West Slope - the Best Slope





Alex, Mikey and I, headed out for a long weekend of kayaking on Colorado's Western Slope. The hit-list included the Gunnison Gorge, surfing the M-Wave, and some creeking on Upper East above Crested Butte. It was a fantastic trip, and a more than a little bittersweet as Alex is leaving Boulder for a couple years to work in Germany and forward his research. He's not only been a great kayaking partner, but also a very close friend, and his company will be missed. Good luck buddy, I'll see you soon when we ski in Chamonix!

Here's the video and pictures from this trip. The VIDEO! THE PICS!

San Rafael Swell



We headed out to Utah for a great weekend of exploring the San Rafael Swell, one of the most remote regions of the Colorado Plateau. We checked out the Little Grand Canyon, did some climbing on beatiful wingate sandstone, explored the Upper Black Box, and finally did some canyoneering through Baptist Draw and Upper Chute canyons. The crew consisted of Meredith, Aaron, Rebecca & Steve. A great way to kick off the summer. Here's the pics and video that re-cap all the action... THE VIDEO! THE PICS!
