[@gregall2178]

Another fantastic video. Miter Basin has intrigued me for some time. I wish I had explored it from Soldier Lake. When you mention New Army Pass across Sky Blue Lake, I believe the peak on the horizon is Cirque Peak. I summited it once and remember looking across towards the basin and beyond to Mt Whitney. Thanks for sharing your journey with us :-)

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Greg! Yes that is Cirque Peak out there in between the new and old pass, Miter basin is a highlight for sure!

[@andrewyoung8604]

The most prominent peak looking down Miter Basin, though, is Langley; CIrque is to the west, and out of view, I think, at least above Sky Blue Lake. I looked again, at about 16:50 on the video, and Cirque Peak is indeed at the right in the more distant horizon.

Trail running?

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@trailkrum]

I didn’t see a specific answer regarding the pass, but yes, there is an easier scree chute straight down the center, though not that apparent from above. What you ended up doing was definitely spicier, but you made it down just fine, so, it must also have been the way ;) From the north-west corner of the lake, you can go straight up to Discovery Pinnacle, which is the southern endpoint of the Whitney crest. It’s a long scree slog fest, but the views are epic!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Awesome, first response I have gotten to the question lol, I was considering climbing up to Discovery but Inwas meeting my friends down on the PCT so I had to go down that direction. Would have been cool to go up that route though.

Wonderful job. Unbelievable extra effort for walk bys. I watched because I'm looking for new adventures. After watching your Crabtree Pass crossing, I'm not going to attempt it. About to get my right hip replaced, and have already replaced my left knee. Just too sketchy for this old body. But Sky Blue Lake and even the lakes above look doable. I did a bit of the Big SEKI loop in 2019 before getting turned back by the snow on Colby Pass. I thought Colby Lake was about as pretty as it gets, though it's hard to beat the Rae Lakes area.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Hey David, yeah that Crabtree pass was a bit more scary than I anticipated, although it is not technical at all. You could easily go up to the lakes, no problems there.

[@kernriverheadwaters]

Jarl, would u estimate your hiking speed while filming yourself vs not? all the setup / backtracking is Huge, espesh when steep! do u have a remote so that u can stop recording from a far, and have less editing later? what goes into all that is pretty signif, i do not take this 4 granted. Thank u for making it so fun 2 watch!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I remember doing the Rae Lakes loop and having to do a 25 mile day to be able to complete the loop, recorded the day going from Arrowhead Lake, counter clockwise and ending up at around Charlotte Creek In Bubbs Creek and while recording all the video I averaged 2,5 miles an hour, I would say that I could prob have averaged 3 to 3,5 miles an hour on that stretch without shooting and film. That is a very easy trail though, I think in this video in the Miter Basin I wouldnt have walked very much faster even without filming, the filming gives me breather. I dont use a remote😊

[@SummitSeeker546]

Awesome Jarl. Was eyeing a similar trip to the Miter Basin to climb Mt. Pickering and Mt Mallory but the smoke cancelled the permits. You mentioned a section above soldier lake but below Sky Blue that was no fun. How would you do it differently in hindsight or is it just one of those sections you just have to grunt through? Magnificent basin. I definitely will do a trip there to fish and do some summit seeking...

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you, that section was prob ok in hindsight, it was a combination of the smoke getting really bad, the weather getting really hot, bushwacking down from upper soldier lake and this being the end of the day after summiting to Mt Langley. The route is from the upper end of lower Soldier Lake and up a grassy chute and takes some work, nothing technical though. I think the normal trail is down in the valley itself and doesnt go up and through the chute.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

I might have tried to stay high and traverse instead of dropping from upper to lower soldier lake

I have watched most of your Norwegian and Swedish videos and am just starting on your American adventures. Just one question. Considering the terrain you always travel, why do you not use trekking poles? I can see how they might not work on big boulders but they sure help balance and help take pressure off the back.

Trekking poles are in the way and mess with the strenght and balance of my legs, you will build better core balance and leg strenght without them. Most people dont agree with me on this one, but the ones I hike with the most do.
