Grand Opening!

This is my new website for posting trip reports and anything else of interest. The Wasatch Mountains are my new home base, as well as the home of the greatest snow on earth (500-600+ inches/year is the average). Its amazing to have such an incredible mountain range right at your doorstep that is a hub for backcountry skiing, sport & trad climbing, trail running, hiking/backpacking, etc., and it would take a decade to merely explore the mountains and canyons within 30 minutes of Salt Lake City... let alone the rest of Utah. I'll definitely be taking advantage of the opportunities around me, and this blog will chronicle the adventures.

The image on the site banner is the north ridge of Little Cottonwood Canyon. I took that picture from the top of the Snowbird tram in April.

The big trip for summer 2010 is the John Muir Trail. We're also hoping to finish the Colorado 14ers, climb a whole bunch of peaks in the Wasatch, and tag a few of the Tetons (South/Middle... saving the Grand for 2011).
