    Right on dude! Washington is such an underrated mountain state. I just moved to Utah and no one here seems to quite grasp how mountainous where I came from is haha. The Wasatch is great but it’s not a comparison alone to the cascades lol. People just mention the volcanos of WA but the North cascades are where it’s at! The mountains would’ve gone on ever further for ya if not for some of the smoke you had. Black Peak is a classic, did it a couple years ago in October. Loved it from start to finish! Hope you get to see more of the state on your future adventures🤙

    You ever think about putting together a top ten list? Your ten favorite hikes ever? Just curious, since you've experienced a whole lot of incredible!?! 😲😍
    5,500 feet is insane! I'd never try this one, but definitely impressed. Hoping to get up to Sahale Glacier in the Cascades... "only" about 4,000 feet on the ascent, trail the whole way. Looks mind blowing, but since there's no route finding or scrambling it might be too tame for you guys! 😉🤷‍♂️

I have so many videos to edit from this past summer I'm not sure I'll have time 🤣 , I can't wait to share this summer's adventures with people! Just got off Sahale a few days ago, it's top ten for me absolutely! I'm so excited to edit that adventure! Thanks for the idea about a top ten!

    • @TheMountainMatt
      @TheMountainMatt  Год назад +1

      Well... we were on track to make it back to our vehicle around 5 or 6. We were flying that particular day. When we made it down the scree field with the snow on it, Dalton realized that he had left his phone up on the saddle 🤣. So I waited while he went back up to get his phone. It only took him around 30-40 mins but he added another 500-1000 feet of vert to his total 🤣! I got a nice nap in while I waited 🤣. I completely forgot about that story!

      The scree wasn’t bad. There’s some tricky climbing at the final step to the summit. Down climbing was tricky as well. Not terrible though 👍🏼

  • @sluggotinfantryman

    This is the area, obviously, the only way in is Washington Pass, which many take/hike down and out of Lake Chelan. It is the big peaks. Can't do the rock hop anymore. if you cannot do 20 squats with one leg might want to consider using the trails. Big rocks take stepping down 2 feet or more and one leg takes the load. Times 10,000.

And you had great weather in a place that is infamous for bad weather. What a summit view you got to experience. Can I ask you if you could watch one of our videos just to hear what you think. Strawberry Lake moose on Mirisfrimo Outdoors channel. I would love to hear your opinion because you are making videos that truly rock. A party for our eyes to follow along with you.
