Loved the video and music, nice choice! Wife and I took our 9 year old twins across the knife edge on a nice summer day. They loved it, but I would not have wanted to do it in high wind or rain. I remember the Helon Taylor trail down seemed to take forever.

This will be my 3rd year making and annual winter climb of Washington. In 2021 that chimney section at 4:08 was a pure ice waterfall. Only the presence of a large group's rope allowed people to ascend and descend safely. Last year I went up Ammo and hit Monroe and Washington, and descended via the cog. Much less icey and the weather was great. Highly recommend that descent at least once. Perfect for sunset!

You did a great job with the editing and music choice. Climbing down the notch looked easy in the video while I have always found it to be one of the more challenging section. You captured the vertical climbing out of the notch very well. My family and I did Cathedral and Knife Edge on July 3rd this year. Now that I am 68 years old it a bit more of a challenge! Thanks for making the video.

Yes "Lion's Head". Congratulations on a Great Winter Trip! I climbed MT Wash many times, Sometime in the 1990's me and a friend did "Lion's Head" in late Nov/ early Dec, but it was still snow free. Once I climbed Mt Wash alone, May 1993, --70 mph winds w/ gusts of 121mph (I found out later). I felt like I could be "blown off the mountain". Only time I saw only ONE PERSON at the top, a guy from Italy who climbs the Alps. Yes, maybe a Winter trip for me some day...then again, there is always the Spring, Summer, or Fall...🙂5 STARS! --Van

This video does an outstanding job at the impossible, capturing the spectacular excitement of this trail. The music somehow fueled the magical quality of the "edge". Thanks so much for sharing. The editing was well done; however, the timing was a little too fast for my taste. Your selection of transitions worked very well also,

Pamola to knifes edge or Baxter peak to knife edge to pamalo. Which direction you feel is more stable less scary i guess. I plan to go in October , I dont mind heights but I yield in the line of. Caution.especially in the steep parts it its easier to ascend or descend .

I hate those! My worst one took me 1/2 hour to get out of, I got one snowshoe lodged between 2 limbs and had to take the other one off, take my pack off to sit on to keep me from sinking too far, and dig with the other snowshoe until I could reach the bindings on the trapped one.

My favorite mountain. I’m living 3+ hours north of it now and have some nice ones almost in my backyard, but I will get back down to the Whites sometime. And yeah, that part can be intimidating LOL I’ve only done Champney Falls Trail once that I can remember (maybe when I hiked it in the 80s in Boy Scouts, too), it was a FRIGID day in March 2017. I didn’t summit because the Sorel Conquests I wore for the cold felt unstable on some of the rocks. Ankle support isn’t their strong point. My favorite route is Piper-Weetamoo-Hammond-Liberty. Much more sheltered in bad weather. Great video!

For the most part you'll leave them on. There is always ice in between the rocks, and often encasing them. I got stainless steel crampons specifically to be more durable than an aluminum equivalent. You might swap over to a microspike or trail crampon, but only if the conditions are extraordinarily mild. You can resharpen your crampon spikes at home if they become dull.
