On My Own Terms - Fastpacking the Southern Alps (by Jenny Tough)

It’s not a race, not part of any known challenge, it’s just a goal I’ve set for myself, on my own terms. The Southern Alps were my fourth mountain range in my personal challenge to fastpack across a mountain range on every continent. It’s a totally pointless mission, important only to me, but I still push myself hard every day to do the best that I can do, and succeed on my own terms.

Really loved this video! In 2018 I hiked from Saint Etienne to Chamonix and loved it so much that I continued the journey in 2019 from Chamonix to Fusio along an extension of the Haute Route. I was chuckling when you said “these trails are so gnarly!” and that you weren’t making the progress you’d hope...because I felt the exact same way on both my trips. 😂. Ultimately, like you said, it’s not a race and you just have to enjoy every day and every experience you have on the trail, and the end is always bittersweet: warm bed...but the journey is over. And then you start planning the next one. 🤙

Well is not totally pointless... Is there you can see it is tangible, there are results, some numbers, but doesn't matter the most, also no trophy, or medal await... The thing is beeing in there pass through... Such a massive effort and a impressive self imposed challenge and then take the time to edit and show us a bit inside ... Mind blowing... And all I (we) can do is give you the kudos and share... Extremely Jenny 😅 ... 🫵🏼🤘🏼👍🏼 On your own terms!

Hey! So nice to see your video Jenny. Don’t know if you remember, we met briefly during your walk while I was hiking during 24hours for my birthday! I totally agree with you, New Zealand alps are wonderful and not for running sometimes! Instead of doing zig zag, the kiwis go straight... shorter. Cheers

Hello Jenny! Such a nice Video! I adore the Alps, and I was wondering how hard it gets to move forward 2000m above sealevel (for me as a person who lives on flat land ist was not as fast and easy as planned). Sometimes things go wrong but if you want to get home you have to go on. Seeing you run on the mountans remembers me a little bit of Computergames in the past, it looks a little like Lara Croft :-) running around. So thank you for that what brings back memories from other places, especially Italy.

Thanks Simon! Sometimes it is, and on those days I don't tend to film much. But sometimes I really enjoy the mindfulness of trying to frame the beautiful places I'm running through, and stopping to set up my camera is an excuse for a break.

I met a Indian or maybe Pakistani woman at Papoose in the Trinity Alps. She was the tortoise and not the hare. The thing is she never stops turning over her legs and in the end she is the dominant hiker. She walks right past the others when they stop to rest. She is a force to be reckoned with in any steep relentless trail. She will run you down in time by walking right past you.
