Climbing Angel's Landing in a Snowstorm

After the permit system was implemented, I figured I would never get to do this hike again. So when we won the next day lottery, we went. Even though it was snowing. To be perfectly honest, it wasn't that bad with microspikes. I WOULD NOT recommend hiking this in snow or ice without them. We made an agreement that if anyone felt uncomfortable at any point, we would turn around. Unfortunately, Tina never got the chance to see if she would do it or not after she woke up around 5:30 AM sick with food poisoning. So she decided to stay at the hotel while Clint and I climbed it. I had one brief moment where I second guessed myself, but got over it quickly and continued on. The hike is always amazing, but under these conditions, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

  • I never knew i was afraid of heights until i watched this video. Unbelievable and breathtakingly beautiful. Y'all are nuts!! Kudos!

    I cannot imagine doing Angels Landing in snow and ice !!! Granted the crowds were much smaller, I did it in July for my 65th birthday, hundreds of hikers sharing the chains up and down, one and done for me. Great job and excellent video

    Started half watching this on my iPad. Stopped. Rewind. Put it on the giant tv in living room and invited my wife to watch it with me. Watched it with full attention. Vicariously climbed it with you. Fantastic footage! Thanks so much for sharing your hike with my wife and me!

    I usually hate music inserted into nature type videos, but yours was relaxing and non-intrusive. Thanks for the upload.

    Wow, that's incredible, gorgeous! Kudos to you and all who hiked that day. I would never do it, even in dry weather.
  • I honestly cannot think of any other more terrifying hike than this...really nerve wracking stuff!
  • Just beautiful but my anxiety level was at a 1000!!! Felt like I was watching free solo 😵‍💫 glad you guys are safe!
  • Australian here, I've become addicted to watching these hikes to Angel's Landing in all weather conditions since I found out it existed. What a stunning Winter Wonderland and what an amazing place. I watched a video of 4 teenagers perilously do the hike in icy conditions, without gloves or proper footwear. I had anxiety on their behalf. I was pleased you both had proper attire and sighed with relief when I saw those micro spikes get put on your shoes. Your video was so magical, I just loved it.

    Zion is absolutely incredible. My favorite National Park. Feels so godly. I've been tons of time but never in the snow. Such beautiful content man.

    This was BREATHTAKING, TERRIFYING, STUNNING, NAIL BITING, INSPIRING, HEART STOPPING, GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, JAW DROPPING, AGONIZING, ASTONISHING, STRESSFUL & a million other emotions all at once!!! WOW!!! Thank you for sharing this video! I've never yelled at my phone so much while watching a video... wanting to turn it off, yet unable to look away!

    In the summer of 1965, when I was ten, my sister and I went up the switch backs on horseback on a guided tour. She cried going up because she new how scary it would be going down; I cried going down because it was scary. Horses hung over the edge and their hooves slipped alone the narrow switchbacks. My horse was brown and his name was Bob. Thank you for this amazing tour in the winter. It resonated with me when you said that going down was harder. Beautiful footage and music. 🙏

    Climbing Angles Landing in the summer is epic, climbing it during a snowstorm…nuts. What a great video.
  • This is the best Angel's Landing video on the web. I actually had that same sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had when I was on the trail. As a photographer who lived in Arizona for years, I can't wait to pour through the rest of your videos. Liked and subscribed!

    Stunningly beautiful scenery with the snow and low clouds. Superb videography! But jeez, Jerry, you are a risk-taker, hiking Angel’s Landing in those conditions, despite wearing microspikes.
  • Ahhh so that’s what the top looks like, eh? Awesome video man.
  • Breathtaking!!! And terrifying! Thanks for sharing. FYI.. I'm the person who interrupted you on the trail Sunday morning to say hi and enjoy your work.
  • @hikinggirl58
