[@gmgori0205]

awesome video... Hope to see you in your next hike journey soon.

[@uptrail7169]

Awesome video Will! I need to make this climb someday. What nice weather for views! Thanks for sharing.Bob

[@dogofthedesert6642]

I liked the long version of your hike to the top (as part of the PCT series) but this was a fun way to watch again. Thanks!

[@northsideofthemountain4068]

Beautiful views RB. One of the many hikes I meant/meaning to do in CA. Thanks for sharing

[@patriciobeltz1449]

You can get a one day pass the day before. Get to sleep early and start your hike at night @ 10 pm. By the time you enter the park it's @ midnight and you can make it to the top as the sun rises.

[@jimmg8994]

Awesome video - very well put together. Love to give it a shot...some day

[@1903A3shooter]

Hey Red Beard. good to see you again. Dave

[@grantw6266]

Thanks for another great RB adventure. Are you still using the Sony camera from the AT ?? The picture quality on your vids is always superior. Happy hiking !!

[@nc2988]

Superb video, I really enjoyed it. Makes me want to do it again, even though I swore once would be enough.

[@jened9554]

Wow just amazing! Just got the email this morning. Heading up this summer!

[@Fortuneadventures]

Can't wait to do this as a do the thru hike this year on the PCT

[@Loner2012AT]

Great video Red Beard! Just amazing the landscape and views you saw. Was awesome to finally meet ya at Trail Days! See ya at next year.

[@RedBeard0924]

It was incredible out there! It was great finally meeting you as well, we've been communicating since the start of my hiking. I will definitely see you next year my friend! We will have to try and hit the trail together one day.

[@SimonsDiscoveries]

Nice. I need to get up there this year. Especially, that it's bot too far from my place.

[@howdydoughty7634]

Awesome video bro really enjoyed it.

[@KrizAkoni]

Totally, absolutely, fantastically, stunning!! ....now, I Must climb this peak....

[@mattblue2687]

I remember you posting this on your PCT thru hike sweet views. If you ever come to Utah, hike the Highline trail in the High Uinta's... All alpine

[@clintonnovak4640]

Amazing journey!

[@blackturtleshow]

Mt. Langley, another 14K+ peak to the south, is also a really great hike!

[@danaclark1304]

Inspirational!!! and to the point... Thank you very much.

[@alpachino2shae]

Great video mr Beard

[@TVinmyEye]

Just hiked Whitney for the first time 3 days ago. It Was truly an amazing indescribable experience!

[@gcruik]

TVinmyEye g

[@Hamburger247]

TVinmyEye was it hard to breathe

[@TVinmyEye]

Hamburger247 i didnt have much trouble until i was at approximately 12,500 feet. For me anyway from 12.5k ft upwards it did become difficult. And around 13,500 i was having difficulty with the altitude just feeling nauseous and my head was throbbing.

[@Hamburger247]

Wow sounds intense! I'm definitely planning on doing it. I'm sure you can agree that the experience is def well worth that trade off lol

[@crystalabbe5707]

Do you think having the oxygen bottles would have helped with the high altitude?

[@gnonymouse]

Love the vids and information thanks!

[@ktpinnacle]

Don't see video from that route very often. Thx for that.

[@khowell1991]

Dude... Your beard is so solid!! Major props!

[@dgarcia8421]

Suck him up already

[@mponce951]

wow..thanks for rhe video..im getting that itch to this.

[@markburrell2778]

Really good as usual.

[@therealbennybraden]

I definitely got to do that one some day.

[@jbsoul4575]

You went up the west side. John Muir trail I believe.

[@MidsierramusingBlogspot]

You might want to note that is hike is not the usual route from Whitney Portal that most folks take. You came from Crabtree Meadows.

[@kadielynn100]

you should explore the unknown not the path they want you to, love your videos been a fan for a while

[@quagmire131313]

Will be there in August! How many hours did it take to reach the top? Total?

[@biggiefrye45]

Just applied in the lottery this morning. hoping to head out this summer to hike this!

[@douromali]

Did you get a permit? I didn't. :(

[@biggiefrye45]

David G. Nope.. didn't get it :/

[@douromali]

Yes, I got a permit, too. I did not win the lottery but then on May 1st I went online and bought an unclaimed permit for August 29-30. AWESOME.

[@operationseekingtruth]

Rad, I have a chance to do this in July.

[@determineddad7935]

My grandpa and father climbed Mt Whitney. I want and will do it next.

[@GreasyBaconMan]

Be blessed and be extra careful.

[@HeartPumper]

Will, will you try to finish PCT this year?

[@gregoryshaw6275]

Excellent video

[@mmatthews61687]

The trail up the mountain reminds me so much of climbing the path up the volcano on the original Island Map in Ark : Survival Evolved.

[@sgrun100]

Hey, are trail shoes good enough for Whitney is September?

[@MrDirtythumb]

Amazing!

[@izbiz671]

Dude, you're strong!!.....you gotta have legs to climb Mt. Whitney, Forester Pass, Half Dome, and coming from Mexico through the desert...are you coming back to PCT in 2017?

[@RedBeard0924]

I will be finishing the AT summer 2017. I have other hikes planned before then preventing me from getting there sooner. Superior Hiking Trail thru hike and Patagonia then finish the PCT.

[@izbiz671]

God bless and more power to you bro!!

[@axjmd]

What was that building at the top about?

[@ECWnWWF]

where is the survey marker?

[@ybmbenjamin6256]

have you done any colorado 14ers

[@alekmellen935]

Bad ass brother. Im trying to get my permit this year. Did you do the whole hike in one day? or did you stay at either of the two camps?

[@RedBeard0924]

I did it in one day but I was thru hiking the PCT so I came up from the backside which is a shorter hike.

[@alekmellen935]

Oh sweet! You're a regular ole mountain goat. What time of year did you go? I'm seeing several videos in July with icy/snow covered trails. Maybe that's just on the other side?

[@stripervince1]

awesome. i want to move to bishop so badly. lived in palmdale for 12 years. now live in orlando. wife dont want to go......do i leave her? the west is calling,, pulling at me again...im almost 60...what do i do. help

[@josephrivera4233]

stripervince1 go.

[@720flipUwish]

Did you go?

[@Antinarella1]

Headed there in July! What did you use to film this video?

[@RedBeard0924]

Sony Action Camera

[@h5863emtmatt]

Awesome video.....I've walked in your footsteps. I will be back

[@skylerroberts385]

Awesome !

[@wingumd8639]

Just curious, do you get a cellular reception on the summit?

[@RedBeard0924]

With AT&T I did but it was weak.

[@CapysGardenShop]

RIP to the single mother of 2 who fell 100’, spent 2 freezing nites alone, was found & died from injuries. Doesn’t look like a place to hike alone or without some sort of tracking device.

[@AstralHiGH]

Whats a better hike Half Dome or Mt Whitney? I say Half Dome all the way.

[@patriciobeltz1449]

HD is 5 x easier and the view is better.

[@coachrambo007]

That beard would have me itching up something fierce.

[@reidmitchell1980]

What month did you climb this in?

[@RedBeard0924]

June

[@dant3113]

I hope I get my permit for this may. never been there but I want it to be a challenge. do you think this route was hard for an experienced hiker? what class would you rate it?

[@RedBeard0924]

+rocky h it's a serious climb up and crazy elevation but it's not too tough for someone who is in good shape.

[@dant3113]

Will Wood awesome. I hope I get the permit, then hope to do grand teton in June

[@douromali]

Did you get a permit? I didn't. :(

[@dant3113]

David G. I just checked and I got it!! sorry u didn't get it. what date did you request?

[@douromali]

I requested five dates in mid-August through early September. Sucks. :(

[@lemlemgebeye3005]

Did you pay for it?

[@bullfrog1954]

Very sceinc area!

[@JohnABA88]

Nice!

[@BobSmithwandering451]

Looking down is so better than looking up. Peace.

[@jtr109]

What song is that?

[@RedBeard0924]

+jtr109 alive by Dynastrax

[@jtr109]

Thanks Will. Great vid as always.

[@kdsadventures9654]

it's awesome. . . 😁

[@bobbyshah5743]

Nice job Grizzly....

[@gregall2178]

Nice video, but you can't see Death Valley from Whitney ;-)

[@adolf_hitman8695]

I Conquered gorgonio. This is next

[@mikemagee4209]

what are the other top 4?

[@RedBeard0924]

San Jacinto, Half Dome, Katahdin, Mt Leconte.

[@mponce951]

isnt mtn gorgiono higher than san jacinto

[@haakonww]

epic

[@mmatthews61687]

Great video but the music didn't really match in my opinion. Some new age mellow stuff would have been better

[@yaels1105]

I climbed this a few weeks ago and I'm 12

[@RedBeard0924]

You rock! 🙌

[@yaels1105]

Thanks. It took me 20 hours round trip. It was the hardest thing I've ever done

[@ktpinnacle]

Effort brings great rewards. Congrats.

[@ProjectCarTV]

HIKING Mt Whitney, not climbing, big difference.

[@S.C.-wo8hq]

You said it so I didn't have to.

[@henriquesimoes5123]

monte chiliad gta5?

[@bartacomuskidd775]

Had to mute it.. bit like pineapple on pizza.. raspberry ales.. chewing gum after eating cashews..Government and Religion.. politicians and integrity.. etc etc..

[@RedBeard0924]

I love all of those things

[@bartacomuskidd775]

WILL ..Will. Listen to me.. there are people who care.. people who want to help. You do not have to go through this alone. Come on now.. all together.. _god, grant me the serenity, to accept the things..._

[@boomdos4265]

Bartacomus Kidd...you mean help slap the shit out of you? for sure!

[@Lindleyferchel]

You did not start from the trail head.

[@phutton88]

climbing? That's maybe a 2nd class hike. climbing starts at 4th class.

[@bobsaget9014]

Paul Hutton I disagree. I'd say it starts at 3. That is when you need to use both hands and legs.

[@phutton88]

Bob Saget nah. There's no risk involved. Climbing involves grades where there's consequence to losing your footing and taking a plunge.

[@bobsaget9014]

Paul Hutton idk where you live but in colorado our two deadliest mountains are class 3. Longs peak has killed 54 people and it's considered easy class 3.

[@sergeig685]

The word your are looking for is "hiking". Hiking mt Whitney

[@gunit6138]

It's flat

[@hankhanson6922]

The muzak made me vomit.

[@joedizzelfoerizle]

Cliff bars suck 😐

[@MrMamklpx]

climb? lol

[@Hollowsmith]

Why do hiking videos have such corny awful music? It's like the more talented someone gets at hiking, the more awful their music taste becomes.

[@Hollowsmith]

@Trophy Robot I'll tell you who crushes on music/hiking combo footage is Kraig Adams .Top shelf shit.
