Teton Crest Trail // Running One of The Classics

See it all on this classic, bucket list trail. On the TCT you get to enjoy Grand Teton National Park end to end in all its splendor. 38 miles and 9,000ft of trail running and power walking bliss from canyon to shelf to basin, pass and divide. Just remember to bring along a friend in worse shape than yourself. Then you can enjoy this iconic trail at a leisurely pace and really take it all in.

40 miles, 10k climb. I couldn't possibly... "My in-laws are at my house" ok, maybe I could.

[@ymalakha]

I can totally relate

[@jaredgilbert5517]

Yep. I'll take death on a mountain any day!

If your wife sees this video you may be pretty lonely for a while. Im just sayin....

Finally something worth watching on KZbin.

Every single video is that way

It's a bit like Christmas when you guys put something up...

Mediocre Amateurs Drinking Game (It had to be done.): -Take 3 drinks if the video begins with a helicopter ride. Take a drink every time: -Blake is mentioned but not actually present in the video. -Aaron eats a salted nut roll. -Someone makes a joke about perishing. Take two drinks if the phrase “Naked bloated corpse” is mentioned. -Someone has an existential crisis about why they participate. -Someone laments about the planned milage being incorrect -The word “Implode(d)” is used. -Matt talks about bears. -Blake or Christof get left behind. -Blake feels ill. -Danny’s hatred of cold water is mentioned. -Christof subtly flexes about being in some other country just hours before. -Darkness sets in. -Someone eats or mentions a Little Debbie product. Finish your drink if: -Danny pukes (once per episode). (All in good fun. Love y'all's videos! Feel free to add to the list).

This could be fatal for some of their videos.

[@mediumraregaming8238]

I’ve actually seen all of this happen in one video

[@bboss8048]

Bears, what about bears? How could u forget to mention bears in this game?

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

@@bboss8048 I got bears! Every time Matt talks about bears!

[@andreyv1]

Hahaha Christof mentioning he was in another country just hours before. He is a pilot so it makes sense.

[@TheVirtualSherpa]

I think the most under appreciated part of your channel is the b-roll shots. These all take SO much time to shoot and are used for under 2 seconds in most cases. That lake shot at 2:45 is flat out amazing, keep crushing it you are a huge inspiration.

[@fartinmartin00055]

Cool seeing you over here! Your channel and this channel are my two favorites at the moment.

[@lintownboy]

Makes me happy every time you guys upload.

[@gregpirtle5532]

The music starts and its like the opening theme to my happy place.

[@1Deejay7]

Like opening up a new container of ice cream, then silently crying after you've eaten it in record time after its gone. Then going on a hike and having the shits

[@phin422]

@@1Deejay7 Has this... happened to you before?

[@andrewstiff494]

Yes, today is going to be a great day, because another Mediocre Amateurs video was uploaded!! Awesome video, keep up the great work!!

[@supermikey610]

Thank you in-laws for making this video happen

[@shankgolfer7951]

Me on the couch with feet propped up, watching with bowl of chips and beer in hand, "It's only 10 more miles or so Aaron, what's the big deal? Don't wimp out." :) LOL way to hang in there pal!

[@EatmySkrillex]

Nervous for when the in-laws see this!

[@WhereKentWent]

😂 no kidding

[@evan_off_track]

Yeah. I cringed.

[@crlan8434]

Ya i was thinking that Thanksgiving was going to be a little awkward :)

[@jamesp9383]

Yeah it felt like that was a pretty deep and pointed statement, Danny. Signed, A therapist

[@admiralcapn]

Usually when I'm "watching" youtube I'm actually doing something else on the other screen and casually digesting the audio. For MA I prop up the elbows on the desk and just drink in the views and the vibes. You guys are an inspiration and help smooth over the wanderlust between trips west. Also, loving the addition of Chase, but the Search for Blake continues...

[@nansaid9263]

I feel fitter than two hours ago when I first started watching !

[@lcb9807]

You are my favorite crew to watch endlessly on winter days.

[@andrewbarr3378]

Absolutely love it!! Also, only in Utah do people bleep the word ‘ass’, lol

Your videos are always beautiful. This one might be the best!

[@mayinthehouse]

Amazing video, there's nothing like the views in the section on the shelf and then on hurricane pass!!! This was such a treat, I've done the crest trail 3 times and hope to get into good enough shape to do it again. Thanks for always putting out amazing content!

Nice job in one of my favorite parks.

[@davidfantle6721]

Love it! I did that route (reverse direction) 16 years ago with a big sack of photo/video and overnight gear, before climbing the Grand. Now you've got me psyched to go do it again :)

Awesome Video. Love your film quality!

I always look forward to another video from you guys. Can't wait for some skiing this winter.

[@Paramedic772]

I had no idea how awesome it looked up there in the Tetons. I guess I should've known with how dramatic they look from the valley. Great video, thanks!

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Another epic adventure!!

[@brianharder7714]

That's the gnarly extended version. I've only done the route from Death to Cascade. A few hours less but perhaps most of the beauty. Nice work.

[@sohlbergk]

That "shelf" looks fantastic! I didn't even know it exists.

[@normiewoo787]

Wow! This has been on my list for about 2 years now. I did Alaska Basin in a day a few months ago and loved it. Doing my first 50k in May, maybe next Fall I could make this happen. 11 hours seems really fast! Good work, great video - this makes me super excited to do it.

[@roosa68d]

Yep that's how they got that fit, by wishing for it lol

[@scotthammond3230]

Hiked to lake solitude a couple of weeks ago. Really wanted to climb up over paintbrush buy my daughters were exhausted. Kudos for them making it that far.

[@hikingleigh]

I’d love a bonus episode - a behind-the-scenes type thing that shows all your camera set ups, and how you get all those amazing shots. Seriously, yours is one of my favorite KZbin channels!

[@papabeartooth3054]

Very well done video. Having just hiked up Teton Canyon and down Cascade there was a lot of familiar territory. I had aspirations of doing paintbrush pass but we ran out of time. It was nice to see what we missed, maybe next time.

[@30m3]

It's beautiful up there.

[@chrissegers4644]

Sweet Vid, just completed running Mt Hood this summer, looking at doing the Teton Run maybe 2024! Cheers

[@eaglesfannnn]

As someone who's backpacked the trail before this just feels psychotic haha. Also, makes me feel a little better to see you guys not running up Paintbrush because that elevation gain over the divide is really no joke. Love the video, always brightens my day!

[@species5022]

Pretty damn impressive boys!

[@deliakulukundis6568]

Aaron, I hope your friend had fun at the Moab 240 and finished!
