A Photo Trip Report from October, 2013
A Wind River Range Climbing Story: June 2013
An old teacher of mine once said that an adventure is only an adventure if there is, along with the chance of success, an equal or greater risk of epic failure.
East Buttress of Middle Cathedral, Serenity Crack, and Sons of Yesterday: April 2013
Through learning to rock climb over the past five years, I have made great friends and gotten to know some incredible places. My friend Justin introduced me to the sport (lifestyle?) and taught me most of what I know about it.
Higher Cathedral Spire and Split Pinnacle: May, 2011
After weekends and weekends of rain, the forecast finally looked clear for Yosemite Valley. I and three other weekend warriors from the Bay Area piled into the car late on Friday evening to drive up the hill. We were all psyched to climb Higher Cathedral Spire on Saturday and check out a new climbing spot on Sunday.
Everybody's All American: July, 2011
If it weren’t for a certain plant, I'm sure there’d be a plenty of trip reports spreading the word about the granite on Emerald Point. I'm guessing that what usually happens is that a crack-happy pair of climbers gets to the summit and are in awe of the rock quality, lack of crowds, and spectacular views. But by the time they have bush-wacked through 2 hours worth of Manzanita on the descent-- and in the process torn through clothes, lost shoes to aggressive bushes, and ripped their skin to shreds-- they are over the idea of a trip report and pretty happy to let the day slide into the recesses of their climbing memory.
