It's been a while......a back injury that has knocked me on my A$$ for most of this year, traveling back to Ireland for wedding antics and not a whole lots of training ... it felt oh so good to get out and do a decent jaunt with my brother @krislovesmountains !
Feeling good, let's see what fun we can get up too for the next few months now 🙂🙌
If I could sum up happy moments in life... this would be it. Mountains mates and all of the good times. ❤️🙌
Nothing else required!
3 day ski and camp trip in Blackcomb backcountry. ⛷️🏔
Pic#5 - Cougar came for a visit 🦁😅
A fun Saturday running Run Ridge Run with @laurey_ger ! 25km of a tough undulating course. There weren't many mellow legs on this one! 🤪
Thanks @coastmtntrail for throwing an awesome event as you always do!
Wow, what a spicy (but fun) adventure this was! 🌶️🏔️
What should have been a 3rd/4th class moderate rock scramble, quickly turned into a 5th class snow ascent when we took the wrong gully (despite ample planning, a route description, and a gpx file.. lol). After successfully summiting, we made every effort to find the correct (and safer) gully down… which we very much failed to do 😬
Grateful for the quick thinking, calm communication, and emotional support needed to make it home from this objective in one piece. Extra thankful for @simonn284 who helped me regulate and stay focused when I went into panic mode. Many things were learned on this day!
Glad we got you Mount Sloan, but the #1 priority is always getting home safely 🙏🏻
A fantastic day hitting up the West lion with these two newly knighted mountain goats!🐐🐐 @laurey_ger & @sebastiangreaves
An early start to avoid the heat, hitting the trail at a solid pace we managed to crush the West lion - 18km / 1492m gain / 6 hours.
As always working as a tight team, looking out for another we made it up top! Overcoming some serious exposure (this "popular" route is not for faint hearted/under-experienced)
Risk = high AF.
Well done team! You kicked ass! 🐐🐐🔥🏞😁
