This week's entry was my heaviest trip this year. For the weeks building up to the trip, I have to say, I was very nervous. I have never done any technical climbing at such high altitude and was curious how I'd fair.
Adventure
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.
Adventure
With over 5000' of climbing and covering five mountains over 14.000' tall, the Thunderbolt to Sill Traverse has been my greatest accomplishment in alpinism.
Adventure
First time to Oregon, first time to Smith Rock State Park, first climb we ascend the iconic Monkey Face.
Adventure
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.
