As the water begins to dry up and the first signs of fall are in the air, our whitewater challenges often dwindle and we're left "sans adrenaline" until next year. Now is the time to pick you "off-season" challenge and get to work. Most importantly,…

Well, it's that time of year again. My kayak is already collecting dust after being in hibernation for only a couple of months. Temperatures are below zero and the snow is falling but this doesn't mean that we can't be training for the day the snow…

Spring is in the air!

Hey All!

Just a quick update from things in my life.



1. First Descents just finished hosting it's first program in Moab, UT. It was a week of climbing and challenge for 15 young adult cancer survivors and fighters that proved to be truly ma
