Haha thanks!

I started a series os snowrunner-esque drives lol

I'm glad to have inspired you! That's what this channel is here for!

huh. i don't get it...

Which is Peak 2? Not sure I follow the question...

@@BrianSweeney1985 mt. sopris is a twin peak summit, which means you could hike past the east summit down the saddle half a mile to the west summit, which might be a little bit higher but it seems like they are the same elevation of 12,965’ but the west summit might be 12,966’ sorry for the confusion.

yes you have

@@robertjaycox8488 we made up for it listening to eclipse right before the total solar eclipse happened.

Nope. It's pretty obvious where you can fall to your death or grievous injury. Basically anywhere past the keyhole.

@@BrianSweeney1985 gust of wind blow you off hah

I doubt if a rope would survive the weather. Apparently there used to be a bolted steel cable on some other aspect of the mountain, but they removed it because it tended to serve as lightning rod.

You mean more trash 🗑️ on trail.hope not take better care of the mountain environment.

I don't recall encountering and trash on the trail.

I believe it. I see so much trash on trails, especially in 2020 when everybody decided “let’s get outside” but they forgot to respect the beauty of the outdoors and I always came back with excess trash from others on my hikes.

Good luck and have fun!

The seat backs don't fold forward unless you flip the seat benches down. Maybe I misunderstand the question?

Brian Sweeney nope I was confused. Ones with 3rd row seating have a different 2nd row and they will fold in half

@@BMOON19 oh fascinating! There's so many different 4runners it's bewildering in some ways!

And to address your headroom concerns, part of my objective was to have that dedicated storage area for things that never really leave the car under the shelf, so maintaining some headroom was an objective but had to be balanced with the underneath storage.

Brian Sweeney I totally agree. Don’t currently own a 4Runner just doing some research. My biggest concern is the length of the platform as I am 6’3

I've run that section in an unmodified Xterra and an unmodified 4runner. Jeep should have no trouble.

And the stock clearance on those vehicles is like 10" and camera is mounted on the lowest piece of plastic I could find, so depth is less that 1 foot for sure. I imagine depth varies, but it's always been fine during hiking/4-wheelin season.

Thanks for the good trail info. The Wrangler had an easy time going through the water, which was close to a foot deep at the most. You mounted your GoPro somewhere near/on your front bumper?! Wowza, that's why the view is so near!

The camera exaggerates! It's steep but it's nowhere near vertical. Good hiking shoes can smear the whole way with almost no need for edging. It's certainly somewhat exposed but it's non-technical.

Just realized my comment makes no sense - I was thinking I was replying to actual video footage of the climb and not this flyover. That's what I get for using my phone instead of getting onto the computer. Anyway, my sentiment still stands - it's steep but not technical.

hahahah no

@@BrianSweeney1985 I think in some places it is about 69% grade. Not vertical, but pretty darn steep. 😵‍💫

6'1" - 6'2" thereabouts. fits me fine. you'll wanna cleanup your space - no shoes clothes duffles whatever laying around toward your feet cuz it's close, but its comfortable.

Brian Sweeney that’s what I am. Generally it would be just me sleeping on one side while I’m at work leaving the other side for gear but at some point my wife will be camping with me. Thanks for the reply!

Glad you like it!

Lay a heavy wool blanket down over the platform, put a 20-degree two-man sleeping bag on top of that, and then put your personal 0-degree bag on top of that. If it gets truly cold, you get into the two-man bag inside of the 0-degree bag. I actually found the 0-degree bag to be more than enough with an overnight low of like 10. The two-man bag then serves as an extra cushion, but it's nice to know it's there in case you get cold. I also had a window cracked all night to keep frost under control. I thought it was pretty comfortable overall.

Also, we had Thermarests inside of the two-man bag.

O good glad you found this one - I was just getting ready to link it in the other post. We take her hiking/biking/skiing as often as we can. Each time we play it by ear: she's off leash as long as she's good, back on the leash if she starts to get too distracted and stops paying attention to us. We got her started off-leash by bringing her to a very mellow backcountry area where we would have nothing to worry about aside from Storm: no objective hazards, incapable of avalanching, decent weather, etc... As you can see in the video we started off by erecting a short dog run between my wife and I using two climbing harnesses, some some, a ten foot lead and a carabiner to let the lead run freely along the length of the rope. This was kind of a mess, so we eventually ditched the whole roving dog run concept, but the overarching steps are the same. Person A descends a ways while person B waits from a safe spot (just like safe avy terrain practices) while restraining the doggy. Once person A gives the signal, person B releases the doggy and follows from a safe distance while person A congratulates the approaching doggy and offers a bunch of fresh grilled chicken upon arrival. Starting the dog off in an environment where we are vastly more proficient (at least downhill) was key to teaching her that she needs to pay attention to our whereabouts. She's still not perfect but she has learned to keep track of us while off leash and her recall is constantly improving. In serious avy terrain we would keep her on leash on the climb because were too slow on the climb to keep her interested in chasing us. On the descent (for skiing and mtb) we're sufficiently fast that she enjoys chasing us and doesnt get too distracted. Also be aware of your dogs capabilities. I can ski terrain much steeper and firmer than my dog is comfortable in. Be careful that you figure out what slopes your dog can handle. Also, consider checking into an avy beacon for your dog. Pieps/Black Diamond make a dog beacon which broadcasts on a separate frequency so you can prioritize your partners over the dog, but the dog is still locatable in the event of a slide.

Brian Sweeney okay sweet! Haha yes I see you got a little tangled there but I loved the idea of it , safety first right ! And I will totally be looking into that dog beacon for more serious terrain. I’ll probably find a mellow mountain face to start , so excited to see how my girl does !

Finally added some notes on the plans.

My aim was never to dissuade anyone from anything, but at the same time I always respect someone who knows when to back down in the mountains! Either way, bear in mind that GoPro cameras have a very wide angle which often makes things look steeper. I also have gone out of my way to edit out all of the boring stuff (there was plenty, I assure you!). You might consider just starting down the path and turning around whenever you start to get uncomfortable. Alternatively, just go hang out at the lake and enjoy the Diamond. Cheers!

Thanks man!

They're about 6 miles away. Look at this map drive.google.com/open?id=1V14-JuVA9zazNb8r6wBwFYpK_KI&usp=sharing and find the spot labeled Ice Bulge or Lincoln's Throat.
