25. 04. 2019 16:00:12
We love a good day out in the backyard. Cascade mountain is one of my favorite mountains especially when it's covered with snow and rimmed with some of the largest cornices I've ever seen. I actually had to get on the radio twice while flying the drone to tell Christof he was hanging out over the ab... |
 | Skiing Powder in May on Colorado 14er - Crestone Peak
16. 05. 2019 17:00:02
The weather was forecasted to be cloudless and warm but instead we got snow the day before and another skiff as we set off in the morning. I guess it wouldnt be much of an adventure if things went as forecasted. In this episode Christof and I set off to ski Crestone Peak in the Sangre De Cristo wil... |
 | Almost Kings - Kings Peak
5. 06. 2019 16:26:34
Who knew avalanche danger existed at the end of May in Utah? With a series of late season snow storms and high winds, the stage is set for disappointment. Weve all summited Kings Peak in the summer, but its a whole different ball game in the winter. I guess the lesson here is, always have a plan B.... |

 | Colorado's Highest Point - Mount Elbert
11. 07. 2019 17:31:19
What Mount Elbert lacks in excitement it more than makes up in its views from the summit. After Climbing New Mexico's highest point I packed up and drove to Colorado where I climbed Mount Elbert the next morning. After getting an early morning glimpse of the mountain I cancelled my plans to ski Elbe... |

25. 07. 2019 16:00:10
A viewer asked if we ever participated in type 1 fun. This video is a response to that question. Yes we occasional do things that aren't a total suffer fest.

 | Leaving France - The Haute Route in 5 Days
18. 09. 2019 16:00:05
Day one of my five day run from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland. Prepare for mountain passes, Swiss Valleys, and the terrible pronunciation of French words.

3. 10. 2019 16:00:15

 | The Most Beautiful Place to Suffer - Haute Route
10. 10. 2019 17:00:13
Day 3. These are the most beautiful 35 miles that I have ever traveled. Prafleuri, Des Dix, Arolla, La Sage, Lac de Moiry and Zinal. Places whos natural beauty I could never capture properly.

24. 10. 2019 15:30:04
Day 4. Somehow Christof and I managed to rendezvous in the small town of Zinal. Together we set out on another great day in the Swiss alps traveling from Zinal to St. Niklaus. My only hope is that things will be just hard enough for Christof to make him believe in my description of the previous 3 da... |
 | Maroon Peak to North Maroon - The Bells Traverse
7. 11. 2019 15:00:05
Ive heard about Maroon Bells Wilderness for a while. Theres a reason pictures of this place occupy so much space on the walls of hotel rooms and lobbys. Its the same reason you have to take a shuttle to the trailhead. This place is beautiful from top to bottom. The Maroon Peak to North Maroon peak t... |
 | To the Foot of the Matterhorn - The Haute Route
21. 11. 2019 15:30:01
Day 5. The last day of our multi day tour through the mountains of France and Switzerland on the Haute Route.

2. 01. 2020 16:00:09
In this episode my wife joins me on a short adventure for a Mediocre first. She's the first woman to every be featured on this channel!

 | Skiing Hallway of Stone - Terminal Cancer
30. 01. 2020 16:00:09
A terrible name for an awesome ski line. Did we climb this iconic couloir 'the right way', for some probably not. Did we do it the best way, definitely! Nothing beats the Helicopter approach especially when you're laying in bed, setting your alarm at an unforgiving time and thinking about the 9 hou... |
 | Skiing Mountain of Ice - South Sister
20. 02. 2020 16:00:05
You never know what you're going to get when you ski a volcano. That was especially true when it came to skiing the South Sister in the Three Sisters Wilderness outside of Bend, Oregon. As a matter of fact, none of us could ever recall seeing ice skating rink quality ice on a mountainside before. Or... |
 | Bright Angel to South Kaibab Loop - Grand Canyon
5. 03. 2020 15:30:01
Ice on the South Rim but hot sand at the bottom. Thats what happens when you drop 5,000 after stepping out of your car at the Grand Canyon. Bright Angel down to the Colorado and then back up the South Kaibab. Its an awesome 20 mile loop if you can handle the toe jamming descent and calf cramping asc... |

19. 03. 2020 14:30:04
Originally this video was going to be a 10 min flashback but I thought Christof's near concussion deserved more.

 | Riding Bikes on Going to the Sun Road with No Cars - Glacier National Park
9. 07. 2020 15:30:06
This episode should be titled: Riding going to the sun road with no cars one and a half times and climbing mount Reynolds. It's a confusing time to adventure and this episode is a great example of the confusion that's out there. Doesn't mean you can't have an awesome time. It just means you have to ... |

 | The Floral Park Traverse - Glacier National Park
8. 10. 2020 17:00:25
First let me explain the seemingly cold and callous reaction of my friends to my situation 3/4 of the way through this video. Everyone there has seen me spiral.

 | CMC to the Summit - Mount Moran
22. 10. 2020 16:00:10
During a weekend in September we set out to summit Mount Moran via the CMC route. We decided to paddle board to the foot of the mountain, something I was less than comfortable with.

20. 05. 2021 15:14:01
You can be drawn to a mountain for many reasons such as height, location, or in the case of this mountain, a name. Ive wanted to climb this peak ever since I saw the name on google maps. Having it also make the list of Colorados 14ers was just a nice bonus. In this episode we climb Mount Sneffels v... |

16. 09. 2021 15:00:09
On the Aiguille du Midi there's a route, supposedly a Chamonix classic, called the Cosmique Arete. It's a great route, with amazing rock, rappels and views and I didn't know it existed until we were half way through it. Sometimes you follow the crowd and end up with bedazzled, flared jeans and a fro... |

 | Skiing Utah’s Highest Point - Kings Peak
12. 05. 2022 00:00:20
It took two years for us to get over our failed attempt and muster the energy to go out and attempt to ski Kings Peak again.

 | Attempting Emmons - Mount Rainier
16. 06. 2022 15:00:21
Its all about the weather. However, it seems that predicting the weather in the Northwest is a futile job. The forecast called for 3 days of decent weather but reality was very different.
