Yo Brandon, don't think I missed your Yard sale on the snow. Just sliding down and tried to pick yourself to safety. Whoop! And there goes the pick! Great video man! Make more. Please. I am bored due to Covid and need more hikes to watch!

Amazing camera work, amazing performance, beautiful music.. this is one of the best adventure videos i ever watched!

This is incredible Brandon! Keep up the good work. Love these hiking videos.

Insanely well done! The fact you did this on your own and it’s got lots of style is awesome, ik how hard that can be. So thanks. Also, the 1st person audio and piano music reminds me of Minecraft haha

Good job capturing all those camera angles 👍

I LOVED this! The solitude of it made it captivating! This guys a bad ass and makes it look easy!

Always wanted to know about this hike. Thanks for showing us.

Perfect video. Beautiful.

Really nice. Never seen someone capture the pink slab quite this way. Brings back a lot of memories. Sky Pilot is one of my favourites.

So film with a go pro when you hike? And where do you put your drone? Your backpack seems too small to fit a drone.

@@DeeDee-vl2sd I only had two shots in the video with a go pro, the one going up the snow and going down. The rest was shot with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, on a tripod. The drone was in my bag! I was using a Mavic Air 2 so it packs down pretty small.

Amazing stuff man! I’ve been watching through all of your videos and they’re absolutely jaw dropping

Awesome stuff man, can't wait to get back into scrambling and free climbing again

Always wanted to see a more detailed look at sky pilot, you did a great job at showing us the major moments, and again going back down to get the camera is quite the feat. For me would be a turnaround at a good vantage point or before the climb.

Is this a good climb for aspiring/beginner mountaineers? I’ve done a good few overnight trips in the backcountry with my dad and more recently just my friends but I want to get into some more extreme stuff.

I’d say if you’re used to a bit of climbing it’s easy, if you’re used to mostly hiking then it’ll feel hard. Technically it’s not too big of a day (First time I hiked it it was car2car in 6 1/2 hours at a casual pace) but it can get bigger and more real if you’re not used to exposure or heights. I’d recommend easier scrambles first like golden ears or needle peak. If those feel way too easy, then maybe you’d enjoy Sky Pilot!

Hey bud! Thanks for this video. Thinking of doing it this weekend (May 2021) - do you think it's too early in the season to go for it? Also - do you think there's a spot to camp up there?

@BCHiking

If you're okay with hiking mostly snow it'd probably be doable, but not as enjoyable until probably June/July when the snow melts. The scrambly bits at the top wouldn't be too fun with snow in the mix. At around 4:20 in the video just before the pink slabs there's a pretty nice spot that has some flat areas where it looks like some people have camped before. If you look at the drone footage at around 0:15 seconds the camping spot is in the middle of the screen. Might be a bit windy though!

Everything up to the pink slabs is pretty easy, with some rockfall potential at the glacier. Once you’re up at the slabs it’s solid rock but its sheer drops on either side with some slippery talus sections above. If you’re not solid on 4th class scrambling it might be a little nerve wracking in some sections!

I’ve seen people go off route on the pink slab and it looks pretty dicey if you do. Easy to rack up real exposure if you traverse out climbers right too far. Agree with class 4 scramble. Fantastic videos dude. 👌

Would you rate this a class 3 scramble?

Depends on if you're a climber! If you are it feels pretty easy, if you're not it could feel pretty hard. I'd give it an easy class 4 rating but it's all subjective!

Lots of drama, but I can tell you're an inexperienced scrambler/climber just fishing for "likes". You tell people to wear a helmet, but you're too cool to wear one yourself? Thanks for the advice, bro.
