Linus begins his climb discussing the drop camp options to start his multiday hike to the summit of Granite Peak via the Southwest Ramp. He discusses using a Polaris offroad vehicle and horses to transport people and supplies into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness of southern Montana just north of Yellowstone NP. Granite Peak was Linus' 47th U.S. State Highpoint which he climbed in July 2025.
