Nolan’s 14 Recap

Sep 8, 2016

In 2016 I finished Nolan’s 14 in 55:37 following the route north from Mt Shavano to Mt Massive, a near 100 mile course that climbs 14 14ers along the way.

Looking for a moderate distance trail run that gets you up into the high alpine? Do you prefer loops to out-and-backs, so that you don’t have to travel along the same trail in both directions?

Christy and I went to Twin Lakes to run Mount Elbert last weekend, a favorite outing of ours and a pretty novel running experience considering it’s the tallest mountain in the state.

Route: Box Creek Cirque Team: Ted, Sean Shean In late spring of 2011, Sean Shean and I skied the Box Creek Cirque on Mount Elbert. This was my final ski day of the 2011 spring season, and the second time I had skied Mount Elbert. By this late in the season, the summer trail is mostly dry. We hiked the route from the South Elbert trailhead in our running shoes,...

Jul 16, 2008

One of the best things about having some big goals on the horizon is getting prepared. Friday evening we went up to Turkey Rock for an easy two pitches of rock climbing. The next morning, we headed over the pass towards Twin Lakes to Monitor Rock where we had a climb of the ‘Trooper Traverse’ planned. At 5 pitches in length and with a crux difficulty rating of 5.8 it was...

The cirque has several couloirs to ski. Route: Box Creek Cirque Team: Christy, Ted, Dirk Bockelmann With a perfect weather forecast for the next few days, Christy and I went directly from Mt. Bierstadt to Mt. Elbert. We met up with Dirk and Sable at the Mt. Elbert trailhead, near the Lakeview Campground. Some comfy car camping with a big fire made for an easy night and following morning. We...

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!
