Joe convinced me to climb Lion's Head - Lion Tamer route description here http://www.summitpost.org/the-lions-head/153052 I should say I survived while he thrived. Tough route in a spectacular setting I was definitely along more for the ride on this one I am going to work on my alpine rock skills though. So glad I went!

Bush whack and chimney climbing in shorts enough said

No camera unfortunately, only one headlamp and a GPS on the dark walk out. With Joe getting of work at 7am our day went from 8am to getting home at 1am. Joe kicked ass as usual he's a beast!

Five Boys Three Dads & Mt Adams

July 29th a group of us gave Adams a go, the boys ranging in age from 10 to 15. Attempting to climb from  Cold Springs Campground at 5,600' to the summit via the South Spur Route. The boys all did awesome making it to their summit for this trip Pikers Peak 11,657' , followed by a killer glissade. A long day for the boys but they all did a great job! We will try again next year staying the night at the lunch counter helping ensure a summit success. Time spent with family and friends is definitely what it is all about. I am real proud of all these boys!

Trent & Cam ready to get after it!



Time with your boys in the outdoors priceless!

Trent takes the express lane down!
