The High Route | The North Face

[@TheGingerRunner]

Stoked to have been able to put this story together, thank you TNF! No matter how many times I’ve watched it, I still have NO CLUE how Kaytlyn and Jenny did it and made it look easy. This feat is BONKERS. 🤯. (FYI - Director's Cut coming Summer 2023!)

[@csrunner6296]

So awesome!

[@marrunslow3815]

Stunning , powerful and AMAZING!! Thank you Ethan 🌲🌲🌲

[@TheNorthFace]

Thank you for being a part of the journey!

[@raphaelkinney]

The production on this is so sick Ethan, thank you for helping tell their story!

[@sandstromj]

This was so good. Good work Ethan and TNF. And such great female athletes.

[@nicolehegewald5468]

Love love love. Such badass ladies crushing it out there on the trail!

[@shaggyrunner]

Awesome movie Ethan! Congrats Kaytlyn and Jenny! 👏

[@anthonymendoza1327]

I have done the northern section of this route linking the Redoubt High Route and the Pickets Traverse. It is bonkers difficult. It took us two weeks to complete. I would agree that the camp at Luna Col is the most beautiful place that I ever camped. My God, what a place.

[@lisatonerstudio]

Love you, Jenny! Proud to be your cousin and I have so many good memories of the trips of our childhood :)

[@mattabbott6303]

Ultraneering!! Love it. So very well done all. A true magnum opus!

[@NS-wh1cx]

What a couple of bad asses… insanely cool route and accomplishment. Holy hell.

[@MarkoRicho]

Brilliant production this, really enjoyed it. Congrats from UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍

[@bettinakohler3080]

Another master piece film by TheGingerRunner! I was amazed by what Kaytlyn and Jenny achieved but even more so by seeing the scenery and profound beauty of nature they moved in. Thank you for letting us being a part of this by producing this amazing movie. We are such tiny speckles in this breathtaking space called world. “Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.”

[@tyjohnsrud]

The spirit of adventure is alive and well in these two incredible athletes! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidlaney9050]

Incredible work all around. Probably the coolest mountain/run project ever.

[@jeanyves4220]

Simply stunning, and I'm talking much more about their badassery than the fabulous vistas and stout editing.

[@debrunsfar153]

Amazing landscape Kaytlyn and Jenny traversed. Unfathomable what they accomplished, watching the video was breathtaking. Ok excited for a longer version of this. It felt like a teaser and needs to be a full length film. Well done ladies, Ginger Runner and The North Face.

[@marklishmael]

What an awesome incredible adventure in an amazingly beautiful landscape!! Jenny and Kaytlyn are super badass for sure!

[@matthewvanleeuwen9086]

Awesome video about an absolutely amazing accomplishment!

[@johan452]

I am speechless. What a great movie by TheGingerRunner about two amazing athletes making it seem easy. Looking much forward to a longer version!

[@danterrarun]

Oh man. What a breathtaking and thrilling film! I want more of that! 💚

[@tomhausmann8993]

this film is so amazing and inspiring. But the biggest WOW to me - beside the performance of the two is the effortlessness and happiness they spread!!!! Thank you a lot for sharing this adventure with us

[@runformangos]

This is awesome! You just ran through the coolest places in WA state in 7 days. Made us homesick for the North Cascades. Enjoyed watching so much, even reading the Resources page at the end. Nice work and inspiring!

[@OscarGolf21]

Absolutely crushed it in some gorgeous backcountry. Congratulations!

[@angelakuzior8575]

WOW!! Such incredible badassery by two amazing women! I am inspired by you both, in awe of the stunning challenge you crushed and the beauty of the back country of my home state. Thank you for sharing this with us and congratulations!! 🥳🔥🙌

[@imtoolazyyyy]

My goodness these two are such an inspiration. The positive attitudes amidst not so great conditions, the complete confidence in each other, the JOY they have in the outdoors, wow!

[@Freetrail]

10/10 - Incredible film!!

[@TheNorthFace]

And a 10/10 adventure! 🏔

[@MrBootsElectrik]

Truly inspiring. TNF has some pure talent on their team. I watched this with my six year old daughter. She “likes their outfits.” ☺️

[@JulieGayheart]

Amazing all the way around from Kaytlyn and Jenny accomplishing this amazing athletic adventure to the way the story was told in the film. Thank you to everyone!

[@jonathanlacerte2473]

The terrain and the partnership and the epic adventure all were stories of their own, full on joy tears at the end of this. I’ve felt this partnership with very few people and it is something to be treasured

[@sagePerspective]

Truly wild! What a great story. love how there were challenges gnarly feats to overcome, but also made it look like a lot of it was a ton of fun in the process.

[@bdwelle43]

love this kind of off-trail high route work -- well done!!

[@walterwadlow9438]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for giving us this amazing glimpse into your incredible adventure in one of the most beautiful ranges in the world!!!

[@benrogoza3838]

SO SICK! Incredible adventure, achievement, attitudes, film-making. The whole thing is mind blowing!

[@randygodfrey7809]

Intensely beautiful and mind boggling! I shared this with a thru hiker/climber friend. She commented " My primary complaint: it wasn't long enough! I'd have gladly watched a full length movie about this route!!!! So incredible". I 100% agree.

[@freedomtour7974]

This was very inspiring. I hope the North Face continues to support women with this much determination, grit and skill. As someone who lives in the Cascades….this is a daunting task! Amazing work!!

[@christianhicks210]

Amazing positivity. Makes me want to go out and try something big. Definitely not at this level but still big.

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

It was an epic journey with amazing landscapes. Nature at its best and nicely captured. Great job for the editing too

[@walterhogie]

Loved this! What an awesome adventure with 2 badass women!!

[@giftalp]

Magical landscape. Amazing work Athletes!

[@jakesreilly]

this is so badass congrats to you both. when yall finished that looked like you were just starting!

[@CivisCreativeFilms]

Wow! Such an epic adventure!

[@BaylorSig81]

Awesome documentary!!

[@christopherlee9902]

Truly incredible. It's an amazing accomplishment and what I'm so impressed with is how they both spent a whole week doing long days that are both physically and mentally draining, with little sleep, and they still maintained such positive and playful attitudes.

[@jeffdelro5161]

"Today is leg day..." 😆. Mind-blowing feat...awesome video.

[@saltydog6241]

So impressive!

[@mtnrunner2]

Absolutely amazing ❤

[@ericlubell8804]

FANTASTIC!!!

[@themeatpopsicle]

I am constantly floored with how fast people can move through the mountains like this

[@terraauthentic]

Wow! So inspiring! Goog job for the 2 participants! ❤

[@kaiwright5250]

This is absolutely insane I didn’t even know projects like this were a thought in people’s minds, major cudos to these women. They’re mental and technical capacity is otherworldly.

[@suzannetapper2489]

What an amazing adventure. Just awesome!

[@dadnomad]

Dream route. Always on my mind.

[@dad102]

This is so cool. I am so impressed. You girls are inspiring. And humbling. My whole mood has been elevated. I subscribed after watching this. "The last people who did this took them a month. And then they died the next day. So we are gonna do it in a week." What balls.

[@ianbritton7534]

Fabulous ladies. Congratulations.

[@wcfortune]

So so amazing!

[@caitlin.hardee]

Total crushers. Amazing badassery!!

[@matthiassventoest6800]

I don't know where to begin.. incredible..

[@thomasrobertfitness]

What an amazing endurance athletes. I did a 3 hour hike in Switzerland on the Pitzol Mountain and that was quite challenging as well. (For me) I literally don’t understand how can be you have such an outstanding endurance and mental toughness to do such things. I’m amazed

[@HasansWanderings]

The North Face has always been an inspiration to adventurers.

[@Poncharello211]

Well done you two what a feat!

[@patriciabarry963]

Stupendous spirit, beauty, joy, skill!

[@dgunde13gunderson78]

guys, (girls) thanks for this great video. I know (sort of) the dangers of this place..it's absolutely remote. I had a terrible accident on twin sister back in 1980, soloing and fell off, skull broken, lost my toes. it's so easy to get hurt even when you're young and crazy. thanks for suceeding. Cheers to all bellinghamsters God bless DG

[@Rain_power]

The elevation gain over such a short period is insane! I need a rest day after 3000 feet :)

[@napeekapunpimtongnara9111]

It is a very interesting story telling of a journey.

[@philipking3010]

so damn good! congrats all involved

[@followtiffsjourney]

This is so inspiring! Congrats ladies!💜

[@alexmorse2157]

amazing and so inspiring!

[@craigl9727]

Awesome ladies…

[@Clando69]

What bag is she using? It looks like a verto 27 but has the running vest front straps, is it some custom/prototype setup? I would love something like that

[@TheNorthFace]

Great eye! These packs were modified specifically for our athletes using the Verto 27 Backpack modified with the hip belt and front strap storage from our Summit Run Training Pack 12! Both great options for your next adventure.

[@xbonezds]

Absolute top notch film by Ethan. And hats off to Kaytlyn and Jenny. Anyone know what shoes Kaytlyn was wearing?

[@TheNorthFace]

Those are the Flight Vectiv Guard Futurelight trail running shoes.

[@stephenlambert5831]

beautiful!

[@p0t4t0nastick]

@TheNorthFace Did they use the same pair of shoes for all the terrain? Also i'm seeing krampons on trail running shoes, I didn't know that was a feasible thing to do, what's that setup? Thanks!

[@heribantomas]

Just amazing 😍😍

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

Wow, I'm just getting into this world and that was one amazing trip. The only problem was the video was too short.

[@JasonGriffithWA]

We were camped at the Dome/Dana col when Jenny and Kaytlyn cruised by with the boys. I am still trying to understand how fast they were moving through. And in high spirits. Totally crazy.

[@rabinkhatri9550]

Incredible!

[@psychedeliccheese]

This was so fun!

[@clarkebrogger2556]

Unbeleeeve vid. Thanks Ethan, TNF, and K and J!!! Did you both even get tired????

[@UniSkibum]

What pack is Kaytlyn using at 3:41? It looks like a verto with a running harness. Where can I find more information on it?

[@ericonnen4367]

North Face Phantom 38 it looks like. I just ordered one haha

[@t3hhollywood]

i'm fairly certain they are custom made by attaching the running pack shoulder straps to a verto. badass

[@TheNorthFace]

Great eye! These packs were modified specifically for our athletes using the Verto 27 Backpack modified with the hip belt and front strap storage from our Summit Run Training Pack 12!

[@UniSkibum]

@@TheNorthFace I would love to see this produced.

[@dennismerritt778]

impressive indeed!!!

[@PerryKiblerboy-of-destiny]

Amazing scenery and super inspiring. And yet…my one take away was: wait, they make peach gummies?

[@kategiles7503]

Awesome 🙌
