Hello! May i ask that blue backpack is that Ortovox traverse 30?

Incredible 🏞🌤

Aweome vid Wil! what were you using to record on this trip?

Thanks for the video guys - what softshells you got on?

what are the loops in the rope for?

Nice! Which camera do you have on your shoulder strap? And which connector do you use on the strap?

Why wouldn't you just take the tram up?

Yuuuuuuuuuuge🐐!

great video! Love Katahdin!

I left because of the terrible music. I will recommend one of the quieter videos here on KZbin with great panoramas. Don't waste your time on this one.

Telos Lake! Summer '72, did that trip. Had to crawl along the Knife-edge, as the winds were so high. Great trip, though. Would've loved to have done it in the winter. Nice video.

Outstanding video, thank you

Nice video. Than,s for showing how to have fun, accurately access the conditions and not end up a rescue. Katadin is no joke.

You call a two night ski to a cabin an "expedition"? It seems that word has been significantly dumbed down in this modern age of ease and convenience.

Now try the North Cascades in winter.

Katahdin is no joke in the wintertime. Those NorthEast Mountains although relatively small get some of the world’s worst weather conditions, especially the presidentials .

Your video was truly beautiful and inspiring. As a fellow creator, I appreciate the effort you put into it. Sub and 👍360

This is other worldly

Awesome. What kind of skis were you using for that hike?

nice video. good call on the summit

Nice little video guys. Well done.

This is awesome

Looks like a great experience! I've only been to baxter in the summer months, but the winter looks so exciting

Love it there. Would love to go in the winter. Thanks for sharing

Very cool! I did this trip about 13 years ago! What a time it was! We did Hamlin and Baxter in insane cold!! Great video! I can't wait to get back there

Awesome, Ive been up ther on summit 4 times, never in winter though, was thinking of how nutty it would be to cross the knifes edge in the winter I lack the rope and harness experience, Salute from NH

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

16 miles on a winter trip into base camp is definitely way beyond my comfort zone😅😅. I’m a 2-3 mile snowshoe in, set up camp, and hike around for a couple days from there. It looks like you guys had fun though.

So, um....where was the blizzard?

Awesome video, I was at Roaring Brook last summer and fall, I’d love to see it in the winter but I’m getting too old to do that 16 mile hike.

Thank you. I've done such trips and found your video much more realistic than many I've seen. Glad you turned around or I would have seen you on one of those disaster videos. I felt like I was there. Thanks again.

Maybe see "Lost on a Mountain in Maine". amazing true story about a kid lost on Katahdin in the 1930's

I did that abol bridge to roaring brook ski a couple years ago. I knew early on when you thought you were halfway you weren't even close haha. I made the same mistake.

Thanks for sharing your adventure! Nice edit

Great video. Good pics of the climb and effort. Great shot the cloud layers above and below you. I'm not a climber, just a hiker, is that official Ice Climbing music in the background?

Dudes. Rookie mistake with the sled ropes..run the rope thru some conduit, long enough so you won’t get run over by your sled on the downhills…

Great trip up at Baxter even without the summit.

I spent a week there in 2017 - our objective was Cilley-Barber, but due to a high avy warning, we decided on some WI4+ routes on Pamola. Man, what an absolute majestic place Chimney Pond is. The east coast is so fortunate to have a place like Katahdin. Great video, glad you guys were able to get up there; it's definitely a grind.

On December 28th, 1979, with 4 friends we climbed up Pamola, across the KnifeEdge and reached the summit in a blinding whiteout at 2pm. The plan was to follow along the east face down to the Saddle trail. We got disoriented and headed to far northwest. TBH it was really grim as it was going be dark in an hour. After taking a compass bearing we (myself and my late friend Ken Hokenson who 4 years later tragically died on Mt.Washington NH)) corrected our path and came out of the clouds right at the Saddle junction. Got back to Chimney Pond at 7pm. I've climbed some big mountains around the world since this trip and have had other close calls- Mt Katahdin was the first one for sure.

Damn son, you wild!

Hey buddy, what boots did you used on the climb?

The clip in the ski lift and after your friend has something on his noose what is it?

Well done lads epic..............

Free soloed it 35 years ago. Ice was thinner.

i appreciate your bro's honesty about the pitch being scarier to lead than he thought, great work guys hitting huntington this season again or heading over to franconia notch?

good work dudes. I did blanc and matterhorn a couple days apart in early August

What an awesome video! I solo'd the Matterhorn August of 2024 and this brings back so many memories. Thank you for not skipping the descent, which for me, was absolutely the most terrifying part. Great job!

Great video and great climb! Well done! One day I hope to make it to the Matterhorn. Question: why did you guys rope up together on the rock/via ferratta section? That seems more dangerous to me.

Incredible video, hopefully I'll build up to do the same in a couple years! In the mean time I'm aiming for Triglav then Mont Blanc this coming year, wish me luck! Oh and I was wondering what backpacks you guys use? - thinking of getting the ortovox trade 35 or 28 and looks like that might be what you guys are using?

Amazing ! 🙂
