Really nice work: the footage and also the fact that you told it as it was. Sometimes things don't go to plan and being agile in the mountains is key; the fact you guys re-planned as new information (amount of snow, speed, lack of calories, tiredness) etc. surfaced was excellent. The film displays good outdoor skills and choices, so thank-you! Hopefully people watching this will learn some lessons (i.e. even though you downloaded the map onto your GPS watch, you brought good old maps and compasses and new how to use them, just in case!).

I'm having trouble adjusting to the load on the uphills, it feels like only the downs and flats do I come close to something approximating "running".
@JeffPelletier4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! They say fastpacking is "hiking the ups, running the downs, and jogging the flats". So it sounds like you're doing just fine. Just try to keep your pack weight as low as possible and to use poles which really help on the climbs. For the TRT, we had a hard time even running the flats with all of the snow which is one way we really lost time - normally this trail is quite runnable.

October usually can get pretty hairy. You don't want to have to bail in the middle of a long section like Barker to Echo. mid September in my opinion is the best time to go, although you will need to pack more water than usual, as most snow has melted and winter weather hasn't come in yet.
