Just a lil mountain critter that spends a lot of time looking at a blinking box + about all of it's free time drinking from creeks and climbing peaks.

pinch me !!

can’t believe i got to spend a magical few days in this glacial paradise of british columbia’s coast mountains 🥹

from tracing my finger across a map of this stretch of glaciated terrain in 2023 to watching the weather everyday for the past few months, this trip has been a long time in the making and i am still on cloud nine that it all came together, even if at the sacrifice of a few of my toenails and an unfortunate amount of blisters. catch me wearing cushy socks and loose sandals for the foreseeable future. it was so worth it!!

Feeling nostalgic lately for this long walk through the sierra nevada mtns with one of my very favorite humans 🌞

looking forward to sun-soaked days wearing shorts in the mtns here soon. summertime here i come !!

i’ve been dreaming of a winter climb of Mount Ho

i’ve been dreaming of a winter climb of Mount Hood the past few months and this weekend the stars aligned. ✨

this climb challenged me. i started getting intense cramps in my legs halfway up the headwall and found myself totally humbled, gripping both my ice tools with all i had and dragging myself up the last 600 ft with more grunting than i’d care to admit.

when i reached the top of the chute, i stood with the bitter cold wind drying the tears on my cheeks and a wide grin — all the pain and strife i had just experienced on the wall forgotten. i reckon sometimes with how ridiculous it is that this is how i choose to unwind and spend to my free time, but i truly cannot imagine wanting it any other way.

grateful for the safe passage on this truly larger than life mtn.🤍

and got out of the car
