Awesome scramble! Fun video. I appreciate the effort in calling out the surrounding summits, However, you should check your math, you're 0 for 5 on the summits. You nailed Mt Crested Butte though :)

I’m guessing the difficulty of the giant slab is similar to that of the 2nd Flatiron in Boulder?

Cool looking scramble. My son and I were climbing up Mt Saint Helens in Washington last week and did the scramble through the boulder field on way to the rim. We didn’t think about helmets because I didn’t look that steep. Sure enough a rock was pulled loose above us and zoomed right past him! Now anytime we have people above our line we stick them on. Better safe than sorry…

Thank you so much for making this video! Your production and shots are out of this world and not to mention incredibly informative. After watching your video, my partner and I were planning on doing Kendall peak coming up this October, or at least hike up to silver lake. We really want to try to summit Kendall peak though. I was wondering if there was any specific trail you followed that you would recommend? like those image clips you show in the video marking your progress on the trail map like where it says ‘old mines’ or ‘ghost mining town’. We are pretty experienced hikers and especially love the San Juans. But it seems like such a seldom travelled trail that there’s not too much info about the actual trail to get to Kendall peak. We were mostly concerned with how the terrain is once you start to head towards the summit. It didn’t look very strenuous in your video, but things can be deceiving. Thank you once again, from one nature lover to another. I know it’s a long shot, but any insight is appreciated.
@KarlDeckerPresents
@KarlDeckerPresents 9 күн бұрын
Getting to Silver lake was pretty straight forward and from there I saw an old very steep mining road angling up to climbers left. I took that to the last collapsed mining cabin past several mines. Then it was a loose sidehill off trail climb to the saddle, the worst part. . . up onto the steep stepped ridge line toward the summit and finally across the rolling narrow but safe summit ridge to the summit proper,. Good Luck, definitely doable, short class 4 step on the ridge. . . Cheers!

This is a surprise area for me as I have not been in any of the Holy Cross W. other than lake Constantine and doing a cross country leg straight up from there to the Halo route section. This area you visit is simply gorgeous and certainly unexpected. Of course your excellent choice of filming variations and quality makes the adventure for us armchair visitors drooling. I loved the details and certainly added time well spent elements in having worked in some trick videography and the land of mushroom segment. Hope you weren't the one chomping on some of those that looked partially eaten. Did you happen to have the thought of being high in multiple ways? :). Great route taking up Fools and looks like you had a great time and a great find. Thanks for the idea. May have to hit that area up next year. Best!
