I love seeing videos like this at I time that I'm unable to travel as much. It's food for the soul.

This is a hard enough challenge in the Summer for an FKT. Great attitudes and humility. The Cascades do not have favorites and will absolutely lose the trail in that snow. Walmsley in Salomon video. Not sure how Hoka feels about that.

This is awesome. So glad you made this video, even though it didn't work out like you planned. I live in Washington and this exact route has been one of my goals for years! Thanks for inspiring.

Hey Cameron, we are stoked to hear that you're inspired! Hope you can make this route one day! 🙌

This is awesome! Love it. Also hilarious when you go from showing shots of Mt Rainer to all of the sudden you're at the WA/OR border.

Great to see Jim with you!!

Great video, great team, great François, cool to see Jim with them.

Awesome guys. What an adventure!

Vous avez le plus pur accent français possible je pense. Toujours cool de vous suivre et très belle performance :)

What a great video! Thank you 😊

Love seeing the trails I visit so often featured in a Salomon video! For those questioning the timing of the attempt, from my understanding, Francois has to be at his vineyards in France until late September so this was the window they had for the attempt. I have done big stretches of the trail north of Rainy Pass with no issues in mid to late October and my first time doing Section J was in mid-November of 2016. But I have also been shutdown in late September due to snow. You hope for the best and see what Nature deals you. Still a huge accomplishment to travel from Harts Pass to Cathedral Pass in those conditions!

It’s like seeing a good buddy featured in a Salomon video “Hey! I know that spot!” Or like seeing the NW legend Stuke in the comments section of KZread 😀

He’s a beast!! We should all buy some wine from him too!

Thank you for sharing Pacific crest trail

mid-late September is probably the best time for an FKT attempt in the Pacific North West. Snow is almost a given in the first week or two of October but sometimes you get lucky. Sad you didn't but great effort though!

Sublime and breathtaking!

I am too old to run like that anymore but I would have gone south to north, hitting Washington in late Aug. Yes, the northwest is amazing!

Welcome to WA, Salomon frens. Your gear is first rate.

beautiful video, music is perfect

September is the best month for WA PCT.

Great attempt, great video! Most of these are so long it puts a lot of people off watching. You captured the challenge and camaraderie they experienced, and hopefully it'll turn more runners on to ultra running!

They're crazy trying to do that with little safety net that late in the year, it rains/snows a bunch in the fall in Washington state, I know I live there.

Does anyone know the exact start and end dates?

As a native of the Cascades who grew up in the backcountry, this one falls hard into the *WTF* category. Every PNW hiker and adventure-type knows full well that the WA leg of the PCT -- especially the North Cascades -- VERY quickly become impassible once the snow flies. Perhaps these gents should have considered a few quick comms with any number of different local resources to sanity check the idea *before* they headed west. (Mountaineers, WAC, etc.) It would have saved both their time and (Salomon's) money.

Why do they wear the slab ultra 2 rather than the 3 ? Imo a few vulgar worlds that could’ve been avoided.. super nice video and project !! Thanks a lot

this should have been in a documentary format and made more engaging. less titillation and more substance. should have been at least 1 hour of footage....
