A list of climbs and summits I've done, migrated from summitpost when that website became unusable. A work in progress. This is mainly a place for me to document successful climbs and some memorable failures. Organized largely by mountain range / area.

Favorite Climbs
  • Dreamweaver on Mt. Meeker - with Brian.  Pure Type I fun.  The most fun I've ever had in the high alpine.
  • Winter traverse of Mount Timpanogos (failure) - with Mark.  A precise manifestation of Mark and I's propensity for suffering just for the sake of suffering.  A busted snowshoe forced us to bail down the west face about halfway.
  • Mount Wister, North Face East Chimney - with Brian.  A great adventure route, the first of several Teton climbs done in one-day roundtrip from SLC.
