Hiking, Climbing and Sliding Lone Peak

The duo scramble up hundreds of feet of near vertical stone, traverse dangerous ridges and occasionally run to reach the summit of Lone Peak, a local mountain with some imposing cliffs. After reaching the summit they slide nearly a thousand feet down steep snow covered slopes on pants made of garbage bags.

The whole bug swallowing section had me laughing to the point of tears and pain ! F***ing ridiculous. Next time I'm out on a hike in a buggy area, I will remember this video and crack up.

[@jakollee]

It’s happened to me many times with black flies in the Adirondack mountains (NY).

[@umanicole3729]

"...Blake's gonna go first so if he falls to his death I'll know that area of snow is off limits for those who want to live..."

[@sharonslocum9422]

This channel is underrated. Should have more subscribers.

[@Haggybardy]

I love you and Blake, this was an awesome video and the bug-swallowing made me cry with laughter!

[@darren6110]

Best youtubers out there!

[@esgee3829]

This looks like fun. And great edit.

[@KF7MGT]

Nice work! Ive been on 70% of these areas, just not collins highway (what you took from cirque to south summit).

[@gilligansisle6914]

Cool drone shots too! but longer please!

[@logann]

Scary solo there. Surprised you guys haven't gotten into any roped climbing. Could do a lot of cool alpine sumits with a short skinny rope and a small set of nuts and hexes, simul-climbing.

[@MediocreAmateur]

We talk about it every year. It would definitely increase our range when it comes to adventuring.

[@brettfielding1816]

Do it. U guys have the skills and talent.

[@marcussorenson3148]

Epic bug spewing!

[@natalien511]

Blake: “What are they doing?!” 🤣🤣

[@jiggystardust]

Are you guys the masters of the class 4 climbing scramble? Please do McHenry's notch in RMNP, the route would be from/to Solitude lake. First up Arrowhead on the ledges, up the arete to McHenrys, down the notch back up to Powell, over the arete to Thatchtop and back down to Solitude lake. Reverse if you prefer to upclimb McHenry's notch.

[@MKxpl]

rewatching, good stuff lol

[@PhilCaracci]

I'm guessing there is a drone to get some of those shots?

[@Sacredview]

The real question is... did you where Lone Peaks going up Lone Peak? Just playin'...

[@aermotors]

Seriously some crazy level scrambling up the side of that thing...! Do you have a Strava or other route on this?

[@Summit_Seeker]

It is Pete’s staircase, I want to give it a go before the end of the summer but I’m kinda terrified

[@JohnDoe-nb4sp]

Was that the notch you guys came down into bells?

[@mikemcintosh9933]

1:35 what was that? lol

[@basepadz]

the first and my favorite video of yours ive watched. one of u bums needs to send some vids to natgeo, discovery, or something and get a show lol

[@basepadz]

jk dont sell out keep doing what you're doing

[@MediocreAmateur]

I agree with everything you wrote. We'll keep doing what we do but we would gladly sell out if only to get our gear and trips paid for.

[@geoff4705]

Where do you get those garbage bag pants?

[@menace2mpls]

I hope Search and Rescue follows you on Instagram 🤣

[@CovasNog_twitchVODS]

What the fuck I did that hike two days ago I almost fell to my death climbing the rock that goes straight up it look so fucking scary but the sliding part is so fun

[@CovasNog_twitchVODS]

God

[@simonhah9657]

I would be afraid of a rock shaped like a damn sharks fin hitting me in the fucking nuts

[@benjaminneel8159]

Which trail did you go on?

[@MediocreAmateur]

Benjamin Neel Jacobs Ladder then up Collins highway to the summit

[@johnwright6090]

I'll say it again.....STUDS

[@hawaiiwavehome]

F'ing hilarious. Now do it with a stinkbug. It's been 15 years and to even think about it makes me gag.

[@gualdus]

Ey Danny,dónde te has dejado a este tío,es más cachondo que los dos con los que vas ahora...😜

[@TheHowardabstracto]

Very entertaining to watch but guys do some sketchy shit!

[@frankblangeard8865]

Does their life insurance company know what their hobby is?

[@mqbitsko25]

That was a roped climb, realistically. Very foolish to scramble up that route. The traverse between the peaks is also very sketchy. In general you do the south peak if you climb from Alpine, and the north peak if you come up through the cirque.

[@ryleypabst]

The fun part about the mountains is there’s no right or wrong way to go

[@gardenhose590]

Geez. I thought I had seen all your videos, but had never seen this one. So awesome! I was watching in my office while eating lunch and about choked it was so funny. Hate those bugs! Love this video. Lone is my second favorite hike (after Whitney). Been up there 3 times. Actually, I was up there last August 2021 and the next day did Timponogus and saw Danny and Aaron near the top. It was a rainy and windy day. I said hi, but that's it. I've been regretting ever since not saying how much your videos inspire me. Before Mediocre Amateurs, I never would have considered hiking Timp the day after Lone. Who would do that. You guys would. I was staying with my mom and she thought I was a total idiot. But it was awesome! Keep up the great work guys!!! I'm so grateful!

[@evilbanks]

That was a really cool video! Heading up there tomorrow morning.

[@gilligansisle6914]

Really awesome guys! Please keep it up. I can't believe you guys don't have more viewers. They are missing out!! and what happen to the weird one? It was a great show with the three of you. Its just as good with the two of you but wish they were longer videos! Cheers

[@RealSlopeDude]

Went there on a Memorial Day weekend with my brother and friends many years ago. Much of the way I remember it with snow, ice, sliding, etc. Except we traversed the ridge from the left instead of climbing straight up the cliffs like you. Fun times.

[@shaecarroll3273]

I literally died in laughter at the bug swallowing part 😂😂😂

[@jayphilipwilliams]

I don't even bother watching your videos before clicking like. It's just easier to get it out of the way first.

[@vashusan1984]

Looks like you you guys found Pete's Staircase. My fav way to get up to the summit, I love cutting out all that extra trail. Really enjoying all the vids, just been addicted to watching them all. Getting stoked for this season in the Wasatch!

[@DBPCINC]

Man, it's pretty sketch getting up that thing, definitely not something you should choose to downclimb! I'm glad you can rappel down most of it if you have ropes afterward.

[@vashusan1984]

@@DBPCINC It's actually the designated repel for the free gear routes up there at the cirque. And you're right, not a good down climb!

[@DBPCINC]

@@vashusan1984 Well yeah, the rappel rings are right at the junction between Collin's highway and the routes.

[@vashusan1984]

@@DBPCINC I've wanted to climb up there for a long time tackle some of the sweet moderate lines, but haven't got to it yet.

[@tnewcomb74011]

L one Peak is the monarch of the Wasatch Mountains. This rugged 11,000+ foot summit is clearly visible from North Salt Lake to Provo. It rises abruptly above the valley floor and affords one the luxury of sitting in a glacial, alpine cirque just miles from the city. The cirque is ringed with near vertical granite walls and offers climbing ranging from Class 3 to 5.10 YDS. Lone Peak is considered by many to be the "hardest" 11,000 foot peak in the Wasatch due to the mileage and elevation gain required to sit atop it's summit

[@scottmcclory8546]

Sorry but Blake nearly throwing up could have been one of funniest 30 seconds I've ever watched on KZbin. Last night i woke up my kids I was laughing so hard. You guys are great, love the videos. Especially the ridge walking.

[@MediocreAmateur]

Thanks!

[@caleshtcincredibles]

LMAO my sides hurt from laughing , I'm a fisherman, wear a facemask dudes, I know they say bugs are good nutrition but they dont go down very easy....lol . Beautiful footage !

[@olivianesterowicz5669]

What happened to Blake? Miss seeing him in your newer videos🙁

[@dannyjbrigs]

Beautiful shots

[@runhardhooah]

Just stumbled upon this as I prepare an ascent of that peak. Definitely won't be scaling the wall though! Good job and good video.

[@MediocreAmateur]

Nicholas S Thanks. Good luck. It's a great time to get up there

[@runhardhooah]

The ascent was a success early this morning. Crampons and ice axe were a must for me though! Haha

[@MediocreAmateur]

Nicholas S Nice work!

[@Summit_Seeker]

@@runhardhooah what date did you do this hike on?

[@Jake._22]

What season did you climb this

[@normiewoo787]

Was that bug thing for real? That was weird.

[@pagewhite61]

That sliding looked like fun!

[@kentuckyproud4575]

Lone Peak Comment!

[@twilliams6282]

I'm laughing my butt off right now and not just because of the garbage bag sledding. It's because of the cologne comment. I said the same thing to my friend yesterday coming down from Red Pine. I know I'm getting close to the bottom when everyone I pass smells like lotion and hairspray. So true!

[@chanelking4203]

i think this is my favorite danny and blake adventure
