I saw you throw a thanks out to Danyelle at the end of this episode. Are you scamming inside info?

I dunno, just heard it referred as such. Or maybe that was written as such in the book and it stuck with me. Funny enough the book hasn’t been the most reliable for beta. Either way, yeah doesn’t matter and wasn’t trying to be all super accurate, just repeating what I thought it was.
But yeah man, such a damn memorable line. Was just blown away turning around and looking back up that thing right below.

That is definitely the right move. I used to work with her, she is good people and an awesome resource.

Well well, a nice surprise drop at lunchtime. Episode ends on a cliffhanger - the suspense is killing me!
Sleeping in that cabin looked 10/10. Sleeping on a snow bed with soaked gear and moist air looked 2/10. But what do you want when you sign up for a torturefest?

Those packs looked brutal! Looking forward to seeing part 2 of the traverse.
How are the GFT liners working out for you, Cody? Speaking of liners, I can't believe Tobin went for such a long walk in powerwraps!

Nice work on E1! So excited for the new few to come! How heavy were your packs on average for the traverse?

Interesting. I managed a sierra traverse with 45lbs, 8 gets of food.
But i was counting every gram.

Yeah you can go lighter than we did, but also a traverse in Canada is a lot different than a traverse in the Sierra when it comes to gear / weather / terrain prep. Also as others noted, we’re filming the whole thing so that brings another factor of necessity for equipment. Cameras, batteries, audio recorders, recharging equipment…it adds up quick.

Cody, for the sake of trip/story continuity did you consider making this trip one extended episode instead of a part 1 and part 2?

Yeah was on at the same time as them and ran into Simi and crew on the Deville on Day 2. I have no idea about their approach/decision making because I really haven’t talked to Simi about their trip. Seems like they went decently light and fast but other than that didn’t talk to much to them about the specifics of their trip. Is there info out there somewhere?

I understand that North -South is faster if you’re side hilling your way to a FKN, but in my experience doing these tours, South - North means climbing firm South faces early in the day and skiing powder on the North faces. What am I missing?

Yeah you're spot on but we addressed the exact reasoning behind our decision in the episode. It had to do with not only with warm afternoons but a massive forecasted warm up 7 days out from our start. So entering into the much bigger and more hazardous Selkirks during a warm up that was forecasting overnight freezing levels above 3000m seemed incredibly dangerous and stupid. The goal was the complete the traverse, so our direction gave us a far better chance of finishing. The day we left the mountains it was +3c at 3000m at 9am. If we were going up from the Glacier Circle cabin during that warm up it would've been sketchy as hell. Decision making in the mountains is all about giving yourself a lot of margin for error, going North to South gave us that. Going South to North would've been more pleasurable but more dangerous.

Hey Cody, can you tell us what you took for glacier gear?
All conditions, all terrain.
