Halloween Horseshoes

Nov 3, 2009

Nice toss Christy! I’ve played disc golf at 17,200 feet (Everest Basecamp- see below) but horseshoes at 14K? It was a first for me. Click to enlarge. After a string of fall storms brought snow to much of the state, winter has been on everyones mind. Usually we’re excited to pull the stuff out of the closet and head up to Castle Peak’s Montezuma Basin for some early season skiing...

Apr 28, 2009

Ethics, Aesthetics, and Mount Bross Christy decided it was time for a challenge. Through the years she had honed her skills on peaks in the San Juans, Sangres and Elks and she was at her peak in terms of physical and mental toughness. The weather looked good, the snowpack was stable– everything was right. She was ready for Mount Bross. Mount Bross – 14,172 ft. The line: This required perfect...

Up top, not much to see here, either. Route: South Slopes Team: Ted, Chris Davenport Even though I had already skied Mount Sherman once in 2004, I still welcomed Chris’s invitation to do something different and get out of Aspen for the day. We could talk up some more exciting trips for spring and maybe somewhere down the road he would return the favor and come along with me when...

White Rim in a Day was going great, until it wasn’t. 🚴🚑🤕 At mile 91, five miles from the end, a careless drift into a rut sent me over the bars and onto my left shoulder- broken clavicle and two ribs… ouch! 👎 Thankfully, we were nearly at the car so getting out wasn’t too bad, it actually could have been a lot worse if the crash happened elsewhere. Driving out from Mineral Bottom didn’t feel good on the ribs but soon enough we were on our way home and to the ER by midnight. 🏥 Three days later (Friday) my collarbone was put back together 🛠 and, with some time, should be 100% 👍😀 Thanks to @ajdocken and @jpettlinger for a fun day and for getting me out of there! 🙏👊 So that’s a wrap for my summer/fall season, time to start thinking ahead to winter ❄️⛷🎿 see you then!

Feeling grateful for the last few days and time sp Feeling grateful for the last few days and time spent with this living legend. Thank you @reinholdmessner_official for coming to our mountain community to share your beautiful perspective on adventure, life, and challenges. A good reminder that mountains are not there for summits, but to give us opportunities to learn about ourselves. #kalipè #Alwayswithsmallsteps #mindbodyspirit #lettheoutsidein
“If we do not take action to stop the effects of “If we do not take action to stop the effects of climate change, some of which we’re already experiencing, the hut experience that we know and love might cease to exist.”

So proud of the work @10thmtnhuts is doing around climate - from wildland fire mitigation plans, renewable energy, to motivating hut users to stand up for climate friendly policies. 

Thanks for the feature article @backcountrymag and @tessjweaver And for the incredible leadership of Ben Dodge and our board!
