Mount Sneffels // Skiing Snake Couloir on my New Favorite Colorado 14er
HTML-код

- You can be drawn to a mountain for many reasons such as height, location, or in the case of this mountain, a name. I’ve wanted to climb this peak ever since I saw the name on google maps. Having it also make the list of Colorados 14ers was just a nice bonus. In this episode we climb Mount Sneffels via the Snake Couloir starting at the Blue Lakes Trailhead. Also, a true friend tells you when you have something in your teeth. I guess none of my adventure buddies are true friends cause I've always got stuff in my teeth.
My favorite day of the week is whenever Mediocre posts a video
I am with you man
“defenitley a no fall zone” -danny on the edge of a snowy abyss
I felt that. Ones I don't tell the wife about, much less take video of ;-)
@@vashusan1984 WORD.
Great vid
I LOL'd at "Let's get Chris down, and, em, get his mouth wrapped around a burrito." Too fun, as usual!
This better be good - you’ve been keeping me waiting long enough!
Classic Line - always great to see you guys in CO. Great vid as always!
I need a VS/MA collab ASAP!
Amazing production. Lots of time and extra effort to get these shots. I hope you guys review this content and enjoy it as much as we do.
I’m ready for the mountain runs again 🙌🏽
Only Christof can pull off those sunglasses!
👊
Most inspirational RUclips channel ever!
Been patiently waiting for a new episode and it’s in my neck of the woods!
It would be cool to see some vids of you guys mountain biking!
great job fellas!! love this channel. thanks for putting in the work and sharing your adventures!
My favorite mountain in all the land. Thanks for doing this guys!
love this channel. And now, I can't stop saying 'Mountin'. thank you, Danny.
Thank you for continuing to put out awesome content. 👌
Ahh so excited you posted a new video! Lolll the name on this one is hilarious - those blue lakes are super special in the summer. Looking forward to more of your videos this summer.
Official Counter: Mediocre Amateur videos since Danny's last puke: 7!
Great t see Christof back on a 14er. Maybe I need to start a second counter of the number of different headbands Christof wears in an interview:
Number of Christof headbands: 3.
Thanks for another episode. Always entertaining!
THAT was SICK! Awesome descent on that steep stuff.....Wow!
Great work, hard conditions, excellent drone footage ... well done.
I'm a simple man, I see a new Mediocre Amateur video, I click.
The music, the shots, the commentary. This is one of the best ones yet! Very well done
Sneffels helped bring out the best in the both of you
So awesome! That mountain is crazy cool. Nice job Snaking Sneffels.
Scott Schmidt instructional videos, License to Thrill, epic. Well played!!!
Y'all are nuts! Thank you, Gentlemen, for another adventure!!
Love the videos! Watch your stuff all the time!
Love seeing a cool route pop up on Strava, then getting to see the action a week or so later. 🙌🏼
This is the best birthday present! Love this area and I'm totally stoked for this video!
Happy birthday Tom!
I did that mountain from the other side, Yankee boy basin, many-many years ago. When I looked down the north face from the top I so wanted to climb the couloir. Never did make it back. Thanks for taking us along on the trip.
What a great project and perfect footage, boys!
Thank you for another great adventure!
Great seeing some stuff from you again
whaaaat, this came on auto-play and I was like, "these guys didn't do Sneffels yet"...but saw this was uploaded today!! Awesome - can't wait. I summited Sneffels a few years ago - loved it.
9:04 “Turn into a human shish kebab, blood spouting, squirting out of me like I’m a colander”
I’ve never heard that description before and will probably never hear it again!😂
Awesome shots as usual 💯. Especially the drone over the gullie
That's my daily view! Probably was looking up there as you guys climbed.
I tried to eat my lunch at work today while watching this. First bite attempt was around the point you climbed into the couloir. A couple minutes later I realized I was still staring at the screen motionless with my fork hovering over my salad like a weirdo. Hope no one saw me...
Seeing a new video from you guys is the best
Greatest 14er in CO! Glad you guys had a good time
Another awesome video guys. Looking forward to many more this summer!
You guys are f’ing nuts! Great to see a new one posted! Thanks!
The return of pucker factor! Also I felt guilty eating my second bowl of fruit loops while listening to Christ of Nutella talk about being out of shape.
Always inspiring me for future adventures!
Super jealous -- this is a line I've been eyeing for years, but now I'm on the other side of the country. Sneffels is one of my favorite peaks but the low snow in May is kind of crazy, I remember climbing Sneffels by its standard route in July 2019 with continuous snow from the trailhead. Btw, most people rap into the couloir from the summit block -- that downclimb looked pretty spicy.
Ayyyy South Slopes route. Gracious- you did that ascent after the saddle with snow in that steep gully. Now I need to do Sneffels again.
Great photography liked the survival skiing - been there!
love your videos, great work!
Been waiting for another one. Good stuff!
you guys are crazy, love it
Great video! Just discovered this channel! So glad!
Great video. Thanks guys.
your camera work is incredible
I missed your videos! Thanks for posting! At the moment, as I'm not native english speaker, I'm trying to figure out why the name Sneffels is so funny - that's my adventure, LOL!
Again, so awesome
Really cool place. Planning my first 14er this summer, getting stoked for that 12,500 pain cave. LOL
Thank you for being an inspiration for me
Bad ass... I was so nervous watching you guys ski down!
Top shelf work chaps
this is amaaaaaazing!
Awesome; new video. Love u guys
I was waiting so long for another video!
Loving the new soundtracks!
Your vids keep getting better. Glad kristoff is still kicking ass
Great video fellas
Fantastic video, again! I'd love to know you method of research on these treks.
10 miles! You guys were really taking it easy!
Great video, guys....! :)
“Skis on skis off skis on”😂😂 that blunt punchin back
You guys make everything look easy. Even though I’m postive this is incredibly dangerous and difficult.
the legends are back, enough said
You guys have some big balls!!!! In No Fall Zone.
Y’all made me so nervous of getting cliffed out on that descent when Christof went over that small cornice.
Christoph seems deliriously “into thin air” at 10:40 trying to make an escape! Lol. Be careful!
Cristof's headband selection was definitely ON POINT!
🙌
MAGNIFICO
Oh yeah baby! Bring it on!
Well done lads!
Awesome man,
Tried to climb Sneffels last October on a quick road trip passing thru Colorado. Got snowed on, and that shut down all of the roads up to it from Ouray, unfortunately, but I will be back!
Woooooooooooo! Back with Colorado! Let's gooo!
Sick bro !
It’s ok Christof my jump turns on 50 degree slopes are rusty too
The Legends are back.
You guys should do Little Bear-Blanca traverse in the summer!
I second this
I third this. probably the gnarliest traverse in Colorado
i fourth this
Brilliant
Best youtubers out there!!!
Very impressive skiing, and PHENOMENAL video, ESP the drone footage - WAY COOL!
You guys need to do Wetterhorn peak in Colorado. Such an awesome peak
Greetings from the UK.....Its only my opinion for what its worth but when you booted up for the snake couloir, would it not have been a better option to get the axes out. If you had taken a tumble there you would not be able to arrest the fall down the couloir with ski poles.
I really enjoy your video's if only we had mountains in the UK like you guys.......
Keep the Vids rollin'😉
Always excited to see a new Mediocre and it never disappoints !!! "Snaked the Sneffels"....quote of the week !!!!
Awesome!
I usually give Christof crap about his fitness. Not this time! I know Mount Sneffels well. Great effort and your turns were great not rusty!!! The conditions at the top were dangerous. Definitely, no fall zone!!!
This is too good, we attempted this exact route on May 22, 2021 and couldn't even make it to Blaine basin the conditions were atrocious and we got thunderstormed on (rain at 10,500ft) and the hard freeze we were counting on to try and make any progress never came so we got skunked. We'll try again some other time though!!
Thank you for another great vid!
BTW I can't find your Mt. Shasta vid, did you delete it? :-(
Wish you guys the best & stay safe!
"these guys just want to ride mountain bikes" LOL yep, that happened to me! I can see Sneffels from my house!
sick!
Why didn't you guys use crampons for the patchy snow spots in lower elevation? I would think that would be faster than taking ski's off and on again. Amazing vid though!
Excellent work fellas! I wished you had better footage of that summit pitch, a drone perspective would have been special there. It appears that the mountain biking may have benefitted Christoph?
That’s what I’m claiming no matter what Danny says😂
The new aspect ratio looks really good.
Looks like a lot of fun; glad to see you guys still at it! Did you use a drone at 7:34? How'd you get that smooth shot?
