26. 11. 2019 05:40:30
John Bolte and I cruised out to Sequoia National Park to repeat a new free route that was put up on the Watchtower a couple months before.

After getting off the Nose in 4 days on 11/3, I took one rest day to strategize a NIAD run with Chris Farrah. Chris hadn't been on the Nose in over a year and we had no idea what our time would be. We were hoping for something in the 12 to 14 hour range but we would not have been surprised if it too... |

7. 11. 2020 15:47:06
After spraining my ankle two weeks earlier hiking down the east ledges of El Cap, I convinced two buddies to go up an aid wall, being that I still could not jam my foot in a crack. We decided to climb Mescalito (the aid route that shares the most pitches with the Dawn Wall) and were hoping to do it ... |
 | Aid Climbing the Dawn Wall (Mescalito)
8. 11. 2020 04:33:45
I had been hanging out with a buddy in El Cap meadow who had been on a wall with Pass the Pitons Pete for 12 days and mentioned Pete was looking for porters to haul down some loads from the top El Cap. This was the day before I was planning to climb the West Face of the formation so after my buddy C... |

This video was captured April 22, 2017. I was not very experienced at the time being that this was my second trip skiing in the backcountry and I had just taken my AIARI 1 course a few months prior. I was always hesitant to post this video becasue I believe we could have done a better job with the r... |

I climbed the Shield on El Cap in 12 hours and 50 minutes on Tuesday but didnt bring a camera along to document it. On Lances last pitch, I found myself perched on Chickenhead Ledge with a minute to spare before I had to get ready to take over on lead so I captured this video with my phone. The foot... |

5. 05. 2021 19:23:21
The original plan was to do Watkins in a day but word on the street was that it was seeping so we made a day before change of objective to climb the Salathe. Chris had done the route a couple years ago wall style but this was my first time on the route other than the Freeblast. It kind of got me psy... |
 | Climbing Autobahn on the South Face of Half Dome (5.11+ R)
12. 05. 2021 19:18:17
Years ago while obsessively researching routes in Yosemite, I came across a line on the south face of Half Dome called Autobahn and added it to my mental todo list. It was first climbed in 1985 but is seldom done today due to its runout nature. Some pitches contain a single protection bolt in 150 fe... |

Here is a tour of the Captains Quarters, a nice 1x15 ledge shared by the routes Jolly Roger and Sunkist. Lance and I were climbed the later and while things certainly did not go as smoothly as I anticipated in this video, we still managed to top out in 15:57 to take the speed record.... |

Big Sandy Ledge on Half Dome is iconic and often the first ledge to be slept on for aspiring big wall climbers.

3. 06. 2021 22:05:08
I texted Amity Warme to see if she would be interested in climbing Golden Gate ground up and just two days later, we were prehauling to Heart ledges and setting off on the wall the day after. This was our first time climbing together but I got the vibe it would be a good partnership from the few enc... |

13. 08. 2021 04:04:12
On day 3, we opted to try a route put up by two of my friends that takes the most direct line up the East Face of Mt. Whitney (King Pile, 5.12, Grade V, FA: Moser, Ness 2019-2020). The climbing was incredible and the position, even more so. We got the second ascent of the route and Peter managed to ... |
 | The Venturi Effect (5.12c, Grade V)
14. 08. 2021 19:36:13
Venturi is without a doubt one of the best climbs I have ever done if not the very best. It takes an incredibly ascetic line up perfect rock on one of the most striking alpine faces anywhere. It is very sustained at the 5.11/5.12 level and certainly keeps you on your toes from the first few feet to ... |
