 | Sliding Off Box Elder Peak - daytrip ep7
21. 06. 2017 00:31:24
You could take the trail back down but why would you when you could ride a small river of snow 1000's of feet to the trail. You'r knees will thank you and so will your body assuming you don't gain so much momentum you can't stop before flying off a cliff. Also, sometimes the snow doesn't carry you b... |
 | Cascade Ridge and the Lone Gunman - daytrip ep9
3. 07. 2017 06:53:58
Sometimes Blake cancels at 5:20am and leaves you alone in a gravel pit with a guy shooting a bolt action rifle at a rock. Here's a video of me traversing Cascade ridge to Cascade saddle via upper pole. Upper Pole is an easy way to summit Cascade if your into that kind of thing. If not, upper pole i... |
 | From Lyngen to Lofoten Ski's, Drone, and Cod Soup - Norway
11. 07. 2017 23:10:13
This installment is short on story but big on beautiful drone shots of the Lyngen alps and our first day in Lofoten. I've really enjoyed editing this footage while the outside temperature dances around 100 degrees. Hard to say which would be worse constant cold or eternal searing heat? Also, Chase s... |
 | Fastpacking the High Route and Dodging Storms - Wind Rivers
8. 08. 2017 17:16:34
Day one of our 82 mile fastpacking trip through the wind river range. Blake and Aaron have been obsessing over every single ounce, me, not so much. Which is probably why my pack was the heaviest. Not sure it would matter if we weren't trying to go 20-25 miles a day through the rough mountainous terr... |
 | Mountains for Miles and Nobody but Us - Wind Rivers
17. 08. 2017 16:19:50
We saw only one person in almost 30 miles of hiking and it's not hard to understand why. The wind rivers high route is mostly off trail with thousands of feet of climbing and this year it's covered in snow. I also learned a new word, suncups, and now it's a word that causes anger sweats. Suncups are... |
 | Miles 44-70 on the Highroute/Highline Trail - Wind Rivers
7. 09. 2017 17:03:49
Plans change and in our case they change often and quickly. In an effort to dodge the endless snow still lingering in the Wind River Range we seek the comfort of the Highline trail. Then we ruin the easy going by hiking late into the night and covering a distance we never planned on.... |
 | The Last 13 Miles - Wind Rivers
22. 09. 2017 19:38:27
The Wind Rivers Range Highroute/Highline trail conclusion. The last 13 miles may have been flat but they were still difficult. It's hard to go slow when all you can think about is a greasy meal and getting your retainers back in your mouth.... |
 | 35ish Miles and 18,000ft of Joy, Pain and Nettle - PURL
16. 10. 2017 23:23:43
Some things get stuck in your head, like Tina Turners What's Love Got to Do With It. The PURL was one of those things. I heard about it from Aaron and then two months later set out to do it. I couldn't help myself. I live in Utah Valley and that skyline called out to me everyday. I was actually havi... |
 | 18 Miles of Sand and Canyon In Escalante - Death Hollow
26. 02. 2018 00:55:49
Blake's emotions are all over the place during this 35 plus mile bike and hike extravaganza in Escalante National Monument Utah. On top of that Blake takes an unintentional swim, fully clothed, in some very cold water.... |
 | Blake Discovers Natural Arch Worthy of His Praise - Canyonlands National Park
13. 04. 2018 04:52:24
Here's something you don't often see. An episode of Mediocre where Blake doesn't complain. It's like watching an episode of Seinfeild where Kramer doesn't come flying through Jerry's door. It's weird. Everything went right on our 19 mile run through the Canyonlands Needles District and the episode s... |
 | Cliffed up on the Golden Canyon Badwater Ridge Traverse - Death Valley
27. 04. 2018 04:40:04
Do you have a hard time imagining what it would be like to wake up next to me? On Mediocre Amateur you get to wake up next to me almost every video and it can be rough! Death Valley is rough so you can imagine the morning after. In this Vid I hit some of the hot spots like Golden Canyon, Zabriske po... |

 | Taking the Mountaineers Route to the Highest Peak In the Lower 48 - Mount Whitney
5. 06. 2018 05:09:39
Blake doesn't let 20 hours of driving and explosive night time diarrhea stop him from summiting Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous united states. It's height may sometimes be disputed, but it's majestic beauty is not. In this video we take the mountaineers route up and the Whitney Portal tr... |
 | The little Brother of the WURL and PURL - Alpine Ridge Traverse
16. 06. 2018 17:04:37
At 24.5 miles with 14,000 ft of elevation gain and loss the Alpine Ridge Traverse is no WURL or PURL but that doesn't mean it's easy. The ART still contains lots of knee destroying ridge line and spirit crushing descents. It's still miserable enough to convince your friends not to join you during yo... |
 | Skiing in the Summer and Who Wants - Mount Jefferson
11. 07. 2018 17:17:02
Sorry for the spammy title I couldnt resist, but seriously theres a GoPro Hero 6 on Mount Jefferson that fell out of my waist belt and down Milk Glacier. It wasnt the only bad thing to happen on our trip to one of Oregons most extinct volcanoes. Christof and I were constantly reminded that things n... |

 | Summiting Montana's Highest Peak in One Day - Granite Peak
10. 08. 2018 17:18:11
Granite peak is the highest point in Montana. It's also considered by some to be the second most difficult state high point to summit after Denali. It definitely was challenging but it didn't take 25 hours like the stranger in the the parking lot told me it might. Still, with around 8,400 ft of elev... |
 | The Cable, Keyhole Lollypop - Longs Peak
7. 09. 2018 18:36:53
Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most popular 14ners in Colorado. Supposedly the threat of lines to the summit and crowds on top is very real. But we got lucky. We climbed Longs via the keyhole, cable route lolly. We decided on this route last minute after speaking with some ... |
 | Sampling Nevada's Goods - Ruby Crest Trail
21. 09. 2018 17:55:45
Matt, Pax and I travel to Nevada's Ruby Crest Trail on Matt's whirlybird to check out a small section of its 35 miles. I can only imagine what the views would have been like if the mountain range hadn't been choking in smoke. Still, it was a beautiful place to test out my stomach after last weeks Pu... |
 | 22 Mile Run in the Idaho Wilderness - Sawtooth Lake Loop
4. 10. 2018 17:39:16
I got lucky. Not only did Matt avoided crashing the helicopter over the Sawtooths, but I somehow deleted my entire sequence on Premier Pro but only after exporting a rough final edit. So that's what you get is a nearly complete edit with a couple little things that will irritate me every time I watc... |
 | One Persons Nightmare is Another's Adventure - Alcatraz Slot Canyon
1. 11. 2018 19:51:10
Alcatraz is a slot canyon in the desert of southern Utah. This canyon could be considered Mother Natures way of hazing the uninitiated who wish to join the world of canyoneering. It is a physically brutal canyon that damages everything that dares enter its tight corridors. People get trapped in Alca... |
 | The Crown Jewel of Great Basin National Park - Wheeler Peak
14. 11. 2018 18:06:58
It's not the highest peak in Nevada but it still exceeded our expectations. In this episode Christof and I take a creative approach to the summit of Wheeler peak. It paid off with spectacular views and limited time in the often referenced 'jet stream' that pushes air at a high velocity over the trai... |
 | Battling Ice and Hypothermia - Iron Wash
30. 11. 2018 16:54:05
The second time we flew over this canyon on the way back from another adventure we decided we had to check it out. We marked it on the GPS and returned with wet suits. We thought maybe we were one of the first to attempt the canyon but an old piton and some webbing at the massive pot hole told us ot... |
 | Climbing and Skiing Washington's 2nd Highest Mountain - Mount Adams
13. 12. 2018 17:00:01
17 miles with 7,500ft of climbing and it was all worth it. Mount Adams in Washington is an amazing mountain thats even better when the weather cooperates. In this episode Christof and I do an overnighter in the Gifford Pinchot National Forrest and summit Mount Adams in the process. The Pacific North... |
 | 5229ft of Frustration, Pain, and Prominence - Ibapah Peak
10. 01. 2019 19:52:51
Ibapah peak is not a well known peak. It sits in an isolated mountain range called the Deep Creeks on the Utah, Nevada border. Blake has mentioned it from time to time so we decided to roll the dice and head out to ski this remote mountain top. It was a gamble and unfortunately for blake, It was a l... |
 | Staying Motivated During the Dark Days of Winter - Heavens Halfpipe
25. 01. 2019 16:46:50
We always have a list of adventures and objectives that are both unmanageably huge and bite sized. A lot of my time is spent looking at maps, texting people, and watching the weather and when things line up heading out to check one of these goals of the list. This pocket sized adventure has been on... |
 | Skiing Red Rock in Southern Utah - Bryce Canyon
13. 03. 2019 15:00:06
Grow a mustache and put on your aviators, we're taking the chopper down south. In this episode we go skiing just south of Bryce Canyon National Park (skiing in the park is prohibited) in a dream like landscape. It's a video that almost didn't happen due to multiple technical problems but in the end ... |

28. 03. 2019 15:00:12
Volcano Ski Extravaganza Part 1: Ever since our ascent of Mount Adams, when I looked over and saw Mount Saint Helens, I have wanted to ski its gentle slope. So I monitored the mountain weather closely. Finally things lined up. The weather cleared and I found someone who could take some time off to s... |

 | Beware of the Killer Cornice - Cascade Ski Traverse
25. 04. 2019 16:00:12
We love a good day out in the backyard. Cascade mountain is one of my favorite mountains especially when it's covered with snow and rimmed with some of the largest cornices I've ever seen. I actually had to get on the radio twice while flying the drone to tell Christof he was hanging out over the ab... |
 | Skiing Powder in May on Colorado 14er - Crestone Peak
16. 05. 2019 17:00:02
The weather was forecasted to be cloudless and warm but instead we got snow the day before and another skiff as we set off in the morning. I guess it wouldnt be much of an adventure if things went as forecasted. In this episode Christof and I set off to ski Crestone Peak in the Sangre De Cristo wil... |
 | Almost Kings - Kings Peak
5. 06. 2019 16:26:34
Who knew avalanche danger existed at the end of May in Utah? With a series of late season snow storms and high winds, the stage is set for disappointment. Weve all summited Kings Peak in the summer, but its a whole different ball game in the winter. I guess the lesson here is, always have a plan B.... |
 | New Mexico's Highest Peak - Wheeler Peak
27. 06. 2019 16:00:09
Another awesome Mediocre Subscriber suggestion. Hadn't even considered this area until two subscribers suggested I go. Hats off to them and everyone else who has suggested an adventure. My list grows longer by the day. On this episode I travel solo to New Mexico to climb the states tallest mountain,... |
 | Colorado's Highest Point - Mount Elbert
11. 07. 2019 17:31:19
What Mount Elbert lacks in excitement it more than makes up in its views from the summit. After Climbing New Mexico's highest point I packed up and drove to Colorado where I climbed Mount Elbert the next morning. After getting an early morning glimpse of the mountain I cancelled my plans to ski Elbe... |
 | Skiing Open Water at 10,500ft on Mount Timpanogos
25. 07. 2019 16:00:10
A viewer asked if we ever participated in type 1 fun. This video is a response to that question. Yes we occasional do things that aren't a total suffer fest. In this episode we hike our skis up Mount Timpanogos and skim across Emerald Lake. I think Emerald Pond would be a better description but eith... |
 | Leaving France - The Haute Route in 5 Days
18. 09. 2019 16:00:05
Day one of my five day run from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland. Prepare for mountain passes, Swiss Valleys, and the terrible pronunciation of French words. In this episode I navigate the first 30 miles from Chamonix to Champex and quickly realize that this trip will be a lot longer and ste... |
 | Getting Lost in the Whiteout - The Haute Route
3. 10. 2019 16:00:15
Day 2. Plans are great but they fail to capture the true essence of the day. On my second day of the Haute Route Ill traverse some 30 unknown, unseen miles in rain and snow. Ill run on single track, walk the paved paths of small Swiss villages, and hike through snow covered boulder fields. Every ste... |
 | The Most Beautiful Place to Suffer - Haute Route
10. 10. 2019 17:00:13
Day 3. These are the most beautiful 35 miles that I have ever traveled. Prafleuri, Des Dix, Arolla, La Sage, Lac de Moiry and Zinal. Places whos natural beauty I could never capture properly. All day long I would stop and be awestruck by my surroundings even when my toes felt as if theyd been smashe... |
 | Zinal to St. Niklaus - Haute Route
24. 10. 2019 15:30:04
Day 4. Somehow Christof and I managed to rendezvous in the small town of Zinal. Together we set out on another great day in the Swiss alps traveling from Zinal to St. Niklaus. My only hope is that things will be just hard enough for Christof to make him believe in my description of the previous 3 da... |
 | Maroon Peak to North Maroon - The Bells Traverse
7. 11. 2019 15:00:05
Ive heard about Maroon Bells Wilderness for a while. Theres a reason pictures of this place occupy so much space on the walls of hotel rooms and lobbys. Its the same reason you have to take a shuttle to the trailhead. This place is beautiful from top to bottom. The Maroon Peak to North Maroon peak t... |
 | To the Foot of the Matterhorn - The Haute Route
21. 11. 2019 15:30:01
Day 5. The last day of our multi day tour through the mountains of France and Switzerland on the Haute Route. With everyday being better than the last it's no surprise our run through the Mattertal Valley to the Matterhorn and Zermatt should top them all. Doesn't mean the day wasn't without it's cha... |
 | Helicopter Skiing and Small Rescue
4. 12. 2019 15:30:01
Last March I was invited along to guide some skiers on a Helicopter ski tour of the Wasatch. In the middle of the day someone in the helicopter got a call from a friend who had broken his leg while skiing by himself in the backcountry. We flew to his rescue, plucked him off the mountain, and deliver... |
 | Taking the Iron Path with the Wife - Via Ferrata
2. 01. 2020 16:00:09
In this episode my wife joins me on a short adventure for a Mediocre first. She's the first woman to every be featured on this channel! She's also the reason no woman has been featured up to this point. I was surprised at how eager she was to try her wits on the Via Ferrata in Murren, Switzerland. E... |
 | Skiing Hallway of Stone - Terminal Cancer
30. 01. 2020 16:00:09
A terrible name for an awesome ski line. Did we climb this iconic couloir 'the right way', for some probably not. Did we do it the best way, definitely! Nothing beats the Helicopter approach especially when you're laying in bed, setting your alarm at an unforgiving time and thinking about the 9 hou... |
 | Skiing Mountain of Ice - South Sister
20. 02. 2020 16:00:05
You never know what you're going to get when you ski a volcano. That was especially true when it came to skiing the South Sister in the Three Sisters Wilderness outside of Bend, Oregon. As a matter of fact, none of us could ever recall seeing ice skating rink quality ice on a mountainside before. Or... |
 | Bright Angel to South Kaibab Loop - Grand Canyon
5. 03. 2020 15:30:01
Ice on the South Rim but hot sand at the bottom. Thats what happens when you drop 5,000 after stepping out of your car at the Grand Canyon. Bright Angel down to the Colorado and then back up the South Kaibab. Its an awesome 20 mile loop if you can handle the toe jamming descent and calf cramping asc... |
 | Sandboarding in National Park - Great Sand Dunes
19. 03. 2020 14:30:04
Originally this video was going to be a 10 min flashback but I thought Christof's near concussion deserved more. On our way to climbing Blanca Peak we stop off at Great Sand Dunes National Park to try something new, sandboarding. We were having a great time until Christof became overconfident and de... |
 | Skiing Colorados 4th Highest Point - Blanca Peak
2. 04. 2020 15:30:07
A random visit to Creston Peak last year has led to a return trip back to this corner of Colorado. First we sandboarded the Sand Dunes National Park and the next day we climbed Blanca Peak. This Colorado 14er is tucked away in a rugged looking corner of Colorado. It's a unique mountain range that ri... |
 | Climbing the Mountain Behind My House - Mount Timpanogos
16. 04. 2020 15:30:07
Keeping things close to home on this one. In this episode Christof and I climb and ski Mount Timpanogos the towering snow covered peak right behind my house.

4. 06. 2020 16:38:05
Since shooting the first Mediocre episode here in Grand Teton National Park Ive always wanted to come back and ski the line Blake and I failed to complete. In this episode we manage to get back and ski Chounaird Couloir off the south face of the Middle Teton. Like most ski shots in this mountain ran... |
