I took my dad down the Grand in his pool toy for trip #4, and I couldn't have done it without an amazing crew of friends. Thanks for the rally, thanks for the safety, and thanks for the stoke. Can't wait for the next one!
It only took me 20 years, but last Friday I finished Colorado's 58 14ers on Conundrum. Thanks to all the friends that have joined along the way. Big shoutouts to @highfiveeverything , @mojofamilymom , @scantril , and @lovecinema for multiple summits.

NEW ÜLTROÜT FINISHERS!!!
For those of you who aren't in the know, Ültroüt is the second of four levels of our progressive trail running / fly fishing / craft beer Troutman challenge series.
In Ültroüt, you earn the second buckle in the series by running at least 50 miles, gaining at least 5000 cumulative vertical feet, catching 5 different fish species, and drinking a 15% ABV beer (or equally awesome and prior-approved NA alternative) in under 18 hours.
Congrats to @lovecinema and @_iceman_dan for their epic journey!!!
w/ @athleticbrewing and @fremontbrewing and @travelcrestedbutte

The Green changed my life in so many ways and provided some of the best memories of my life. Much love to my friends that lost this river and more to Helene.
I hope the rest of my friends consider voting for someone that gives a shit about climate change come Tuesday.

We rode out the cold, slushy weekend in #ouraycolorado for some good ol’ tourism, hot springing, and hiking.
