Last weekend I took a 3 dayer trip to Joshua Tree (had a great time, pics to come), the Monday I got back I decided to take an impromptu trip to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. This year was a banner year according to the rangers there. I’ve been once before in 2008 and [...]

Joshua Tree Weekends
This spring I’ve been heading out to Joshua Tree for more weekend only trips than ever before. So far it’s turned out great and we’ve been able to climb with different groups of friends (and crash their campsites).
I’m not caught up in terms of posting pics but here’s a video I made of the weekend [...]

East Face - Mt. Whitney - Trip/Epic Report
August - September 2008
This was to be my second time at the summit of Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States standing at 14,505 feet.
Was I nervous? Not really. I was a little apprehensive about the part where I’d be carrying not only my climbing gear but my backpacking gear and an [...]
Costa Rica Trip Report

Well even though we are both climbers, one of us (”him” she gestures with a thumb) had scheduled arthroscopic knee surgery a month before the wedding and another (”her” he gestures with his head) wanted to do something a little bit different than their [...]
