- Winter Hiking Mount Haystack, Basin and Saddleback Mountain in the Adirondack Mountains Through 75 MPH Winds, Snow, Sleet, Hail, Freezing Rain and Waist High Trail Breaking in a White Out
_________________⚠️Danger ⛔️ _________________
Hiking in such harsh conditions is extremely dangerous and could potentially be fatal for even the most experienced hikers. There is no guarantee that any hike will go as planned. The best thing you can do is research every aspect of the hike including, weather in the days prior, weather on the day of and weather of the days after because sometimes rescues can’t come right away and you need to be able to survive the duration of time it takes to get rescued! Please study the regular weather forecast and also the summit forecast for the mountains you are climbing.. Research your bail out options and have all the necessary gear to be able to safely spend a night in the mountains.. I repeat, Always carry everything you need to spend the night in the mountains. Brittany and I, as well as our entire group are extremely experienced in Winter Hiking / Mountaineering and went into this hike with full knowledge of the weather and every aspect of what we needed to know. With that said this was an absolutely epic, amazing and exhilarating experience hiking these three mountains in such harsh conditions with high winds, white out conditions, hail, rain, snow you name it! We started by going up the Orbed Slide to Saddleback. We then descended the Saddleback Cliffs and headed up and over Basin Mountain which was waist high Spruce traps every other step. I had to pull out my GPS multiple times to confirm I was on trail and we were definitely on trail. Basin is so ridiculously steep! We got down into the Cole between Basin and Haystack to take one nice final food break. We got up to the base of little haystack around 1 PM and geared up appropriately for long exposure in high winds and white out conditions with precipitation of snow, sleet and hail and even some freezing rain! All 10 of us were very happy with our gear and layering system and just another hike that confirms how well our winter mountaineering skills are. None of us would’ve changed a thing!
Before you go out and attempt a hike with predicted conditions that are similar. Please, if you’ve never done it before I assure you that reaching out and asking for advice, opinions, gear, layering options etc. are no trouble. I am only here to help. I just want to make sure that everyone can make safe and smart decisions. All I want is to share my experiences, love and passion for the mountains with you guys and hope that it has a positive outcome. Social media can be used as a positive things to help people gain knowledge on how to be better prepared and be safe. Rather than going into these things and winging it and hoping for the best you can at least now have someone to talk to about it to get a real true game plan from someone with experience. I truly only want the best for each and everyone of you. After all we all want to go home at the end of the day just as safely as we left the house in the morning!! Thank you all so much for watching and being a part of our journeys!

Such a chill video and an amazing place
This. Is. NUTS!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
hell yea man! not many people go out to video in these conditions!
Wow that parking lot never slows down
Nope! Never!
Nominating Brian for "Austin Powers" memorial ADK award! Yeah Baby!!
Congrats to Britt and the gang --- epic adventure in some wicked crazy conditions, but you guys crushed it! Great work!
Thanks man!!! It is definitely one hell of an adventure for the books. Not too many videos online showing what and how crazy Adirondack conditions can get on the summits
Finally, my craving for more ADK content (because I can't be up there myself rn) has been satisfied.
Doesn’t get more epic of a hike than this!!
Congrats Everyone!
Brittany says thank you!!
Sit down grab my coffee put on Brian's latest video. O oo what a nice bop, bobing my head tapping the desk,.I'm in for a treat what a nice carefree day of hiking. 25 minutes later..... O MY gOD, O NOOO Whyy why did you go. That's crazy.
Hahahaha The image stabilization is so amazing on the GoPro that it almost makes things seem less windy until you actually see the snow blowing
Wow. Thanks for sharing! First thing I think is WHYYY! Then it's well, why not if you have the experience, gear, know how, skill, etc.
Yeah man besides for all the things that you just mentioned it also was planned a month in advance. People took off of work booked rooms to stay etc. so there was a lot invested between all of us.
@@BrianHikesAllDay thanks for taking viewers on the adventure! I'd say something I'll probably never do but the old saying, never say never.
Three years ago I said I would never hike in the winter lol.. This high completed my second winter round of the 46.
@@BrianHikesAllDay sounds like me now. I'll try and remember this in 3 years. lol
When it comes to hiking though, in all seriousness there has been so many things that I said I’ll never do and every single one of them I have done... lol Most of which all of those things are some of my favorite and most memorable moments
Hi Brian , Brittany, awesomeness, thank you my friends 👊Stay safe stay well 👍✌️
Thanks Dennis!
Great narration Brian!! That’s a major accomplishment in my book, challenging workout and brave to keep going in those conditions! I give you all lots of credit!
Thanks Adam, it was an awesome freaking day
You guys are amazing 🤩 so much fun with friends. So jealous. Congrats, Brittney! 🎈🎊🍾🎉 Happy to see you, Brittney and Jonathan! My ADK heroes 🦸♀️ 🦸♂️ 🦸
Bahahahaha!!! Thank you so much Junie and yes we had so much fun with all our friends.
Congrats on the finish! Awesome video, thanks for sharing your trip.
Glad you liked it man thank you so much for watching!
Epic finish for Brittany! Congratulations to her!! You are all amazing! I am in awe every time I watch you guys!! Thank you so much for sharing....your vlogs keeps me inspired and motivated!!! 😊
Thanks Dawn
This was definitely one hell of a blog for the books. How many other people can you save log in such severe conditions and I guess even hike in it lol.. This is definitely one of my favorite blogs showing how whicked the high peaks can get
What a day...so much fun hiking w u guys again. Congrats to Brit and Robert!
Whoo whoo!!! What a fun day!
Just finished watching!! Wow!!
I’ve said it before...you two are amazing. Love your energy on you videos, Brian! This one was definitely an adrenaline rush to watch! Thanks for taking us along!
awesome, I’m so glad you loved it!! It’s definitely an awesome one. It’s really interesting because it’s so different and epic and crazy. Not the typical vlog you’ll find out there.. this is definitely one of my favorites!
I had a similar experience breaking trail up Mount Mansfield years ago. Kept sliding backwards near the summit. It takes a lot out of you.
Yea it does!!
Sweet. 111/115... don’t forget a couple in the Catskills.
Thanks for sharing. Definitely a fun video.
Congratulations to the W 46rs
Of course I can’t forget them LOL. I’ve already done Hunter Mountain, saving Slide Mountain for a weekend with Brittany‘s kids.. Believe it or not the catskills are really close to us.. But we don’t really hike there that often because we were saving those 35 for kids weekends
Brian_Hikes_All_Day That’s awesome they are near you guys.
There is some serious hiking opportunities down there. A handful, very challenging and rewarding.
Thanks again for all your efforts in making your videos. Much appreciated.
Thanks so much Mark. I put a lot of time and effort into the vlogs so it’s nice to know that they’re appreciated
Holy crap! I thoroughly enjoyed that! Right on!
Awesome!! I figured that’s why I would be enjoyable to watch because it gives a different perspective of how things can be on the mountains when it’s not bluebird days
Fun video Brian, watched at 1.5 speed which made it even more interesting. I'm going to miss winter hiking when its over.
I’m going to miss all the winter hiking as well. It was a really really fun winter hiking with all our friends
@@BrianHikesAllDay Also, what kind of ice axe are you using? I have a larger blackdiamond one I got on sale(havent used it yet) but yours looks easier to carry
Grivel Ghost Evo! 10oz
Awesome video thats hardcore!!!
Yeah man, we plan a date and we go! This was such a fun hike in a true test of what the gear can handle!
Congrats Brittany and Robert. Great video! Major effort. I was doing the Sewards on the same day. Epic conditions.
How was the Sewards?? Did you vlog it?
@@BrianHikesAllDay I did, have not looked at the footage yet. I am going to do a different type of video with some voice overs and lessons learned. But was happy to knock out all 4 solo.
You got Sewards and Seymour in one push???
@@BrianHikesAllDay yea, like 31 miles in 16:22. Seymour (last one) sucked because of the mix precip and warmer temps. I had to kick in ever step for the last 1/4 mile.
I am seriously impressed. That’s a really tough four to do in the winter. I still have yet to do all four in one shot in the winter! You are a tank... Did you break out either range?
Any regrets going down the windy side? I wouldn't have chosen that route.
No, it wasn’t bad at all. To be totally honest with you it was easier now than I thought it was in the summer but maybe because there was a lot of snow in the cracks and some of the stuff we had to go up and down was filled with soft snow
Johnathan's Mustache, oh man...
Hahahaha
Congratulations guy's 👏 I can't ignore John's porn stash though...damn!
Yeah, it stuck out like a sore thumb lol.
Hahahahaah
