Alta Via 2 // The Last 50 Miles

Alta Via 2 Part Two. A pork Knuckle is a large chunk of meat sold at most restaurants along the Alta Via. This will be important to know later on. Our adventure in the Dolomites continues. Having covered approximately 50 miles of the Alta Via 2 we set out to finish the rest of the route. Day 3 begins in San Pellegrino with our first stop planned for Rifugio Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata Where some soup and a hot dog wait to be slurped and devoured. Just fuel for the burn, and there is still a lot of burn left in the day. Day 3 of the Alta Via 2 will be a 27 mile 12,100ft behemoth. A day like that requires a never ending stream of hotdogs. Even with copious amounts of hot meat our final days in the Dolomites will be some of the most challenging of the trip. Our third day of the Alta Via will cover huge mountain passes and knee breaking descents while day 4 will give us a taste of some real Dolomite weather. A deluge of water and a never ending cacophony of thunder. Mother Nature isn’t gong to make it easy.

You guys managed to do the Alta Via 2 (160 km) in four days, that's four marathons plus some climbing... The normal time is triple that amount, just wow!

[@KakaBubus]

And they are also filming it in parallel 😂

[@jeremys6631]

Insert meme....are you new here 😅.... joke joke

[@gygantor360]

The only subscription where I’ve disciplined myself to not short change the experience by watching it on the phone. I’ve learned to patiently wait until I can stream an episode on the big screen. Thanks again Danny for another awesome one! That hot dog though; yeah looked nasty

[@lemmons7]

This is the best TV on KZbin.

[@krisztian007]

Another great one Danny, keep your music, I know I have said this before but it actually works to have the same 10 songs throughout the years. It's not getting boring but rather it brings your new Epic's an identity or fond memories of another older adventure. Think, the beginning of Top Gun 2...

[@daveg8212]

"Hut travel is the most luxurious way to travel." Cristof and Matt (?) have been telling you this for years!

[@DavidPaul714]

As always, your cinematography is next level. Your editing and camera angles capture the vertical scale to place us in your adventure. Your humor gives context to the challenge. Thanks for taking us along.

[@RUTired]

You can almost watch you guys getting skinnier from the first video to this one. Your adventures make me want to be in better shape to be able to do stuff like this.

[@yuliyanikiforets]

I noticed that too! Thought it was just me.

[@petehalupka3232]

This whole damn video series has been amazing.

[@samlaude2944]

A poetic example of no pain no gain fully personified!

[@andreyv1]

Sunday morning with a coffee and a new MA video is the best way to start my day. Oh, and watching these on a 55" 4k OLED TV is the way to go. Absolutely stunning.

[@ale10903videos]

What a crazy adventure. Those Europeans do love their straight down knee busting decents. You guys are absolute machines!

[@afrh9042]

Alright you convinced me I'll plan a trail running trip there 😂

[@holymackenaw]

i am very happy you were pleased with our tyrolean and north italian food at the huts. a good beef soup with tyrolean dumplings is my go-to on every hike.

[@nopares7220]

Great video and great adventure! Welcome to Italy btw :) If I may, I would like to HIGHLY recommend running the Sentiero Roma next time you come to the Italian Alps. It goes through Val Crodera and Val Masino: the scenery and the trail itself (and the huts) are amazing and unique. I'm sure you'll find resources online for it. If you don't feel free to reach out. Keep up the good work!

[@gpapciak]

You guys are truly insane! Much respect! The body changes over the days are a bit like watching Alone. More pork knuckles needed! 😂

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

Danny doesn’t skip leg days.

[@moosepeak]

Wicked Amazing. Knees of steel.

[@jhad536]

“Those passes probably are making us pretty hard, stiffening up our joints, our sinews, our loins. If you do the math, we’re medium, medium hard or medium soft.” “I’ve never handled more cable in my life than I did yesterday.” Next level editing Danny. I know that was for us NewsAF listeners!!😂

[@tjcodes5549]

I look forward to these posts. Thank you

[@gcolovich3393]

My favorite channel.

[@mountainssea9642]

Absolute animals. I proudly wear my MA neck gaiter when I’m out on the trails and just pretend I’m like you guys and even sometimes throw a Danny puke in for good measure.

[@TheSavacc]

This channel needs to named Epic Amateur.....that was awesome.

[@ilovegrilledcheese1313]

I'm so intrigued by this octopus-looking hot dog. So many questions.

[@ChewieTomatoes1]

Music game on point.

[@lesguersten7252]

That’s cool. What an achievement. Thanks for posting these beautiful adventures.

[@christinerolle3876]

You guys rocks!! I 'd like to say Bionic cool ,awesome guys.!!❤❤❤ .so jealous!!

[@sannejanssen5536]

"willing to keep moving through the mountains at a vigorous pace to earn more pastries" ❤ That's my style! Everything I do is to earn more pastries 😁 (and yes, sometimes even waking up and getting out of bed counts 😂). Amazing adventure!!

[@hainesftw90]

I can almost feel how punishing that was on your knees. Awesome trail, you guys killed it as always.

[@gardenhose590]

Love the grand finale! Amazing video!

[@williampacey9194]

Two things, your both in no way medium fit, your in excellent shape. Second my chest swelled with pride not seeing any Technicolor Yawns. (Puke). Very enjoyable video with beautiful views.

[@4wardlobster]

great job awesome videos good effort. I can now call you the Italian Sidewinders

[@ZonDog]

Spectacular vidio guys, and great music! 😎

[@tommartinez2665]

Just watching hurt my knees! Amazing like always!

[@sjldfilms5126]

You guys are amazing! What a testament to friendship.

[@GoTakeADrive]

I watch you guys climb in astonishingly grand locations, but I wonder if you would/have hiked our humble hills. In New Hampshire, the Presidential Traverse is 23 Miles, 10,000 feet of climbing.

[@papajon62]

What a sublime adventure. You guys always put up some big numbers wherever you go! What an inspiration…

[@robmills7611]

Why wouldn't you ever want to say the words Alta Via 2 again?? It looked absolutely spectacular!! Why wouldn't you want to do a return trip sometime?? And having food stops all along the way is such a HUGE bonus!!

[@BearPlane747]

4 marathons in 4 days with 8-12k feet of gain each day, that's why

[@tpzlol]

after doing that hike everyone in my group was like "am i happy i did it? yes! would i do it again? maybe in 10+ years"

[@PeopleWatchingMarcus]

Every video is 🔥🔥🔥

[@ChesterChi3]

The Italians really know how to make a great-looking hot dog. Joking aside, it's a spectacular video as always. Pristine image quality, good framing, audio, commentary, and editing.

[@PatrickCole-md9bu]

It's more of a Swiss/Italian culture in the Dolemites.

[@studiohost]

Interesting to think about the folks that cut that trail! Fun to watch!!

[@cyclox73]

I just got done running in Chamonix and was telling my wife that a mile in Chamonix is not equal to a mile back in the PNW. Whole different level.

[@dorasnaranjit82]

Congratulations! And not just in what you do.. Also in HOW you do it!!! Keep enjoying! Thank you🙂

[@TheLemouria]

Well done guys. A presto!

[@maidhci]

Outstanding once more. What a treat this channel is for the armchair amateur hiker!

[@antoniozucchini8255]

Assolutamente fantastico !

[@XPLRNW]

The slide at the end of the video was GREAT! Loved the video! - PNW! xplrnw

[@timjones8837]

You lucky guys.....I soooooo wanted to do this route this September!! Many thanks for sharing! What an epic experience!! Ciao!!

[@cherylbenish3274]

This has to be the best filming I’ve seen of your videos. Just breathtaking scenery and some very scary parts in the rain too! You are both fitness gods now.

[@doriswlongAgoandfarAway]

dang that was amazing.

[@jwhoward182]

At times I was sitting in front of my computer, cringing over the suffering Danny and Chase endured in this amazing episode.

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

Love the spires and the huts!!

[@jasonissertell]

“Oh it’s wet, it’s wet, it’s wet… still worth it!” 🤙

[@austinado16]

Extremely impressive... all of it!!! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@BobBroeking]

Approaching 100K subscribers; great video!

[@pagewhite8177]

Absolutely incredible! Gorgeous scenery and amazing feats of athleticism. Thank you for the video.

[@YGTWW]

epic video! can't believe those descents

[@wayphun72]

AMAZING!

[@jacksonwilliams8524]

Congrats on finishing the Alta via 2! Ya’ll should work on cutting these episodes up into short form content. Your content is sick and needs to be on as many platforms as possible 💯

[@grindpalm]

I got the same gaiters - excellent choice! 😂

[@oldcrust4741]

Fabulous as always. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@user-cu4je7vm5c]

So good! I look more forward to your content than anything else on KZbin. Love it and well done gents 👊

[@tarmon768]

Sweet adventure so beautiful

[@jun2932]

Dude, your best video. Your best storytelling. Your best imagery. So amazed and impressed. Well done.

[@Latitude30Four]

The scenery pulls you forward. For viewers too!

[@annie7395]

Oh my god it looked like you were walking ON clouds during the rain

[@shmoopiesadventures662]

Amazing! - congrats, another great adventure! Epic Filmmaking (and running, mountaineering) and hope to see more very soon...maybe from Switzerland again?

[@thelateknights]

This was the best one yet.

[@BeLikeNeel]

You guys are awesome ! Just finished watching this one for the 4th time. Can't wait for your TMB video

[@lauraparker3202]

what an epic adventure, thanks for the incredible footage!

[@claudieleece6257]

Great video. You guys are amazing.

[@MrBizfit]

Crazy good as always!! Thanks guys!!!

[@andygolborne5747]

Bloody amazing, Fantastic effort, guys and great filming and narration, as ever.

[@jerrycamp5235]

Awesome adventure! You guys are crushing it!

[@ItaiGanor]

amazing guys! the footage, the views, the experience, i felt like I was with you guys, I felt those downhill on my knees as well :D keep the amazing content, your awesome!

[@TimberrlandOutdoors]

Awesome.👍

[@AleksandarGospic]

During first 2 days higher forces saw this was too easy for you in normal weather, so they decided it's time to raise the level of difficulty 😁😁 Well, we are used to expect mediocrity from you, so nothing surprises us anymore 👏👏👏 Amazing job Danny & Chase 🍻

[@hannahm5910]

You guys are awesome! Nicely done adding captions, much appreciated :)

[@bboss8048]

Cant unsee that hot dog/sausage thing.

[@tkmjees]

I need to hear about the gross sandwich. I know Danny has eaten a sandwich with some bird droppings on it so curious to know what topped that.

[@davidanthony247]

I was coming here for a similar comment 😂

[@d33f15h]

Incredible

[@ericpassiniemi3194]

Incredible what you guys did!

[@nastyfyme]

Amazing. I'm stunned and have no words. Simply epic ❤

[@EM-ol6rb]

Τι ομορφιά! ❤

[@brettm8970]

Nice video. Thanks for the ride along.

[@mikemetz82]

So epic! Thank you for taking us along. Would love to hear the story on how and who selected ‘Clip’ for your theme song. It’s been my ringtone for the better part of 2 years. Lol Cheers!

[@oliverschmid294]

Pretty stoked for this one

[@robopecha]

80s death metal star gaiters ftw!

[@daveholmes6169]

Love you're "tough gators" 😂😂. What an awesome trip! You guys rock

[@Mars_Life_and_Beings]

Congratulations on a great accomplishment.

[@saltydog6241]

Love it. Incredible footage and editing. Adding this trail to my bucket list!

[@joshiunterwegs]

This was awesome to watch love your vids!

[@FullSenderson]

Awesome video

[@nealjoyce8696]

Beautifully filmed and edited as always and huge congrats on a mahoosive run climb 🙌🙌🙌 hope the quads are recovering well

[@jtcollins2112]

Nice job boys

[@M3plusYOU]

VASCULAR D

[@will3057]

Italy looks so pretty also how do you hike for so long I can't walk a mile.

[@ChesterChi3]

"how do you hike for so long" - you start with half a mile, then 3/4 mile, then 1 mile, you keep doing it a few times a week and gradually increase the distance.

[@macmurfy2jka]

It’s like they took the East Cost Trail routing mentality and applied it the the steepes, craggiest mountains one could find! Sweet lord, 6000 vert is 3/4 mile is steep. Like steep for stairs steep! Holy moley!

[@SS-jj3ql]

Sunday morning festival 🎉

[@ropersix]

Hey I just noticed Chase switched to a BD bag, too, for the second part. Interesting, as I'm thinking of trying one of those.

[@ianbritton7534]

Danny, how about a kit overview? Thanks.
