That Time Mike Wolfe Ran Up Mount Baldy, in the Bridger Range, eight times in a 24 hr period.

Using mixed media effects combined with still images to create a
timelapse and parallax effect made with Lightroom, Premier Pro, and
Photoshop. I enjoy revisiting work in my 300K photo and video archive of assets to reshape a story with new tools that come online to us creators. It’s a way to tell the story again reFRESHED.  Through tiny snippets of pixel dust showing moments in time that inspire others.
Enjoy!


Mike shared with Patagonia why he did and here are a few of his quotes from the article.

“I can run it from my house. I ski it in the winter. I hunt elk on its flanks and hike there with my kids. I can see it out the kitchen window.”

“Last spring I ran laps on it for 24-hours. Pure up-down Alter laps. 8 laps in 24hrs, 33,000 feet of vert in 65 miles.”

“It was my personal homage and paying respects to this mountain that has taught me so much.


Respect.


P.S.
That’s over 34,400 feet. 🏃‍♂️
The cool memory from shooting that day was that it was a communal event. Mike had multiple people join him for one or more laps every lap he did except for one.

in the Cheétawaxaawe Range (translated as Wolf Mountains or Bridger
Range) on the homelands of the Apsáalooke (Crow), Peigan (Blackfeet),
Salish, Kootenai, Shoshone, and Cree Nations. The ancient Indigenous
history on either side of the Ridge is rich, with dozens of nations
traveling seasonally through the Shields and Gallatin Valleys.⁠⠀
