Taking stock: day trips are bullshit
I’ve had a few ideas washing around my head for a while, and wanted to share some on my new favorite music, and result of both is the following video. Going through the material I realized that I’ve had quite a good 2011 thus far, and it also struck me that the numerous multiday trips…

Summer
The first sign of summer is the first trip where I’m dripping sweat, sucking water like crazy, and generally crawling from the heat. Tthis seems to happen in early June. Today, in fact. The plan; drive to GNP, bike from Avalanche to The Loop, hike to the snowline, skin up to Swiftcurrent Pass, summit the…

Big Mountain – Apgar traverse
Friday evening I was tired. On weeks like this past my work does not afford me much mental rest, and I despite plans to the contrary I did not have the wherewithall to pack and get out on the trail that evening. The plan had been for me to get out in time for the…

Backpacking on the Moon
Amazing, amazing trip this weekend. Since we first visited back in 2005 M and I have wanted to return and explore Craters of the Moon National Monument in greater depth.

The wilderness scale and packraft-friendly terrain would seem to make it the float in the lower 48. The long-form Chris and Al have been hiding. Awesome…

Luc is badass (found while researching the following). I would like some feedback on several things. First, the new template and layout. Readable? What sorts of info and organizational devices ought to be added? For example, I’m thinking of adding a top tab with links to my greatest hits. Thought from newer readers would be…

Packrafting the Grand Canyon
Super stylish route (with a massive shuttle) by the east coasters. It is great news that multiple permitted packraft trips, with unconventional entry and exit points, have been completed. Hopefully it will open the door to even more, and more hopefully, to a blending of the backcountry and river permitting process that would be less…
