A Camera Built for Abuse

I've had bulky cameras that took beautiful pictures and tiny cameras that took crappy pictures; and I've learned that if the camera is so inconvenient to lug around that you don't bother bringing it, then you end up with no pictures. Finding the balance

All Done with the Ice Climbing

We are finally done with ice climbing. Three days of it. Well, today was more of a half day. It's just exhausting after a while. Ouray Ice Park is amazing, although I understand there's little point in showing up on a weekend unless you get out

Every expedition to Denali National Park requires a team name; even if you're solo. And if I were solo'ing, I think I'd go with the team name "Me". It's almost worth going there solo if only to use that team

Alaska III

It's a go. May 8th we're leaving for Alaska and by the 10th we should have our feet firmly planted on the Kahiltna Glacier. A couple weeks later (or a few weeks, if the weather sucks), we'll be standing on the top of Mt.

Ouray
