See our successful summit of Longs Peak (as well as Meeker) via "The Loft Route" in this video! I try to add in route details and show you the correct line as well (it was my 2nd time up Longs Peak summit via The Loft Route...so I know it pretty well now!): ruclips.net/video/4DCSMit-a4Y/видео.html
The only way to fail is to not come home. Good call, and props for putting it on youtube, there should be more of that.
Great video! Why? Because you didn't succeed. You chose safety over glory and shared a great lesson for people who want to get out into the mountains. Know your limits and always be prepared to turn back if the conditions the mountain is giving you change or become too sketchy. It can still be fun even if you don't reach your goal. Thanks for sharing Sage!
I know where you turned around and that was a very good decision. I climbed to the top of the Notch around Labor Day in 2004, the summit of Longs was closed to pull a body off. It had snowed a little up top the day before. We didn't have micro spikes either. However it was fine heading up and the snow and ice had mostly melted. The problem was coming back down. The sun had moved and that whole area was in the shade. The section you turned around at was now completely iced over. It was one of the most scariest things I've done. If you noticed it slopes down to a pretty good sized cliff. We scooted along on our butts and there were enough rocks sticking out to put our feet on but the slightest mistake would send you over the edge with that ice.
very good advice here! Glad you made it down safe!
I really appreciate the fact that you are filming yourself and even have to run back to collect the camera for those cool shots!
The sun was hazy exactly like that all the way over here in philadelphia on wednesday. Absolutely insane the sheer volume of smoke the wildfires cause. Awesome video thank you Sage
I've seen your times on Strava! You're fast! Prepping to do the Loft for the first time tomorrow am.
Hats off to you. This is super important for people to see, well done!
That looks like a blast! You are having too much fun!
Nice vlog pal... watching your videos. Has had me starting to run the fells where I live in england. Keep you the good work.
What I would to be able to climb mountains like that right now. Incredible views Sage
Amazing footage. Very impressive. Thank you!
WRT to ice axes, you may want to look at the Camp USA "Corsa". It's a certified, lightweight axe more suitable for occasional traction rather than the "full size" axes that REI stocks.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Always enjoy your content and the knowledge you provide. Always top level material.
Very brave bike! A real role model!
I have done the Keyhole route looking foward to do this one next time, good call calling it quits when you did
The ramps are tricky on a dry day. Too bad though, everything after the saddle probably would have been fine. I saw it last weekend from St. Vrain, looked dry (although the down climb next to the palisades is in the shade so who knows). Good call in any case, there's always next time!
I actually prefer your running videos. These videos make me nervous! Great decision to turn back.
Bravo, being responsible and safe is always that best option. This might help me in future adventures.
Looks beautiful, I hope to make it there one day.
I remember hiking to Chasm Lake years ago. This video brought back the memories of being on top of the 14'ers so long ago. My goal for 2021 is to climb several of them including Long's Peak. Great decision on your part and great video, thanks!
Love these videos man there awesome!!
Awesome views mate 🤟🏻
Good call. I turned back first attempt because of ice and snow. Came back following year no ice. Got up second time.
Phenomenal video Sage. Not sure I'll ever try the Loft route, KeyHole route in the snow without traction (July 4th, 2019) was more adventure than I needed. Always better to hike another day.
Beautiful. Don’t get snow very often here in Hawai’i
Good call.
This is the problem with the trail running style of mountaineering. The cost of traveling light and fast is not have all the gear you may need (crampons, ice axe, etc). I carry a huge pack up these mountains not because I expect to use everything, but to maximize my chance for summiting. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this. Obviously, really good job on what you did accomplish, and you made the right call.
I’ve been up in RNMP since last Thursday. Epic place. Plan on doing Chasm Lake on Saturday (will leave Loft to the pros...) - timely video. I was on my way up Twin Sisters Peaks opposite when you were up Longs. 🤙🏼 Been surprised by how few trail runners I’ve physically come across - none so far bar me!
Great vid as always!
nice work! yes, Chasm lake is an amazing place!
@Vo2maxProductions Hi Sage, protected your identity today - was up Chasm Lake and a friendly hiker who saw me run Hallet Peak yesterday too asked if I was that guy that runs up all those 14ers on YT. “No that’s Sage Canaday, a legend and on a whole different level!” I replied. 😂
Chasm Lake was indeed epic - what a beauty of a spot!
NICE!!! THANK YOU! Might need to send you a copy of my "THE WINTER ATHLETE" book (Johnson Press)! :-) Speak to Danny at Kahtoola as a coach ilg contact for some MicroSpikes! Ha! ilg's Vlog this week is about backing off a client from Silver Mountain cuz of? TOO MUCH SNOW! HA! We are Blessed! Thanks again, really nice seeing RMNP! head bowed,
Crazy bro I want to climb Longs before winter hits. You down to be my tour guide? 😂
"The mountain is not fair, or unfair, it's simply dangerous"
I did longs on July 20th via loft. That was a long day
Nice! Real Nice...Killenesk! Colorado has to be the BEST State of all for Trail Running/hiking geographic beauty! No goats up there?
haha reminds me of trying to camp at the highest camping point in WA and could not get up over the Lip without risking...possible death and Mountain did win but I kept my life....I will be back....maybe another chance for...either. Safety First yup boss!
You sure those aren't Speedgoat 3s? They look eerily similar to my three pairs of 3s =)
Summit is optional, going home is mandatory.
The other way to look at it is mini-crampons would have let you climb higher into potentially worse terrain to a harder point to downclimb from. But that 'unknown' is climbing.
Was that a hard line at the beginning there Sage?
How do you run up that mountain so fast. For it being that vertical
What headlamp is that with the blinking red taillight?
The snows made this pretty even if it wasn't your day.
But, brah, Peye-ka (pie-kuh) not peek-uh. Pikachu is the only pee-ka.
Becca Kreidler good knowledge, been calling it pee-ka too until now.
@@user-yl7lz1hm6r As soon as he said it, I was like - awwww, I know where he got it from...but nah.
What would Kilian do? 🤔 Me thinks I go up.
Something beat the the Sage? This I gotta see.
as Blues Traveler once said: "the mountains win again".
ALWAYS better to live for another day! Better to be conservative, especially when solo summitting.
I went back from 1750m like a little girl.. fear of fall..
Microspikes bro...
