@@TheLongRangerGood video! You always do the most ridiculous stuff, keep it up! Backcountry skis will do you so much better than the snowshoes, yeah. That or a pair of backcountry oriented cross-country skis. With full skins they'll have 70-80% of the climbing ability of the snowshoes (which can pretty much go in any terrain, it's like walking in 4wheel drive as you demonstrated) but will outperform snowshoes on the flats and gentle slopes. Plus it makes getting down a lot easier. Worth a rental to see how they would perform, I'd say. On the snowshoes you have, not 100% sure how deep you're sinking in the snow, but you may want to look into the optional flotation tails, they can give you a bit more float and a little less suffer. Finally, you seem like someone who could use a Brompton bike. They fold down to carry-on size, so if you can't bring a normal bike on the bus, you probably could bring a brompton or other folding bike to cut off some of the suffer hike to & from town & trailhead. But again, you kick ass though and through, can't wait to see what you have next in store for us.
This is a Tarptent Aeon Li - a very light, 3 season tent made out of DCF. A little difficult to set up in the very dry snow we have here in Colorado, but it weighs so little and has a small footprint. Not cold at all, and happy it sheltered me from a few passing snow showers. Next time, I'd bring at least a semi-freestanding tent.
Nice work on a tough winter route. Enjoy your enthusiasm
Breaking trail😍😍😍
Nice work on a long route!
Nice work Bro!
Thanks,
6:34 lol. It is not, in fact, just a couple miles. Awesome adventure on my favorite mountain, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out!
Way to keep going. Looked like a slogggg!
I feel like some backcountry skiis would have been the way to go..?
Maybe? I’ve never owned a pair, but snowshoes are certainly NOT a favorite piece of gear!

I'll put them on my wish list - you never know what you'll find at the local sports recycler!
Well done for keep going. That does not look like a 4 season tent, were you cold?
