Lindsay, Angie, Craig and Nick descend the Emmons Glacier. Last April, when warm weather and dusty snow seemed to call an end to the Colorado spring ski season, we booked tickets to the Pacific Northwest and set our sights on some peaks in the Cascades.

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!
