I worked for the National Park Service for a summer in Yosemite. I spent my free time wandering the mountains and waterfalls and climbing.

With a group of friends from school, I summited fourteen-thousand foot Mount Shasta early on a frigid May morning.

I led a group on a winter summit attempt of California's 10,000-foot Pyramid Peak.

At 11,188, Mount Silliman is a straightforward but rewarding climb in Sequoia National Park.

At 14,159', Mount Sill is one of California's highest peaks. I climbed it with some friends from college.

Watching the sunrise from the summit is the best way to hike Half Dome.

Sequoia National Park's 11,204-foot Alta Peak turned out to be a great place to teach introductory mountaineering.

An attempt to climb Mount Sill is converted into a hike up nearby Mount Agassiz.

My second summit of the Grand Teton, this time via the Owen-Spalding Route.
