Great Work as Usual! The only thing I don't personally agree with is: You're always flying around doing hikes as fast as possible. Is there any time to really enjoy it? I totally understand hikes like Rainer where you had to go super fast to get it done in a day, but I've seen other videos where you're done by early afternoon cause you whipped it out so fast in the morning. I would have rather made a day out of it and enjoyed it more and not just race back to my couch, per say. I used to go as fast as I could, but I started to realized how much I was missing along the way. that's all I'm saying. Love the Videos Though! :)

I have watched nearly all of your videos and am amazed at how poorly you and your compatriots are at bringing/carrying extra emergency gear. I used to do what you guys do but not as extreme, but I always carried extra clothing, water or a filter, emergency bivy gear, ropes to rapel with instead of down climbing. Don't get me wrong, you guys are amazing and i love to watch your adventures. They bring me back to the good old days. Climb on! but be safe so I can continue to watch the adventures. ja

Great vid as usual except it was way to short for where you are. It'd be brilliant if one time you could do a 'gear you use vid, shoes, packs, etc' when you've got a rainy day inside maybe. Love your productions keep it up! Oh and I couldn't help but notice your hair seems to be getting longer. sort it out chief lol. All the best; )

Out of curiosity, what is it that you like about doing these insane distances all at once? Is it the challenge? Lack of time? Me personally, I would be in too much discomfort to enjoy the hike and take in the scenery! I'm curious to hear your take! It's absolutely amazing how fit you are!

You guys should come to Southern California and attempt Cactus To Clouds. Its an 11 mile one way hike up at 10, 834 foot peak called Mount San Jacinto. Total elevation gain is 10, 400 feet. Just 160 feet short of 2 verticle miles

By the looks of the weather I think I was on this part of the route at the same time as you (did you start out on Saturday 7-Sep-19. Couldn't see a thing for most of the morning. Looking forward to the rest of the route.

Nice to see you in my backyard. Looking forward to the next installments!
Before I saw your video I wasn't even aware that there is also a Walkers Haute Route in addition to the classical (ski) mountaineering one.

Having done that trip at a more leisurely pace, we found the guide book and painted route markers along with the 2 Swiss maps made route finding quite easy. It's a fabulous trip and worth taking your time. Cheers.

Impressible trip, especially given that you added all the video back/forth scenes that must add miles to the length. I hiked this route several times over the years, so appreciate the running of it.

Yes! I just started following you on Strava and noticed these jaunts way out in the Alps. Looking forward to the rest of the videos and hoping you got to experience some sun at some point.

Best of luck! I ran this in 2. 5 days in 2017. I think 5 days is a much smarter and more enjoyable plan! Its a beautiful route, and the euro style of staying at hotels is.

Im trying to tell what time of the year you did this. Snowfields are gone, but trees arent turning. Late summer? Total lack of tourists tells me mid September or so.

It should probably be said that this is the 'walking haute route'. Don't go to Europe asking for the Haute route and expect this. I mean not that one would.

Have you tried CalTopo to plan your outings? Pretty accurate mileage and elevation gain every time. I use it a lot for the Sierra in California.

Epic! Especially considering all of the miles, elevation, route finding and camera work you put into it. Looking forward to the next video!
