We climbed Mount Rainier in Washington on August 5th and for Christof it was a day that he’s thought about for a while. We decided to climb the mountain in one push from the parking lot. It’s a lot of mountain to cover in one day with 9,000 ft of elevation gain between us and the summit. In the end every step and every view was awesome. Rainier National Park never disappoints.

@@alexander-ky9gk there is a world of difference between "hiking" and the technical climbing that is Rainier. I can do 9miles in less than 2hrs with over 3000ft of gain and loss easy. I've also climbed 14ers and done some technical climbing. At 11000ft, you only have access to less than half of oxygen as you'd regularly get. From that point on, walking takes as much effort as running on sea level. With crampons on your feet, a hard boots that's much heavier even than the heaviest hiking boots, while doing glacier traverse...going 1mph is pretty fast. Regularly folks, like you, take 2 full days to summit rainier and back, with the second day being at least 10 hours of gruesome ups and downs. I'm sorry, your 4 miles of 2000+ doesn't really compare unless you are talking about something like My Denali.

Yup. All you'd have to do is climb the tallest tree in Florida. You think you know what flat is, then you show up to Florida and the most steep hill you find is like a 2 degree incline. It almost disobeys the laws of physics. I wouldn't be surprised if some study concluded that Florida is so flat, not even the curvature of the earth applies.

I have always wanted to do Rainier but didn't have time/$$ for a two day adventure but this video inspired me and two experienced friends to do the one push this past weekend! Was an absolute blast and fun to compare our fitness (which we *thought* was pretty good to yours ;). We ended up leaving Paradise at 10:30PM, summiting at 9:15AM and getting off around 3:30PM. We had some route finding issues on the way up in the morning which probably cost us an hour in total and then it was so darn hot by 10AM that hydration (needed over 6L in the heat total) problems slowed the descent considerably. Big props to you guys for making it look so easy but as a warning to those thinking about it at home, this is a serious mountain where you can get yourself into trouble very quickly. It's also a real roll of the dice with the weather/conditions, no parties summited the two days before or one after.

Brings back memories. In '69 I lived and worked at Paradise - first job out of high school, and taught the climbing school course at Paradise that beginners were required to take before climbing to Muir, then summit next day. Did the peak in one day, as I had to be back at work down below! Part of job was carrying trash from Muir to Paradise, and we were 'competitive' - my record pack weight was 165 pounds. Once we use a rescue sled to transport a 'gumby', (as we called dead climbers - because often they were frozen into odd positions), down to Paradise. The frozen body was wrapped in an orange plastic tarp, and when we reached the dirt path above Paradise a woman tourist asked if she could sit on the sled (we were putting the wheel on at that point) for a picture. We obliged, and then she asked what we were carrying. Not sure, but I think she still is screaming and running to this day. Good times!

I went with two out of shape guys who were so slow we had to sleep in the crater and descend the next day. It was quite the adventure.

What you accomplished approaches elite athlete levels. Congratulations and thanks for posting.

I have been binge watching through them whenever I get a chance. Getting in a few episodes now to fuel my own hype for this weekend's adventure. Cloud Peak. I've gathered you guys will take suggestions from viewers and I'd like to make one of my own you should definitely not pass up. The Cloud Peak Bomber lolli is one of the most beautiful, and fulfilling hikes Wyo has to offer. Cloud is 15th most prominent in the lower 48 and Bomber offers historical significance as the sight of a WWII B-17 flying fortress crash sight. Much of the wreckage is still there. I believe the whole route is about 24 miles with around 5k gain (I know that's not much for you beasts). You can add in Black Tooth and Mt Woolsey to add a few miles and some more vert. Its great to see your amount of views and subs is steadily going up. Have you guys thought about a viewer participation segment? You seem to have viewers from all your favorite areas and it'd pretty spectacular to share just a few miles of trail with you guys. Keep up the good work and I cannot wait until the next one. Onward and Upward!!

Well, I guess you guys are still active on this channel. For some reason I assumed the channel wasn't. I'm a moron. Awesome stuff. Love your videos. Just had surgery a few weeks back and I have been watching your videos over and over again. It aggravates the crap out of my wife so thank you for that:) I started walking again today and am looking forward to pushing myself to get back into shape. Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration and that you guys are far from amateurs. 👍👍👍👍👍

Summarizes the experience very nicely! Stirs recollections of my trip up with RMI. We did the “pancake seminar”- three nights at Camp Muir with some work in crevasse rescue. Back in those days, my climbing buddy and I could gain ~2500’/hour, but this terrain isn’t easy. For you to gain around a couple thousand feet per hour average is quite impressive! Congratulations on a successful BIG day.

I’m about to do a climb with RMI in September. Y’all did in one day what we’re gonna do in 3 which is both nuts, and also encouraging. Makes me feel like with 3 days of time to get up and down, we’ve got no excuses not to make it to the summit and back in one piece.

What a fantastic journey to take us on. That was beautiful-the scenery and the effort. I'm taking some screenshots for desktop backgrounds. That exposed pinnacle of rock at about 6:15 with the layered and foggy landscape behind is a phenomenal scene. Love it. Keep up the good work.
