't know not keeping track we're just getting after it now we're going to head back up here and keep going you can see the mountains a little bit up there making some elevation gain now we're going up finally whoa big stream right here take it easy oh well I really do want to get my feet wet we're shooting up this mountain now now we're going uphill making back the progress we lost finally taking ground after a little bit more trekking we finally left the trees and made our way into this more Barren Alpine Zone a lot of rocks a lot of smaller Shrubbery but a lot of good views of the mountains nearby such as Mount Baker but we were going to move through this and it was getting a little bit more difficult for sure cuz it's just getting more Steep and we also see some snow coming up so it's going to get interesting big Glacier right here oh gosh wait is it creeping on the trail oh it is wowzers cofin yeah Baker is looking nice up there good Summit day anybody can climb in bluebirds though that tree right there is decimated what even happened a little breeze yeah we're getting pretty close it's where my finger is Bam Summit we've already come such a long way hello you're almost there just over this r almost a quarter of the way there I mention we continue to make our way up in elevation kind of just moving across these rocks and little snow patches that were left over from the winter but um as we reached around 5,000 ft or so we're pretty much right at Lake an which once again is where the hike ends and the climb actually begins but you know we had to get that coal plunge first alternative route the Normie routes the sigma route oh jeez I'm going to be honest Lake and looks a little cold yeah this is uh a cold plunge if I've seen one what would goggin do bro how are we going to climb all the way up there we can't even do a little measly cold punch so that's another five oh wait no 4,000 ft to get to the top of that route is pretty crazy though as you you can see no we got close to this it used to be just a small hill just in a few hours we're moving out here moving but yeah I think yeah that's the glacier now Curtis Glacier and we'll kind of wrap around but this looks epic we'll be fun but first we got business to handle here nice place to swim right there yeah this is beautiful come on this is sick out of the wind K me cold plunge with the view of our our climb yeah this is nice yeah we'll take that oh it's not even that bad you just got to ignore the pieces of ice Setter I think it's going to be really cold why does that look like poop just avoid that that patch ooh it is brisky here you just got to get it over with dude that's got to be so cold nice all right testosterone skyrocketing right now all right here we go about to fly up the mountain all right all are you going for the head dip yeah yeah yeah mad man all right we're post cold plunge yeah now we're ready we're getting out of here heading up the mountain even more now come on come on let's lock back in after that Excursion we got our packs back on and then just continue trekking back up the trail as you can see it's pretty mellow here we got a bunch of big boulders but it's going to get really steep soon although it's not really comparable to what we'll be going through in the next few days but this is called the Fisher chimney a very iconic part of the route it's just going to get really steep really fast and have some good rock climbing which we're really going to have to lock in on cuz we do have 40 lb packs which is always a little bit sketchy when you're rock climbing with but um yeah we're just making our way up to them right now and look at this view I mean Massachusetts has has better views but this is pretty good I'm not going to lie the camera pan giant rock to Justin to Mount Baker to the valley and then to chucken literally a 360 p Panorama n is moving up this Ridge pretty much above the tree we're going above these trees right here these are some of the tallest boys up here got some small Shrubbery up there but not going to lie just the environment right here one of the most scenic oh totally approaches I've been on even compared to the base camp track so before we could really start dialing in some elevation gain on the Fisher chimney we had this giant ice pad PCH ice snow patch that was still there from the winter or as part of the glacier I'm not really sure but um it was literally just blocking us and you can actually slide down it and get really hurt so we had to take out our ice axes and Traverse over this thing before we can make it onto the [Music] chimneys climb heckling all right this like a moat a moat yeah so justtin pointed out that there was a moat in between where we needed to go and the snow patch we were standing on my mans went to go investigate it and oh boy was there a moat and we were standing right on top of that overhang above literally a 10t drop absolutely insane so we just traversed down went around it and then finally we were on the Fisher chimney where we were going to get some rock climbing in and then hopefully make it up to Camp by the end of the day just look at like I I was literally standing right there you never even realize that thing is held up by that pillar so we started our way up the chimneys which we're going to get progressively more technical as we went on and of course Justin had us on a rope because he is my guide and I went through a company so if I ended up dying because I wasn't roped in it wouldn't be the best look so we're being extra safe this trip don't worry about it Mom but anyways things start to get much more interesting as we're going up in altitude with some really nice drops on the side oh yeah the elevation gain is coming in now I know now we're getting how'd that feel that was nice pretty chill pretty easy the pack with the 40 makes it interesting 45 pound yeah cuz you have to be so much more careful like with the way you move your body yeah cuz you're a little bit like unbalanced yeah from it I feel like too much jolt you're just like that's why I was falling off the trail so much cuz it' be like you'd step off a little bit and then you're yeah the glacier the summit's still pretty far away you know how it has that hazy look to it that just shows us far away yeah now we're looking at the chimneys proper they go kind of straight up through these these cffs oh I think so right there kind of to the left of those trees yep exactly we'll kind of go up through there there's some like traversing to the right as well um and we'll make our way basically up to that Glacier up there okay so yeah we're going going to be y That's tag and cold then boom Glacier kind of work our way around then top and usually people if you were climbing from the normal route I guess you'd go up that way yeah y miraculous dang I use a lot of adjectives in my videos but I've never used miraculous when you actually speak yeah people are making fun of me though like you say crazy too much and nice you know what I'm switching it up you go so there's kind of two parts to the Fisher chimney we just did the first one which is more Rock scrambling more calm more chill and now as we walk over these rocks up to the base of the second level as I like to call it it's going to get a lot more technical a lot more Steep and this will lead us right into Camp so we just had to Traverse up this bad boy okay making our way to the chimney approaching the chimney come on now some loose rockage here leading up man's treading this is lethal how did he go down this so fast your heels to like dig into the snow your might get a little wet but that's genius oh genius strategy come on yeah all right beginning of Fisher's chimney he's getting up there and we're just kind of going to work our way up going in turns making sure we don't fall progress so far oh yeah so so we started our way up at this part of the Fisher chimney it's going to get pretty steep from here on out of course I'm roped in Justin has anchored that rope to a rock right here as you can see so if I did fall you know I wouldn't slide off the edge of the mountain The Rock would catch me just an extra little safety measure as we move up this nice Traverse right here just take your time keep your left hand like on the mountain yeah ah what a nice Trail I know you just imagine that it's flat there and you walk normally exactly no no no guard rails no guard rails no railings help all right pause for a second there mom pick me up so after traversing across this Ridge we were approaching another part of the chimney and this would probably be the most technical and hardest parts of the entire Fisher chimney well this one's fun I know it's fun putting the tx4 to work baby oh absolutely the that Traverse is the coolest section yeah look just how aesthetic it is it's like right on a cliff I know that was that was crazy looking at it now is like oh you know but like now you can see the drop perfectly yeah I love this route it's so cool look how agile he is no fear oh hello you little yellow jackets please get off I'm about to lock in stop I'm locking in you're not getting a free climb buddy you're not getting a free climb I feel like it' be so sketchy if you were going up this and people are above you like a rock just there's so much loose Rock You just got taken out that's why we got the helmets on hello these Yellow Jackets are crazy what is his name sir yeah this big step huh l you know I work the lunges L the step UPS lunge the pull up the Step Up guess how much step UPS I'll do in my basement the dungeon with a 35 pounder on 200 reps 800 oh here we go let's go so I think once we get to the top of this sort of Hill we're nearing the glacier yeah getting towards the top of the chimney here G the glacier this is what we just been working up and we'll stop at the glacier push up the next day or yeah morning as you can see we've made quite a bit of elevation gain on the Fisher chimney you can see the lake all the way off in the distance but we just had one more parts of the chimney and then we'll be getting onto the glacier and it'll just be a little bit longer until we reach our camp oh just moved up this chimney Glacier right here it's like a whole different level World seriously yeah that's so cool yeah the chimneys all fall away and there's just a huge Glacier coming off the north side of shen and then all those Peaks that way that's all Canada like look at this snow just giant Glacier this is what we like to see about to get some technical ice climbing in right here up on to this all right let's see it just one jump all right let's see it be an athlete beautifully done let's go that's something our ancestors would have done that was Primal why don't we pop out our our ice axis just in case yeah who knows could be a snow bridge collapse here we're so far away now so we decided now would be a good time to rope up until we get to camp we also have our ice axes out because even though it doesn't look that dangerous if we do end up slipping at some points here we may fall thousands of feet off into the distance to our left as you can see and of course there might be a snow Bridge collapse you never know out here so it's better to be safe the heat it gets so much more hot when you're on the snow W beautiful push through what a nice little slope right there though no that would be a nice slide if you took a tumble oh yeah but you could hit a nicer rest on this so we were kind of like all the way down there like we were on the other side of this thing when we started you see where those cars are way in the distance oh yeah damn wait find it cars there's a road there oh yeah you can see the cars we didn't park there but very yeah very very close to those shimmering boys and then zoom and now we're way over here yeah getting on par with Mount Baker not quite there yet but after traversing over that snow we walked up these rocks which would lead us to a pretty solid Camp location which we'll set out from for the summit tomorrow morning is this a spot this is a spot this could be home could be nice no this is looking like home sweet home solid day working up all that and then uh nice and early make our move up this and that's the summit up there here's what we got going you already all know the drill the fruit leather every break RX bar every break dude but you got to get you got the chicken tenders yeah this guy is chicken tenders like come on this isn't insane Strat of course I do and then of course we have the fit Aid get the amino acids in lot of stuff and the coke uh creatine gets us from point A to point B you know what I mean no it is just creatine throw that in the water and we're good to go chicken tenders this is like Camp 2 man we're horist out here after about a 6 and 1/2 hour day we set up our tent set up our camp took some snow boiled it inside of the tent of course had the Zer degre sleeping bag just in case it gets chilly in the middle of the night and from there we just waited out until sunsets went to bed to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow to push for the Summits 500 a.m. we're out here got the sunrise on the other side oo look at those little clouds moving through up there Justin's out here boiling up some of that water so we can get that oatmeal we're going to make make our way out of this little Gulf we've been in make our way up there and continue up and then soon I don't know um 8 hours something like that we'll be up there so we started our summit's Push by moving up the lower winny slide that's what this little Hill is called it actually gets pretty steep so we're once again roping up Justin The Savage he is is going to move up set a pitch and then I can move up so again you know there there's a good little slide to uh our left here and if you went down that it probably wouldn't be pleasant as you'll see in a second moving up the Winnie slide that's an actual Cliff right there but uh Justin's just up there setting up the pitch hammering it in I'm almost up there I'm getting close or all right so now moved up what this is Winnie slide right yeah up there steep part Glacier now yeah things were starting to get a bit more real now as you can see the crevasses ice fall and just ice srax up ahead but basically our route is going to be moving up this um it's called the upper ctis Glacier and then we're going to be taking a left around the giant Summit pyramid that you see here instead of taking a right which is the traditional route past that Justin doesn't know what's over there I don't know what's over there we don't even know if it's climbable but we're going to get up there and give it a shots we're moving up the space right now ax is out just in case we uh no we don't tumble out here just we don't tumble but but if we did we have our axes to self we're chilling exactly before heading into the unknown we had to move all the way up this face to get onto the upper Curtis Glacier luckily the snow was pretty intact and Frozen so it offered good traction for our crampons to stick into but of course need to be careful especially when recording because now we're in a no fall zone so if one of us Falls the other person just has to ice ax a rest and hope it stops both of us cuz we're roped into each other it's so cool looking at that tent right there that's a nice tent spot cool spot kind of perched yeah what do we got in here little bowl little bowl action just and I about to hop on the long rope one of us Falls in a Kass other one to rest you'll catch me right yeah but I I don't know how to pull you out so it's okay I'll I'll send the Rope out hopefully he doesn't come to that continuing to make distance I mean that was some gainage already oh yeah a few few hundred feet Maybe 400 ft out of Camp just like that yeah so basically we're going to head up this so the normal route for shuen is you go up this and you would take the glacier to the left you know pretty mellow right now we're taking the sigma route we're going up to the left and we're going to like wrap around the entire thing then go up Untamed has it even been touched this season Justin uh probably not we'll see if we see tracks hidden Kass right here could even be a part of like this big crack yeah totally those things stretch even though the summit looks like it's right there we're going to have to Traverse around it and it's a couple thousand ft of gain so that's going to take a lot out of us but pretty cool you can see behind me the entire shadow of the mountain is casted on the entire landscape all righty this is where we begin our own our own routage the great unknown just walk up to where you were right yeah you can do the same yeah sure the great unknown usually you keep going straight on this Trail I don't see any track look at these clouds that thin layer of cloud all righty i' I've located mans's footsteps let's do it so this is the point where we Branch off from the traditional Trail over to our own little route as we continue up in elevation we just have to keep an eye out for an actual route that we can take up and make sure it's not blocked by crevasses or some sort of sketchy terrain that we shouldn't go over Lake an oh shoot that's it right there we've come so far and I wonder if we can see yeah you can see the you can still see the cars where we came up from oh big distance flatness a beautiful thing we got the Canadian mountain range on the left what's it called chill wax chill wax once we get over this'll be able to see the sunrise oh yeah it's already on Mount Baker back there man's getting close to that edge a it's such a cool Edge I need to get closer little birg shund right there yeah locating a route up and around that at Kass now we're indulging in an RX bar now we're going to head up this I believe we're actually going to go around this big rock and we'll take it around or we're either going to go like that and find our way up there from the other side here comes the man so currently we're on the left side of the summit pyramid trying to locate a route because there isn't any sort of trail that could tell us where to go but we did notice that if we went straight ahead we could Traverse through and then move up to the right of this rock up here which would put us on the north side of the mountain the only issue is on the right side there is kasses and on the left side there is a few th000 ft drop in an ice fall and not to mention it's incredibly steep leading into that so if one of us Falls I don't even think the ice ax would dig into the snow and it would definitely be over so I had to put away the GoPro here to make sure my footwork and just my focus was fully there Mini kumu ice fall right here that's crazy wild this little area is reassuring a little bit of a reason why nobody Treads up here that was brutal on the feet oh totally such a stse yeah once it flying down to bits I was able to bring out my GoPro and you can just see the actual scale of it now the head GoPro didn't capture how steep it actually was but this one definitely does the sun is cracking out right over that snow give me give me give me I want to see what's on the other side so bad we just been working up to this point for so long now all making it to the top here we got the sun coming out right there and here's the crack we were looking at and kind of we came from over there we literally went across that I mean that's insane look at that thing all right we're going to get over this then we're going to be in a little new territory we have less than 1,000 ft to go at least that's what my watch says yes sir it's always just a great feeling when you're mountaineering and you finally feel that sun on you after just traversing over cold snow in the shade for hours but yeah I mean we're finally getting onto the north side of the mountain which would lead us up to The Summit Ridge what beautiful are you kidding me look at there that thin layer of clouds is just so cool so we're going to probably drop down here and then go up somewhere behind this oh in the sun too and we're out of the wind as we move down onto the North Face of the mountain we're welcomed with a gigantic Glacier of course now we had to figure out a new route to be able to move further up the mountain and avoid any snow Bridges or kasses the one on the towards the right or on the left yeah so kind of go through like take it far back and then move in up that yeah that's what I'm thinking all right it looks like it just a small detour just move across this whole field back below us right here yeah I see no easy route huh not up here feel like you can just touch these clouds right here I know right there were some clouds forming but it wasn't anything severe yet so we continued making our way through this Glacier hoping to make it to the base of the summit's ridge which was just right there we just had to get to the base of it so we could begin climbing to the summit this is sick yeah wow just made our way from down there now this little flat Parts we're going to see if we can move up this if we can't get up this way we'll drop down and then go up that way more we want to stay to the right and we're moving up this whole bad boy until we get up to the top brother we're getting socked in brother down here where are y'all coming from we don't want you this snow is so soft look at this little sneaky guy sneaky crack wo just digg in these crampons in that's the key all moving up that big hill now finishing it off so we get on the ridge which is right up there that Traverse was pretty sketchy steep yeah and the snow is kind of unsteady now we're socked in we got back above it yeah we'll definitely get back above this with that we had completely circumnavigated the shuen summit's pyramid so now we're going to drop back into the normal routes which is the sulfide Glacier and we're just going to go up for a little bit before we get on to all rock which is going to be the Summit Ridge and that'll lead us to the summit and we were just going to have to push through this despite being out for around 5 hours or so and hope these clouds really don't get worse because they were getting a little bit frustrating at this point look at it come through the clouds so you move all the way up through that snow take thege on the right yeah or the ridge on the right all right now we just got to push up this bad boy we're approaching these rocks technical Rock climate is going to be so brutal after that haul totally all right the transition begins here once we found a good spot at the beginning of the Summit Ridge we took off our crampons and boots and put on much lighter just climbing shoes because now we're not really going to be on any snow or ice we're just going to be on rock of course we're going to stay roped up as we climb we're going to have to do a bunch of pitches to get up this thing because I mean we're exhausted at this point and now we have to climb up pretty steep Rock so yeah we just got started on that that was a nice one back in the sun right how's our plants up here it's wild so this is definitely the most technical climbing I've ever done so Justin was kind of giving me lessons as we were going up but essentially he moves up first sets up a cam and attaches the rope that I'm attached to on and kind of just keeps giving me slack as I move up so in case if I fall then the Rope is going to catch me you know I I'm trying to not be a tourist anymore guys there's no fixed lines out here this just true alpinism how I don't know how there's flowers up here makes no sense I'm even cold we're moving progress something moving up this see that Lake down there where my finger is that's where we took the cold plunge 8,800 ft about all right take out this little Larry right here all right walk in so now we were only just a few hundred ft away from the summit and it's at this point the ridge is going to get the most technical it's been so we really had to focus even with the wind battering us and honestly being pretty tired at this point w perfect hold oh this is primal is n sheesh that was a sweet pit yeah it was giant [ __ ] up how cool how we can see where we came from now yeah this other Glacier went new up and around and then up this once again it's going to get a little bit technical here so we're just kind of discussing the best routes we can take to move up this part we're taking our little Anchorage out all right we're about to have to lock in here cuz yeah this is uh this is definitely something right here got to get on to this part which is kind of weird definitely weird wow why does it smell like marijuana all of the sudden no way people are smoking up on top don't do drugs and now I go up this Justin who the heck is smoking up there one a bunch of hooligans so there were definitely some people smoking on top of the summit and all I got to say it's that's just classic but it does seem a little bit sketchy to be doing at 9,000 ft on technical Peak but anyways uh we just contined these pitch after pitch and the reason why it's a little bit sketchy is cuz you're kind of walking on an incline leaning into the right face of the ridge so just had to be really careful nice come on now come on the look back oh what a nice Ridge seriously all right this will be a good one we're so sucked in it's moving and going I'm coming all righty let's get up this bad boy so the clouds had been coming in and out just like they had been for the last couple hours and the winds were absolutely hollering at this point and of course just in time for when I come across this giant boulder rock that I have to climb up so it was going to be a little a little bit of a challenge but we were committed to getting to the top perhaps I will go around got to go off this all right that's all right big steps musle this one out mused oh Bey that giant rock wall led us onto this Ridge that drops off on both sides and once we get to the end of the ridge we'll have to carry out one more pitch until we're at the summit well we're getting up there last really taking to the top baby come on here we are boy he's going up nice finale right here so we began our final push for the Summits and as you can see the clouds are just wrapping around the entire Summit pyramid and overall just made it a really cool atmosphere to climb into oh we're going to be right above the cloud this is nice all right walking in this last baby here whatever that means I don't know I'm just saying things but finish her off how is there still flowers I don't get it I don't even have flowers out my house and this is this is Ryan hello Ryan nice to meet you guys nice to meet yall we did it we did it Mighty Mount Shen guys like us wow it's kind of chill up here after around 6 to 7 hours of climbing we had made it to the top of Mount Shen it's just above 99,100 ft and there's a cool little Capsule that's had a pen and a notepad that you can sign your name on you already know we are leaving our Mark here yeah look how insane that is that's where we just came up yeah back flip right there oh if you just backflipped off of this Cliff bro you could rip out world record world record number oh my goodness yeah basically [Music] went and then bam came around came around town saw this Ridge boom and then pushed up this bad Larry what a successful freaking Summit that's what we're talking about that's what we're talking about big clouds moving in all right we're packing up from the summit we've been up here for solid I don't even know it's probably been an hour no 45 minutes something now we're going to descend down this way we're going to go a different way than what we came and we'll see different stuff so unfortunately we couldn't out run the clouds the weather had basically consumed us at this point because of this and the fact that going down down is ultimately more difficult and harder than going up we decided to go down the traditional route which has the iconic feature the hell's Highway and you'll see why it's called the hell's Highway in a second but first we had to blay ourselves down from the summit pyramid get off the rocks and back onto the glacier oh not anymore I'm just going to take like a big step onto that rock yeah there you go you yo reck we're zooming nice back down climb so if you're unaware of what's going on we're basically doing the reverse of what we are doing on the way up Justin's at the top has my rope anchored in and is slowly giving me slack but it's not too much to the point where I can fall on my own behalf he's keeping it tight so it keeps me nice and stable and in control so we just had to go back and forth but laying down the summit pyramid until we would finally reach the snow and could throw our crampons back on okay I'm off for p holy crap and of course as we were going down we ended up going back onto the rocks and then in between the Rock and the GLA which we needed to get to was just this giant little moat so we had to figure out how to get over this thing now with crampons on you just like get in the a yeah slack get in here just a little it's just a simple little hop nice he stops it nice oh so now that we were off the summit pyramid we just had glacial descent in front of us and soon the hell's Highway bam it's clear this is New Territory for us we've never been here before big crack so what does it just dip down right there yeah we'll take it right before that Tower and that's hell's highway right yeah sh all right so we're out of the clouds and we have hell's highway right there which is what we're going to take to get down then our camp is all the way down there look at these mountains though Beauties right here H double hockey stick Highway HW we can't say that okay it looks like some sort of ski slope just some scope in the highway real quick cuz this drop is insane so we went straight up continued up that way on our way in now we got this way down as you can see once again this is a noall Zone and we're just going to be really careful as we downclimb because we don't want to just funnel into the entire Glacier cuz we'd have a long way to go um but this was really our last big obstacle before we would get back down to Camp kind of turn around yeah Point down climb machine machine if you look upside down it doesn't look as steep what degree slant do you think this is right here I think the steepest bed is probably like 60 or so yeah look at this [Music] thing all right off Hell's Highway anyways look at this mad man coming down it's kind of fun not going to lie Last Hill might as well fug it out Mount shuon somewhere back there in the clouds we're off the main Glacier we're not out yet we have to go through this then down Winnie slide then we'll be at camp all right so we've arrived back at Camp how long of a day was that 8 and a half 9 hours maybe now we're going to just eat and then head down tomorrow morning with that we had gotten our Summits and made it back to Camp safely so now we are just going to eat and then go to bed and then on day three we woke up to a goats outside of our camp and now it was finally time to head on out of here remember viewer attention drops after you Summit so you need to get down as fast as possible making our way down Fisher chimney there she is the Traverse late night campsites come on now give me son let's go come on now let's go let's go huge a huge let's go H let's go back at the car we'd love to see it all right that's another successful
