Well done boys. That's quite an achievement. Super human really. Interested what dates you did this. Looks like maybe mid to late July? Just wrapped 14 days in the Fitz on the other side a few weeks back poking around the headwaters of Torrey and Dinwoody creeks. It was downright HOT for the 2nd year in a row. As in not good/spooky hot at 10-12k feet. Glaciers are melting fast and it's a tragedy. Anyhoo keep up the unreal, harrowing human feats!

In my mind there is nothing mediocre about you guys. Your fitness level is amazing. I sometimes think you edit the video down from 7-10 days of work to make it look like you do all that in one day. Thats the only way I can imagine being able to do it. I am 70 years old so that may have something to do with that view. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you.

Nice job bagging the Peak!
Question for you: In many of your videos I see people wearing what appears to be either knee-high socks, or leg warmers. Its hard to tell which they are due to the gaiters. Id be interested to know which they are and if you have any recommendations or product links.

As an even more mediocre amateur I love watching your videos for inspiration on future adventures. I find myself constantly looking at your gear. Particularly shoes. What shoes are you choosing for something like this that requires running, boulder hopping, wet rock and scrambling/climbing?

Excellent video. Great job! I've gone through both Tourist Creek & Wells Creek. Went up Wells when water was low and didn't need climbing gear. I still prefer Tourist Creek. Wells was scary.

You guys can greatly expand your possibilities by learning to paragliding and using lightweight equipment. Run/climb up and fly down. The entire setup can weigh as little as 1 kg.

Golly your videos are spectacular. However this one was a little scary. FWIW these videos don't need to be extreme for me to love em. Just keep stoking on the landscapes and peaks.

Amazed how shitty you guys eat and are still fit enough to do this stuff. You should probably get a CAC scan and see if your goos and proceed junk is causing disease.

I'd love to know more about that rappel setup. It looks like a cross-loaded carabiner and some nuts left behind, but is that part of a retrieval setup?

great trip report. The wind rivers is by far the best hiking in the continental USA. Most remote and challenging area. Love that hike

Noob question: How does it work with the rock hooks and the carabiners? Did you just leave them there? Were they already there?

By the way I just noticed that you got a haircut in between your Gannett attempts. Was all that hair too much weight? Haha

how do people get the rope down from the anchor point? do you just pull it through when you've made it through the move?

It blows when you can't complete a hike/summit the first time. It's a long, lonely, very quiet ride back home.

Come out to the Cascades in Washington. Some gnarly jagged peaks are beckoning for the Mediocre crew to ascend them.
