Pim and I hiked Mount Olympus on Friday. I am still sore. It is by far the steepest mountain I have ever hiked… 4,200 feet of elevation gain in just over three miles. The hike up was pretty good though… it was the three miles back down that were much more brutal. My toes and...

I’ve been traveling the country the past couple weeks, and got back to Utah in the middle of the night last week. I went to sleep, woke up the next morning, and climbed a mountain. That’s how we do it. It’s good to be back. First mountain of 2010: Grandeur Peak

Despite the recent snow, it was warm and breezy at the beach the other day (or rather, the sandy shore of a reservoir). And during my 13 straight hours of work that day, I really needed that brief time at the beach. ‘Twas glorious. (and that last one is a face, in case you were...
