New sub. Headed to Ellingwood/Blanca in 10 days. Im going from Zapata Falls side. My first 14er. Im excited, and a bit nervous. Route finding isnt one of my strengths. Nice vid!
Spent a lot of time hiking, climbing, backpacking there in late the 90s / early 00s. Its a long hike up that road. I think I recognized some of those rocks, lol. Thanks for posting and the memories! 👍
One cannot forget Como Road no matter how hard they try 😂. Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped bring back some memories. I love the area once you get up to Lake Como!
@@HikinginColorado I went up to Lake Como several times. Wish I could go back, but that's a remote chance. Worst mosquitoes I ever encountered in the Rockies was there late in the season. I did meet several great people and some incredible (and strong) climbers there.
At 9:22, there is a lake, bottom right of the video. This is Lily Lake accessed from the Huerferno Valley to the southeast. Question - can you access the ridge to Blanca from the lake? It looks accessible and you can drive to within about 4 miles from the lake, eliminating the Lake Como rd.
Beautiful footage sir, appreciate the hard work

Beautiful blue sky that day! That natural sunlight always makes everything look better. Awesome hike and vid!!!
It was a beautiful weekend! There were little to no clouds every day I was up there. Thanks!

Great video Chad! I've been waiting for the stationary walk-by shots. They add a whole new element.
Thanks Tylor!
So what do you do for safety at night time with wildlife?
Great Video. Beautiful. You did a great job. I can't wait to make my attempt at this.
Thanks Brent! If you take a full weekend to camp, you can really enjoy your time up there!
Nice buddy, I'm enjoying the upgrades in production quality! Some beautiful hiking shots of you from a stationary camera.
Thanks, Ben! I am saving up for one of the Panasonics you recommended to me awhile back. Hoping to have it by the new year!
Another great video.. I was up there 4 years ago. I cant believe the beetle kill up there now
Thank you! This was the 4th time I made that trip up Como Road. Happy to have it be my last time for awhile
