I used to be a puker. I was told it was my expelling water because my PH was off dramatically. Started taking salt tablets to balance that out, seems to be effective.
Hi. Sorry about the difficulties you both experienced. Just glad you made it back without any serious physical injuries. I really like your channel and the way you film and narrate. I'm impressed with how you worked through all the challenges and finished. God Bless for your safety and comfort.
Hahaha! I mean, my deepest sympathy! Oh how this reminds me of our first time doing R2R2R. We started out with a 12 hour goal, finished in 17+ in a snowstorm, got back to Grand Canyon Village, and ate frozen burritos at the liquor store because nothing else was open anywhere.
I just finished Bright Angel to North Rim to Bright Angel last Friday. I appreciate the video and it's honesty. I didn't hurl, but had nausea much of the day. Epic!!!
I did Bright Angel Trailhead rim to the river (pipe beach) yesterday here in mid March, and back up bright Angel to the rim. It about kilked me. My knee started hurting about 4 miles in/down and got worse and worse. I made through inching along the final miles. Seemed to go on forever. I learned something about myself though yesterday, i’m one out of shape fat bastard. You guys are amazing and just trying a rim to rim to rim is insane. I was thinking about you and your channel yesterday trying to find inspiration and dig deep for purchase. Kudos to you guys for doing amazing things and posting amazing videos.
I think "people do it all the time" is a bit of an overstatement, I don't know how many people do it all in one day or actually do rim to rim to rim at all. Single rim to rim in a day is not even THAT common, although obviously you guys did that without too much trouble. I guess it depends what circles you're in though. I'm sure a decent number of ultra runners have done it, but in terms of absolute numbers I doubt more than like 10-20 people do a one shot r2r2r in any given year. Blown away that you managed this at all, but makes me feel a little less bad about myself that it at least was hard.
twice a year (once in early May and once in October) people attempt/complete the R2R2R. THe first year I did it there were about 20 people starting about the same time I did. The second time I did it therrre was a group of ultra runners that crushed it in about 10-12 hours. May/OCtober are optimal because there is typically little/no snow and temperatures are less brutal.
I had a similar experience in the canyon...all the puking. Common theme for me. I get called "Danny" by my running friends. Still trying to get it figured out but it's always nice to know I'm in good company.
Wonderful share! Your r2r2r achievement was amazing! Seriously, that was quite impressive! That said, to significantly reduce and hopefully avoid future issues of liver-related dehydration (and depleted potassium and electrolyte storage) which is probably what you were experiencing as evident by the severe vomiting on the return leg of your hike, you might want to do some research on the benefits of eating fresh fruits, celery, coconut water, melon, lemon water, and other immediate, bio-available, hydrators to acquire and maintain the correct type of hydration and fuel for your liver as a regular part of your day to day diet. Be safe!
My brother always likes to say: "Mineralization before hydration." Meaning get 'em before you even start hiking/running. I'd be eating a lot of bananas and apples in the days leading up to something like this. If you get "low" you can drink all the water you want and it's not really going to help you.
Great advice. I have not found in a lifetime of outdoor adventuring that there is a better way to stay properly mineralized and hydrated during severe physical effort than to eat and drink fruits and vegetables in various forms, both solid and liquid. Just my personal experience; no "one size fits all," I know.
Frank, we saw your post on this R2R2R video and thought you might like our recent attempt at this goal..... If you watch this, bear in mind we would not consider ourselves ultra runners. ruclips.net/video/9hMyVv7ag_E/видео.html
Dan, thanks for the trail maintenance. We saw your post on this R2R2R video and thought you might like our recent attempt at this goal..... If you watch this, bear in mind we would not consider ourselves ultra runners. ruclips.net/video/9hMyVv7ag_E/видео.html
You guys are a trip, so many incredible feats! I assume that these are mostly weekend trips, and I always picture you back at work Monday morning and life goes on. You put the Warrior into Weekend Warrior!
6:30 When you feel like this (cottonmouth no matter how much water you drink) my experience has shown me that it's time to load up on electrolytes! I like bringing one of those 99¢ table salt dispensers but thats just me.
Danny! I just did this hike the last few days! Looks like I was there a couple days after you. It was beautiful! You go hard! We did it over 4 days total. I love you on News AF and often listen to you on runs/hikes. I had no idea you went so hard with this stuff. I can’t wait to check out the rest of the videos.
OH MAN! I did it in reverse of your direction three years ago and I fee like I still haven't recovered! I don't know why the R2R2R is so brutal like you said, but for some reason (probably the heat/sun) it really decimates the body.
I did the rim to rim with my father and uncle when I was 9 years old. We camped by Phantom Ranch before we went up the south rim the next day. A friend of my uncle drove from the north rim to the south rim to pick us up. This was in 1964 and the guy who drove agreed to do the drive because he wanted to spend a day in Glen Canyon before it was filled up with water. In retrospect we should have gone to Glen Canyon. We could have done a rim to rim anytime, but Glen Canyon is gone forever.
It's fantastic running in the treed area going east on the south rim before and after Kaibab trailhead. Like firmly packed talcum powder, with no underbrush and totally free jumps over downed trees - like floating - you're running but there's no impact. Instead, the soles of your feet are massaged as if by a wizard Tibetan podiatrist / therapist.
Such an interesting and appropriately titled video! You guys are so strong, smart, and dumb! That's dedication to show yourself throwing up! You're right, though, one was enough. We didn't need to see the others. Yes, you took the wrong trail up. Now you know. I hope your next video of the Grand Canyon will be more about the canyon and less about suffering. (That's wishing you well, not complaining.) Thanks for the video!
Did it twice before, one time with backpack in the winter(Christmas) in two hand half days. Second time in 15 hours in April. I think weather is the key, find a cool or light raining day it’s going to be much easier.
Went on a rim to rim using Kaibab and Bright Angel and an overnight at the Ranch as a 60 yo. Was at least 20 pounds too heavy, so the downhill was a disaster on my quads. Uphill was slow due to cardio but better. Also kept up the sugar high on the way back.
Bravo 👏🏽 Both & Thank God You Both Are Alive. What A Story To Tell & Live!😲😲🙀😱. The last Fella looks so thin & unhealthy I hope 🤞 that your Both Ok 👍🏼.
I stumbled upon this because 5 of us are doing a rim to rim to rim this upcoming May ... difference is that we are hiking it over a period of 2 days, staying at each rim at a hotel. After my share of adventure mishaps in the past, it is usually from poor planning, which is really the only thing that caused this rim to rim to rim run to go wrong. Hydration (1 - 1.5 liters carrying in lightweight smart bottles - you got that right in the front strap pockets), electrolyte packs, fast simple powdered carbs, UL 3 liter backpack, buff to wet for cooling, light brimmed hat, sunglasses, a headlamp, sunscreen, cellphone for the camera and video, Garmin inreach for satelite communication that is seamless with cell phones, and a lightweight 3 liter backpack are all a marathoner needs. Plenty of purified water sources along the way to fill the bottles in each front pocket shoulder strap. You just have to remember where they are - Manzilla, Cotttonwood, Phantom Ranch, several places along Bright Angel Trail, and Grand Canyon South Rim Village are the water sources. No water on South Kaibab, but no need if descending. Getting from Bright Angel trailhead at south rim over to South Kaibab trailhead on south rim is easy with shuttles during the day. We leave before sunrise, so we will have to get a ride from a nice hotel clerk person or walk it; so we chose most eastern hotel on south rim. And getting an early start before the sun comes up so that time well below the rim is avoided between 11 AM and 3 PM. Temps can increase 5 degrees with each 1000 feet elevation loss at this place. Cooling off with not just drinking cold water, but immersing and then using a wet buff, will be important. Still, you guys battled, even though you put yourselves behind the eight ball early and often.
A buddy of mine nearly died to the R to R to R. Luckily he was found by a group of day hikers on a church outing that carried him out. It is not even remotely casual.
I threw up a few times on a short hike there,but made sure I had loads of electrolytes and food when I attempted the r to r to r this August.Succeeded in the heat,but suffered due to ill fitting shoes,so I’ll be doing the hike/run again with better footwear,and slashing a chunk of time off 👍
What was your total time? R2R2R is brutal no matter what. We did it last November and are planning it again in March. Something about the canyon is different - where the only way out is up. Mountains at least you can turn back and typically it gets easier.
Hey, I've been following you guys for a couple years now. I now live right outside of Zion. If you are ever in the area and wanting to go on a trail run (shorter 5-10 miles), I'd love to run with you guys.
Tony, we saw your post on this R2R2R video and thought you might like our recent attempt at this goal..... If you watch this, bear in mind we would not consider ourselves ultra runners. ruclips.net/video/9hMyVv7ag_E/видео.html
When I hiked up the Bright Angel, it kicked my ass. Warm at the bottom, blowing snow sideways toward the top, I was getting hypothermic. This was last November...
John Ganshow Bright Angel is a beast no matter what, especially if you are coming from North Rim. Did just the R2R (just, lol) in May, was the hardest thing I’ve ever done physically but also incredibly rewarding. Last three miles are the hardest, no doubt! R2R2R I can’t even imagine.
Danny, your channel literally motivated me to go out there and start hiking. I did the Bright Angel to South KABOB (lol) trail the other day in 7 hours and 43 minutes. First ever hiking experience, unbelievably sore as I clocked in 24 miles. I will also say is that Grand Canyon national park has some of the worst directions. I got absolutely lost when I was at the top trying to find the trail heads and shuttles to get back to my car! VERY STUPID!
@@phin422 Haha yeah I like to challenge myself and sometimes I go overboard. I'm in great shape, thankfully, but I was sore for a good week after hiking that trail. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Just don't try running it like I did haha
"52 miles and 12,000 feet of climbing and Idk why but it was just really hard" LMAO.
“Hope Danny is okay” cuts to Danny puking 😂😂 love it guys
"Leave any man who inconveniences you behind" may be a good t shirt slogan.
Tell that to a marine.
I used to be a puker. I was told it was my expelling water because my PH was off dramatically. Started taking salt tablets to balance that out, seems to be effective.
Its a good indication of heat stroke too, the only times i puke are when I get baked with no shade.
What a sufferfest. Blake’s wake up was epic. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏻
Love your videos. Would love to hike that trail, but I'd absolutely have to do it over several days. You all are ANIMALS. Thanks for sharing.
NO HUMILITY......THE CANYON punishes those who show no GRACE......NO Prep, NO poz attitude
Have watched this more than six times and it makes me laugh so hard. Thanks for your honest channel
I learned that hard way not to watch this while eating vegetable soup ...
I've been watching a few shows and really enjoyed them.
But what's up with running to the point of puking all the time!?
This ain't no competition
Thanks for documenting the hardship as well. These days happen. You guys are amazing and a total inspiration.
Thx for the run along guys. Admire your youthful tenacity! Nice way to get a glimpse of the bottom and surrounding canyon beauty! Stay safe.
Both of you are awesome, smart call on the knee 👍🏽 next year it still be there 👣👣👣👣👣👣🏔
"People less fit than me do it all the time." NO WAY!!!
Hi.
Sorry about the difficulties you both experienced. Just glad you made it back without any serious physical injuries.
I really like your channel and the way you film and narrate.
I'm impressed with how you worked through all the challenges and finished.
God Bless for your safety and comfort.
Hahaha! I mean, my deepest sympathy! Oh how this reminds me of our first time doing R2R2R. We started out with a 12 hour goal, finished in 17+ in a snowstorm, got back to Grand Canyon Village, and ate frozen burritos at the liquor store because nothing else was open anywhere.
Ha I remember visiting there years ago. I remember signs saying, "do not attempt to go to the river and back in 1 day." lol
Ha! Signs are still there. I read every single one on the way up Bright Angle and down South Kaibab.
I just finished Bright Angel to North Rim to Bright Angel last Friday. I appreciate the video and it's honesty. I didn't hurl, but had nausea much of the day. Epic!!!
Was the Blizz sleeping to an audio recording of your soothing voice in the van??
I did Bright Angel Trailhead rim to the river (pipe beach) yesterday here in mid March, and back up bright Angel to the rim. It about kilked me. My knee started hurting about 4 miles in/down and got worse and worse. I made through inching along the final miles. Seemed to go on forever.

I was thinking about you and your channel yesterday trying to find inspiration and dig deep for purchase. Kudos to you guys for doing amazing things and posting amazing videos.
Hats off to your somewhat successful challenge. I struggled getting back up Bright Angel after going down South Kaibab, and I was only hiking!
Exact same vomiting experience I had with triple R! Glad you both made it out alive.
I have done R2R2R twice (and almost another time). It is brutal no matter how good you are. Great job and great video like always.
What's the problem , did it first time at age 11, bro 9 ,w/ dad 46.
S rim to N rim .

Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Nice spew and camera work to capture it. Would like to do this some day (r2r2r, not spew in the Grand Canyon).
The important thing is that you both had fun in the outdoors!
Is that what is was? I'm just really glad they made it out.
Frank, we saw your post on this R2R2R video and thought you might like our recent attempt at this goal..... If you watch this, bear in mind we would not consider ourselves ultra runners. ruclips.net/video/9hMyVv7ag_E/видео.html
Congrats to both of you. I am doing r2r2r in mid summer so I am both excited and nervous. Heat + miles + elevation is a killer
I’m giving this a shot R2R2R next week (August 23rd). I’m nervous about it too! Keep us posted on how it went or goes.
My best time was just under 10, but never really had the desire to push it too hard....Its the Canyon, enjoy it
Recently ran R2R2R2 with some great friends and had a similar experience. The puking is a real thing! Glad to know I wasn’t the only one 😆
You guys rock! My favorite youtube video all week!
my uncle did these runs until he was 80 . mill that over for a bit. he was a beast . we miss you uncle Bob. ( Benny Linkhart )
Both these trails on the south side are amazing.
At 6:25.... 😍 baby 🦌... SO cute, I guess they’re not afraid of humans anymore since GC is invaded by them. Cool hike 👍
Helped maintain the north kaibab trail a few years back. As soon as Blake mentioned a blister I thought, no way he makes it.
Dan, thanks for the trail maintenance. We saw your post on this R2R2R video and thought you might like our recent attempt at this goal..... If you watch this, bear in mind we would not consider ourselves ultra runners. ruclips.net/video/9hMyVv7ag_E/видео.html

Well done guys, next time I want to see Blake puke of exhaustion 🏔😨
Roger Pettersson If I puke I promise to film it. You have my word. I have an iron stomach so don't hold your breathe
Danny! I just did this hike the last few days! Looks like I was there a couple days after you. It was beautiful! You go hard! We did it over 4 days total. I love you on News AF and often listen to you on runs/hikes. I had no idea you went so hard with this stuff. I can’t wait to check out the rest of the videos.
Also didn’t do close to that length. You’re a bad ass!
Thanks! It's an impressive accomplishment no matter how long it takes.
I think Blake looks to be more a diarrhea kind of guy. Sort of balances out the puker in the team.
BLIZZ NATION rocking that burrito 🌯! Awesome
You survived and learned something. Looking good at the end for the long day.
OH MAN! I did it in reverse of your direction three years ago and I fee like I still haven't recovered! I don't know why the R2R2R is so brutal like you said, but for some reason (probably the heat/sun) it really decimates the body.
Do it in early/mid December. Cold at the top, but nice fall like weather at the bottom. Barely need as much hydration as a hotter month.
I did the rim to rim with my father and uncle when I was 9 years old. We camped by Phantom Ranch before we went up the south rim the next day.

thank you for not recording the 9 other puke sessions. I should not have been eating jello while watching this. lol
Great decision to turn back. Take care.
Did it twice before, one time with backpack in the winter(Christmas) in two hand half days. Second time in 15 hours in April. I think weather is the key, find a cool or light raining day it’s going to be much easier.
Interesting video. I did R2R2R from South Rim in 12 hrs 10 min in November. Good weather that time of year.
Danny- what a great job at embodying the man puking sign. Later you looked like Iggy after a Jesus moment!
Our running club in Orem. ( Sojourners) used to run rim to rim every year. Don't know if they still do it. Congrats you guys!
This is awesome! And I laugh a little because in all my double crossings I've had a few where I'm right there on the struggle-bus with you! Well done!
Just looking at the difference in your face from 2:00 to 9:20 is INSANE.
Went on a rim to rim using Kaibab and Bright Angel and an overnight at the Ranch as a 60 yo. Was at least 20 pounds too heavy, so the downhill was a disaster on my quads. Uphill was slow due to cardio but better. Also kept up the sugar high on the way back.
GREAT video! Did this in October 2018. It is every bit as stomach turning as you show. :)
Bravo 👏🏽 Both & Thank God You Both Are Alive. What A Story To Tell & Live!😲😲🙀😱. The last Fella looks so thin & unhealthy I hope 🤞 that your Both Ok 👍🏼.
love the name of your channel
The sense of humor is keeping me in...nice videos guys!
Leave any man who inconveniences you behind X). That's why I'm solo
The Canyon gets soooo hot! Great video
Congrats to both of you , life is made of experiences.

Awesome footage...I'm hoping to do r2r2r in May. Let me know if you want to go again. You guys rock!
Love your videos guys.
How tf do you manage to do it that quick. Absolutely crazy!
Legendary. Thanks so much for sharing
You guys are wild! Good video!
Danny lost on the TOP of the south rim. Classic.Dude, not enough water or electrolytes. You guys know better, yeah?
A buddy of mine nearly died to the R to R to R. Luckily he was found by a group of day hikers on a church outing that carried him out. It is not even remotely casual.
Absolutely brutal. Great adventure.
I threw up a few times on a short hike there,but made sure I had loads of electrolytes and food when I attempted the r to r to r this August.Succeeded in the heat,but suffered due to ill fitting shoes,so I’ll be doing the hike/run again with better footwear,and slashing a chunk of time off 👍
We did R2R2R first weekend in March and top 1.5 miles of canyon was covered in snow and ice. What time of year was this and how long did it take you?
Y'all should come do Hells Canyon! It's the deepest river gorge in North America at 7993ft.
Crazy dude! Should come do a trip on the CO trail!
What was your total time? R2R2R is brutal no matter what. We did it last November and are planning it again in March. Something about the canyon is different - where the only way out is up. Mountains at least you can turn back and typically it gets easier.
How long did it take you to run to phantom ranch from north ranch
This video turned up in my youtube and now I'm hooked
Hey, I've been following you guys for a couple years now. I now live right outside of Zion. If you are ever in the area and wanting to go on a trail run (shorter 5-10 miles), I'd love to run with you guys.
Nicholas Muzik Awesome. Thanks for watching. Hopefully we can get down there this spring
I'll be here. If you ever want to do the Zion Traverse (aka Trans-Zion Trail), let me know haha. It's quite the bucket list item.
Just curious on what the idea is behind the extra tall socks. Not hating by any means just curious
It's common for people hiking the canyon to wear tall socks so you don't get sand in your socks through some of the sandy sections.
Really enjoy you videos, question, what hiki app do you guys use?
Simply awesome
The important thing is that Blake had his burrito at the end.
Holy smokes I'm glad you didnt die! The heat was no joke I'm sure! How much water did you carry? I assume you refilled also.
1 hr 7 mile descent wtf but this is inpiring
Only went to the West rim. Would hike in the red rock canyon. Not able to hike in the Grand Canyon. Not in shape now. Painful knees.
Bright Angel is beautiful. I want to revisit it
What day of the year did you do this?
Hay, that guy is the new Elmer Fudd!
Please do this again. I'm thinking of attempting it someday.
So awesome. Going to do this 2020
Tony, we saw your post on this R2R2R video and thought you might like our recent attempt at this goal..... If you watch this, bear in mind we would not consider ourselves ultra runners. ruclips.net/video/9hMyVv7ag_E/видео.html
Unbelievable what you guys accomplish in every video. Much respect!
The Bliz is a legend
When I hiked up the Bright Angel, it kicked my ass. Warm at the bottom, blowing snow sideways toward the top, I was getting hypothermic. This was last November...
It kicked mine as well.
John Ganshow Bright Angel is a beast no matter what, especially if you are coming from North Rim. Did just the R2R (just, lol) in May, was the hardest thing I’ve ever done physically but also incredibly rewarding. Last three miles are the hardest, no doubt! R2R2R I can’t even imagine.
Thank you for sharing
I felt exhausted both rim to rim and "south kaibab down bright angel up" in one day..... rim to rim to rim is completely beyond my capability
Danny, your channel literally motivated me to go out there and start hiking. I did the Bright Angel to South KABOB (lol) trail the other day in 7 hours and 43 minutes. First ever hiking experience, unbelievably sore as I clocked in 24 miles.
I will also say is that Grand Canyon national park has some of the worst directions. I got absolutely lost when I was at the top trying to find the trail heads and shuttles to get back to my car! VERY STUPID!
Your first ever hiking experience was a 24 mile in the Grand Canyon that you did at about 3 mph? Damn.
@@phin422 Haha yeah I like to challenge myself and sometimes I go overboard. I'm in great shape, thankfully, but I was sore for a good week after hiking that trail. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Just don't try running it like I did haha
Danny, why is it you get sick so much? Have you gotten checked? Worried about you.
You guys are beasts!
Good call Blake. The last 3 mile section up Bright Angel SUCKS. LOL
such is the pain the inhabitants of arizona must endure
