Finishing with "I gotta take the biggest shit" lolol. Great vid!

What a fun looking day. Nice job.

One of the most fun routes you'll do anywhere, and I've done it several times. Great memories of An "interesting" approach. Not really difficult, but kind of long and serpentine. At least the first time. Waiting in line while another party started on the route, then passing them as they looked around for the start of the second pitch. Another time, watching & listening as another party, clearly off route, cursed, "What the **ck! This isn't a 5.6!" Getting caught in a sudden snow squall so intense that we couldn't see the top of the next pitch, so we rapped off. Couldn't see the bottom of the rap, either, but as I'd done the route previously, we got off pretty easily. Coming down after a full day of climbing and finding that some critter had eaten a hole in the top pack compartment-where we'd left the snacks for the hike out, of course. 🤣 And that wonderful last pitch, worth the price of admission by itself. A great crack, well protected, then about 20 feet of 5.6 friction. With 1 bolt. Not difficult, but it does demand your attention. [edit] Nice showing the raps. I think a couple more stations might have been added in the decade since I last did this. My recollection is that we needed 2 at least 50 M ropes to get off; of course, I didn't have a 70 along at the time, just 2 8.8 x 60's, so I can't say for sure. I also love the fact that more of these moderates (I guess "easy" by current standards) are being posted. You can always find the 12's & up; there used to be a lot fewer 9's & down. I've been doing this so long that when I started, there were almost no climbs harder than 5.10. As far as a "rest day" climb, I don't consider 5 pitches exactly a rest, even if it is easy by today's standards. Of course, I'm an old f*rt. I did the route for the first time in my middle 50's and the last, most recent time at 70 with my wife, who's in her 60's. "A fun time was had by all."

are you guys are gangs against big corporates such as IKON or Epic? or do you go ski mountains as well? and do this for kind of once a year special event? by the way, you guys look awesome !

Awesome video! Me and a friend are flying out from PA to climb this route. We have a permit for 2 nights so we can take our time. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🤙

I’m coming more and more to Russell being the most beautiful of all the CA 14’ers

Fallen Leaf lake?

Glad you found your wag bag 👍

Hi Mr Caliedo

Thank you for sharing. Can't believe you made it all the way back down to your car all in one day with the altitude. Did this climb with a dear friend some 35 years ago. Fond memories. Thanks again.

Some gnarly sauce right thr

Great video! Thanks for the inspiration, and I love how you talk about safety on practical situations

Let's goooooo!!!! Much love from your biggest Saucer.

Ya'll gotta hike up that for the 1 run?

Bed size?

Damn thanks for bringing us along on your adventure, looks sick!

I wish I was that stick.

Do we get a SauceScore or what?

Where all my other Saucers at?!?!

Super nice stone at the top.

suuper sick video, i could almost see my house when you could see the bp reservoir aha

What pants is the female wearing?

Like how do you avoid that sulphur spring? If you fall in does it boil.you alive or is it just hot and you can get out but it's wet

Great video! How do you learn where to go? Trial and error or? Would love to learn

At what point to you move left from Ginger Crack to get onto final pitch of Unimpeachable Groping? Thanks!

Incredible dude. What time of year was this?

Did you hike up to Mt Diller? Looks awesome!

HA! I love that you left the skiing in. I'm more scarred split skiing a 4 ft drop than anything! Nice work.

Awesome video.. casual all the way through.

Can you talk about your van? How much it costs, maintenance, etc

So blessed and fortunate.. thats beautiful being up there like that… and cool shreds 💪🏽

Beautiful

Have a great life know that it won't last long

wondering how it would be on skis. we only ski tour. harder or easier?

did shasta in the summer a few years ago in 2 days !! and it kicked my ass. kudos for you guys doing it in 1 day !!

epic day !! probably a better climb/ski in the spring. good job.

"5.4 my ass!" Hahahahha

Serra Nevada know for sudden storms.you to had in the bag good climbingha two..

Great video man! Can’t wait to do this

What a great looking climb. The video date say Dec 19, 2021. Was that the day you climbed it? How was the temperature that time of year. It doesn't look too cold. I mostly climb in NH and Red River Gorge. Do you think the 5.8+ rating is fair? Thanks for taking the time to create and post this.

@gnar- we should collab. what’s the next project?

CLASSIC! One of my favorite climbs at Red Rock!

Pro tip…go when the road is snow-covered anyway. Sure it’s more walking but you’ll get the mountain in much better ski conditions and no crowds

Airey and loosey, and fun climb.

Thanks for the video. In which month did you do this trip?

looks like so much fun

Awesome video! This looks like such a fun route!

cool sauce

Well, at least this wasn’t one of those where they ride to a location to setup a camera only to treck back to the top of the track to ride past the camera and repeat sequence down trail.

Women 🤦‍♂️.
