Van Adventures

Some scenes from my 2 years traveling around North America by van

Stops on the ferry through southeast Alaska

Cycling the Denali park road

Hiking with my mom on the Kenai Peninsula

Ever wondered what the inside of a glacier looks like?

Lost Lake Trail takes you from temperate rainforest into the alpine above Seward

Trying my first solo overnight on a paddleboard. Kenai lake delivered with calm waters and beautiful views

Finally saw a really, really big glacier. This is a remote enough part of BC and Alaska that the border crossings are just signs on a road

Paddling in Howe Sound

After many grammatical debates, team “We Wish Kyle was Faster” did surprisingly well at Ski to Sea

Levi recently bolted his first 5.16a project and is working on a groundbreaking first ascent

Wherever you are in Squamish, Garibaldi is perched high above

Halfway up Flyboys, an 18 pitch sport climb in Mazama, Washington. My friend Leo and I decided we weren’t ready for this after struggling on an easier climb on the same wall in 2022, but had a great time climbing Flyboys a year later. It’s rare you

Paddling back towards Squamish as the wind picked up in Howe Sound. By the time we approached the harbor, kitesurfers were sailing around us

Climbing a multi-pitch route in Smith Rock, Oregon

One of the small lighthouses in the fjords between Vancouver Island and Ketchikan. The Inside Passage lets vessels transit between Southeast Alaska and the Puget Sound with only a few short stretches of open water

Learning to ice climb in Colorado

Slacklining with one of Canada’s nicest rocks in the background

8000 feet of vert, followed by 1 single pitch of easy climbing. Ossa Mountain isn’t exactly a climbing destination, but it is beautiful

Most of the adventures I’ve done in the van have come about spontaneously, but riding Gooseberry Mesa was something I knew I wanted to do from the start

If you’re afraid of heights, GGBY probably isn’t the festival for you

Antelope Island is a truly strange place. I biked around this bison covered island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake at the start of winter

Why hello there

Ski touring with my AIARE 1 avalanche class in Crested Butte, Colorado

Riding bikes up into Taroko Gorge

Hello from Taiwan! This was near the end of our 3 week bikepacking trip around the island
