I’m excited to announce the release of a new video that I shot with Three Strings Productions and Mario. It’s about climbing the classic Steve Hong route, “Glad to be Trad” in Mineral Canyon. This is the route that is on the front of this month’s issue of Climbing Magazine–it was so beautiful, we went [...]
Every jump we did in France last September was unforgettable. My top two favorites of the trip were the Chateau des Chevres for its unique formation, and Varan. Varan seems like one of the ultimately aesthetic flights of the area, and I hope to go back and jump this mountain again someday. We were lucky [...]

It was winter and snowy on Castleton when we went to shoot it, [...]
If you haven’t ridden in a hot air balloon, you should do so immediately if not sooner. As a kid, I was fascinated with balloons after reading Jules Vernes “Five Weeks in a Balloon.” I mean, who wasn’t?? Sometime after that, I saw that movie where Baron von Munchausen escapes in a balloon made out [...]
Four years into base, I’m beginning to understand how air and wind are like water–but they are invisible.
