Awesome. I lived too far away to climb Moran but always wanted to do it. Good with the SUP. But no, I only do dog walks. But this really shows what the terrain looks like. Thanks! PS, go climb the battleship in GCNP. Start hiking at sunset. there used to be a trail up to the summit from the notch. At Full Moon. Use dim lights, at the big bend past 1. and a half mile resthouse traverse off BA to the battleship notch. SFollow the sheep trails traversing off the BA. and maybe all trails as your guide? looking and chilling on flat deck and hike out in the morning and have breakfast at el tovar after your long hike, or something. Its very beautiful. There is also Cope Butte off the Hermit as a day hike. Ride bikes not take the shuttle and get the exposure of a knife edge.

Like your style, light and fast! Did the CMC back in the day with a group, tents, camping gear, food, and we bushwhacked to the approach and belayed the climb. A real slog. Headed into town one night from the ranch I spotted a guy on the side of the road in the dark. He needed a ride into town, He had just finished doing the Cirque. Five peaks in less the 24 hours. That is Real light and Real fast!
I remember standing on a field of scree near the summit, when it all started to slide a few feet.
Hearing large rocks tumbling and hitting the snow field with a splash.
Love the Tetons and the Snake River. Had some good times there.

Nice day out. Hilarious that you took paddle boards and got away with it. Years ago as an Exum Guide I was crossing in a canoe. Luckily my client had some J-stroke game and I provided the horse power. But on the way out the wind was gnarly and we actually had to pull over and eat berries until it died. Pretty epic. Clearly, the glass was in your favor but if the afternoon freight train came out of Leigh Canyon, you guys woulda been bush bashing with those boards. Type 3 fun for sure. Since then I've done it with tandem kayaks and it's a nice compromise. Anyway, makes me want to go back. Been a long time. Cheers.

Wow, I haven't seen Moran look this doable before. How would you compare this to, for example, the OS route on The Grand? Is it if you slip and fall, you die (like falling down Valhalla on the OS route, or if you slip and fall, you'll slide and get beat up but not die?

Great video! Inspired us to make this into a picnic style day, riding bikes from Gros Venture camp with packrafts, soloing the CMC and back in a day. Stellar day out and made the bike, paddle, climb from camp to summit in 8 hours! Thanks for providing the stoke.

So strange to see the tops of these mountains are just covered with loose boulders, rocks. This is amazing to me--I can't stand heights, even watching gets to me. Thanks for the video.

I miss Christoff and Matt. Even Blake, over your new-found d-bag friends. They act entitled to be joining you and treat you like a rookie. At least the other guys recognize your rank.

Would you be willing to make a video one of these days showcasing the type of gear you take out on your excursions? Youre really motivating me to get out and do some adventuring

Nice work! I thought that route was a little more intense than you guys make it seem. But it was a number of years ago when I was new to the game.

Holy habanero that was spicy! Probably not your most physically exhausting day, but that takes a lot of mental energy for sure
