The only comfort I get from watching you climb dangerous mountains is that you posted the video, so I know you survived. I have a fear of heights. Love watching you access places I will never see. Thanks.
A fear of heights is perfectly reasonable. You might fall and hurt yourself.
That’s what my husband tells me. He’s ok he posted the video😊
I love this too. But I'm old, and I have to say I'm glad I dozed off before whatever parts were life-threatening. I couldn't take watching scary stuff right now. I'm not afraid to die. Just don't wanna watch a young guy almost die. And I'd rather not die by falling.
He's not "climbing" dangerous muntains, he's hiking intermittent dangerous terrain alone.
@@jago76 I also have a fear of heights and even get that weird scared feeling when I watch videos of people pointing the camera down from precariously high vantage points. Oddly, my fears have not kept me from hiking up and over mountain passes on sketchy (to me) narrow trails. I never go alone though.
My favorite part is when you didn't fall and die. My least favorite part was worrying you were going to fall and die. Thank you for the adventure today and for the past 5 or so years I've been watching. Keep up the good work.
If you see a video, he didn't die.
Unless someone found his body, took all of his gear, edited and uploaded the content to his channel, he's perfectly fine.
camera man never dies
HUGE RESPECT!! A drive then a hike followed by a climb leading to a view are your most enjoyable videos as far as I'm concerned. This is one of your best.
That's great to hear! This is the kind of content I enjoy making the most 😁
This is, to me, also one of your best, Tristan. A variety of activities which illustrate you doing what you do best!! The climbing was very intense but you did it very well, sir! Wish I had your skills!!😊 love your channel, Tristan. ❤❤
Phew! You had us holding our breath on this one! Love the beautiful drone footage as well. Thank you for sharing. You put so much thought & planning in to your hikes & climbs. We love your channel.
Long time watcher, first time commenting: Dude, You Rock! Your exploits both thrill & inspire me, working on that time when I'm actually living on the road and I'm taking notes & many have your fingerprints on them & I'm a woman & 65! 💪🥾
Nice!! Glad I'm not the only older one (64 yrs old) who aspires to get out on the road far more than I have with lots of mountain hiking/climbing. He definitely inspires me, as well. All the best to you in your adventures!
You are a brave soul, Tristan. No people, true climbing , breathtaking scenery, rugged landscapes with remarkable drone footage & camera work make SUVRVing the channel to subscribe to. Simply amazing. Seriously, is it harder to ascend or descend from a mountain top like that one ? I think I would be dreading climbing down. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️
I would agree with the dread of climbing down. How do you find a foothold when your body is clinging to the rocks?
It's both harder and easier in different ways. It's easier going down in the sense that you know what to expect. But it's harder going down because it's just more awkward to climb down. Thanks for watching!
@@SUVRVingthanks😊
I was thinking that the whole time like how the hell will he get down? As I cringe thinking about it.
I have been watching your videos for more than 2 years and this is my first comment. It is very thrilling and the only comfort is knowing you are still alive.
Man, you really knocked this one out of the park. Several times I got goosebumps from the footage.
Yet another enjoyable and fun video with great scenery, no social drama or click bait, and great narration. Thank you. I’m liking your new drone! Thanks, Tristan!
You seem to have a knack for finding wide open spaces. I'm so envious!
Thanks for sharing...
I thought I was going to fall out of my recliner watching you climb that. I've paused with you at the top to write this. I shudder at the thought of your climb down. People who don't have a fear of heights mystify me. You are incredible, Tristan!
Free Soloing in remote locations is not to be taken lightly. The temptation to continue upwards can sometimes overpower our ability to down climb. Excellent video! Amazing location, very much enjoyed it.
I thought that was kind of foolhardy with no rope for going down. I climbed all through the 70s until my daughter was born, then toned it down to safer routes as there were people who needed me. Took my daughter on the JMT and we climbed Mt. Banner together. She wanted to do Mt. Ritter and I said it is a bit too technical for an 8 year old girl. She was bothered more by the damned mosquitos than the heights.
It's edgy isn't it. Just one loose rock, then a fall, no one else for miles and miles, quite likely no cell phone coverage.
Thanks for mentioning that you would deconstruct the cairns you built. There is a good reason to place them, but too many people build them just for fun with possible negative impacts. You demonstrate good practice and admirable behavior.
Thanks!
Thank you!
I'm writing this from my homebuilt RV, boondocking in the Mojave Desert in California. I'm 67, not a climber, but I have done a lot of solo hiking. I have also gone up cliffs that I then found terrifying to climb back down. I'd love to do a climb like that with some protection. It looks like going up would be easy enough, but coming down would be the spooky part for me. Nice job and narration. Thanks for posting!
OMG Tristan you are crazy. I always freak out about your safety when I see you do this type of climb. The views were utterly amazing. Thanks again for taking us all on these great adventures of yours. Stay safe. My favorite part was you making your goal safely.
Well THAT got my blood pumping this early Saturday morning! 😮 That “Whoooo!” at the top was so very well-derserved! 😊
I was saying to myself, please don’t climb this to make a video. It looks too dangerous. But when I heard you let out a rejoicing victory yell at the top, I knew you did it for yourself and just took us along with you. Great video! Thank you, Tristan!
In another video he said he's a 20+ year rock climber
So very cool. Epic hike. Drone footage was spectacular 👌. Great job, my friend.
I enjoyed your excitement about reaching the top. It must have been a great feeling of accomplishment. The going back down part would have been the sweaty palms part for me.
I have a fear of heights and falling, so this was nerve-wracking for me, but I can't stop watching your videos! I love the GoPro and drone views. The scenery is amazing. I love your sense of adventure!
Oh Tristan what a climb! I know I could never do it but you make it look doable. Your excitement was evident. What a view! What a climb! Congratulations!
Great climb! Thanks for taking us along. Not for those who struggle with heights, but you did an excellent job of providing spectacular views.
Wow Tristan, just wow. Long time subscriber and I don't think I've ever heard you let out a "WOOOO!" like you did in this episode. And I have to say I felt that elation with you! I look forward to your videos every Saturday morning and have enjoyed watching your channel and the quality of content grow. You sir truly are one of the GOATs of this genre.
Yep, definitely TOO Dangerous (for me). Well done Tristan. Every time I think you might be softening you surprise me. The base of the cliff is on my bucket list.
wow that was amazing to watch. you are such a great climber and a brave soul. you earned a new subscriber.
Wow! Such an incredible climb. I worry about you being by yourself and falling. I hope you are carrying an emergency beacon. Stay safe!
Hell Yeah! I don't think people know how much being alone adds to the difficulty factor. Awesome climb.
going up is one thing, coming down is another
amazing that you did that, bravo!
thank you for filming and sharing that victory :)
Sounds like just the right combination of challenge, excitement and adrenaline, Tristan. Glad you made it through safely. I have hiked alone frequently in Italy and have found myself grateful for the skills to get to similar places. Sometimes I question my sanity, which I think is a good thing along with having the good sense, willi and humility to turn back at any point. 😉
That scared the bejeebers out of me just watching. Great video as always. Stay safe and have a happy and healthy New Year!
I’ve watched from the beginning of your channel, and this is one of the rare few that has made me hold my breath. So, I guess this one was ‘breathtaking’. WOW. Well done. Keep the amazing content coming- (including the Wyoming creek fishing)
What an awesome climb! and one that I will never ever attempt, my fear of heights would never let me LOL so happy you share these incredible videos with us :)
You are one courageous dude. I know you know went to turn back but I did not breathe until you reached the top.
Wow. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time. I would be so afraid that the rocks would slough off and I would go flying. I know that you know what you are doing, which is the only reason I can bear to watch it at all! I can imagine how satisfying it must be for you. Glad you had the opportunity to do it.
Wish I would have found more of these places before age got me. Keep climbing and making memories.
Congratulations Tristan! What an amazing day and memorialized in this beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing!
Congratulations on the climb, Tristan. I too gave out a whoop! when you reached the summit. 🙂 I am appreciative of your videos as I will likely never see such beautiful vistas with my own eyes. Thank yo for all you do.
My very first comment Tristan...That was amazing footage, well done bro. It was a thrilling ride...thankyou
I appreciate the comment! Thanks for watching.
Everyone has said it better than I could. But you are insane!!!!!!!
I’m so glad you made it back safely. The angles of your video (especially looking down), had me choking on my you know what’s!!!!!! Another great video, thank you!!!!
Been soaking up your content since being shown it by the algorithm about a week ago. Thank you so much for being such a trailblazer for us! Your cinematography, music & story telling are all so beautiful. What a climb! You have such a great level head but man just keep being safe out there! :)
Beautiful scenery, you are definitely bold and what an adventure. My age and lack of experience rock climbing would have me circling and looking upward. Thank you for the view, it's stunning. As a subscriber this video is worth a second viewing. Keep bringing this great country in focus, beautiful.
This literally made my hands sweaty as I watched…Don’t know which is more insane…you or the climb, alone and unroped. Glad you are safe!
It can't be done. Hold my energy bar ! 🎉😂 Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Amazing climb.
And I could feel your excitement when you reached the top!
Well done sir. Well done indeed. Loved every minute of it.
From the robbers cave to the ascent of a really gnarly cliff Wow! I caught myself holding my breath and then remembered like the previous comment observed- yes of course you made it up and back safely! Thanks for taking us along on this extraordinary adventure.
Excellent video and climb. You are one tough and sturdy guy. Getting down always seems more dangerous to me. So happy you are safe and able to post this video.
Congrats on the summit! Great hike/climb. You always find awesome spots. Glad you made it down.
As you were on your way up... that rock looked extremely loose... with crack and crevices that looked like they would come apart if you even breathed on them. Congratulations on your climb!
That was a good one that got us all excited... as I suppose you can tell by the flood of comments. Thanks for taking us along.
Oh man, that made me so nervous. Incredible off the chart. An intense experience for me just sitting here. Awesome awesome done shots. Congrats man!!!
What a fabulous adventure! Earlier today my wife and I watched the movie, Twister, for the umpteenth time and one of my favorite scenes is where Philip Seymour Hoffman drops to oe knee to sake the hand and pay extreme homage to his friend/mentor Bill Pullman. Hoffman takes Pullman’s hand to give it a shake and softly utters, “now a manly handshake ensues…”. In my mind it demonstrates “ultimate respect” and Brother Tristan, I drop down to one knee and figuratively shake your hand! After a lifetime in the military, I understand “respect” and as someone who spent a couple of decades doing my fair share of non-technical mountaineering in Hawaii, Northern California, Colorado, Virginia, Japan, Alaska and numerous areas throughout New England, I’m gushing some respect right now. I’m not certain if I’d made the summit, especially in a solo effort. Kudos and Atta-A-Boy’s and a tip of the ol’ Stetson hat. Maybe you need to get a T-Shirt that begs the question, “Got Adventure?” “Ol’ Scooter”, down in East Texas!
We want to keep you around, so be careful. Interested in how many were on the summit before you. Too bad no register up there.
Wow! I thought for sure you’d turn around! Kudos to you for accomplishing the climb. Happy 2024 Tristan!
Woooweeee. Getting up is one thing. It’s the going down that terrifies me. What a climb!
Wow! That aged me 10 yrs. The only way I got through it, was knowing you made it down to upload the vid. Fantastic as alway Tristan 👍
Wow 😮..amazing climbing and vision ..looks like a humongous petrified tree stump..
Awesome video !!!
From Australia 🦘🦘🦘
You are loaded with guts, and now lots of Glory ! You are amazing ‼️👍‼️
A little out of my comfort zone, but thanks for bringing us along. Drone footage as you were climbing was epic.
That was hard to watch! Obviously, you survived since there's a video... I do love your videos, you go places I never will, but darn if some of them aren't hard to watch!
What you found on the summit was clearly some kind of time capsule. Maybe dedicated to a marriage on a specific day, family members that died on a certain day, something like that. Would be interesting to know exactly what the time capsule was commemorating. Now that people know it's up there it would be really good vibes if someone went up there with a new waterproof capsule, dried out the contents in the sun, and repacked them. Clearly that capsule meant a lot to someone at some point in the past.
27:56 beautiful crepuscular rays!
Dude! You climbed that thing safely alone while narrating and shooting it with a camera, a GoPro, and a brand new drone! Plus you shared a lot of info about the place! Then you went home and edited and uploaded! Man! That’s amazing! I was really impressed. But your standards are so high that you kind of criticized yourself at the end for your time. I say you can only pick two: Safety, Speed, Shooting a video! 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your amazing hike. This is a great video! You’re really good at this. I watched until the end and then I liked, subscribed, and commented! I’ll share it with my hiking group tomorrow too!
I am so glad you showed the campsite at the end of the video, so I knew you made it down safely. Very enjoyable video.
My heart was in my throat! Had to stay with you until the end to make sure you made it down okay. Unbelievable! Great job!
Wow what a accomplishment. Congratulations.!!! I was actually holding my breath watching you climb. You remind me so much of my Son. He was very adventurous as yourself. He passed away at an early age of 35. I so enjoy all of adventures. Thank you for sharing & being so cautious. I'm sure your lovely wife appreciates that too. looking forward to your next one. Tater Tot
Enjoy watching you videos. You know enough to say “Walk away and live another day”
Congratulations Tristan! I can certainly appreciate your level of satisfaction with completing such a feat, but holy moly!! That was a nail-biter for many of us mortals. Haha. But amazing. Thanks for taking us with you. 😊
This is definitely an instance I'm happy to live vicariously through you with! I love that area of the state and have barely even scratched the surface out that way because of the remoteness, but props to you for completing something very few people have done! Personally, I found it really interesting that there was a 20 Peso bill in there. The image on the reverse side of the 20 Peso is a place I absolutely love called Monte Alban in Oaxaca, Mexico. I had the pleasure of visiting that site last summer and it's a really interesting set of ruins. I made sure to keep one of the bills when I came back as a memento of my trip out there because of how beautiful the depiction of the site is on the note. Always love a great Saturday morning episode from ya! Lookin' forward to the next one!
The loose-looking rock was what scared me the most. Impressive! Intense, indeed!
Congratulations! I was cheering for you!
What an amazing vista from the mountain top. Thank you so much. I think almost nowhere else in the world is there scenery like that.
I was holding my breath and relieved when you reached the top.
I could feel your excitement. Well done!
Beautiful big ephedra bush right there on that outcrop - makes great mildly stimulating tea.
My favorite part was you not falling! I hope Cassie gave you an earful!!! I would imagine the climb down was the most challenging. Very impressive climb and what a view!
Ahh, just character scratches 😁, rattle snake heaven in the summer, push your limits…..great video. ✋😎
Watching that video made my wife nervous and myself envious. Reminded me of my younger days hiking the backcountry peaks in Yellowstone. I know the GoPro made it look crazier than it actually was but it was still probably a pretty hairy hike. Good on you and thanks for sharing.
The jubilation in your voice was palpatable. Great job!
Thanks a lot. I hope you're happy. Most of your climb had me squirming in my recliner with a pretty strong need to use the bathroom! Great video! I was going to ask about the drone. I have the Mini 3 Pro. I thought the climb would have taken longer. Like you said 30 minute battery time. Actually, 32 or 33 minutes with a fresh charge. The canister with no register inside makes me think Geo Cache. If that's the case that's a really tough cache! Thanks again!
now at 19:38 or so and you made it to the top! Whahoo! But going down is harder and more dangerous. I’m going to take a coffee break before I continue watching in case you have film footage if that intimate descending. Wow! What a vid!🦌💌❤️☕️😵💫
What you found was a geocache, not a summit register. Geocaching used to be very popular, and there are some that can be found at the top of mountain peaks.
What a view😮 thank you for sharing and remain safe.
You made it down! Wow! Congrats on this dramatic hike & climb! 🦌💌❤️👍🙏☺️
1 I’m jealous. 2 incredible, beautiful. 3 freaks me out when you solo these type climbs. YDY, thanks.
Wow...wow....wow!!! Very impressive.u rock Tristian.most unique adventure.glad u are all safe.keepcoming .take care.!!!❤😊
The most obscure summit register I found was on top of an unnamed 12,000' peak in the John Muir Wilderness near Silver Pass. it was a small glass bottle and the previous entry was a few years before we did it.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now and I do believe this is one of the only times I’ve heard you “Whooo!” at the summit of a mountain. Great job!
I can’t believe you free soloed that! And what a view from up there!
Fantastic adventure you put in lots of effort so therefore you deservedly get rewarded definitely the best adventure yet
Regards Ian from England
Oh my goodness....!!!! That view is one I'd never get on my own..enjoy your adventures...
here at 14:00 into your vid and I’m getting vertigo as I lay in my recliner. I am hoping you abort the climb. Ive trekked in The Himalaya and know how rocks can dislodge. You are way out there ALONE tho might have cellular service but if you’re unconscious your wife won’t get a call.
Don’t do it! I’ll bet your viewers are in chorus saying, “Stop climbing that sucker!”
now I’ll continue watching and find out what happens. Obviously you didn’t die or we wouldn’t have this vid to watch.
Thanks so much for all your vids and my virtual hiking experiences now that I old and not able to walk much due to arthritis.
You are a talented climber, but wow, my nerves on edge watching you. So glad you were at your campsite. Lovely scenery.
Congratulations on the amazing climb! Very impressive. You have more guts than I have. I enjoyed your video. Thank you!
simply great !!! Congrats Tristan. Cheers vrom Germany 😊
Now Foresty Forest and Loui can come practice their new skills! Amazing!
When you zoomed in on the mountain, I just had to laugh. That is a scary peak! Epic drone shots!
"TATAU KNOB" Man what a great climb! Thank you for the great video footage your new drone works good and takes very good video pictures.
WOW! what a climb! While watching I was glad that I was watching a video that you had survived to post! I love your adventures and feel like I'm doing it vicariously! I'm loving the west desert...and gonna buy a T-shirt! Thanks so much! ATB!
