A stunningly beautiful stop motion video of my favorite place on earth.

Been training hard at the climbing gym this winter and I'm taking a much needed rest, but I got some "cross-training" in today while shoveling snow at Rosann's - with some "help" from Denali of course!


Feed me more snow, please?

FYI, I was accepted to the American Mountain Guides Association Rock Instructor Course this past week, as was my climbing partner Chad. It will be conducted at Smith Rock in Oregon next April for ten days. This course is not required by my work, but I'm looking to learn some new skills and techniques for guiding in a rock climbing setting. It's also a step toward official AMGA certification as a guide. I'm not yet certain I'll go that route, but it's a possibility. At the least it provides an added motivation for training!

Cool video of the North Face Team skiing on Denali around the same time I was there with Alpine Ascents. Some great scenery of the mountain. Interesting to hear these world-class free riders' impressions of high altitude mountaineering.

My brother's band, Hey Marseilles recently released an EP with two new songs, and they're good ones. Available through the Hey Marseilles store, iTunes and Amazon.
