Climbing five 13ers with 8,300ft ascent in 23 Miles | CDT Day 91

[@judytombaugh2990]

Amazing - those red flowers were unreal!

[@RickINFJ]

You were soaring today 9L! Absolutely divine up there, thank you for filming. 😊 Btw, those Flextails are amazing! Rest well ✌️

[@jimscott2998]

Holy cow, girl. I’m glad you’re doing these alpine peaks before the snow flies. 6” of snow and that wind could be seriously dangerous. I’ll not relax til you’re south of Grey’s Peak, the highest point on the CDT, the season is closing in on you!😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@leedanielson7452]

This has got to be one of the most spectacular hiking videos I have ever watched!!!!🤯🥰👍👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@debbiepowell8172]

AMAZING 🤩 The scenery is breathtaking. That hike made me squirm in my chair a little. So glad you all made it safely.

[@christinashepard8787]

You keep climbing and climbing and it looks like you’ll never see another human again. It’s so vast. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@jodiearrington]

This has been a beautiful journey. Have you thought about putting a coffee table book together of all the photos, publishing and selling? I, for one, would surely buy it! Thank you Kelly and friends. Blessings to you all.

[@lauraboggs4415]

Gorgeous!! Although Wow! So glad I am NOT your Mom!!! 😅. Thanks for taking us along..to see things we’ll most likely never see in person!

[@jimhenderson387]

What incredible views! What incredible mountains! And the videography is pretty incredible too. Thanks for taking us there.

[@SkiCounseler]

I love how you guys approach the CDT. Taking these extremely challenging alternates to maximize the adventure is awesome! The payoff is huge as you capture such beautiful video.

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Kelly! So glad that y’all did Rollins Pass where one of our sons proposed to his wife! We spent many days going up and down James and those other ridges! So many memories close to our hearts! We could see that whole hike from our house in WP! Thanks so much for including all of that climb! Lots more cool stuff coming up! Saddle up!

[@stuartrollings602]

That was so epic! I was wondering how it would compare to the Wind and even though I knew it was tough it’s fun to hear from someone else, especially you! Thanks very much!

[@RidgeWalker8414]

Awesome job 9Lives, your killen it up in my high country now. I fondly remember the clouds and sun lookin similar on that ridge. Only I was NoBo so it was a beautiful sunrise instead of a set!

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Oh those views😍😍 What an amazing sunset!! You guys are so strong!!

[@vickifg13]

You and Side Quest are awesome hiking buddies.❤

LOVING this trail! 💓 June of '23 we took a road trip from FL to CO for a couple of weeks. We had our 5th wheel and stayed in various areas of the state. It is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! We visited RMNP, Great Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, Pikes Peak and traveled up the Million Dollar Highway. Watching these last few videos is bringing back those memories. Grand Lake is such a cute little town. Keep on trekking and stay safe out there!! Can't wait to see you finish! 🎉

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Wow ,, Love the visuals ,, this is some of my old trails and memories ... Used to fish all those alpine lakes around James Peak in my younger days ,, It all looks the same ,,, except back then the highest lake on James Peak ,,Ice Lake ,, had a glacier snow patch that stayed all year ... and already snow covered by this time .... Tough hiking on all that scree with a full pack ...

[@MaxZomboni]

Damn, you have to get into Peak Bagging. You were knocking off those 13ers like they were nothing. 😎👍

[@denisebrown2940]

WOW, that was a lot of climbing. You are doing amazing. What beauty along the way.

[@nam_hn]

Just done my best 50 push-ups ever thanks to your video.

[@gfxman14]

I was in Winter Park 3 weeks ago, and stopped at this CD pass and warming station. Just missed ya I guess, good luck the rest of the way

[@JohnsTinyWoodshop]

I finally got caught up! Keep pounding out those miles

Mighty rough hiking from the looks of it.

I sense pink blazing ❤😊

[@wev2344]

Great stuff!

[@SalPane1224]

This video was a little intense,no food pure serious mood 👍

[@John572d4]

If it’s a warming hut is there any actual heat source like a fireplace..

[@indtexcol]

Is that the warming hut on Hwy 40?

[@MaxZomboni]

Yes, Berthoud Pass.

[@christopherharrison3524]

Those clouds are so low when you’re so high that you can almost touch them 😊

[@vibelife5133]

Incredible!

[@John572d4]

A question might be if crossed the train tracks in this video or the next, the Amtrak that goes between Denver and California goes through there somewhere.

[@chrissaunders8284]

Those were some magical views. Did the others do this sidequest or just you and, uh, Sidequest?

[@kmphotoandfilm]

what does it feel like hiking in that elevation? I was in fairplay CO one time (10,000 ft) but we were just driving through and that was intense…

[@ndan3746]

Wow Kelly That was a spectacular day

I slept in that warming house as well. Did the motion sensor turn the lights on every 10 minutes for you too?

[@kellyhays23]

Yes!😭 it was so annoying lol

[@John572d4]

Okay but was it an indoor or outdoor motion sensor, or both.

[@randallharter]

That stinks having to carry that much water but it's better than not having the water between miles 12 and 24! What are your trail names?
