The past week Bobbi Clemmer and I have been climbing ice in Cody, Wyoming. Our first three days, we climbed four classics in the Boulder Basin/Lower & Upper Bench area - Bozo's Revenge (WI3+), Sendero Illuminoso (WI4), Animal Rights Activist (WI4+) and Hunter Creek Pillar (WI5).
Sleepy Ramble – Cookie Monster to Cat in the Hat (5.7, 3-5 pitches, II) – Mescalito Dome – Red Rocks NCA, NV (12.14.25)
Cookie Monster is a high quality 300 foot 5.7 on the East Face of Mescalito Dome that links seamlessly into the final and best two pitches of the Red Rocks easy classic Cat In The Hat (5.6, II).
One Turn Too Many – Southeast Couloir – South Teton – Grand Teton Nat. Park, WY (05.01.25)
The South Teton's Southeast Couloir is one of the steeper Teton ski descents. Considering it's remarkable roadside visibility, it sees very few suitors. Now I know why.
8 Days – 212 Miles – An Unsupported Journey on the John Muir Trail
In 7 days and 21 hours, I hiked all 212 miles of the John Muir Trail, entirely unsupported, from Yosemite National Park to the summit of Mount Whitney. A life-altering journey through the "Range of Light" (Repost, 2019)
