Ouray Day 4 - On our last full day of ice climbing in Ouray, CO, we monopolized eight routes for the day and just climbed our hearts out. I decided to catch up with Pat, Conrad Anker, and Anne Gilbert Chase and ask them for some tips on how to be a better ice climber.
Climbing rock with ice tools
Ouray Day 3: After all the media and dealers arrived, we took them out to the Ouray Ice Park for the day to test out the new Petzl ice tools. This is when they got to experience the new Nomic, Quark, and Ergonomic for the first time. #SeekOutTheAdventure
Ice climbing up close
Day 2 in Ouray: This time we belayed each other from the top of the canyon, forcing us to be lowered down to the unfrozen river where we would start our climb. It feels pretty committing when you know that the only way out is up. #SeekOutTheAdventure
A Small Mountain Town Covered in Ice
I've never been to Ouray, CO before. So my first time there was for a full week where I got to ice climb for four days straight and then spend a day dangling from a rope while shooting video of Petzl athletes climbing ice and rock. #SeekOutTheAdventure
Gross Chubby Bunny Challenge
The debate started with two boys trying to decide who had the bigger cheeks. So we took it to the table with a bag of marshmallows for a chubby bunny contest. #SeekOutTheAdventure
Total Solar Eclipse
I stood on the shore of Idaho's Egin Lakes, surrounded by sand dunes, watching the eclipse with my family. With a pair of eclipse glasses taped to the end of my lens and my heavy camera perched up on a flimsy gorilla pod, I would press the shutter button every 1-2 minutes. The end result, after stitching the selected photos together, is this gratifying image of the eclipse sequence...reaching complete totality.
Mystery Trip - Day 3
The last day of our mystery trip was spent driving to and exploring the Oregon coast from Tillamook to Astoria. These beaches are so amazing with dense forests bordering the sand. #SeekOutTheAdventure
Mystery Trip - Day 2
After spending a surprise day in San Fransisco, my sister sent us back to the airport at 4am the following day where she sent us another flight itinerary to another destination... #SeekOutTheAdventure
Mystery Trip - Day 1
My sister told us to head to the airport at 4am where she would then send us an email with our flight itinerary. Up to that point, we had no idea where she was sending.
