Wow, well done! That looks amazing! Contrary to many I actually love climbing in crampons, but I could not believe you were doing it basically in trailrunners, thats a whole other level. Am can't wait for the summer to arrive in full force!

Love waterfalls! Another fun video. Hey Adam, rattlers bugs me too. Hiking here in the deserts of eastern washington, I encounter rattlesnakes several times each year. Even hearing them rattle in the bushes next to the trail is nerve racking.

Hesperoyucca whipplei, aka; Our Lord’s Candle , from the Agave family. And lots of beautiful monkey flower! Snakes are the worst part of summer hiking . Good to hear I’m not the only one who is constantly on the lookout. Once you have a standoff with a coiled rattler on the trail, you won’t laugh so much Elise!

"This is so scary", "This is really hard", "I'm super nauseous"; all delivered in the most conversational of tones. Y'all are not of this Earth but I'm glad you decided to visit. Great video!

Hopefully the hawks will eat the snakes! Looks like a wonderful hike- didn’t realize it is so green.

Walking that ascent with walking sticks rather than ice picks seems a bit suicidal. Walking it half naked might attract a couple more views but cannot be considered alpinist best practice. You get a lot a praise for completely unsafe behavior. It‘s really a bad example of alpinism, if you can call that, despite the fact that you made it.

Loving the waterfall season. We climbed up a series of waterfalls in the Lake District last weekend on a rare sunny day in England. So much fun and the best way to cool off. You certainly enjoyed your splash in the pool. It looked amazing 🥰

Your Mount Whitney hike was sketchy!! That waterfall looked freezing cold! Those circling birds were definitely vultures, not hawks. Condors are a vulture, but given how scarce they are, I don't think they were CA Condors.

Awesome! Circling carrion birds, mobbed something dead? Or about to be? When they circle you beware!

At 5:23 is a Chaparral Yucca. (I did have to look it up but they're all over your area).

At 4:09 are Turkey Vultures and what they're "hunting" is dead or dying things.

Rattlesnakes are very shy and want nothing to do with you. Have you been to the Lover's Leap climbing area off Hwy 50? They're all over the place and you rarely hear of a climber being bitten.

I love you guys so much! You’re an inspiration and this was awesome! ❤

Adam…Wildflower on! Love it

What was following you in the bushes? I was hoping a bear or something didn't pounce on you.😟

Yucca is the plant with the tall flowery stock! 👌

Turkey vultures 🤟😎

Love your mountaineering videos! Keep it going, you summited the highest peak in the Alps and recently in the contiguous us. Insane!

you could always count cards too. i just got into this year and it works, just takes a lot of concentration at first but after about 100 hours of play it becomes second nature. and you'll be relatively close to reno and vegas, plus there are a lot of great tribal casinos in CA

Turkey vultures. They don’t hunt; they eat carrion (already dead stuff).

The white flower-Yucca.

Adam sees a mtn lion “Why not friend if friend shaped?” 😂

Turkey vultures

If you haven't followed these two amazing people, you need to. There hikes are all amazing with great footage. They are also very nice and kind to the people that follow them too. One of the best channels on UA-cam

Cool video! I worked at a monument in NM that had plenty of rattlesnakes, and we had training from the guy who runs a rattlesnake museum. What I learned is that in all your adventures you probably were within five feet of a rattler numerous times. They only go into an offensive mode if they feel threatened. They are a lot more scared of you than you are of them… well, except for Adam. 😊 We had to relocate many or just get them to move from where visitors normally go.

That looks like a beautiful little hidden gem. Also, I was a big fan of the song that was playing while you two were at the waterfall!

Another fabulous and fun video. I adore you two! Thank you for putting a smile on my face! 🥰

Way too much fun! Adam's right, if it was a cat, you likely wouldn't hear it. Those big cats are scary! Glad you two made it back safely!

I recently moved to prime rattlesnake territory - Southern Arizona. I recently crossed paths with two large ones while hiking, but the snake gaiters I wear give me peace of mind.

❤ GR8 VID ~ LOVED IT ❤

YEA! What a great contrast to the Whitney SufferFest 🤣. Love you guys!

I prefer conflicts with mammal brains although I find reptile brains make interesting peaceful encounters. I'm *definitely* not scared of bird brains. One thing to keep in mind, we always assume humans are being picked on in reports of conflicts with wild life. But really? Maybe when they tell their stories that way. But I think it is mostly the other way round, sometimes humans blundering into a misunderstanding, then a small fraction of wildlife aggression. The scariest creature I can think of sneaking up on my tent at night is homo sapien.

Elise, the bottom of your feet are far tougher than mine. I could never walk around barefoot in places like that.

That’s a blooming yucca plant.

I’m with Elise - much rather deal with a snake (they really don’t want confrontation) than a mountain lion, who, if hungry, will kill you easily.

Hello Adam....I am there with you on the snakes. I have countless and countless many times have come into a snake area while we'd be walking through the woods or desert at night in the army. I don't like hearing them....and not seeing them in the dark. I hope you two are well. I just had a night in Orange County last night and we are now up by Stockton CA for 3 nights. I am currently trying to determine what there is to do in this area. My wife and I just returned from 2 weeks of camping in the Tucson area. We went there to 1) get out of the lingering Colorado high country winter and 2) to consider moving there. I think we are going to make a go at it; but not until next year.

Adam you got snake boots on .

we appreciate you too adam. I need to check out this hike soon, gorgeous trail.

You guys are absolute legends! It was uncomfortable to watch you scaling those vertical icy walls (that your camera has already flattened out) even from the comfort of my bed... Can't imagine being there at this time of the year. Absolutely spectacular... But we also want to keep watching you, so, please, stay safe!

ELISE and ADAM a hello from France. What a pleasure to see you under this waterfall, you have a blast like big children. In most of your videos, majestic birds accompany you, it's probably a nod to nature protecting you. Alone in this lush nature with the most beautiful flowers, you can meet dangerous snakes and mammals, and I can't help but make this little joke, when will the E-T and their UFO come? More seriously, you forgot to list the hairy tarantula that once blocked the passage of ELISE. ADAM I find your shimmering red shorts, proof that the new sunny season is here. I'm waiting for these new adventures with great videos that I won't fail to watch. Kisses to you both. DAN ELISE et ADAM un bonjour de France. Quel plaisir de vous voir sous cette cascade, vous vous éclatés comme de grands enfants. Dans la plupart de vos vidéos des oiseaux majestueux vous accompagnent, c’est sans doute un clin d’œil de la nature qui vous protège. Seuls dans cette nature luxuriante aux fleurs les plus belles, vous pouvez rencontrer des serpents et des mammifères dangereux, et je ne peux m’empêcher cette petite plaisanterie, à quand les E-T et leurs UFO ? Plus sérieusement, vous avez oubliés d’énumérer la tarentule velue qui a par le passé barrée le passage à ELISE. ADAM je retrouve ton chatoyant short rouge, preuve que la nouvelle saison ensoleillée est bien là. J’attends ces nouvelles aventures aux superbes vidéos que je ne manquerais pas de visionner. Bises à vous deux. DAN

nice little jaunt past the blooming yucca plant! It's waterfall season but also yucca season too! Sadly it's tornado season here for us in NE... 😢

such fun ADAM AND ELISE

Decades ago, a memorable encounter with a rattlesnake left a lasting impression on me. My coworker and I were working among oak trees near Angels Camp during the summer. As we were making our way through the area, we stumbled upon a large rattlesnake coiled up and rattling its tail. It was my first time seeing a wild rattlesnake, and I was both fascinated and terrified. The most unsettling part of the encounter was when my coworker used a long chainsaw to lop off the snake's head. The decapitated head continued to move, opening and closing its mouth in a bizarre and unnerving manner. In a precautionary measure, my coworker picked up a nearby boulder and crushed the head to prevent any potential harm to others. After ensuring the snake's head was no longer a threat, my coworker proceeded to the headless snake, still coiled up and writhing. He carefully picked up the snake, wearing his leather gloves, and used his buck knife to cut off the rattle as a souvenir. It was the first and last time I touched a rattlesnake's rattle in my life. My coworker shared an interesting fact about baby rattlesnakes, warning that they should be avoided at all costs. According to him, young snakes lack control over the amount of venom they release, and would release it all at once. I can understand why he would be concerned about these venomous creatures. The experience had a profound impact on me, and I've been extremely cautious when hiking in California ever since. The encounter remains etched in my memory, a reminder of the importance of being aware of the wildlife that inhabits our natural surroundings. I am also afraid of snakes. Can't blame Adam for being cautious. Glad you two had a great time hiking. : )

Brilliant vid as always Elise & Adam. You're right Adam, don't want to meet a rattlesnake anytime soon ! 🐍 Those vultures, incredible wingspan, gliding on the thermals, might've been circling one of rattler's victims ! Seeing a mountain lion would be awesome, unless it's on a mission to find a "Poptart" for the "snack spot" ! 😺😸 ❤ ☀️ 🦁 ⛰

When I saw Adam's shorts my glasses fell off, all good bro, glad you guys are having fun.

You guys had me cracking up! Adam’s demise will be Elise the mountain cougar 😂👍🏽. Fun video you guys!

turkey vultures by the looks of it..

5:28 It's an Agave Bloom in partial bloom.
