📍 Trip Reports
Here you’ll find genuine beta from long traverses, sunrise summits, and off-the-grid days in some of the most beautiful places on Earth. My focus is on staying safe while exploring wild, remote landscapes and sharing those experiences with you.
What to Expect:
- Weekly trip reports covering a wide range of adventures—from ski traverses in Japan to alpine climbs in the Sierra. Be sure to check back regularly for fresh mountain content!
- Climbing reports from over twenty traditional climbing areas across the U.S., including Red Rock, Yosemite, Cochise, Granite Mountain, and Idylwild. International destinations will also be featured, such as the Bugaboos, Chamonix, Turkey, Cochamo, Frey, multi-pitch routes in Spain, Mexico and more.
- Ski touring adventures from around the world: a month in Japan, the French Alps, months in Canada, and the Cascades. Plus, multi-year journeys through Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and the Sierra.
- Mountain ranges and areas where I have the most experience include the Wasatch, Red Mountain Pass, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Tetons.
Thanks for stopping by — I hope these stories inspire your own adventures in the mountains!
