  • Europe Bikepacking Part II 5/26 – 5/30

    Europe Bikepacking Part II 5/26 – 5/30

    The magical day biking and swimming along the Mediterranean had us seriously questioning our planned route through the Alps and we toyed with the idea of a last minute pivot to a trip along the coast. But the allure of high mountain passes and quiet villages was too strong and we opted to stick with…

    Europe Bikepacking Part I – 5/16-5/25

    Getting back from our van trip, Taryn and I arrived home to the exciting (and terrifying) reality that we were scheduled to leave for Europe in 8 days. We had tickets to Nice, France and I had a return ticket home from Copenhagen mid-July (my sister is living in Copenhagen and it seemed safe to…

  • West Coast Travels 5/3-5/15

    West Coast Travels 5/3-5/15

    This post is going to mainly be a photo dump in an attempt to catch up to more recent adventures. After the Eklutna Traverse, Taryn and I spent a few days in Alaska waiting to see if any further weather windows would materialize. Unfortunately the warm temperatures continued and the spring shed was in full…

  • Eklutna Traverse 4/27-4/29

    Eklutna Traverse 4/27-4/29

    We slept in the morning of the 25th, exhausted from back-to-back big days, and headed to a coffee shop to figure out our next moves. To our frustration the weather in the PNW still looked terrible for the next week. With our dreams of Cascade skiing looking more and more unlikely we wracked our brains…

  • Three Sisters Traverse 4/24

    Three Sisters Traverse 4/24

    Back at the car after a great morning of skiing Taryn and I pondered our next move. All of our objectives lay to the north. While we wanted to end up in the Cascades, an obvious stop along the way was the Three Sisters outside of Bend. I had spent a week skiing at Mt.…

  • Mount Shasta – 4/23

    Mount Shasta – 4/23

    After a fun few weeks enjoying the mountain west, Taryn and I decided to turn our focus towards the west coast. Taryn had several things to wrap up in Salt Lake City so I drove the van out to San Francisco to spend a week hanging with friends. Some yummy dinners, excellent surfing, and a…

  • La Sal Linkup 4/8

    La Sal Linkup 4/8

    No real write up for this one, but a cool little solo linkup of the three tallest peaks in the La Sals that I managed to sneak in on the way home after dropping Taryn off at her course.

  • San Juans – 3/28-4/7

    San Juans – 3/28-4/7

    I’ve fallen far too far behind on adventure write ups so going to keep this one quick. After coming back from Canada Garrett, Taryn and I were supposed to head to Alaska for some spring skiing but we bailed due to weather (probably a mistake based on this report). Instead we decided to head to…

  • Fairy Meadows Part III 3/9-3/11

    Fairy Meadows Part III 3/9-3/11

    After two days of getting sendy, Taryn and I decided it was time to get back to our roots. Feeling antsy for an early start and craving the simplicity of dialed partners, we made plans to ski with Duncan and Shanna. I’ve always considered myself pretty impatient when conditions are good and I want to…

  • Fairy Meadows Part II 3/7-3/8

    Fairy Meadows Part II 3/7-3/8

    We woke up to stormy weather the next day; a welcome break after the previous two days. With non-existent visibility in the alpine, we decided to check out the trees near the hut. Our day’s travel was the following: We left the hut at a leisurely 9:45, planning to head up the slopes above the…
