Good gear makes the expedition possible. A good crew makes the expedition profound.

Love my msr tent!
Thanks so much to the Tiltco team for having me on their ‘Leader Lab’ podcast recently to talk about a few lessons I’ve learned while exploring some of the wilder corners of the planet.
I often forget a lot of those key moments in life that have really helped to shape who I am, and it’s conversations like this one that bring them back! Be sure to check it out- Link below.

A couple of weeks ago I got to climb #bridalveil with Andres Marin and Jim Morrison. I have been looking at that imposing, beautiful, scary 300 feet of ice for almost 20 years! Turns out- it was pretty much as gnarly as I thought it would be. Both Jim and I took whippers while Andres was above laughing jovially at us #skierclimbers.
On the final pitch Andres said “cuidado, be very gentle here. The ice is very bad. “. Gentle with ice axes and crampons 😱. Nonetheless we finished the climb on a beautiful day right after Christmas. The🍻 afterwards never tasted better.
Wow. That is seriously awesome. Beautiful. Thx for sharing!
I’m getting fired up to head to the high mountains of the deep south with Jimmy Chin, Conrad Anker and Jim Morrison. Last time I was on a trip with Jimmy was Denali in 2011.
The Denali Experiment was a product of that trip, a trip that still remains one of my favorites. Thought I’d share this short film again as its still makes me laugh. If you haven’t seen it before- please check it out!! Link below. #tyreeorbust

So glad to see one of your friends doing the “tilt the head sideways to see the true steepness of a pitch” technique. I have tried to convince others that this works, but most people think I’m wacky. Great little movie too.

I’ve been using COROS Global watches for a few years now. In fact, Jim Morrison and I were some of the first testers for the VERTIX GPS series.
I wear COROS on all my expeditions, and the Vertix is my watch of choice to track all my ski mountaineering trips. I am so stoked to announce my partnership with them. Can’t wait for the journey ahead! COROS Global
I’ve been hoping/trying/dreaming about an expedition to Antarctica for many years. I don’t want to count my 🥚 before they’re 🐣 but it’s looking like the dream is going to become reality.
So excited to make the trip with Conrad Anker Jimmy Chin Jim Morrison, to bring our 🎿 and have an adventure and probably a #sufferfest.
