Thank you so MUCH for shooting this series in landscape mode rather than portrait mode!
Spectacular scenery. Thank you for sharing.
I really like how you are positive even after pointing and sharing dangers and not such great stuff!
Spectacular! Hope your reunited with your ice axe tomorrow
The Woods Creek bridge was much more fun when it had wooden slats for the deck with a few broken or missing. A feel bad for everyone who no longer gets to experience that.
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful day! I'm following some guys that are a bit ahead of you, what a difference a few days makes with the snow melt.

Great views today. You guys are doing such a good job documenting the hike and keeping up a great attitude toward life.
Its so amazing to see it likr this when i hiked in 2020 so different. Funny thing for me i uped miles in the sirrea
Such Beautiful scenery!! It's almost a shame that NOBO hikers need to get here so early because this must just be spectacular after the snowmelt when the veg starts greening up... many thanks for letting us peer over your shoulders and take this journey through your eyes....

If they start much later then Oregon and Washington have snow....
These views are breathtaking! Great job 💛✨
You two are awesome! Nice to do that section with that amount of snow. Hoping for the ice axe return!
I 1000000% understand the agonal breathing at the top of the mountain Zoo 😂😂😂😂😂
Always looking forward to your next video, they're awesome!
Always enjoy your videos. Those river crossings had my toes curling. 😅
Beautiful day and you are knocking out the miles!

Bummer on the axe, great snow shots
Nice shots esp of the approach. I always try to recall those landmark peaks on the ascent which has been June 4 me. So much fun glissading 👏. Crossing creeks with snow banks on both sides can be tricky. Reminder: label ur gear (name, phone #) for easier return.
Congrats on EIGHT HUNDO!!! 🎉🥳
Nice to you smiling every day!
killing those miles and passes !! Keep it up.
Just spectacular!
Is that sign at the sawmill pass junction? I remember coming up in 2017, and encountering a group which had turned around at the woods creek ford to the JMT/PCT. (No bridge - the suspension you crossed is 4 miles down river.) I camped close by worried I might have the same result. However, as usual if you can get up early to beat the days melt it temporarily reduces the flow levels making it safer to cross. I remember getting across easy, stoked to see the highway sign and made my way up/over pinchot into the upper basin. (The Kings watershed you crossed to get to Mather thats accessible via Taboose.)
Congrats on 800!
Awesome videos, thank you so much. Did you have boots or still trailrunners on? And dis you use crampons or microspikes?

Marg & I are still rocking trailrunners and microspikes! We have crampons if the passes are really intense / icy!

I know, right? For may hiking i used a whippet + 1 trekking pole as my poles, plus a regular axe I once let a hiker who didn't have an axe use the whippet up Mather. (Keeping the regular axe for myself. Not ideal but better than just poles. We all made it safely.

She doesn't use it anyway. At this point she was still glissading without it. That's probably how she lost it. I have never seen anybody glissade with their ice axe on the back of their pack.

Rach was able to cross Mather Pass with just trekking poles because she’s an absolute beast. The rest of us had our ice axes ready.

@@RachandDanOutdoorsyou guys made it to mammoth? The axe isn't a measure of fitness/strength, it's an insurance policy I once fell sideways on whitney, sliding down headfirst. Classic land on your axe, let it catch, swing you around like a boat on anchor and came to a stop Another time the descent was too icy for plunge stepping, and way too fast for glissading, so I self arrest glissaded the whole way down
