Middle Teton // Steep Skiing in Chouinard Couloir
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2020
- Since shooting the first Mediocre episode here in Grand Teton National Park I’ve always wanted to come back and ski the line Blake and I failed to complete. In this episode we manage to get back and ski Chounaird Couloir off the south face of the Middle Teton. Like most ski shots in this mountain range Chouinard is a steep and intense line which required all our cunning and skill to navigate safely.
Let Blake know that he is very much missed.
Yes! Hope you're doing well Blake!!!
Y’all should just like meet up with Blake for lunch or something and film it. I don’t even care if he’s injured, I just wanna see that the Blizz is alive and well.
Do you fear they left him somewhere in the mountains?
Good to see y'all back, we missed you guys!
Figgun DITTO!!!!
Only if you're a yuppie loser lol.
Christof wins the insanity award for skiing down an ice covered cliff!. Glad you guys are back, I was about ready to send an effing search party out!.
💯✨
People have asked over and over and over what Blake's up to and how he's doing. Do us the courtesy of letting us know.
EDIT: Saw below that he has a knee injury. I know all us fans of the channel wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back soon. Please send him our best wishes.
He has a knee injury
@@graemesmith5175 Thank you.
Yep torn meniscus here in the Pacific Northwest - NOT happy at all watching Spring snows just. melt. away... Get well Blake!!!
"jumping on a pogo stick" lololol
Pretty sure there was some sort of stick involved.
Danny is always complaining and likely exaggerating noise whenever he camps/stays at a hotel. lol
I want a Mediocre Amateur sticker.
Yeah where's the merch??
@@ajduker they have merch.
Their line is awesome got a hat and a hoodie. Shirt next
YESSSSS. Needed something from you guys today!!
Thank goodness you're still posting!
MOAR!
Some people might not recognize the production value here. Been on a mediocre amateur watching spree lately. Thanks for the hours of entertainment Danny et al!
Blake is very much missed that’s for sure, but so awesome that you guys finally finished this climb, I literally watched the first attempt video 3 days ago, and this video popped up in my recommendation list, I was like wait a minute, I just watched this video couple days ago, but then I noticed, it’s so nice!!
Your are an awesome motivation to go back to the wilderness after this crazy times!
Thank you for all this awesome work that you put on the videos!
The music always on point by the way!!! 👌🏻🔥🙌🏻
That was so cool, this is my favorite youtube channel by far.
Excellent documentation guys!! The group dynamics and Kristoff's stellar vocabulary always a good watch. Hope everyone is doing well! Keep on keepin on!
I just jammed the brakes on my work day to stop and watch this. You guys have the best content on RUclips. Keep it up!
Do I need to say it again? 🤔
Best RUclips channel ever! 🌎
Y'all are such an inspiration and prove that anything is possible. 🙏🏼☮️🧡🤳😁
Such a great channel.
Watching this makes me happy. Thanks for posting.
In case you haven’t heard this today. Your filmography is AmaXing! You guys rock and I absolutely love every video.
I love your videos so much! Thank you for continuing to make them.
Great videos - beautiful scenery - informative and well narrated. Thanks much.
Missed you, welcome back!
Awesome guys ! This is why we love Jackson ! Thx for sharing ..
Brilliant stuff. I am SO looking forward to next winter. Hello from the UK.
Awesome as always!
Perfect timing. I needed a break from all the craziness. Been enjoying everything on yall's IG as well.
Thanks for the amazing shots. Great work!
Yes, been missing these!
An instant Mediocre classic! Glad you got redemption from your first trip to the Middle Teton oh so long ago
When that soundtrack come on, it puts you in that mediocre groove! Badabing
Thank you, I really needed this video. Outstanding video gentlemen.
Stunning! All of it. Power ascending and perfect restraint descending. A straight very sharp edge with no side cut works wonders in those conditions. La Croix made them for Slalom.
You guys make a great team. Awesome video.
Love your channel. You seriously inspire me to get out there. I’m based in TN so there are some awesome trails and spots around, but I’d love to make it out West more often.
Always admire your teams abilities, salute to Blake.
"balance the chi among the frantic pace and non-chill mentality that would totally consume them if i didn't show up" lmao!
this is the best channel. you guys are the most grounding. peace and love and stuff
Man, I love you guys.
Nice video, very inspirational and funny. I think we're all ready to get back out there.
New episode .....awesome
Beautiful mountain, glad you guys got to ski down it!!!
You drove off with your shoes on the hood of the car! Another great video of a special outing. I've loved my adventures in the Tetons (some of them only afterwards, though..)
Thanks for another excellent adventure!!
Wow, you guys are crazy! Beautiful vid!
Simply Epic you guys. Glad you all made it safe.
Thank you. This is just the inspiration I needed today.
God Bless You that was incredible. Nicely done.
Just ordered a MA trucker hat. Guess I'll finally retire my St. Louis Cardinals hiking hat. Love the channel.
Thank you for posting another video with you crushing it!! especially middle teton I'll be there in 3 weeks to see how I fare
Hey! I'm planning to go in about a month as well! Looking everywhere to see which trails are open as I'm not sure whether it's being updated during covid. Any ideas?
Two thumbs up. Amazing, as usual.
SKETCH CHEE!! Might be the 3rd pint of coffee talking, but my heart was racing as soon as i saw that you guys hadn’t even reached the snow by sunrise. Im used to trying to summit at sunrise, before a decent like that. Have a feeling all three used up one of their cat lives that day. Stay safe out there🤙
Been missing your content. So stoked to see a new video!
Great work like always guys 💪
Don't understand most of what they are talkin about but love these guys.
👍👍👍
Welcome back!!
I absolutely adore these videos. Keep thinking, though, how is it possible that you guys are magnitudes more accomplished and better than me, yet I have been to so many more of the greater ranges (Andes, Himalayas) like you. I figured, since I only get to go on an adventure every few years, it really have to count. Nevertheless I'd love to see a bunch of videos from you from the Cordillera Blanca/Huayhuash or really from any exotic locations.
Thanks for putting a big grin on my face!
loving the turns great stuff
So good. I've been looking for this.
I am so envious! My knee replacement started failing almost 1 year ago leaving me stuck at my condo in north Thailand barely able to walk or get to real doctors and hospitals. As soon as this virus freakout is over I will go somewhere and try to get that knee repaired. So far I have had 8 knee operations. Take a tip for an old ski bum. Protect those knees!
So glad to see that you guys convinced woody harrelson to go join you guys!
You guys are awesome. That's all I got to say
Oh man that ski looked steep!
Well this is a lot better than the video of you guys running on treadmills for like 13 hours in your basement, which is what I was expecting for your next vid.
That last steep uphill section definitely looked puckering! No fatalities = win.
Thanks guys. Good to have you back.
I'm still amazed that someone, anyone, would click "down thumb" on these productions. These guys are friggun GREAT! & finally the Axes come out...serious! And Christof's Ice Turns, that "Chatter" says it all. I can imagine his thighs aching! "Don't Slip! Don't Slip!
I've been watching your channel for a few years now. You guys are an inspiration to the outdoor enthusiasts. I do a lot of trail races and such in Montana. Just curious if any of you guys ever do trail races. I'm signed up for a 50 miler in the Elkhorns, and also the RUT 28k at Bigsky Resort.
The ski usually looks more fun than the climb. Not this time. That top section was hella sketchy. Way to get after it though. Put me in the camp that wants a Cody Townsend Mediocre Amateur joint effort. How awesome would that be!?
very good shout,
Posted the same comment to Cody’s insta a couple months ago haha
Yep, interesting combo to say the least!
Everyone needs to share this channel on other social media, IG FB .
"I'm here to balance the chi", so true Christof! I'd go with Christof and Blake are the "chi" balancers to ensure that Danny doesn't run amok ;-)
Yes, where is Blake. It's not quite the same without him. Love all your videos.
Hard climbing on the snow to get to top, steep downhill skiing. Thanks for sharing.
Sketch... is one word to describe all this video
Hey! I have a suggestion for some future adventures! In southern Cali, there is a mount called San Gorgonio Mountain (11,500 ft tall) that seems really fun and tough to climb. There are multiple routes up the mountain, the most popular one being the Vivian creek trail. It’s 17.5 miles out and back and it is mainly just trail, but in the winter there is some good mountaineering sections. Another route in Southern Cali is Mount San Antonio otherwise known as Mount Baldy (10,064 ft tall) via The devils backbone. It’s a 14 mile trail out and back and in the winter it can get pretty extreme. Both really fun mountains that have a lot of potential for some good adventures. Thanks for reading! I hope these are interesting. (All the trail data is available on AllTrails.)
9:41 Whew those icy turns gave me a pucker!
Oooooohhhhh yeah!
siick nice job guys!!
christoff is one rad dude!
I love your impeccable high standards for safety...."It's absolutely safe until it's not" :)...I'm looking into investing in life insurance where I'm the beneficiary :)
Sweet. Add Sierra High Route to the list. Also known as Sierra Haute Route. Been trying to traverse it west to east in under 30 hours for several years. 40 miles of high elevation sierras, it’s beautiful. Would love to see someone do it under 24 hours.
Well done guys
#WheresAaron? Great video, glad to see you are back! Can you run around The Great Salt Lake?
The organ music at 4:30 is perfect for the background.
You guys should create snap chats and put them in the description so that we can follow them and see your climbs in real time!
Ok.. pucker from me at 8:00 min forward. Job well done.
Great videos man a truly fantastic channel!! Given the excellent quality of your videos I am going to go out on a limb and say that you are using A Sony Full Frame.. Maybe an A7iii? (Possibly an A6600?)Set me straight, what are you using?
GOSH imagine how the legs feel after climbing that steep part holly hell
What width Findr's you guys on? Been running the 86's for two seasons and dig them as my spring and "hasn't snowed in 2+ weeks" ski.
It is now time for the BLIZZ to make a comeback. Erin too!
Nice guys
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity
I was just wondering about 30 minutes ago when the next MA video would be posted.
100 Miles from Nowhere is back on in the UK on Discovery History 👍
"No fatalities"
@Mediocre Amateur thoughts on the G3 Findr skis on hard snow, particularly edge grip? I’m tossing up between the 86mm version and the Salomon MTN Explore.
I think I will make that intro music my ringtone to drown out reality and take me there with every call.. 🏔🐻🌲❄️⛷🏔
I've got to pick up crampons and ice ax!
Come back Blake! :)
Hey are you going to do a video climbing Everest or any mountain in the Himalayas
Awesome
This looks totally brutal
Head sweatband is a strong idea
