I climbed Mount Hood via the Pearly Gates route on June 21st, 2022. The route was in great shape and the weather was so nice we spent nearly an hour on the summit. This was a type-1 fun climb.

I climbed Aconcagua via the Ruta Normal route starting on January 24th, 2022. Though I didn't quite reach the summit, I am glad to have had the experience. If you want to see what the climb is like, this video will take you there.

I spent six days in the Enchantments on a core permit (June 21-26, 2021). We started at the Snow Lakes trailhead and exited the Stuart Lake Trailhead. This direction adds a few thousand more feet of ascent, and I wouldn't suggest it if you are thru-hiking it in a day, however, for longer trips it's a nice route. While in the core we scrambled up Cannon Mountain, Enchantment Peak, and McClellan ...

We climbed Mount Whitney via the Mountaineer's route on May 11-12, 2021. The route had just enough snow to avoid most of the loose scree. This route is a lot of fun, and topping out on the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States is a nice check mark on the list.

We climbed Mount Baker via the Coleman-Deming route on July 6th and 7th, 2020. The Coleman-Deming route includes glacier travel that requires ropes and crevasse rescue skills. I'm still very new to mountaineering but in the last couple years I've managed to go from a zero-knowledge neophyte to a certified beginner and every trip adds another tool to my toolbox. For some reason these suffer-fest...

We backpack in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of Washington State which is spectacular. Starting at the Pete Lake Trailhead we hike the Pete Lake Trail to, you might have guessed it, Pete Lake. From there we take the Lemah Meadows Trail to connect with the PCT then follow that north up the switchbacks to an elevation of 5,600 feet. From there we exit the PCT and follow the ridge to an overlook of ...

We hiked to Bridal Veil Falls and then up to Lake Serene, the water source of the falls. When you get up to Lake Serene be sure to follow the trail over the footbridge and up the hill to a large rock that is perfect for taking in the breathtaking views. May 15, 2020

On this trip I successfully climb Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl. La Malinche wasn't to be, however, Orizaba, the third highest summit in North America, was the real prize. This trip was through RMI Expeditions. Trip was from February 28 - March 8, 2020

I spent a week riding an adventure motorcycle (a modified DR650) around the Yucatan peninsula on a guided trip with Ko'oX Moto. We visited the Mayan ruins of Edzna, Uxmal, Kabah, and Sayil, we swam in too many cenotes to count and lastly, we visited the LolTun caves. The Yucatan peninsula of Mexico was amazing!

We hiked the Skyline Trail loop on November 5th, 2019. The skies were clear, the sun was out, and it was surprisingly warm! On clear days this 6 mile hike yields spectacular views of Rainier, Adams, St. Helens, and Hood. Highly recommended! Hike description from WTA.org The Skyline Trail is the main route for hiking out of Paradise, Mount Rainier’s south side hub and most popular destination, p...

This trip was through the Seattle Outdoor Adventurers (SOA) Meetup group. We attempted the Southeast Route as described at Summit Post www.summitpost.org/buck-mountain/151532 Southeast Route: take the Buck Creek Trail 1.5 miles past the 3,200-ft Chiwawa River Trail junction, which itself is 1.5 miles from the trailhead. Not too long after crossing the Chiwawa River, leave the trail and climb al...

In this video we climb Mount Adams via the South Climb route on August 26th & 27th, 2019. My only question is, does a summit of Mount Adams count if we weren't able to glissade? For TJ, this was his first time mountaineering and for Clayton and I, we climbed Rainier together just a short month ago. Though Rainier is 2,000' taller, Adams was still plenty difficult. Sadly, though Adams is renowne...

I successfully summited Mount Rainier via the Disappointment Cleaver route (DC route) through RMI Expeditions from July 19th - 23rd, 2019. Our guides were highly experienced and very professional. Though the winds were elevated on our summit attempt, our guides gave our strong climbers the option to push through the weather to reach the summit even though every other group on the mountain turne...

We started our hike at the Ira Spring Trailhead and headed up the main trail to Bandera Mountain (false summit or real summit - your pick), then we hiked down and over to Mason Lake, and finally we returned on the Mason Creek Trail which we had to ourselves even on a busy weekend day (July 14th, 2019). This was a fantastic make-your-own-sort-of-loop hike that I recommend highly.
