Hannah Green’s incredible persistence of finishing the Sangre de Cristo Range Traverse can be read in her article at iRunFar, I was quite happy to see that Laura Kaplan and her partner went for Nolans 14, and stuck it out well past the 60 cutoff to complete the line in one big push – something Continue reading…
On my recent failed Sangres Traverse trip, I made some pretty deep cuts into the gear I brought along, in the name of shaving weight. When you’re route has 60,000′ of elevation gain in only 120 miles, any weight you can drop from your pack is welcome. One my first successful Sangres Traverse, I brought Continue reading…
As soon as the bus pulls into Salida, I’m out the front door, heading down to the old school motel – the one at the outskirts of town with the larger than life flamingo statues, classic cars decorating the front, and rock-bottom room prices. I check in, throw my pack on the bed, then I’m Continue reading…
Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcast Justin Simoni’s driveway is one of the loneliest places on Earth. After all, it’s been mostly empty for the last 6 years. See, the “Long Ranger” — Simoni’s nickname — has been car-free for the better part of a decade. And the only real use it sees is Continue reading…
Boom! Almost done – one more section left, then we’ll make this into a nice mini-site for y’all to all use.
Getting close to finishing up the route! Only two more mountains left. The Huron to La Plata segment is one of the easier segments and the comparatively gentle terrain is on either trail or even road. Massive and Elbert are next!
A project resurrected! With my own completion of a Slowlans fastpack, I’m finishing up my own Slowlans guide. Today is the Missouri Mountain to Huron Peak segment, from where I left off. Enjoy!
Recently, I took a trip to the Sawatch – my first time out into the high country – or even out of Boulder, since February. The goal was to take on Slowlans: Nolans 14, but slowly! And I decided to do it as intelligently as possible, which meant taking time off beforehand and allowing myself Continue reading…
It’s that time of the year! The clean spring air and warm sun makes me start dreaming of what to do this summer. Here’s some of the projects I’d like to get on – some of which would benefit partnering up for. Is that you? (Safety not guaranteed):
This week’s Boulder Weekly includes the story of my solo January Longs Peak Duathlon up Keplingers Couloir – a project I’ve tried and failed at for years. Have a read.
This is Part II of my two-day bikepacking trip to Longs Peak (here’s Part 1), with the main goal figuring out a righteous off-pavement route to Longs Peak. In this video, I take to the trails to summit Longs Peak – as well as Mount Meeker. I link the two via Gorrell’s Traverse: a most Continue reading…
This ride was a long time coming, and one of my top five favorite trips of 2021. I’ve been trying to link together a righteous MTB route as close as I could to Rocky Mountain National Park, and this route is, I feel, the best one can do. I’ll be updating my Longs Peak Route Continue reading…
