A favorite view from last season working on Everest. We can see Everest, Lhotse and Lhotse Shar towering over some smaller sub peaks. I was standing at our high camp at Mera Peak filming this one, before we moved over to the Khumbu proper.
This time last year I was getting in some last minute training before heading over to freeze on the big guy. I’m excited to spend Spring at home this year, although with 7 trips over to the Himalaya so far, I know I’ll be back for more soon. It’s such an ineffably beautiful and powerful place.
It’s hard to believe that 4 short weeks ago we had this beautiful winter storm in Moab, and now it’s 90 degrees here for the next couple of days.
Ummm…. Is Spring in the room with us? Or did he bail out this year?

I’m in awe of these women and the joy they embodied during their hot air balloon adventure this weekend.
What a beautiful journey through the sky that I was lucky to witness with the lens and to match with my own joy.
Thanks to Kim, Blake and Wade for the creative assist.
More to come :)
Welcome to the Fisher Towers in Utah!
While we’re not officially related, down in our Moab HQ we’ve kind of got a thing for the Fisher Towers. Winter there is particularly epic, and oftentimes, hanging fog sneaks through this alien landscape. Precarious, unexpected, scary, these towers are absolutely daunting, and yet they are also popular for climbing (for some reason we can’t identify).
Our DP, @scottyrog , has been to the top of each of the major towers in the Fisher Towers group, (and back in the day, even BASE jumped off the tops). Wild!
It’s places like these where we love to explore: the absurd, the mystifying - anywhere that immediately commands a sense of awe. That’s the dream, right? To spend your life working and exploring in beautiful places?
