Hiking Across a Glacier - Hexatrek 16

[@CezarOutdoors]

Nice vlog, nice places! That snow images works very well with my burning fire in the wood stove. :)

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! Oooh that sounds very nice!

[@meikusje]

Oof, I've hiked that switchback section with the shale rock and I think I took three breaks going up 😂 absolute killer of an ascent. Ugh, but Parc des Écrins is so gorgeous, it's all worth it! ❤️

[@LaurenRoerick]

It’s a tough one! But yeah such a beautiful section!

[@chrishanson5542]

Nice job editing as usual. Lauren vs the vegans is funny. I’ve met so many vegans over the last couple years. Those climbs/descents looked brutal. And the storms would freak me out especially if you were somewhere really exposed to the wind & weather.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! I never got to eat a fondue in the alps because they only serve them for two people and I only found vegans to hike with 🤣🤣

[@StepsbyKaatje]

I hiked in the area of Les Ecrins, did a part of that tour. I remember some steep climbs as well... We even needed to attach ourselves at cables at a certain moment... But amazingly beautiful! I'm looking forward to the restof your journey! Greetz, Kaat

[@LaurenRoerick]

Oh wow! Yes it’s suuuuuuch a cool section :)

[@lanajohnson7073]

This section was especially beautiful and looked fun and challenging! So many crazy climbs!

Great to remind the HexaTrek ! good job ! Damien (Le Pélerin Sourd)

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you!! This was a fun section :) nice to look back on

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Great video. I think this has been my fave music mix. That little blue pool (sort of lake) was so cool.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks! It’s a lot easier to edit indoors haha

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

@@LaurenRoerick Look forward to see more.

[@user-benjamin0958]

Another awesome video, I wish it was possible to watch one of your videos in an Imax theater I bet it would be amazing. Stay safe and warm

[@LaurenRoerick]

Oh that would be so cool!!

[@VegasHikes]

Amazing trail.. I will make it my last Big Trail to do... 👊👊

[@LaurenRoerick]

It’s incredible!

[@KyleTurnerSF]

Parts looked like Iceland or Patagonia. How cool...

[@LaurenRoerick]

Totally! I’m constantly surprised by this trail!

[@doureveur]

@20:32 glacier de Saint Sorlin ... !!!

[@wineberryred]

The scenery looks amazing in this episode! Hiking looks hard.

[@LaurenRoerick]

It was! On both counts haha. Beautiful and challenging

[@CapmanBe]

Super ❤

[@LaurenRoerick]

😁

[@audiosaurus6511]

Are there a lot of river crossings on the Hexatrek?

[@LaurenRoerick]

Most of the larger ones have a bridge or large stones to walk across. These were some of the trickier ones

[@ThunderThome]

I've binged all the video's until here, it's quite the journey. I wonder how you really physically prepare for something like this. I'm completely wrecked after a day of hiking with gear for 10km and 1200m of elevation 🥲 So tips are welcome, you're doing great!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thanks for watching! A lot of walking daily is a good start, then keeping your pack weight low makes a big difference as well. For recovery, I’ve found magnesium citrate makes a huge difference for my muscles.

[@ThunderThome]

@@LaurenRoerick Yeah I started walking in the evenings when I can now after work. I used to walk (extra) only in the weekends which clearly isn't enough. So I hope it helps for my next trip to the alps 😂 I've studied the route you're taking btw and in stage 3 you're passing where I went last August, Lac de la Muzelle. Wanted to go to Lauvitel as well but there was a storm coming so we went down. But alright, more walking it is. Since I'm already trying to scrape weight of my pack bit by bit by buying new lighter gear 👌😁

[@ThunderThome]

@@LaurenRoerick I see it now btw that you slept at Lac Lauvitel at the end of day 54, I completely missed itI see it now btw that you slept at Lac Lauvitel at the end of day 54, I completely missed it

[@LaurenRoerick]

@@ThunderThome Yes I did! It was a great spot to camp.

[@ThunderThome]

@@LaurenRoerick Yeah I can imagine, it was my plan for the second night as well but since there was a massive storm coming we decided to go down. Glad that we did because the storm was really crazy, a bit like the storm I saw in one of your other videos
