One of my favourite trips 😍🥰

Great video. I've summited Gannett and The Grand in the Teton range and Gannett is by far the harder trip. It's the hike in with a big pack that makes it tough.

This is so beautiful

Perfect climb without all the work! Thank you! (Just can't figure out why you guys weren't roped up leaving the top. A short slide off to the left, then instant 200' vertical drop.)

4:59 - 5:31 this is an extremely important argument. obviously catra intended to hurt adora, but not to leave permanent pain or scars. she-ra is a self-healing being, even though that ability had not been unlocked until s3. if a claw scratch (which i get minor ones all the time as an owner and they don't even hurt much) is enough to take her down, then catra never would've had to work hard to lead the horde to victory in the first place. after all, she said herself ominously right before princess prom -(literally the greenish screenshot shown about 20 seconds after the mark)- that the best way to get to adora is from the heart, i.e. all the emotional ways they fought, such as the confrontation in *"promise" when adora was hanging off the cliff and catra left her (not to die, knowingly).

Awesome trip guys, well done!! Really impressive footage of Mt. Columbia, Alberta, the Twins, and the icefields in general. Congratulations on the summit.

Just found your channel, despite having no interest in mountaineer (I'll stick to valleys for now!) I am really enjoying your commentary, and my bf and I get a kick out of your snark! Planning a GDT section hike next year, and really like the Sat and weather resources you listed!

I find it funny I got recommended this as I am going to apply for a masters in either physics or applied math at uWaterloo. And I just started watching mountain climbing videos lol.

How did you find your route on this? Did you use a guidebook? Because I can’t find any routes anywhere and the only book no longer exists. Great video though!!

Holy cats! You had really challenging conditions on your attempt as well as your summit! … or I got lucky in our timing. We didn’t have the high water, nor serac navigation issues. Well done getting to the summit, and I like your reflection on the ascent and climbing in general. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHPVoqdsqsSngqssi=CPBh6zXbI4ITV-Li

That’s a marathon session. You young guys like the misery. Thanks for the video. I did Northover Ridge loop September 16 and it was pretty much dry all the way around. I’d like to do Joffre some day in the near future.

Pedal to the metal as usual. Enjoyed it and thx for making the effort to film and post. Hitting Baker and Shuksan in a few weeks.

tried it on 2003 and lost all the time navigating the broken glacier. In 2016, took an extra day, marked a passage on the climbers right hand. Still got into a storm and whiteout but summitted. You will need a snowy season.

Thank you!

11982 feet high. I still have it memorized. The only one that I climbed that was high was Mt Columbia. And it was just over 12000 feet. Mt Forbes was more technical and just as exhausting. Good video. Thanks for bringing back the memories. Keep up the climbing. Family life stopped it for me. My wife and I raised 7 kids. They all got to learn a Little Rock climbing and even today are looking and booking out outdoor trips.

What a great Mountain. I climbed it back in 1987 with The Alpine Club of Canada. It rained the first day of the August long weekend so we camped Early and were now behind a day. The next Dey got to that area above the main ice field. And again went to bed early. The final day got up at 5 and got to the summit around 7:30 8 AM. We hiked back to camp packed up tents and hiked all the way out. Got to the parking lot at 2 AM drive home at 6. Got ready to work and even worked a long day. Nuts. Absolutely Nuts. That hike out from the summit was 35 km. Wow wish that young again.

You guys will be great for the manned mission on Mars 👣

What was the date you did this? Trying to get an idea of snow conditions relative to time of year. Thank you!

Hi I am looking at going on a two day hike in late June in the Canadian Rockies I’m pretty new to hiking but am a very active and fit person, I’m looking for somewhere fairly secluded so I can have my dog off leash I am willing to go off-roading to get there. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks

Gotta go there. THX for posting all the glacial footie

I was high when I was watching if that counts

what a fascinating journey. it's hard to tell how much mountaineering experience you have or if you have taken some climbing courses, avalanche certification, etc . . . you successfully summited a challenging objective which is so impressive. at times, it appeared that you were winging it. amazing ! congrats.

Beautiful view. Wow what a climb.

I have never seen that must glacier footage before. Awesome

Brave brave souls you are. Thanks for taking us there.

Pretty amazing adventure.

Rocky Mountain High wasn't about weed as I'm sure you know. Of course these days with all the platforms there are certainly many who go high just for the 'look at me moments' but to me and maybe you, wilderness is one of the very few things that I'm passionate about. Carrying 60-70 lbs in terrain like that is for the very few. I had 65 crossing the Alaskan tundra last year and never again, but I'm 59. Thanks for all your efforts and thought. Really!!

Sad that so few have watched this. Well Done!!

Curious, what dud your packs weigh?

You have a talent for videomaking aaa

Do you think the leftover snow patches made the ascent (from snow tongue to the summit) easier or harder? Trying to decide if this is something that I should attempt in July or late August. Had a failed attempt early August 2023 due to weather.

Thanks so much for these great introspective on SPOP! Lovely show

This was already one the best youtube vids i seen in a while, I was actually thinking of going out there, and then u got me with the Vinland saga good fucking shit

So I finally rewatched She-Ra last december and it's the third time I've watched the show, I watched it once on may 2020 and then rewatched on january 2021 aaand I actually understand and feel for Catra way more now.

Good video. Does not look easy. Thanks for sharing. New sub. 👍👍

Great video to watch. I’ve accessed the Icefields via the Athabasca Glacier to climb Columbia, Snow Dome and Kitchener and have taken the Saskatchewan Glacier many times to climb Castleguard and explore the Castleguard Meadows. If you were to go up the Saskatchewan Glacier again, stay right after the old camping area with the old food cache, shortly after going over the initial forested ridge. There is a rickety looking but solid bridge over the gorge and you continue on a trail for a couple of hundred metres before rock hopping across a small channel of the river to access the flats. No fords and no bushwhacking and an easier approach. You do have to stay high on the right and pick your route carefully to get onto the glacier, but no fording, and definitely quicker.

I was there with my brother on Labor Day weekend in 1980. Our second camp was at about the same place as yours. No one told us we would have to get up at 2AM to go just a few miles (according to the map) to Gannett. We figured it out when we got to Bonnie Pass, which was as far as we went. The disappointment was pretty small considering what we did get to see. And coyotes were singing at night! (this was before the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone.) Like you, we did the exit hike in one day, and our feet were killing us. Downhill hiking can really slam the feet. The next time I go will be easier, with wings and nothing to carry but a harp.

*This video is pure gold...they should give you a medal and make a statue of you...thank you so much for all of this!!! 🥺🥲🤩😍*

Please don’t stop making videos

All this guy does is swear and complain about everything

Catra isn't a redemption because she has nothing to redeem. She is a child abuse survivor, plain and simple. People that don't see that and paint her as some sociopath completely undeserving of love and healing have zero empathy whatsoever.

Great video. I did my own video essay on She-Ra and while I do think Catra did have a "redemption arc", I think at the same time you're right as well. It's just that redemption arcs can take on vastly different forms in writing. A lot of people like to bring up Zuko as the gold standard, and while by all means I find that to be true, what people seem to forget in comparison to Catra is that Zuko didn't really need to change his mentality. He always knew the Fire Nation was wrong. He got his scar because he spoke out against the military's decision and from that point on his mentality was irreversably altered to the point he needed to change his actions moreso than his state of mind. Catra on the other hand did have to change her mentality and this is where I think the differences in arc lie. Catra also knew the Horde was bad and knew she was being manipulated, but unlike Zuko she had to change her own outlook on life where vegeance and continuing the cycle of abuse was justified because that's all she was taught and lead to believe in. That's what happens when she doesn't have an Uncle Iroh. I think a lot of people look at her arc as "poorly written" for a multitude of hollow reasons (let's not lie, how a lot of people hold female characters compared to male characters is a huge chunk of that) but I think another big reason why is that Catra's redemption is a bit out of control because it's a story of her mentality just as much as decision making. It's really the realization that she needed to understand she needs to break the chain that's the core of her journey above the actions. But even then, as far as I'm concerned, she paid her dues. She saved Glimmer's life, got the rebellion past the Horde blockade, and saved the whole planet/universe with her love to Adora. Though I do understand that even if she did more or if her bad actions weren't as intense, plenty of people would still hate her. I mean, just look at Skyler White discourse... To me, there are three main types of redemption arcs we are accustomed to: *Redemption Where Actions are Corrected:* Zuko and Yondu *Redemption Where Mentality is Changed:* Catra and Vegeta *Redemption Where You Get Close Despite Impossible Odds:* Anakin Skywalker, Heisei Godzilla, and Arthur Morgan I want to do another video essay in the future about Catra's redemption even though I have already talked about her a lot, but videos such as this, Princess Weekes, and discourse I've seen on how Horde Prime reflects a toxic belief in baptism being the solution to all problems, makes me want to talk about what her arc means to the show and other people. There's arguably a good amount of ableism from people who think she should have suffered more considering how a lot of people claim they support mentally abused people, but will then say they are past the point of no return when they display their trauma in a way that isn't meek or submissive. One of the reasons I love Catra's character and She-Ra's writing as a whole is that it treats abuse victims with the intensity they deserve in more shows in all honesty. It shows people that plenty abusive victims will lash out and cause destruction, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for them to change, later help themselves, then find a new better life. It teaches people that even if your abuse makes you cruel, that doesn't mean you will forever be deserving of misery. People who say she didn't "deserve" redemption seem to not have a grasp on what redemption is to begin with. Redemption is not something you are given. It's a long, streneous, and intricate process with no defining flipping of the switch moment.

Dang this is really cool to see the glacier route! Awesome stuff. I've done the south face which reaches both Jumbo and Karnak, I've been wanting to head up again to try and connect Commander...

24 views?!?!? WTF, this quality advice from a knowledgeable and amiable source. Keep making content this good and the views will come.

Absolutely a must watch before you visit Banff and Jasper!

I've always felt that pulling the lever was an act of suicide. Just my thought

Great advice in this video on how to decide where to go!

"The highest mountain entirely in Banff". Ok. Nice peak. It's the second highest point in the entire Saskatchewan River system drainage...which goes all the way to Hudson's Bay. Nice video.
