Mountaineering·

Snow teaches impermanence. Ice demands honesty. Rock invites dialogue. The mountains strip away everything I am not—and what remains is enough.

Colorado High Peaks & Ouray Backcountry

Multi-season climbing above treeline. Ice and mixed routes in the Ouray backcountry.

The Cascades & Canadian Rockies

Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, Banff region peaks, Mount St. Helens

Glaciated volcanoes. Crevasse rescue, rope travel, alpine starts.

Kilimanjaro · Tanzania

High altitude, sustained ascent

Summit via Machame. Six days, 19,341 feet.

What Comes Next

Cotopaxi · Chimborazo · Aconcagua

High-altitude objectives. Ecuador and Argentina.

Glaciers stood before the first of us. They will remain after the last. Against that scale, confidence moves carefully. Insecurity rushes. I climb to learn where the limits are—and to move freely within them.
