Hey Aaron, awesome film, thank you so much for sharing this with the community! I have aspirations of through biking the trail which lead me to this video. When I followed the link to the race info it looked like it dropped off in 2019. Is there still a community of racers out there? I'd love to give it a burn! Cheers

Hello, I am planning to do the Stone King tour club next year August. What month did you guys go? How elevate gain after shuttle drop off on average per day? Thank you in advance for any feedback and tips you can offer.
@9aaronjАй бұрын
We went in late August. Average day involved anywhere from 2,000-5,000 feet of elevation gain, not including the shuttles.

What an incredible experience you guys must have had. So you carried 3 or 4 days of food to the resupply and planned for 7 days or did you exceed the planned mileage? I hiked the JMT when I was 20 and now I've got this winter SHR bug in my late 40's. So psyched on this video, thanks for doing it. Would love to hear about how your logistic plan versus how reality played out.

why did you show 95% downhill, which poorly represents the 20,000 feet of elevation gained. I wish you would have shown the climbing instead. This is just my unsolicited Opinion.

No fires above certain elevations are allowed now. Law was written post hut construction, Keeps the snow/precip out better now as well.

Hey! Nice video, quick question, did you had trouble getting water? Thanks:)
@9aaronj2 жыл бұрын
For the most part, no. I think we only had 1 night where we couldn't find a campsite near a water source and had to melt snow. Easy to find streams and use our water bottle on a string technique to scoop water.

I somewhat disagree. I’ve always believed a cable failure is much more likely than a piston-caliper failure. Plus you will still have usage of the opposite brake (front or rear).

Love the fact that you will be fixing punctures in the pouring rain whilst being hunted by a bear or a mountain lion, well i wouldn't but you get my drift off

This is kinda weird, I skied a route from Whitney to Rock Creek in 2019 with my friends! April 15th to April 29th! This is pretty weird, because the weather window wasn't that big and the weather was stormy before we went and stormy after, so we had to have been close? We also deviated significantly from the Roper route, and stayed higher, more like a red line or Moynier influenced route. We didn't see anyone except for a few doing smaller loops in the directions. Would love to chat more about your trip, can't wait to finish the video!
