    Was a bit confused at first, since I never knew about the name change. I do really appreciate the first bit where you show the scenic approaches to the parking lots. I could watch those trek guides for hours (I already did, but that's not the point xD).

    Awesome video! As someone pretty new to the backcountry, I’d love to hear more about your avalanche risk assessment and how you knew this line was safe to ascend/how you chose to descend the other slope. Thanks!

    Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been planning to do this. However, it seems there’s an issue with RUclips. I’m subscribed to the channel for a very long time but as I checked today I wasn’t. Maybe it’s just me but might need to get it checked if these numbers are high

      Thanks for the heads up, haven’t heard of this before but have noticed my videos are reaching a much smaller audience than usual. Not sure I have any control over it but hopefully it doesn’t happen to you again!

      Backpacking? For sure - its not my main jam as I prefer long days over backpacking but have a ton of videos where I am doing overnights.

    There are no classic lines on a new mountain, but if you're talking about Mount Evans, sure, lots of classics.
