Whew…what a a long weekend…so good, so fun, so much climbing! This amazing group met at the usual first day place, Haffner, and proceeded to get after it on lots of ice and some fun mixed lines. It is hard to not give it everything when you are having fun, but people showed some good …
Well, it has been a while since I wrote. Since then, much has happened. Bozeman was a great trip. When I got home, it was back to work! Can’t complain too much about that though since I have a pretty great job. Ran a bunch of fun instructional days for the ACC, and a great …
Well it has been a while since I last put up a post. I remember last year writing about the Bozeman Icefest, and how it reinspired me a ton. Turns out the same has happened again! Having just rolled back last night after a 10 hour drive, I have had a bunch of time to …
Recently I had the incredible opportunity to explore the East Coast of Newfoundland with Will Gadd and his entourage…Alex and Christian. I had never been out that far East and have always wanted to. The landscape and people did not disappoint. The climbing…that might not have been the highlight, but the adventures on and off …

So I wrote a post earlier about goals…and as the summer starts to wind down I find myself frustrated, obsessed, and a bit disappointed in my lack of attempts towards some of the things I really want to do. I SO wanted to do a traverse I thought would be fun in Rogers Pass but …
Whew…this was another great trip! Good, weather, great peeps, and a truly amazing setting! Kir and I ran this trip last year and decided to run it again this year due to popular demand. It is a hard, taxing and exposed traverse…and we were super impressed with the girls on this course! We met up …
This year, this veteran group of mountaineers decided we would head into the Adamants to explore the peaks out of Fairy Meadows. I was super excited as I had never been in there. Kir had though, numerous times, so she knew that it would make a wonderful venue. We flew in from the same Heli …
I’ve lost count to which camp this is for Kir and I…I think 5 years now? Regardless, it is one of our favorites, with the setting, the great hut, the amazing opportunities it lends, and most of all the INCREDIBLE group of women that come out for it! This year was NO exception, and 7 …
I was hiking back from a fun day at the Lookout in May with Matt Mueller. We talked about how cool it would be to run a redpoint course, a skill, many climbers don’t tap into to up their climbing standards . Turns out Matt, had organized this course already with the ACC Rocky Mountain …

Had a fabulous day out with Maria yesterday. Despite the super unsettled weather, and cold temps, we persevered on the original plan to do Raptor. I hadn’t climbed this in probably 8 years, so it felt totally new to me again! I forgot how challenging the 5.10 pitches were and how slippery things have become! …
