Always happy to hear Danny's lack of enthusiasm for rock climbing. All my mountain friends prefer rock climbing over hiking or scrambling so I'm glad I'm not alone out there in my outdoor preferences.
I don't prefer *any* of them. They're all a means to an end. I do like to see the pretty things with as little chance of death as possible, so I'll pick hiking and scrambling over rock climbing too.
I was visiting Zion for the first time in my life just a few days ago. Zion is breathtaking. Although, I must say that many people act like idiots hiking steep narrow trails and icy patches in tennis shoes, sandals, etc. I was amazed by their carelessness. Great vid!
Nice one guys, Zion is such a haven of adventure. You guys have done a little canyoneering in your videos. You could certainly get further into that pursuit in the tight and wet enclaves of Zion. It is a canyoneering wonderland.
I’d love to see more video of the more tricky down climbs. That’s my issue when scrambling, anything up seems so easy while the same thing coming down often really freaks me out, especially when the first move (or the middle move) involves placing a foot down into space without ever quite reaching a firm point of contact… love to see some better technique than my horrid attempts.
Yes! I live in the mountains of northern CO, I go out climbing stuff almost every weekend. I sometimes head up stuff and can easily tell I'm going to have a tough time getting down but figure eh I'll work it out. And soon it's time to pay the piper. Never a good feeling. Afterwards, yeah. But staring down that 40ft cliff wondering how this is going to work out, not great.
I’ve been to the top of Mt. Kinesava before, but used the traditional route up that they took down, which is not the same as the ridge they took up. By the way, there are some amazing Puebloan petroglyphs up there.
@@medicinegone imo having a 40 m rope and knowledge of how to rig a natural anchor and be willing to leave shit on a mountain is no substitute for good downclimbing skills but an insurance policy I appreciate.
Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed this video as I enjoy most all your videos! Great job. Looked a little sketch trying to find that route on the way down, but you guys looked deep and found some purchase.
Five years ago the first thing we learned about Aaron was that he "is good peoples." ruclips.net/video/MZi5HP5ejHI/видео.html His bit at 1:10 with the effort he went to find skiing for his friend's birthday confirms this in spades.
Always enjoyable watching you climb. I'll bet your editing room floor footage would be a great sub channel. I love the surfaces views most. Thankyou Chase and Aaron.
I’m from the East Coast looking to go on a ski trip to the west. (Montana, Utah, And Idaho and maybe some states in between) What would you guys say is the best time for skiing in the west?
So what kind of shoes do you guys like for these scrambles? I'm familiar with running shoes, but not necessarily ones that allow for safe scrambles like this. I'm mostly doing trail runs at this point, and looking to add some elevation runs in the future
Posted about this on the “extra” channel. But a behind the scenes podcast would be awesome… great place to talk about Danny’s puffy. Lost or found we will never know :)
Danny might have botched the name but not how most people do. Kudos to all for pronouncing "Zion" correctly. Zion rhymes with "lion," NOT "lie on." For the love of God, please, everyone, tell a friend.
What a cliffhanger on the fate of the down jacket...
Did you forget your down jacket? Great video, looked fun.
Bet your comment just reminded Danny, 1.5 mth later
I need to know
ok im here to know this xD
I'm here to check on the jacket
I need to know
Happy birthday Danny! Always happy to see you in my feed! But dude, you just cannot leave us hanging on the puffy status!
I was waiting for an update on it too!
You know what they say about people who lose their down jackets. 😉
Same!
Any update here?
@@dennisnh7 schrödinger's puffy jacket, I'm telling you man!
Now did he get the jacket is what I'm curious about

Such a great feeling to find a cairn when you need one most.
I'm so glad he was corrected when he said "Zions." My skin crawled for a second.
Glad to see we aren’t the only ones worried about the jacket lol great video hope the jacket made it back too
Most underrated channel by far. Thanks for adventuring for me.

If you haven't already watched it, their Mt. Moran CMC route video has some pretty great footage of the downclimb.
@@TheDionBlasterMethod thanks, I’ll look for it that one for sure!

I love you guys.
Damn that looked fun, I love beautiful scrambles above the desert - wish we had routes like that in Canada
Makes my day when you guys upload.
Summit view is beautiful.
Wish I knew why MA vids don't come to the top of my feed. One of my favs!!!!!!
Way to go boys! Thank you Chase and Aaron. Hearing Zion's National Park makes me cringe.
The helmut over the cap is a good look. Cheers
I’ll be fine in my bed watching crazy people climb giant sketchy mountains thanks
Btw i have indeed spent my entire like in Florida and am happy for it
Zions Bank... Zion National Park. Such a Utah thing to call it Zions lol.
Oh man, this video has the A-Team! Love your videos, guys!
Was in Zion about the same time, definitely headed back this spring for the climbing. Great video as always.
What a treat. I like Danny's birthday - everyone else does lots of filming too!
The only channel I have notifications on for. Love this channel, keep it up!
Considering that Mediocre Amatueurs usually dress like skittles, I have no doubt that Danny found his coat.
Happy belated dude! Love the content, thanks for sharing
You must make a "Lead Certified" MA shirt
Glad you decided to go to the peak. Awesome views!
You make the best videos. Thanks and keep it up. A fan from the Alps.
I also yelled at my screen when you said zions
Thanks for taking us along. I really enjoyed this video as I enjoy most all your videos! Great job. Looked a little sketch trying to find that route on the way down, but you guys looked deep and found some purchase.
Danny has the coolest life. So jealous of all these trips. Keep the videos coming!
Take a year off in a van before you get married and have kids
Danny, I always appreciate your humor but it was especially on point at Zion haha
one of the gnarliest day trips I've seen from y'all recently
Man I wish I had buddies to do this type of stuff with. Unfortunately I’m from the Midwest where people being into this stuff is rare.
That’s because the Midwest…at least the Midwest in my area, doesn’t have cool environments like this. Instead, surrounded by corn and soybean fields.
Definitely like these "off the beaten path" episodes.
So my burning question was left unresolved by the end of the video. Did Danny find his jacket?
That's definitely one way to get away from all the crowds of Zion! Great work gentlemen!

Just me, sitting here wondering if Danny found his jacket...
Well I just about s**t my pants watching that one! Yikes some of the scenes were pretty scary. Fantastic video as usual.
That was super cool, I love Zion but I've never climbed there beyond easy scrambling. Good work, I'm glad you spotted the cairns eventually!
Happy Birthday 🎉 Danny!! 😎
Always enjoyable watching you climb. I'll bet your editing room floor footage would be a great sub channel. I love the surfaces views most. Thankyou Chase and Aaron.
Would love if you guys compiled a playlist of the songs you use on your videos.
Danny is turning into "The Dude"....cannot remember what day it is. :). My favorite channel....makes my day when there is a new upload.
My favorite part was the Zion correction LOL
Did Danny remember his down jacket?!
Well done chaps, another top video, keep up the good work. And many happy returns Danny.
I just want to know how you got all those shots from the side while your friends were climbing the 5.7
Very nice adventure guys, the only thing missing is a puffy update!
Three different people on three different paths - sounds like a guys trip!
You guys are Awesome.. keep on keeping on dudes..🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸
You guys are always amazing!
Wow, what a scramble! Looks like a fun birthday!
Always a great day when there's a new Medicore Amateur!
Wow, as I watched you climb up I was thinking, "How they going to get down?!" Belated happy birthday Danny.
But did you remember to pick up your puffy?
What about your down jacket?! Happy belated birthday.
You gotta show us those spicy down climbs Danny!
I always laughed when Blake used say Zion’s constantly
Happy Bday!
belated happy birthday Danny! love the shoes... La sportiva TX guide
Was wondering when your birthday video would come out. Sorry you couldn't find good powder to enjoy but the climb looked amazing. Happy Birthday!!
Ayy, finally got to one within the first 10 minutes. Love your stuff guys!
I’m from the East Coast looking to go on a ski trip to the west. (Montana, Utah, And Idaho and maybe some states in between) What would you guys say is the best time for skiing in the west?
Great video as always! I hope you guys know what an awesome life y'all are able to live! Hopefully you can do it for many more years to come
I love your videos and pod cast. Thanks for all the great content.

They turn around and go home all satisfied, and I'm thinking: it ain't over yet, boys. Getting cliffed out is serious.
Danny might have botched the name but not how most people do. Kudos to all for pronouncing "Zion" correctly. Zion rhymes with "lion," NOT "lie on." For the love of God, please, everyone, tell a friend.
The editing of the technical climbing was very good. Excellent film making.
Made my day! Thanks for posting this!
Happy Birthday, Danny! Almost 2 months later, but who’s keeping track..? 😂
Did you remember to get your jacket?
Did Danny ever get his jacket or is it still in that tree?
Awesome video! Great way to enjoy Zion!
Happy Birthday, Mountain Goat :)
Belated Happy Birthday Danny! You guys ski in the winter pretty consistently, so I say "Yay, more climbing Danny with Aaron & Chase :-) "
Did that dude remember to grab his jacket orrrr
Happy Birthday weekend Danny! Funny you didn’t know what day it was!!!
Man i need friends like this
You guyz are too HardCoRe! ^_^
Awesome work as usual!
What about the jacket! I love cliff hangers... just not this type.
Did you find your jacket? Great vid as usual :)
Happy birthday!
You should do the west slabs of Olympus this summer 🙃
They did that before, something about "how to get on the evening News"
Would appreciate a few Zion NP rattlesnake encounter stories!
...but is the nice puffy jacket still geocached out in the bush???
Hey hey, we have 'hills' in Florida :)
What happened to the coat???? Was ditching it a ploy for a new birthday down coat?
Hell yeah been needing a new video from you all
Oh my, Mount Kinesava, site of the infamous newlywed BASE jumping incident
happy birthday!
We need to know what happen to the JACKET! 'dat "cliff hanger"..
Sick Video!
