Trailer to Joy! A Short Film of a Seven Year Old's Winter Summit Hike and Scramble

One half of our seven-year-old twins, Connor, and I went on a winter training hike as he progresses towards his first winter ascent of a Colorado 14er and starts to ready himself for true mountaineering. Hiking and scrambling on snow makes everything just a little bit harder, so it was nice to see his determination and sense of accomplishment. Unlike most of our videos, this one isn't instructional; the full version is just a short film to celebrate the joy my family and I find in the outdoors.
