We headed out to F.E. Walter Dam yesterday to get on the wall for some deep water soloing. We all know that every year their comes a time when the water level gets too low from dam releases to safely climb, and unfortunately we decided that after this coming weekend, the level will be down
“Where the hell am I?” I gasped for air as I came to, the first thing that came to my mind was “Where the hell am I?”. As I heard a familiar voice ripple through the transition between unconscious and conscious: “Dude are you ok?” My panicked reply: “Someone turn on a goddamned light.” As
Often overshadowed by the more well-known Yellowstone National Park to the north, Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park offer's some of the West's most impressive mountain views, hikes and other scenery. Honestly, I personally believe this sleeper hit has just as much, if not more to offer visitors than Yellowstone. In 2011, A few friends and

Vedauwoo is one of those lesser visited climbing areas that many people either over look, or may not even know about. Since it is located only about 2 hours from the Boulder area, I feel a lot of climbers just head there instead. Last week, the Main Wall Collective team and I headed to Vedauwoo
Yesterday we were exploring deep reaching parts of Vedauwoo, Wyoming. The road was rough, and unforgiving but Heather's Subaru pulled through and we made it in and out of our destination. The rest of this week I will be exploring the Denver area some more as well as heading back to Vedauwoo for a video
Two years ago, I took on the challenge of Mount Rainier, the most glaciated mountain in the lower 48 states. I always wanted to climb that mountain, and my dream was about to be realized. Since not everyone is fortunate enough to achieve their dreams, I decided that I would climb this for charity, thus
