Hey Roadrunner. This is Detour. I also hiked the AT in 2022 and submitted on Sept. 16 on my 62nd birthday. I hope to hike the PCT next year. Thank you for sharing your journey.
This is from Nitecore NB10000 FAQs: Ther is only one blue indicator blinking whenever I tap the button an I just charged it. The NB10000 enters a hidden reset mode after its mode button is held down for a prolonged time (10 - 15+ seconds) Charge it again for 10+ minutes and the power bank will wake up and work properly. I would plug it into your other power bank for a few minutes to see if it wake up.
So excited watching this.This section to me is exciting and a huge test of endurance, I love the challenge and being out there with no choice really but to carry on somehow and eventually you will start descending down to the highway. I love being cut off out in the wilderness and I cant wait to get back to the PCT.
Y'all did great! Twelve miles uphill in snow is a good day, especially in trail runners that don't provide the support that boots give on snow. When you find a short slope with a steep angle, drop your pack and pull out your ice axe and do a few practice falls, it's the only way to get the self arrest movement pattern in your body-kind of like learning advanced cha-cha turns or West Coast Swing. 4-5 practice slips will have you traveling with confidence. Practice: Slide on your back, double grip your axe across your chest, one hand on the head and the other low on the handle, roll to your front, contract your midsection with your knees in the snow and keep your feet off the snow (don't want to catch a spike in the snow and end up cartwheeling), last step is just arching the back to put as much pressure on the ace until you stop. Add your pack to this practice to get a feel for the time needed. Lastly, don't panic and don't lose your towel (oops, wrong book!).
I think it's so great you're living your dream on the PCT! I wish you a safe journey. I don't think I would have had the courage or ability to take the time off work to attempt such a hike when I was much younger...thanks for letting us watch and tag along
You guys are doing great! - The thing about decomposed granite on slopes is that it can be almost as frictionless as ice. If the rocks are a couple millimeters across it's like walking downslope on ball bearings.
Fun fact- if you smell the bark of the large pine trees they smell like butterscotch. The California elevation is killer until you get used to it. That plus the dry air. Well done.
Wow that was really sketchy 😮 the trail by the snow was so thin and the snow crossings looked ruff! Looks like you have a great group of hiking buddies that help each other out. Be safe!
Hard stuff, but a great video> Really liked all the shots of the trail ahead and behind. Gives a much better idea of the terrain than talking about it does.
Great Training for the High Sierras. Lots of snow fields and yes !!! Post Holding !!! Once you reach the Sierras. Guess you are planning on doing the Triple Crown ?? Your a strong Hiker so you can do it !! Kept Pounding !!! 9 Lives 🐾 Appalachian Adventure Guides. P.S. Love the German and Southern Accent. I have a Southern Hillbilly Accent which most people view me as Ignorant or stupid. But mountain people have the best common sense and read people very well.
Regarding your nitecore power bank situation: A reviewer on Amazon said if the mode button is pressed more than 10 seconds, the battery will be completely disabled until the next time you charged it. I guess the mode button was accidentally pressed more than 10 secs while it was in your backpack.
I was so tense and nervous watching this. Watching is like having multiple cups of coffee! 😂 You all inspire me! Not to hike….😂 but to watch more hiking videos 😂 I will hike in my lane. 😂
Wow, you are all amazing. So enjoying these videos. I have watched so many of the AT so the new scenery and experiences are fascinating to follow. Good for you all, hope you had a good night sleep.
Whoa, tough day! "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." You did it! There's nothing quite like pushing to the upper reaches of your Stretch Zone (i.e., Comfort, Stretch, Panic Zones).
Was just doing a road-trip and took a couple steps on the PCT right off of Whitewater. Was amazing to see the dessert and mountains and to know you were also out there leaving the dream. Happy hiking.
I don’t like heights either, but I started rock climbing so I can get used to the vertigo feeling I get and it has built so much confidence it really helps when I am hiking on ledges and such. I don’t guess it would help me at all with slippery snow ledges though!! 😮 Y’all are doing Awesome!!! Take your time and I think you will just get more and more comfortable with it! Also eventually the snow will melt…right…?❤🙏🏻
Hiking through rotten snow = it’s not frozen but softened. Becomes a slog. Timing is important if possible. Hike when frozen, perhaps hike at night with head lamps
I started counting blowdowns Saturday, 4/20 while we were hiking from Saddle Junction to Spitler Peak Trail (SOBO). I lot count after number 5. ;p Smart move going up and over Apache Peak. Lessons learned are lessons earned. Just a note, whenever I have several patched of snow, I don't change out of my spikes. They travel well on dirt! Gotta love those blowdowns too! Tough day for sure.
Loving your videos! Keep them coming……I’m living vicariously through you all right now! I’m wondering what the name/brand of your waffle hoodie is? I heard you call it a name I’ve never heard before in another video (new to hiking here). Thx for your time! Stay safe and have fun!!!
Are there many PCT markings to help you stay on trail? I'm always looking in your videos and don't see many. What a tough day, you should be proud of yourself. I'm also afraid of heights, so I'm very impressed with what you have done so far
Glad you stayed safe. The state of California should put fixed cables nicely anchored along those dangerous areas. No one in their right mind wants to fall down the mountain and die a horrible death!
Batteries don’t like cold, cheap ones like it even less. The PCT is much harder than the AT, you did as much work today as you did going up Katahdin on the AT. Also the altitude gets to you as you tire quickly, sun is hotter too, thank goodness it has not been windy. Winds can hit over 100 mph on those peaks (think Mt Washington wind speeds) so pay close attention to weather. So far ya’ll are besting everything thrown at you. Next resupply you might consider some light gloves to keep your hands safe.
Lithium battery can't handle cold, Lithium batteries depending on manufacturer or without built in heaters cannot handle cold weather, keep in sleeping bag. Optimal temp range of Lithium is 14°F to 122°F, cold weather zaps them.
Well, if it was anything like the year I hiked then you got 500 miles more of this in the sierras and beyond with much more altitude,elevation gain and snow. Get your skills going. Have fun. 🤣
Wow, Julianne. What a day. I congratulate each one of you on getting it accomplished. Those blowdowns were lethal, in and of themselves. Hope your hand heals quickly where you cut it. Ya'll be careful. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
You need to get on a safe slope and practice sliding and arresting your fall using the ice axe. Training is needed. You have to be instinctive in use of the ice axe, roll onto your belly and hold the axe at shoulder level, high up your body so that the point digs in and then your body weight hangs off it as tge point digs in to stop you. All done in a split second for it to be effective.
Exactly. These AT hikers try to psyche themselves up with "but it has more elevation gain/loss". Get outta here. The PCT is the real deal, comparable to - or perhaps exceeding - the Alps for real alpine mountaineering. And as everyone keeps saying, just wait for the Sierra. (There was an AT YT hiker last year who got schooled hard and quit.) RR, you've got the physical/mental ability to do this. Just adjust your expectations and realize you're in for a fight. Oh, and beg Plus One to stay with your group.
I appreciate the encouragement. I really do. Have you hiked the AT? Parts? The whole thing? Just curious. Do you have any cool feedback with regard to the Sierra. Something besides “just wait for the Sierra?” We always got the “just wait for the Whites” and it just wasn’t really helpful. Once we successfully did the Whites, it was “just wait for Southern Maine”. I dunno. It’s just not that helpful, but if you did the Sierra I really would love some tips and tricks. It’s definitely often on our minds and I really would love some good info from someone who’s actually done the entire section. Thank you 🤗
I'm a classic west coast snob. I love above tree line (above 11k) I hate trees - not really, just in the context of the High Sierra. The best resource is High Sierra Topix. I posted a number of trail reports back in the day. You guys will be fine. The name of the game is to get going by 3-4am. Just make sure you have a good headlamp and back up batteries. Another good resource is the Whitney Zone. If you're morbid, I posted a report years back on a fatality (we had photos of the vic ascending)

This is from Nitecore NB10000 FAQs: Ther is only one blue indicator blinking whenever I tap the button an I just charged it. The NB10000 enters a hidden reset mode after its mode button is held down for a prolonged time (10 - 15+ seconds) Charge it again for 10+ minutes and the power bank will wake up and work properly. I would plug it into your other power bank for a few minutes to see if it wake up.
The trail is preparing you for the Sierras!
Yeah I think so too
I'd say you did great for your experience level.. Definitely good practice for the Sierra. Good job.
12.9! Bah, call it 13! For how hard that day was, you deserve the brag!
Thank you, Plus One, for finding Roadrunner's micro-spikes bag!
He’s ma hero

Thanks 👍
Gettin into some serious hiking now. Thanks for letting us follow along.
Absolutely my pleasure
"it was hard" True story! Hopefully the trail had a few switchbacks and didn't just send you straight up the peak!
No, the PCT is mostly switchbacks. No NY state mountain climbing lol 😂
Glad you brought along the Traveling Nurse...
Indeed 😊
Hard stuff, but a great video> Really liked all the shots of the trail ahead and behind. Gives a much better idea of the terrain than talking about it does.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A tough day is a good day and still better than a work day! Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

Yes indeed
You all are made of some tough stuff! I think the PCT suites you - Tough and Beautiful with surprises around every corner 😊
Yay
Resilient attitude getting you thru. Thankyou for sharing your hike. 😊
Always!
It looked tough with the snow, but you guys did it! 😊 Sound of Music- Climb every mountain, Ford every stream 🎶

SkyGOAT! There’s a code in my video description to get some percent off if you’d like to get one 🤗
Keep up the hard work! You are doing great.
Thank you! Will do!
The whippets are great when you have small trees close by when descending. You can hook around the trunk and slow your descent.
Oh that’s good to know
The scenery is amazing. You guys rock it.
Thank you
Are there many PCT markings to help you stay on trail? I'm always looking in your videos and don't see many. What a tough day, you should be proud of yourself. I'm also afraid of heights, so I'm very impressed with what you have done so far
Snow hiking is hard . You did great!
Yes it’s hard
Just started following you from my UK couch! I’m full of admiration and looking forward to your next post.
Welcome aboard!
Just Mother Nature's way of saying, SLOW DOWN. Don't run in my house. 🤣👍
You got that right!
Crikey!
Lol
Well derr! 🎉 I really like your trail family
Thank you! 😁
Glad you stayed safe. The state of California should put fixed cables nicely anchored along those dangerous areas. No one in their right mind wants to fall down the mountain and die a horrible death!
That’s true, but also nobody said a thru hike should be easy, right?
Forget the microspikes looks , like cross-country skiing to me.
lol yes
Beautiful scenery but some sketchy and hard areas in your day. Be safe and Hike~~On~~>
Yes, thanks
You got this
Thank you
Hi Roadrunner.. can you wear your spikes in dirt? So you don't have to keep putting them on and off.
Yes you can for small patches in between
You’re going to have to change from “river crossin” to “snow traversin” 😅
You are so right

A little American slang for ya. A coffee/cocoa is sometimes known as the poor man’s mocha.
Yummy
fireball is an umbrella turtle
lol I like that
Snow. Altitude. Very freumensch trail. Perhaps some schwarzedeutsch?
The battery mysteriously discharged?

The temperature looked to be well over 14°F. Probably over 30°F.
Temps were not that low and I always put them in my toe box or in my quilt
Well, if it was anything like the year I hiked then you got 500 miles more of this in the sierras and beyond with much more altitude,elevation gain and snow. Get your skills going. Have fun. 🤣
Sounds great!
Wow, Julianne. What a day. I congratulate each one of you
on getting it accomplished. Those blowdowns were lethal, in and of themselves. Hope your hand heals quickly where you cut it. Ya'll be careful. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Thank you so much!!
How do you know where to go in the snow? This is not like the AT with the friendly white blazes that you can easily see.
It’s a struggle. We use FarOut
You need to get on a safe slope and practice sliding and arresting your fall using the ice axe. Training is needed. You have to be instinctive in use of the ice axe, roll onto your belly and hold the axe at shoulder level, high up your body so that the point digs in and then your body weight hangs off it as tge point digs in to stop you. All done in a split second for it to be effective.
Thank you 😊
Anything worth doing is going to be hard. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.
You speak the truth
What's the story behind the potato?
I’ll tell it one day
Is the new battery in power saver mode??
Something about having pushed the button too long
If you don’t want to see snow, I won’t tell you what you’ll see in the Sierras!
Snow? !?!? What’s that?
Welcome to the “real” PCT. Not so flat, huh? As others have said good practice for the Sierras .
Exactly. These AT hikers try to psyche themselves up with "but it has more elevation gain/loss".
Get outta here. The PCT is the real deal, comparable to - or perhaps exceeding - the Alps for real alpine mountaineering.
And as everyone keeps saying, just wait for the Sierra.
(There was an AT YT hiker last year who got schooled hard and quit.)
RR, you've got the physical/mental ability to do this. Just adjust your expectations and realize you're in for a fight.
Oh, and beg Plus One to stay with your group.
Not so flat indeed. But often, very gradual and very comfortable. The weather is the sucker, really.

'San Jacinto' , a beautifully atmospheric song by Peter Gabriel
San Jacinto Lyrics
[Verse 1: Peter Gabriel]
Thick cloud, steam rising
Hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me, buffalo roam
Sage in bundle, rub on skin
Outside, cold air
Stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint, eagle feathers
Coyote calling, it has begun
Something moving in
I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying, slow
Letting go of life
Shaboozey 'Vegas' Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified
[Interlude: Peter Gabriel & Jill Gabriel]
(Hyena wakan tanka)
(Hyena wakan tanka)
(Hyena wakan tanka)
(Hyena wakan tanka)
(Hyena wakan tanka)
(Hyena wakan tanka)
[Verse 2: Peter Gabriel]
Medicine man lead me up through town
Indian ground, so far down
Cut up land, each house a pool
Kids wearing water wings, drink in cool
Follow dry river bed
Watch Scouts and Guides make pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco
Sitting Bull steakhouse, white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack, see
Look at mountain top, keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow
White wind blow
[Bridge: Peter Gabriel]
I hold the line
The line of strength
That pulls me through the fear
San Jacinto
I hold the line
San Jacinto
The poison bite
And darkness take my sight
I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek
Think I'm losing it, getting weaker
I hold the line
I hold the line
San Jacinto
Yellow eagle flies down from the sun
From the sun
[Outro: Peter Gabriel]
We will walk on the land
We will breathe of the air
We will drink from the stream
We will live, hold the line
Hold the line, hold the line
We will live, hold the line
Hold the line, hold the line

A young Native American undergoes the trials of a Coming of Age ritual, in which a medicine man leads him up into the mountains and purposefully subjects him to a rattlesnake bite. The youth can only earn his place as a brave by making it back from the wilderness.
The San Jacinto mountains overlook Palm Springs, California. Here, the exclusive resort community contrasts with the poor Native American communities on the other side of the mountains. As the young man begins his journey, he passes a world in which his culture has been appropriated as a whimsical novelty for the enjoyment of affluent white people.
In “San Jacinto,” the young man is not just carrying himself through the trial and out of the wilderness. He is also metaphorically carrying his heritage through a cultural wilderness where it too could die.
