Mount Bancroft


Matt Walsh and I finally got out to Mount Bancroft to climb the East Ridge on July 7. It was a great climb full of class 3 and 4 with a little class 5 climbing mixed in.
The highlight may have been the rappel. Neither of us had rappelled in quite some time. It was only 70 feet or so, but very fun indeed.

Anniversary Balloon Ride


Adria and I went on a hot air balloon ride for our third anniversary today, July 1. Yes, that is me helping with balloon inflation.
A local magazine editor and photographer rode along to take pictures and record the trip for an upcoming issue. I will link the online copy here in August when it publishes.

Family Visit to the Maroon Bells


The Zirms and Hohmans headed out the Carbondale for an overnight on June 16 and the next morning we hiked around the Maroon Bells.
Celeste, Mom, Tom, Adria, and I hiked up to Crater Lake. It was a great weather day and a good time was had by all.
