  • 3 day backpacking adventure in the Uncompahgre Wilderness. Starting at the Eastfork trailhead, the beautiful scenery was everywhere. Day two , consisted of two high mountain passes before my first attempt to summit wetterhorn peak. I failed my first attempt and after a good nights rest, I finally made it to the top. This would make for a long day in the end. Although the rest of the third day was mostly downhill, it ended up being over 16 miles for the day.

      Yes this trip was dry the whole time. And cooler temps. I don’t think I saw any rain until I was driving home … through St. Louis

      @@tonyabrowninghikes Hi Tonya ! It truly was beautiful! I had to leave a lot of video clips out of the final project or it would have been several hours long😂. The climb up was a little sketchy, but the climb down was quite a bit more nerve racking😬. Thanks for watching! See ya sometime ??

      @@ChrisHausner Hey Chris Blue Shirt 🤣🤣. I enjoyed talking to you and your dad. Wetterhorn was quite an experience for me. I almost didn’t try the second time, and I’m glad I did. I moved over to red cloud the next day. Almost summited, but ran out of time .keep yourself safe on all your adventures. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Hey Michael, Mike from Wetterhorn here (orange sweatshirt)! It was great meeting you and spending some time climbing with you. Keep up the good work sharing your adventures. We climbed El Diente on the Thursday after this climb but had to bail on the traverse and Mount Wilson. We may go back later this summer to finish that one.

      @@MikeChase-u4j thanks for checking the video out. I really did appreciate your knowledge of the route. I probably would’ve found my way by following other people and cairns, but it was a lot less worry with someone who’d been there before . I’ll most likely be back in the area this fall, not sure what my itinerary will be. Thanks again ! Nice to meet you and your boys! See ya next time MAYBE!
