Mountains in my Blood
Mountain adventure
has always been a part of my life. My parents met
while backpacking in the Olympic Mountains in the summer of 1974, got married within a year, and proceeded to spend
much of the 70s and early 80s trekking around Washington's rugged ranges. I was born in May 1983, and just three months later they took me on
my first overnight (and international!) backpacking trip near Mt. Temple, BC; I was eaten alive by bugs, but
reportedly I had a smile on my face the entire time. My first real
alpine climb was at the age of 11, when my dad and I climbed Overhanging
Tower in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. My technical climbing skills
developed during my undergraduate years at Stanford University (class of '06), situated just a few
hours from Yosemite. Since then, I have lived numerous days following and continuing my parents' boot tracks, mountaineering and alpine
climbing all over western North America and especially in the close-to-home North Cascades of Washington. I am incurably afflicted.
My website provides trip reports for numerous alpine climbs and multiday mountain expeditions, as well as a few exciting roadtrips and aerial photography adventures. No matter how tough or long the climb, my camera always comes along, so there are plenty of photos.

Every Christmas I make a calendar for my friends and family. This year the theme of the calendar is "Aerial North Cascades," containing 13 carefully selected high-quality aerial images of Washington's rugged and beautiful glaciated North Cascades. Each month is represented by an aerial photo taken during that month. Here is a
