Josh and I head out to the Sierras to try and climb Mt. Whitney, but weather forces us onto Mt. Russell instead and a fun and spooky weekend ensues.

One year after my first glance at the mountain, Martin and I led a team of NASA mountaineers to boldly go via the Emmons-Winthrop glacier route.

A weekend getaway for mountaineering practice in beautiful Northern California. I went with Josh and his friend Andrew from JPL, and we skied (or walked in my case) the volcano.

My first mountaineering experience was a big commitment. Baker's north face provided excitement, struggle, accomplishment, and far exceeded my expectations.
