THE GRAND TETON

Standing 13,775' above sea level the Grand Teton is an iconic mountain steeped in history. With a long approach, unpredictable weather patterns, high altitude and only accessible through technical rock climbing, achieving it's summit is never guaranteed.

Half Dome

Sometimes the word "epic" is used as a noun instead of an adjective. On Memorial day I climbed my first route in Yosemite National park.  The route was Snake Dike on the iconic monolith Half Dome.  It was definitely my greatest epic.

The Matthes Crest

The Matthes Crest

The Matthes Crest is one of the most classic knife-edge ridges anywhere. Stunning scenery, fun climbing, and stomach- churning exposure combine to make Matthes Crest a true gem. Five star alpine climbing that is better than I dreamed of, and I dreamed about it for some time!
