Did you know that you could burn 707 calories per hour by going rock climbing?? I didn’t but supposedly I did and might have even endorsed this statement…. Might be hard to read here…but I was honored with being interviewed by Self Magazine on an article about trying new things that you have always wanted …
Cloaked in a large grey hoody, multiple layers and sweat pants, Tree takes in the morning one breath at a time. She is a fighter. Her over sized attire, her uniform. Every day is attacked with the same fervor of a professional boxer, yet her fight doesn’t just start or end on the rock that …
You may have seen me… Yes..this ad has caused me some grief….enough so that I didn’t allow myself to wear this awesome alibi jacket until I thought the ad had stopped getting used, and I avoided the entire Banff Film Festival unable to swallow the idea that my face was going to be on the …

It’s that time of year again!

Our last day and we weren’t going to get scooped on our objective…Tokkumn Pole in Marble Canyon. This climb is the Bow Valleys Ouray…our own little slot canyon graced with one beautiful, intimidating and magnificent pillar of ice. There are other mixed routes in the canyon, but Tokkumn is the most popular of the routes …

As luck would have it one car …
