    One other thing Silent Bob. Those of us from New England, and Fishwater will bear this out, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute. I did Mt. Washington a few years back. Started at Pinkham Notch, it was absolutely a glorious early October day. Temps in the 50's, subtle breeze, and you couldn't see a cloud in the sky. Headed towards Tuckerman's Ravine, went up Lions Head, and by the time we got to the tree line, it was ice/rain/slippery. The clouds moved in. Couldn't see the end of our trekking poles................ Made it to the summit and the wind was howling at about 90 constant gusting to 120.

    Go figure. So, when Fishwater says keep an eye on the weather, don't blink, or you'll miss it.......

    Great video Fishwater. As usual, great visuals and good narrative. Tough to talk in the wind.

    Look forward to your next adventure.

    All the best !

    Thanks SemperFiGil. You're right, it was tough to talk much on this one and we were not sitting still for long. We lucked out with the weather. The wind was actually pretty fun.

    That looked like a great hike. I'm sure some ibuprofen came in handy that next morning!

    Very nice video - epic walk
    How did you get the audio from underwater, i am assuming you had the gopro in its waterproof case?

    Just used the waterproof case, which still picks up some audio, albeit poor audio. Thanks for watching!

    Great video! Still watching.. which gopro did you use? 3?, 3+? I didn't know that they were good enough to get video at night with low light. I had heard that was improved in the 3+.

    I've been up there. That's a lot of tough miles in one day! Young legs are a blessing. I'm completely pooped just hut hopping! There's not enough ibuprofen in this world. Lol
