why would anyone go long-distance hiking in winter? what is the fun in that? Winter hiking should be 2-3 hours long and finish at a country pub with a blazing fire and transport home

Jim Kanzler was my first climbing instructor back in the 70's. Pat Callis and Terry Kennedy were early mentors of mine and taught me many lessons that kept me alive and safe in the mountains and crags. Thanks for posting this, I remember when it happened and it was devastating for the Bozeman , climbing community.

Great story! But at 4:30 it shows them on the ropes...but the ropes are already connected somehow up above them. How do the ropes get connected up above the climbers? Dont they have to climb up there to connect the rope to the rock with a gadget? So how did the ropes get connected way up above them? Are they reusing other ropes people left behind? If so that sounds risky as what if the rope is rotten from hanging there who knows how long?

I would think part of the problem is in their eyes they did have the proper equiptment. Even if they didnt. The "lack of experience" probably greatly affects the "proper equiptment" part.

I enjoyed listening to this. Never saw a mountain in my whole life so never knew that avalances are more common in summer. But those wilderness areas are not Disneyland. Those places need to be taken seriously. And dont try to take selfies with the bison at Yellowstone. But my point is, wether its climbing some mountain like in this story or going to visit a place like Yellowstone people have to understand these places are DANGEROUS! unfortunately too many do not understand that.

OMG, Mount Temple was one of most memorable hikes I had. The weather was perfect, just a little snowcap on top, but it is a strenuous hike, with sliding stones increasing the effort. One persistent issue in such situations is knowing when to stop. Once in student days, I advised my group to turn back because of wind and fog. On Temple hike, in my group of three, one person decided to wait on the pass below, doing a little more than you are able to can be fatal. At least one experienced hiker should be present if this was an organized camp (and in general),

I climbed temple in mid September 2001. From the morraine lake parking lot up to larch valley, then on to sentinel pass tha t you see in this video at 13:10. From there, its straight up through some choppy rock to the summit range. Once you've gained the ridge, it's a straightforward slog to the top. Failed on first attempt due to howling winds on the summit ridge. On second attempt the following week, it was 6 hours up and 2 hours down. No need of ropes, just a big slog.

I read about this horrible incident a long time ago. I can understand the desire to reach the top but not doing proper planning and putting those young lives at risk is so ridiculous. I’ve done the hike to Sentinel Pass a couple times. Carrying on to the summit looks pretty daunting. Wish I had tried doing it when I was much younger. The view from there looks amazing.

Is it difficult for Sentinel Pass? I just hiked Rockpile and Consolation Trail at Moraine Lake in October. It was very cold, I could not go further.
@mako88sb10 күн бұрын
@@realchinese2012 Compared to Consolation Trail, it’s about twice the distance and 3X’s the elevation gain. Not sure if that helps? If you’ve done the Ink Pots hike, compared to Sentinel, about the same distance but 250m approximately less elevation gain. Technically not difficult but the final part with the switchbacks does look imposing. When my wife first saw it, she said no way she could make that. However, while we were eating lunch, she watched the hikers on the switchbacks through the binoculars and decided she could do it. I should mention we had perfect conditions both times in mid September. No snow at all. Of course there are KZbin videos about Sentinel Trail that should give you some idea about difficulty.

@@realchinese2012 Np. The Ink Pots would definitely be a good start to the hiking season. Not sure if you’re familiar with the Ptarmigan Cirque trail in Kananaskis? That would also be a good one. A bit steep at the beginning but it’s relatively short and has beautiful views. Another one I highly recommend is the Plains of the Six Glaciers that starts at Lake Louise. A bit longer than Sentinel Pass but not as much elevation gain and you get a fantastic view of Lake Louise and the Chateau. I was in my early 60’s when I did Sentinel Pass so I know what you mean. I’m still good slogging upwards but it’s the downhill portions that seem to do a number on my lower legs.
