Over the 4th of July weekend this year I lucked into a last-minute overnight permit for the Shadow Creek trailhead at Ansel Adams Wilderness, in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, California. I decided to see how close I could make it in single day up towards the rugged peaks of the Minarets, a classic Sierra climbers’ playground with extreme ridgelines and glaciated alpine lakes.

In September 2023, I traveled with my friend Brian to northern Washington for an expedition to Mt. Baker with Northwest Alpine Guides. Baker is only 10,781 ft tall but heavily glaciated making it an ideal spot to begin alpine mountaineering.
In August 2017, I traveled to South Carolina to observe the total solar eclipse. I brought with me an old Celestron C90 spotting telescope and my camera to see what I could capture. I was very lucky, as we found a secluded lakeside location to view the event and were just able to see totality before clouds descended on us.
