Here's an update regarding the stuff I found on top! I got this email after the video went live: "I met the old timer who mined up there.he somehow knew there was uranium up there,climbed up and found high grade uranium, 30 percent. It was so hot it scorched his chest,when he kept a piece in his shirt pocket! He was a lifelong resident of gateway." Cool!
Wowza ! My question is, are there any snakes hanging around in those crevices? Thanks for the exciting adventures. I got a wee bit nervous looking down ...lol 😮
@@nickjonson6996 Check it out on Google Earth, it sure doesn't look like there is any easy path, he must have had a hoist system or something. Maybe someone scavenged it all a long time ago.
This is why I love this channel. He'd take you on an easy walk/hike on one video which most everybody can do. Next video, it's technical climbing which very few people can do. I personally like the technical climbing videos because it shows places/scenery which I will never experience. Thanks Tristan!
My heart is in my throat as I watch you climb that mountain. I admire your bravery and ... skill. Thank you for sharing places I will probably never get to see in person. You're amazing.
Looks like so much loose rock. Yikes. I get goosebumps and hold my breath. I met a young woman in Colorado who fell at Red Rocks, fractured pelvis. Seriously breathtaking, yep.
I came through that spectacular canyon from the south some 45 years ago on a motorcycle trip, Gateway was just a few old cabins with caterpillar nests in all the cottonwood trees. Although I've never revisited that road it left a lasting impression on me and a curiosity about that whole, almost empty, region between Grand Junction and Moab. Having studied it much on google earth, this was one of the most interesting points to me, and I was thrilled when I realized where you were. I'm old now and it tires me to walk a quarter mile, so videos like this are 'beyond wonderful' to me, Thank You for the experience... I can imagine what it was like sleeping under the stars up there, maybe 75 years ago...
What a challenging climb in a stunningly beautiful place! Oh, to be 40 years younger with the right skill set... Thanks for this exhilarating look at the beauty of Mother Nature. My Saturdays start with a 6-7 mile walk, rewarded by fresh coffee, a snack, and Tristan's weekly adventure. Always inspiring.
Not a bandaid tin. That is a Prince Albert rolling tobacco tin, which was very commonly used for holding their claim papers and they are typically found buried in a pile of rocks that mark the stake's claim.
Thanks for sharing that first golden hour shot. It was truly spectacular. Next time you do a climb like that, would you remember to periodically remind US to breathe? That must’ve been just thrilling for you! 😊 Great adventure!!!!
I work for the US Forest Service. And yesterday I went out alone looking for trees for our breeding program. My forest burnt down in a big fire- anyways point of this comment is to say that the beginning part of this climb reminds me of my day yesterday because I had a pretty scary Four-wheel-drive part where I had to solve a problem while I was on two wheels and my vehicle was rocking back-and-forth and I was on a very exposed foot drop off. Afterwards, I realize that a lot of people would’ve probably really enjoyed that!! 😮😂 me not so much I did enjoy the satisfaction of not dying or wrecking the vehicle.😅 But I don’t seek out stuff quite that challenging. I do enjoy being able to manage it though. But I didn’t have a choice because a mile further down the road that I was traversing was an abandoned vehicle and no way around it. I had to reverse up the road until I could turn around.
what a great job that is! More people should appreciate our government efforts and regulation. It is the backbone of what keeps this nation outstanding and admired from all around the world.
Intense and beautiful. Loved seeing the old camp with bed etc. Having Multiple Sclerosis and heart disease, my only climbing is through you. Thank you so much.
WOW Tristan 😮 Love to watch you climb & show us all the beautiful sights from above. Like you I would love to know the history of all the artifacts found because that was someone’s life up there. Great adventure ❤👍🏻🙋🏼♀️
I'm just an old duck watching you go places I never dreamed of attempting. Not to make light of what is clearly an effort requiring skill and experience, I can watch all the really difficult climbing parts without having any personal reaction... but when you stood on one leg while working your other leg into that harness... THAT I can relate to and greatly respect your strength and balance!
That was epic! We’ve done a lot in this area and it one of the most beautiful areas in south western Colorado. Seeing the views from the top was amazing. Thank you for sharing it because we will only enjoy the views from ground zero. The Delores River area may be designated as a National Monument, at least being considered. This was one of your best videos.😢😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍
Don't know about that mountain top but the mesa visible behind you is covered with uranium mines on top with a lot of old mining gear left up there. DOE warning signs all over. We have been up there. So that fellow may have hoped to find something like that up there. He may have had DOE or USGS assistance if they were interested, so a helicopter may have been possible.
The camera perspective on your head is scary looking as you're climbing. The views are astounding! And interesting artifacts lying around. What a fun find.
That was wonderful as usual, Tristan. Spectacular country, and I loved your showing us more of the nuts and carabiners of rock climbing. -- charlie, sacramento
Just bought a 2011 rav4, in part because of your videos. Heading out to Utah, from Ohio, in August, can't wait to hike some great trails and see greater views.
When driving through the southwest, I have often viewed mountains like this and wondered what it would be like to 'hike' to the top of it. I can imagine routes that would be doable until a cliff section which would be the end of the road except for experienced climbers. This video was fascinating showing the different sections of the ascent. The drone photography of the last sections was incredible - I don't know how you managed that and the climbing together.
You are amazingly calm and focused. I highly appreciate your stealth and also not only good at climbing but good at video recording this. I feel like I am doing it with you, however without the calm and stealthiness.
I have been to that part of Colorado. It is desolate but incredibly beautiful. I was fascinated about those discoveries on top. It is hard to believe that prospectors actually built small dwellings up there, due to the extremely difficult access and no obvious water source but the video doesn't lie! I didn't see any telltale signs of prospecting, such as shafts, prospect holes or mining equipment. I agree with another comment--there must be an easier access to the top. Regardless, thank you for the video and the efforts you made to show us such a beautiful place. My days of attempting that are long gone so I enjoy watching those who are able to explore and document for the rest of us.
You are a skilled cinematographer. Thank you for making interesting, informative, high-quality videos with beautiful scenery. Do you ever see snakes when climbing?
OK, I’m always impressed by your climbing and your photography but the placement of that drone while you climbed up section 5 is pretty primo dude very nice 👏
This is yet another adventure I won't try myself! However, that area around Gateway is so pretty and I love that drive between there and Naturita. Perfect curvy road if you have a sporty car of some sort.
That looks like a dicey scramble and climb to me. Thanks for sharing this experience of climbing to the Palisades. My heart was racing for you! I knew that you safely made it down, but oh my gosh!!
Wow, spiderman! "Very easy..." We'll take your word for it dude. You're fearless! It always amazes me you never have anyone else with you. Just in case. Beautiful place. Thank you for bringing us with you.❤🙏
Definitely one of your very best videos. You are without question a very brave young man…..I found myself holding my breath in between your ascent. And you treated the descent like a walk in the park. Thanks for sharing, and continued good luck in your upcoming adventures.
love your sense of adventure but, uuh, uuh…..no way in hell would I do the climbing that you did! and it always totally amazes me that you do this with both hips replaced. you are truly an amazing person. I love your channel sooomuch
I climbed Table Mountain many years ago - Right Face (with ropes and an experienced mountaineer ) twice and can totally identify with the height. Thanks for the experience, absolutely stunning!
Dude that was awesome!!! I usually don't comment but I have to say... THIS is why I watch your channel!!! Going solo like that is crazy, but you did it!!! Cheers 🍻
It's been 40 years since I free rappelled down the back side of Baxter's Lost and Found Pinnacle Ridge in the Tetons. That was the only fun part of down climbing for me
We have been watching you for over a year now and let me just say - THIS one gave us a scare for you. We knew you were a climber, but this was ridiculously scary. We enjoy watching your videos. Bonnie
Thank you Tristan for the sneak peek of the morning beauty of creation. Sure do appreciate your thoughtfulness. Glad You're someday came, and you shared it with us. That was a sketchy climb. I took a deep breath and put my hands over my mouth and my eyes were wide open with a aw sound. Thank you for your extra work adjusting your camera during your climb. Your drone footage was amazing. What an awesome find. Perhaps there was more than one person involved in brining up the materials? A flashback of someone's life. Thank you Tristan for another magnificent video. Always so inspiring and educational. Tater Tot
@24:13 you timed the music perfectly. Great video, Tristan! One of my favorites that you've done. My anxiety kicked in a bit...some of these sections triggered a few memories of hiking and being a little too high for my comfort zone with shear drops on one side. I get dizzy and feel like I am being pulled down into it, and my intrusive thoughts are like "just go with it and fall down and see what happens", then the fight or flight kicks in and I start to panic and my heart rate races. Hearing you talk calmly through it all helps reinforce what I tell myself: "It's all in your head, just calm down. You're fine. It's not as bad as you make it out to be."
Thank you for showing how to rappel. I have always been curious about that. Thank you for taking us along on the climb. But I was pretty nervous about it.
Wow! Once again you had me on the edge of my seat and my palms were sweating ...even though I know you're safe because this video has posted. Still such a thrill. Thank you again for the wild ride and the beautiful scenery. You Rock ha!!;
My heart is filled with gratitude that you would take us with you on your phenomenal adventure! Fantastic videography, narration, and editing. We are truly blessed! You are so intelligent, skilled, brave and kind, which makes our experience even more epic:-) just super Suoer thankful for your generosity! ❤
As you said, interesting, intricate and fun. Really like these videos that involve a hike, a challenging scramble and a tremendous view. SW USA really rocks!
Thanks for sharing such an exciting adventure. I've experienced climbing/repelling on a very minor scale, but never anything like your experiences. Great to have the details illustrated as you prepare to safely repel. Many thanks❤❤😊😊
Tristan, I really enjoyed this video! I learn a lot about climbing from your videos. Thank you for such good quality and fun content. The drone shots were amazing!
Rock climbers are a different breed of people. They possess skill, bravery, mental and physical strength. As usual those don't look images have my vertigo and anxiety through the roof. Super beautiful area. Thank you I'd never be able to see places like this with those views without you. Stay safe
In the late 60’s I hiked the Uncompahgre Natnl Forest & the San Juan Mountain region. Stayed in Montrose & Grand Junction, in the peak fall season. Always planned to go back.
This was awesome! I’ve always wanted to know how you release the rope after you rapel down, tks. It’s impressive that you have to have double the length of the actual descent!
If the stuff wasn't helicoptered up, I'm wondering if he set up a system of pulleys to haul the crates of food up. Also, he might have used burros rather than mules as pack animals--they are much smaller and might be more capable of handling those narrow ledges.
WOW! What beautiful land! I couldn't "not watch" but the "don't look down" camera shots...yikes! At least I knew that you are safe because the video was posted! I admire your skills and care taken and love to see such beautiful territory, so thanks! I'd love to know the story of who or whatever built the shelters! Already looking forward to your next video!
That was a great video to watch, and to include your rappelling with that little device we didn't have when I was young. Thanks for sharing - that was fun!
Every time you climb, I remember my own minor league climbing, and I think, well, going up is one thing, coming down quite another. Coming down is always what scared me. So, all props to you. "Coming down, I don't even film." Sheesh.
I know you are an experienced rock climber and in athletic shape so these climbs you do are a little easier to watch. Thanks for the adventure and a view I would never see unless in a helicopter.
Here's an update regarding the stuff I found on top! I got this email after the video went live: "I met the old timer who mined up there.he somehow knew there was uranium up there,climbed up and found high grade uranium, 30 percent. It was so hot it scorched his chest,when he kept a piece in his shirt pocket! He was a lifelong resident of gateway." Cool!
How did he haul all that stuff up there? Including water!
The Ut-Colo border area is a Hotbed for uranium, especially around Uravan.
@@InSurrealtime Seems there must be another way up.
Wowza ! My question is, are there any snakes hanging around in those crevices? Thanks for the exciting adventures. I got a wee bit nervous looking down ...lol 😮

You are one brave human. The climb was terrifying. Great video as always. I'm glad I get to see these places through you.
You're a good climber. Well done, Triston. It is simply amazing what miners did in search of their precious metals.
Right? What a tough life!

WOW! Thanks for taking us along! You rock! :)
Beautiful! If you were my kid I wouldn't sleep at night, but I love your spirit of adventure.
Tristan, you amaze me. I was petrified during that adventure. Wow!
Looked risky, glad you survived!!! Thank you...
You’re the man! That was a great adventure. Thanks for doing a lot of that twice for us. 😅

Love your video's. These always makes my groin hurt. Might have done this 40 years ago, but not now. Thanks!
This is the first hike you’ve done that I was holding my breath. Well done!🎉
When you asked "Was this guy crazy?" I asked the same question about you, doing that crazy climb. 😅😅😏
You make the best videos!
Thank you! 😁
Amazing.. Again....and I found myself leaning to my right... This is so good...thank you, stay safe, be well
My leg start shaking just watching you climb that.

Not very often at all. I see them more when hiking than climbing 🐍
Thank you i was wondering what same thing. 🐍🐉@SUVRVing
Right. The climb looks hard enough, but to make a documentary at the same time is amazing.
My morning coffee was not sitting well watching.
Nope! 😂. Was anyone else leaning to the right as you watched? Amazing courage.
24:30 GLORIOUS 👍🧓
OK, I’m always impressed by your climbing and your photography but the placement of that drone while you climbed up section 5 is pretty primo dude very nice 👏
I imagine getting water up there was no easy deal.
What an adventure! The view at 23:30 and 24:40 was beautiful with the river winding up the canyon.

Pretty dern cool. Thx for filming the downward journey! Looking forward ro your next video adventure.

Thanks Tristan for sharing the great footage and a mysterious history of this mountain top!
Tristin, what a climb! My blood pressure raised at the narrow path😮
Fascinating! I always appreciate the fact that you have to go and retrieve your camera after videoing yourself from a distance.

Thanks for showing your ropework at the end.
Thank you for showing how to rappel. I have always been curious about that. Thank you for taking us along on the climb. But I was pretty nervous about it.

Incredible, both the scenery and your feat.

In the late 60’s I hiked the Uncompahgre Natnl Forest & the San Juan Mountain region. Stayed in Montrose & Grand Junction, in the peak fall season. Always planned to go back.
An absolutely gorgeous area, for sure!
Based on a previous video, i made a point of driving from Telluride to Grand Junction by Gateway. Stunning views.
Thank you, I’m 53 and worked my body to its end, your camera is my eyes and your legs are mine 10 year’s ago. Great video.
This was awesome!
I’ve always wanted to know how you release the rope after you rapel down, tks. It’s impressive that you have to have double the length of the actual descent!
What a gorgeous place
Awesome climb! Stunning scenery! Great Job!
If the stuff wasn't helicoptered up, I'm wondering if he set up a system of pulleys to haul the crates of food up. Also, he might have used burros rather than mules as pack animals--they are much smaller and might be more capable of handling those narrow ledges.

Wow, thanks for the climb 👍🍺to old to do but I sure enjoy 😉
I know you are an experienced rock climber and in athletic shape so these climbs you do are a little easier to watch. Thanks for the adventure and a view I would never see unless in a helicopter.
What an adventure! I appreciate you showing all the prep and safety steps... still, scary to do this alone. Take care!
