The year is speeding on (has it ever not?). One of the best choices I made this year was to fly to east Africa and spend 1/3 of my time jumping on busses and informal taxis from Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and to Kenya with @dylanjayezyl who, I
I would stake everything on these words: the high Himalaya, volcanoes of the PNW, verdant peaks of New York - there is no hierarchy of greatness, no better or no worse. There are emotive differences. The forest, glacier, and granite summit will leave
During my first few days in Ladakh I didn't feel so well and found it hard to gain the motivation to get going on meaningful work or explore outside my cold room. That's when I remembered that sometimes the best medicine is to move, spin the body i

Beware the forest buffalo - in Uganda you can't summit Muhabura volcano, which lies on the border of Rwanda and a handful of kilometers from the D.R.C., alone. The trail isn't a challenge if you aren't afraid of vertical gain. The gorillas are off en
Congratulations to my incredibly inspiring friend @shen.jiasheng for placing 4th in @wser this weekend with a time of 15hrs 19min 42s - his first 100 mile race and his family’s first time in the United States. He set a new fastest time for a Ch
Lake Tear of the Clouds - source of the mighty Hudson River. It’s difficult to fathom that all the water flowing down the western side of Manhattan starts at this misty alpine tarn. It was harder even to reach. But around lunchtime on day two

Karakoram - where India, Pakistan, and China meet these peaks tear out of the river beds in a stunning geologic display not quite like any else on earth. Truly one of the most fearsome and awe-inspiring landscapes I’ve had the fortune of leavin
Had so much fun shooting again with @shen.jiasheng and @thenorthface this week in California during his first days in the United States preparing for @wser. Spending time around elite athletes like Jiasheng is always such an inspiring and humbling ex
Baja - where ocean, mountain, and desert, almost inconceivably, become one. 100% would go back, if just for the tacos, definitely for the dolphins, always for the company.
And when I quieted my mind and showed it the rest of my body, my swelling lungs, beating blood, gently laboring organs, smooth muscles, and how they all worked in quiet but perfect unison to support the entire body, it relented its grip. Peeled away
I came to Ladakh with no plans, no intention to be here, and no company. It’s been a reflective period of time with little distraction from my own wandering mind carried by my two wandering feet. Hiking alone is an intriguing experience. I us
Sunset on the rim of an ancient volcano. The lake fills in an even older caldera. Virtually every peak and depression here was the result of some volcanic activity. #uganda #uganda🇺🇬 #eastafrica #africa #exploreafrica #ugandatravel
