Arapahoe Peaks Traverse, Indian Peaks, Colorado, a Class 4 Solo Scramble [4K UHD Cinematic]

A Colorado Front Range Hiking & Scrambling classic, this Adventure, just over an hour's drive from Denver delivers a beautiful approach combined with airy views into the Arapahoe Basin, complete with Glacier, is amazing! The climbing was very enjoyable as well. Route finding was fairly straight forward with orange arrows marking much of the way. Combining this route with the Snow/Couloir climb "Skywalker" during spring snow conditions would only make it better! This is an out and back route as documented, the ridge is .8 miles one way.
14er,com Had an excellent route guide

I would recommend reviewing if you're planning to do this trip.
All Drone footage was shot from line of site, stationed outside of Indian Peaks Wilderness on Roosevelt National Forest land. Maps are in the video.

Actually pretty remarkable videography and editing for a small channel and a solo adventure. Really impressive and well done. Thank you for doing our mountains justice 😊

[@petr-podrouzek]

Fantastic, Karl !! 🙂

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Much appreciated Petr! 🙏

[@UnfinishedBuisnessFL]

Super awesome vids! My first track was Mt Elbert and as a Floridian! Colorado is our second home! Thanks for the inspiration. Our parents have peaked many a 14er as Coloradans. Air Force veterans. We turned them on to your videos. My husband is a Class 4 -5 climber. Can’t wait to get back out there. Thanks Karl! Hope to see you out there on trail one day!

[@deckersolutions4798]

Thank you so much Nicole! I wouldn’t be surprised, running into people from KZbin is started happening quite a bit. I’ve probably crossed paths with your parents, and nearly the same age, lol! If you give me some basic bio info. Before you come out, I can probably make some great recommendations for you when you’re here.

[@KinematicsFX]

the production value of your videos are so high, it's astonishing you don't have more viewers. thanks for all these videos and the information within

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks for the support and appreciate the comment! Stick around you're gonna like the new ones coming in the next couple weeks 👍

[@ruggedland]

Did this traverse exactly 1 week ago with a friend. It’s a lot of fun and the views can’t be beat. You may also try Mt Neva North Ridge (0:25 in the video) in the same area which is another fun class 4 climb

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

I'll definitely check it out, just working on an edit of one of your past recommendations! Kasparov Traverse!, and beyond!! Pretty SWEET!

[@ruggedland]

Sweet! Can’t wait

[@surfcruzer]

Super adventure.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks again brother! Appreciate you 👍

[@dansouth2088]

As always a top notch video and stunning scenery. The CO board of tourism should hire you to make their material. Thanks for getting me fired up, I'll be in CO in one week!!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks again Dan, hopefully you'll have clear skies for your trip! Appreciate you man 👍

[@naturalathleteclinic]

Great vid! Headed there this weekend!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Excellent plan, enjoy that wonderful area!! Thanks, Karl 👍👍. Oh, please share your favorite vids with friends, that's how we're growing 🙏🙏

[@73NF14Ret]

Nice video again. So jealous of your time and location to all these great hikes and climbs. I live in Texas and come to Colorado twice a year and normally get one good hike each trip - my wife only likes the easier stuff. Always thought using a dirt bike would be nice getting to a lot of the tough THs, I would worry a tad about the security though…but I love dirt bike riding too!

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thanks again John, yes the idea behind the dirt bike was exactly what you say - get up there early and as far as possible to THs! Like you, love riding them too. Stay tuned, got some new ones coming I'm pretty stoked about!

[@pitherra]

I would love to hike that high but I'm too scared 😱

[@edmiller999]

Another great Video! Looks like you are having a great summer climbing season.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Yeah man! And with the recent material to edit and release, it looks to be a fun next month for the channel 👍

[@whimpihastarobbi5700]

This is incredible. The shots, the planning, and the great editing are all inspiring, Enjoy the awesome life you have! Whimpi, Indonesia..

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Thank you for the nice words Whimpi! Really appreciate you noticing the nuances of these productions, very satisfying for me!

[@jason20341]

Great video as always! What’s the total distance on this hike/climb?

[@ruggedland]

10.2 miles/3600ft vert

[@TheHighlands111]
