Pyramid Peak - Colorado 14er Dayhike

[@shawneverts4391]

That shot with the mountain goat peaking around the mountain at you is very cool!

[@delontereid7584]

I have been watching your videos all morning while teleworking, and the content is nothing short of awesome 😁😃. Thanks

Great job Dr. Foor. Outstanding! Be safe. I look forward to more of Your videos.

[@FoorTrek]

Thanks John. Please subscribe!

[@kevinlavelle2751]

Glad you have the comments turned on! Great job man! Amazing footage as always. Just over a year ago I found your videos, and never hiked a 14er at that point. Now I’ve got 11 14er summits! Always love your videos for inspiration, entertainment, and a part of my pre-hike research.

[@FoorTrek]

Thanks Kevin! Congrats on you accomplishments and here's to many more!

[@KELLYKH]

WOW - awesome climb! Great job. Those mtn goats sure have a great view :)

[@radrocknroll1]

Been really enjoying your videos! You offer such great beta on the routes and can tell you truly enjoy these mountains and talking to your audience. Thanks so much.

[@kirkbrunso3113]

Doc I think this is the best work that you have done. Resolution, framing up shots, no uncomfortable motion, editing and narration great. Spectacular from beginning to end - it’s good to hear you breathing a bit heavy up there. Thank you Thank you for these adventures I hope they continue into the Fall. Ive hiked the valley over to CB several times but have only ‘looked’ up. Appreciate!

[@FoorTrek]

Thank you so much Kirk. I put a lot of effort making the videos as best as I can when I'm having the challenges of going up up uphill. :-)

[@marcusmartin511]

Congratulations! What an accomplishment!

[@FoorTrek]

Thank you Marcus!

[@marcusmartin511]

@@FoorTrek We watch all your videos before we do a 14er. We are 17/58. We find them extremely informative and as important: INSPIRATIONAL! Thank you.

[@GianniPhat]

Great video! Love the enthusiasm!

[@FoorTrek]

As a 14er Finisher, I'm stoked to reach summits.

[@ncoatney331]

13:22 Now...this! is what you call a headwall...of snow! XD epic narration!

[@FoorTrek]

LOL - Glad someone appreciate the comedy in a treacherous situation

[@ryanmiles8056]

Snowmass/maroon bells looks like a painting in the background at times. Beautiful footage. Congrats! To me, you’re like the Mr. Rodgers of the hiking world. You’re so cool. RESPECT!

That has to be one of the most beautiful summit views I've seen. Congratulations on the hike and thanks for sharing!

[@gregb3457]

You take the anxiety out of finding the trail. You are awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it, especially the G.O.A.T..... The other vids I've watched on this mountain are not equal to yours. You are patient, you find the correct path. You make it look, seem easy this way. I'm 75 yo, do you think I can do it too?

[@FoorTrek]

Greg, this year I've been running ultras around the world. I've met men and women running marathons and half marathons in their 70's. Extraordinary human beings. Reach out to me with specific questions for any journey you decide to take.

[@joelombrdo]

Beautiful views. I'd love to tackle some of those hikes myself.

[@johnganshow5536]

Wow, Awesome, sketchy in places, not sure if I would do it, but I'd try. Thanks for sharing!!

[@thesuperioraffection4502]

Very impressive! Love that area of Colorado. Seems the mountain goat was either looking for a new housemate in the city or was looking to evict a city dweller from his 14'er pad. Don't think I'd turn my back on him as I think it was the latter. :-)

Very nice video. Beautiful views!

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Amazing Dr. don't know how you do it, can't help but chicken out on those really exposed climbs where my life is in the balance. It really seems to be one of the most beautiful places to hike or climb in that area around Aspen. The mountain goats in the Rockies are interesting creatures when you realize how at home they are up in the mountains and that they see us humans every day of their lives climbing those mountains. They know every bit of the route because they see us do it every day of their lives the exact same way. They could hang out anywhere think they must find us to be curious the reason they hang out on the routes we take up the mountains. Thanks for the video always enjoy them.

[@FoorTrek]

Goats like salt....and food. Hence their interest. I'll let you research the rest. If I recall correctly, goats are not indigenous to Colorado.

[@CultureTrekking]

Very cool! I'm trying to train for my first 14er, long way to go, but determined to get past my altitude sickness problem.

[@FoorTrek]

You can always get a prescription from you doctor to assist.

[@theonlynikki27]

Love this!! Thank you for your channel. I've been trying to move out there for a couple years now and this is keeping me motivated!!!

[@FoorTrek]

Thank you for the kind comment and for being a subscriber.

[@jacks5463]

Hopefully I'll be there one day! Just did Sherman for my 4th yesterday!

[@FoorTrek]

Congrats Jack!

[@aceyorba]

Wow ..that one was steep..great views

[@nudetaynehatwobble]

Congrats Brandon! The bells, capitol, the crestones and the pyramid are the ones eluding me. Pyramid almost gives me vertigo looking at the pictures.

[@habaceeba]

Pyramid is not so bad. Just take a friend and don't be too lazy to backtrack when it looks sketchy.

[@FreeRangeMiller]

I love your excitement on the summit haha

[@FoorTrek]

I was thrilled for the accomplishment!

[@nevadahiker6661]

And I thought some parts of Longs were sketchy. These last few 14'ers you did have been nightmarish!

[@FoorTrek]

Just wait....

[@MrJoeTheShow23]

gorgeous views!!

[@FoorTrek]

Thanks Joe!

[@Tbpker22]

Magnificent accomplishment! You certainly must have many Mountain Goat genes in your anatomy.....

[@FoorTrek]

Goats do hike the trails LOL

[@rally618]

Should change name to Mountain Goat Peak LOL. Lots of em.They all looked skinny. At least they don't attack or bite like so many other critters. Great job in climbing ,looks like a Very difficult one,esp. the way the rocks are. Looks like no solid footing.

[@mikelatta484]

I did Pyramid once. Once. My favorite is Sneffels.

[@andrewbrown4211]

I submitted Pyramid yesterday! What an amazing day. Hope to run across you on the trail someday. Congrats!!

[@FoorTrek]

Congrats Andrew! It's one fun route!

[@branzo79]

Yo, what a sick climb session!

Awesome. Pretty excited up there huh?? LOL.

Try it

[@ryanpaul8588]

Congrats! Pyramid is one of my favorites! Don't you love the goats leading the way? Did you wonder out onto the diving board?

[@FoorTrek]

I did....no video. I think that would freak many out.

[@sylpascale7673]

Going down looks scarier than coming up

[@DavidHancock]

Are you building up to take on Capitol? These hikes keep getting harder. But you've got me inspired. Last week I completed Sherman and I'm planning on Elbert next week.

[@canyonoverlook9937]

4:59 Is that the Himalayas? I would be a bit scared hiking that by myself. Did you see anyone on your way up?

[@FoorTrek]

Saw a few people on the way up. More goats though.

[@padrigleamhnach]

Beautiful, but a little too steep for me!

[@YongsungKim]

Amazing!

[@luckettsmegabuc1]

Very impressive. How much water and what other supplies do you carry on this sort of hike?

[@FoorTrek]

My pack can hold 3L and I take 1L of coconut water. I don't remember exact numbers since I have a simple filtration system.

[@PeakbaggersForCancer1]

Wow man, this was insane! I agree with Nevada Hiker....these last few have put most of the others to shame with their technicality and steepness. You are crushing it. What 14er are you saving for last? A tough one or a special one? Or just a random one haha?

[@FoorTrek]

Just wait.....

[@natertots17]

Youuuutube nation! Love your videos, keep up the good work. What kind of altimeter are you using? I bought a garmin instinct recently and I’m disappointed it doesn’t give me exact elevation. Thanks in advance

[@FoorTrek]

I get the elevation numbers from hiking project app and also the 14ers official numbers.

[@89irishfan]

How committing would you say this route is? Also how sketchy would it be for someone with alpine climbing experience but very little 14'er experience to do by themselves?

[@FoorTrek]

You surely can turn around anytime, but the scree slope at 12K is where the hike gets serious. Alpine climbing will certainly help, yet the altitude should be taken into consideration.

[@reyparks]

Congrats! Really enjoy the videos! What type of gloves are you wearing?

[@FoorTrek]

Gardening gloves that have grip. Get em at your local hardware section.

All this summer. Some things you'll just have to wait for. It's worth it.
