Absolutely insane! For perspective - I’m a local pdx native - this loop trail is recommended as a 3 night 4 day backpacking trip! You did 40ish miles in under 11 hours, epic!!

"I'm trying to maintain a pace of 4-5 miles an hour... which may not sound difficult" LOL

"I don't know if I'd do it again, though. I'd probably do it in the other direction."

What's crazier than accomplishing these miles and times is that he's stopping and filming the whole time as well which means hes really booking it.

Danny, you are insane. You are truly a boss. “What are they doing? Using oracle bones to predict the miles?” This part made me lol. You are an inspiration to me to get out there and keep moving. Thank you for such amazing content. 👍🏼👍🏼

"Glad I didn't die. Always a plus."

Stupid mountain! You’re absolutely insane; incredibly driven and outrageously inspiring. I was forming the question in my mind if you took a silent partner along during these epic runs to help set up the cameras - just as the handful of clips appear showing you setting down and picking up the bloody things. Stupid question! You have one of the truly very best KZfaq channels going. They’re total pleasure to watch.

Oracle bones lol

45 miles one day, and another 8 miles with major vert the next day! You are a machine! Well done and looks epic!

Nothing "mediocre" or "amateur" about what these guys are doing...

Not dying is always a plus, I agree

The rant at 5 minutes is so spot on X)

0:30 - 65 km. 1:43 - 6 to 8 km/h. 3:05 - 40 km. 3:42 - 370 m. 4:57 - 62.1 km. 6:05 - 68 km. 9:27 - 72 km, 3300 m. 9:34 - 13 km, 1700 m. For reference, the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island is 77 km long.

Danny a man with feet of iron, crushing basalt to sand. Another great one thanks for taking us along for the adventure!

Seriously love all your videos! Keep cranking em out haha!

I plan on circumventing and bagging the summit in under 24 hours this summer. Thanks for the inspiration!

Magnificent adventures, all! Loving the chance to go along in some sense. Glad you seem to thrive on these unbelievably hard pushes.

Danny you are a freaking BEAST! Timberline Trail in a day followed by summiting Hood the next day in late summer conditions. Nice man! Love your channel!

Best youtubers hands down!

Such a beautiful and impressive mountain. I wish I had the opportunity to go there! Great inspiration as always.

Hi. Impressed with your run around Hood. As much impressed with your climbing Hood the next day. As always, great photography and narration. God Bless always for safety.

You sure cover a lot of territory in one day! Great video of an amazing place.

You guys are so rad. Keep 'em coming.

You're videos are excellent keep up the good work!!

Enjoyed the diatribe about gaining & losing vert constantly, that's me on New Zealand trails, totally! Really enjoying watching the films you guys make, thanks so much for taking us along :-) I really hope you guys are hitting the Hardrock lottery; I would love to see you guys run that if someone lucks out and gets in and therefore others could participate via pacing...

what beautiful landscapes friend impregnates me the beauty of the places you visit and I am also struck by the fact that you can travel all those places inospitos your alone, since doing that in my country would be somewhat strained

Thanks! Great trip. Filming all that yourself. WoW!

Epic! Hoping to climb Mt. Hood next spring.

damn, you're in shape.

Nice videos man. Crazy cool.

Well done, awesome video’s still can’t believe it took me so long to find....🧐 keep it up!! Next Mt. Whitney summit FKT 😱🤔😜👣👣🏔

What an animal, amazing!!!

Smashing hike! You top it off with your honesty with the rant at 5:00

Just astonishing.

All your solid points you made about the trails... That's Oregon for you.

Wow!! Incredible!!

You Sir are a legend!

Love the channel bro! My fiancé and I just moved to Alaska a couple months ago and have always loved hiking. Watching your channel has made us want to start doing longer/bigger treks! I’m just curious though why you’re always running through the trails and doing it as fast as possible? Is it a time thing or is that just how you prefer to knock the trails out? Keep enjoying what life has to offer though! This is how life is meant to be lived💯🥾

Looking to do the circumnavigation next weekend! Hear that there may be a fair bit of snow left but the warm temps will hopefully take care of that. Thanks for the inspiration!

You’re amazing!!!

Wow that was crazy, No way can you call yourself “mediocre”.

Serious life goals here. I'm not much younger than these guys and they'd pass me shortly after leaving the lodge lol. Can't wait to get in shape and do this. For now I'll keep putzing around Oregon and Washington hiking trails with my day pack.

So pretty!

So sick, Always wanted to do this.

Oh my god I can relate to every minute of this video

It would be interesting to hear how you choose gear for your various adventures. What works and what failed.

Love it! Thanks for creating and sharing! Was this shot with a GoPro?

Omg I feel this so hard about losing all your elevation gain to the river valleys and then having to go back up. My dad and I just did the wonderland trail around mt rainier and had to go through that 1-2 times a day

Goals! Will try it out

Another epic video. I would like to get out and check out the skiing out there and drive up to the lodge. Can you see Mt. Rainier from Mt. Hood?

No, 4-5 mph not only sounds hard, it is hard. I do 3 and ave 19 a mile on moderate terrain. You’re a beast. I’m motivated!

I need to know Danny's workout routine. He just ran a marathon and a half with several thousand feet of vert and slept it off no problem. Demigod status.

Amazing! 10 hrs 40 mins.. You’re super human

OH man, I hiked up to the Palmer glacier Saturday and was huffing and puffing. This guy is a manimal.

DO MT. TIMPANOGAS IN UTAH!!! It’s a really fun trail and beautiful scenery. Short, but good

Another epic trip... but dude, I've seen you cheat the Reaper many times in your vids. Seriously, you always seem one mistake away from having a bad day on the hill. I wish you continued health and safety.

Pretty impressive and gorgeous scenery! When did you hike this?

I love you!!!!

Have run this trail many times, only one of which was clockwise from Timberline. CCW from TL is the best direction (run to the sun).

So sick, I did this too!

Danny, I really dig your videos. Production quality and comedy are stellar. 2 questions: 1) where can I purchase the mediocre amateur cap you sport in some videos? 2) as for this video and the circumnavigation, it’s awesome. Have you heard of the wonderland trail around Rainier? I live right at the foothills and it’s a sweet trail and difficult AF (93 miles, 24k elevation) if you’re trying to get done in a short time frame. Hopefully you check the comments. And srsly, the hat, TAKE MY MONEY.

I think this man could win the Barlay Marathons

Brother, I feel your pain. Wait until you go to Japan and do the Diakiretto arete in Kamikochi. I'm not in your class, so I tried to avoid it but I took the wrong turn. Japanese trails are all designed by the Marquis de Sade. After two of those heart breaking dips, and a via ferata that was about 200' of aluminum ladders (I had the thought, shouldn't I be carrying a section of rain gutter?) So I went through two of these dips, and stood at one spot for about ten minutes trying to figure out why WHY? there wasn't a mountain hut there. Then laboriously climbing back up out of the saddle.... only to find another saddle. There was this tower with this deep groove. It looked so completely awful and impossible I was convinced that that had to be the trail. I just stood there wondering if I couldn't just somehow spend the next week or so right where I was... Then I noticed some climbers along a not too difficult arete to the left. And the hand holds in the rocks? Never reposition deeper into the same hole, there's another one fight next to it. That hissing coming out of about every 20th handhold? You just woke up a bat. You and Blake would eat this route for breakfast, but you'll be shaking your head at people wearing cotton gloves while doing rock climbing moves.

I feel your pain. Once I walked the trail with an 86 pound pack..... up and down those ridges was killer and dis heartening, but worth many memories.... now of course I know better, I was young and dumb then, now I’m old and dumb and living vicariously thru your “mediocre” video lens.....

what day of the year were you on Mt Hood? Looks like great weather!

Anyone know what route Danny took? It looks like the Old Chute. Was this really climbed in August? Dang that is gutsy call to climbing in the middle of Summer. Bravo Danny!

Time to do Wonderland around Mount Rainier. Over 90 some odd miles and an insane amount of elevation

Bad Ass!!

Ive been told that climbing Hood in August is extremely difficult but you made it look very doable. How hard was the climb. Great videos.

If you ever head south to California, look up Mt Shasta or the Trinity Alps.

What an epic adventure! What month/time of year was this?

What time of year was this? I did Hood in May and there was much more snow.

I lost it at the 5 min mark

That sand he speaks of is volcanic ash.

What?!?!? No helicopter!?!?

6:34 Can someone pls link me or tell me the name of those underarmor looking things around his legs? Thx!

Dusty Dan!

Wide riverbed at 5:35. Thanks.

How do your feet not hurt?

Did you climb that in micro spikes?

Don't think ppl know how much goes into this when your solo

What month is this?

not easy

I should be working but I'm watching your videos instead

947

I think it is safe to say this achievement is substantially beyond mediocre.

I hate the 7k people that enjoyed watching this video but were too lazy and/or selfish to tap the like button. Hate.

I see Mt Hood everyday. I was finding all your rants comical. I’ll explain something to you. It’s Orygone that’s why. Not the most with it state by any means. Orygone prides it’s self on the take 2 steps forward and 25 or more back theory.

Hopefully this guy isn't on the juice 🤐

Do Not call the Elliott Glacier canyon or the White River canyon 'stupid'. What is certifiably stupid is attempting to circumnavigate the 40 mile Hood trail in 12 hours! Take your time. Enjoy it. Take 4 days and savor the terrain and scenery! I know ultra trail runners that complete it in a day, but WHY?

I love your videos. Have watched a bunch. You do complain a lot. Maybe you should take more time...just saying.

You're a beast! Great job man! I'm inspired
