To be honest, I can't imagine mustering the energy to get the camera out when feeling bad enough to throw up. You really are a pretty tough bastard :)

I'm late to the party, but I think there's a T-shirt potential here. "I'm a pretty tough bastard" on the front. On the back, "If you haven't puked, you haven't run far enough" There's legit ultra/trail/endurance runner, and there's Kerry Ward Legit. You're an absolute machine buddy! Love the content. Thanks for taking us along.

Great video! I really enjoy your content. I did this trail in one day in 2018 and that section you crossed was the old Eliot glacier washout I believe. You were crossing at the original trail location, but it was washed out over a decade ago. Your GPX track must have been the old trail route. The new reroute was just finished in 2017 (I believe?) and it crosses quite a bit lower on that creek, and adds about a mile to the trip as a whole along with at least 500' of elevation gain/loss.

Yes. The GPS track was pre 2017 for sure. I was spot on where the trail ONCE was. But clearly not anymore. I could see remnants of trail once I'd climbed the perilous embankment on the other side here and there. Clearly no one traveled on that part of the old trail. As I climbed I was 100% sure that this would not be something most people would feel comfortable doing. It was hairy.

Kerry this video is amazing and really captures the full adventure of the trail! I saw this vid a few years ago and it gave me the idea to attempt the trail myself someday. And that finally came to be while visiting OR last week. Those water crossings are no joke!! There’s so much blowdown now - tons of time spent navigating over under around huge tangles of timber.

I enjoyed your video, learned new things. Thank you. I also appreciate you recording when you took the wrong turn due to the GPS. The GPS is a tool and can be handy but it really illustrated how we ignore the signs that a trail is ending or isn’t a trail. I know there are changes in the environment and it may be hard to decipher. But the surrounding area will give clues. Would trail makers make a trail on such a desolate steep rocky terrain? When you see landscape shift, it’s good to take note. I’d also say from going thru similar scenario, to not keep plunging ahead. It will get more grueling. Your likely to get lost or injured. It’s best to retrace and go back. It’s better to reverse your tracks. Turning back is always safer.

Hope your recover is going well. Happy to be able to provide some distraction for you. I looked at the Rae Lakes Loop - that is exactly the kind of trail I would look for to do a solid day effort. Perhaps later this year. I'll have to figure out if I can bypass the permitting by doing it as a day hike, which I find often works well in other places.

How do you know when it's okay to drink the water on these long runs without filtering it?
@FullTiltWard
4 жыл бұрын
It is a guess at best. Where I opted to drink from a stream, there was VERY little vegetation above. In my view, this high alpine type of stream is unlikely to be contaminated by animals or pollution. I also look for a minimum of turgidity.

Kerry, man, you’re always killing it in these videos. I believe you are fearless. I don’t know that I could/would do a solo 50K+ in some of these areas without some self defense tools (bear spray etc). Your narration with these long form videos is enjoyable. I often wonder how spontaneous your solo treks are, this one doesn’t look like you did a crazy amount of prepping.
