Day 63 | Sierra️The Pass Everyone’s Been Talking About- Mather Pass | Pacific Crest Trail Thru Hike

Honor is required for the continuous foot path. It is far to easy to say, it is approved for safety reasons, We don’t have to do it the hard way its ok. Up until you are far down the trail, or at home thinking, I did not fight hard enough to keep the hike “ pure “. Maybe some can do that with no repercussions, it is hard enough to sleep as it is. I am not judging the others in the tramily, just how I would feel if I was there, I am glad that Boujee will be with you. Pain travels faster when shared. Congratulations on Mather Pass. You all looked great. Be safe and hike on.

So, if you choose to do glassading down a mountain, instead of walking the switchbacks, isn't that a break in the continuous footpath? And isn't it all less miles then if you were to do the actual PCT switchbacks? The same for going strsighg up and notdoing switchbacks?

It is so cool that you want to have the continuous footpath and do all for it! I would do the same, it would also be really important for me. I hope there will be no fires in your way......I am sure you can do it and reach the goal :)) Happy trails and thank you for the videos. Matthias

I have been watching each and everyday your adventures. When you first came out about hiking the PCT, I had my doubts, but you are a beast! Keep up the good work, and for making wise decisions along the way.

Yooooo I'm getting chills watching this. Making such great progress!!!

Great video. Unbelievable mountains you guys are so lucky. What elevation are you at 12,000 14,000 feet. Amazing.

Continuous foot path is the point, LETS GO!

Don't die, take the other route.

I'll bet nobody around today has walked the same footpath as the first person who walked it. There will always be natural disasters. The path is alive and will always be changing.

Harness and rope. Not safe. Avalanche danger and falls. 😮

The PCT closure is 25 miles. The re-route hikes between PCT and the Lakes totals 28.4 (3.4 miles more than the closure). So whether you walk the road (which PCTA deems not safe) or arrange a ride from S to N Lake, IMO, there is always a connection to earth.

Continuous footpath, definitely s goal to have and this is a spot where it makes sense. There was a fire in Oregon a few years ago that caused a 70-mile roadwalk on a heavily traveled two lane highway or a 20-mile break in continuous footpath and a 100+ mile drive, people made decisions as needed, including some who returned to walk that closed trail three years later to complete their continuous thread. HYOH, indeed 😊

I don't understand. Maybe you didn't explained it correctly. What's the difference between the road walk and the alternate PCTA detour? Both involve walking, so a continuous foot path. Unless you left out that the PCTA alternate includes some driving.

WOW JUST WOW! what beautiful scenery. Thanks for having us along 🎉🎉🎉

Your authenticity is awesome. Yes, indeed, you are in the most incredibly beautiful place. Thanks so much for sharing those views. You are the real deal.

Thanks so much for the beautiful views !

Well, as a Mather of fact, you gotta do what you gotta do, and that's that! Good on ye! 😊👍

Integrity and principled

So interesting watch you all climb up the snow. Did not realize how steep.!
Views are better everyday.

They say microspikes are better than nothing, good for Clingman's Dome and Newfound Gap area. They say regular spikes for the Sierras and the Cascades and the CDT much better, more secure. and of coarse safer. You fell several times on this video, I hope you make the switch to regular spikes. I wanted to tell you this before you started the PCT but life happened.

I couldn't agree with you more! Continuous footsteps is what I believe in! I support you 100%. Way to go!

I love that you’re staying true to your desire to maintain a continuous footpath. If it were me and I didn’t maintain a continuous footpath then I know I would end up having so much regret and it would totally bother me. Good on you! FYI… I watch every video. 😊

You guys had me on the edge of my seat with that steep incline of Mather's Pass! Sorry hope I said the right place. Glad all of you made it safely! Gorgeous views of the Sierras! 😊

If pct " thru-hikers " want to say that they have walked from Mexico to Canada then they should actually walk from Mexico to Canada.

Are Boojey and Pantry(?) brother and sister? The image on top of Mather is the proof!!!

We will follow you whither you take the high road or the low road (an old saying). Who's hike is it? It yours ❤

Another perspective could be that the PCTA recommended alternate IS this year’s “official” PCT. Hmmmm… 😊😊

As far as I know no one has died because of that bridge outage.

Shooting Stars! I miss those so much.

A continuous footpath via the PCT-2024 route (including a detour via Bishop Pass and Paiute Pass) makes perfect sense. There's another detour ahead around the bridge closure at mile 912 (Red's Meadow). From June 7, that detour will involve a road-ish walk, because there is also road construction, so hikers are not allowed to actually walk on the road. You have to take the summer shuttle bus (on weekends) OR walk well off the side out of the construction zone. Note also that walking up the road from Aspendell to North Lake (to get to the North Lake trailhead) is not recommended (but by now you've already done it, since these videos are off-sync by a week).

Jepp - to ME it is ridiculous.

BUT this is not MY journey-it’s your journey. And this truly means a lot to YOU.
That should be the only thing thar matters on THIS journey.
And that I really get! :)

Best wishes for your hike on forward :)

I so totally agree with you about the continuos foot path. It would just be important to me to do it if I could.

Hike your own hike. That's all that matters.

I think you're right about doing the road walk. More people are going to have to get in that frame of mind with all the yearly closures on the PCT. If you ever do the CDT you will definitely be doing road walks to do the continuous 3000 miles.

Hopefully your puns get better after your coffee!

A continuous footpath was the goal, Good for you for sticking with it. Beautiful mountains and rushing waterfalls. Hike~~On~~>

I knew when you said it, there was no way you weren't going to reconsider. Just the look on your face as you were explaining it. Lol You do what makes you happy. Kudos to Boujee!

How you doin gonna do my yoga today

Line of the day: "The wonderful Bouj that he is..." Great stuff. Hope this finds you all well, healthy and strong. Stay safe on your journey. Jack NYC

The pcta is crap

Yes, you are fantastic and so is Boujee! I am so proud of you all. You get better at traversing these here mountains everyday.

I love that you are a purist, but this is beyond your control and due to safety reasons; so whatever decision you make I totally support you. Sending love❤

great videos and fun you make the comedy come alive and make it fun . thru all situations

agree , continuous footpath

What a great day and awesome climb up the pass. Good call following the alternate and not attempting the San Joaquin river crossing. I'm with you, I'd do the continuous foot path as well. And what an awesome dude Bougee is for sticking with you. Class act for sure! I must have missed when Pantry joined the Tramily. I've been in and out of watching your videos, so yeah I missed it. Today is the 20th if June and I think I'm still about six days behind on your videos. Anyway, great job by all. Be safe and happy trails!

that was crazy! It was much more treacherous than what we saw. The video doesn't do it justice. You are a hard-a55!

Gorgeous gorgeous views and scenery!! Could you talk about how the heck yall know where the trail is?? Especially when it’s covered in snow. Sometimes I’m just so impressed on how yall haven’t been lost! Great job!
