After more than 7 years of adventuring through life together we decided to tie the knot. We had always thought, “if we’re going to get married, we’ll just get married!” – we weren’t really big on the idea of an engagement period. We got engaged on the last day of April and went promptly into … Continue reading We tied the knot!
What happened to our fall season?
We leapt into September this year with a vengeance. Graham and I had spent the four months of summer apart. I had a fantastic job doing biodiversity monitoring in northern Alberta with the ABMI (they’ve posted positions for next year already!) and Graham settled back in Vancouver and returned to his awesome job at MEC. … Continue reading What happened to our fall season?
Division Bell
Summer is drawing to a close and it is time to start wrapping up those projects. September is one of our favourite months of the year for climbing, and Graham took it upon himself to usher in the season of Sendtember with style. So now I get to gush a little... Graham had been projecting … Continue reading Division Bell
Crag Dogs of North America
A four-legged friend isn't in the cards for Graham and I right now, so we are especially thankful to all of the humans who have allowed us to extend our love towards their furry partners in crime. While on our year and a half long road trip we met tons of wonderful people, but we … Continue reading Crag Dogs of North America
Willmore Wilderness Park: Berland Range
As a summer resident of Northern Alberta, I’ve recently been exploring some new and exciting other-than-rock-climbing hobbies… One thing I wanted to do was climb a mountain. Well, when the opportunity arose to climb five, there was nothing I could say but “Yes, please!” I am very lucky to work with a bunch of creative, … Continue reading Willmore Wilderness Park: Berland Range
Seventeen Months
Just over one month ago we returned home after more than 17 months of van living on our climbing road trip around North America. When we first got back from the road trip we caught ourselves saying things like "oh, we could get ice cream because we have a freezer!" or, "isn't it great to … Continue reading Seventeen Months
Smith Rock has the Best Bathrooms
This morning we wrapped up the final destination of our road trip. We spent just over a week climbing in Smith Rock State Park, Oregon – time for some decent route sampling, but not long enough for any substantial projecting. We had some rough luck with weather, which ranged from sweltering hot, to rain and … Continue reading Smith Rock has the Best Bathrooms
#utahisrad
Utah is a rock climber’s dream land. The state has so much high quality climbing to offer, spanning almost every discipline. We were immediately drawn into the incredible limestone sport climbing in the south west corner of Utah around St George. We met up with Yannick and Kirsten to spend the following four weeks climbing … Continue reading #utahisrad
Six weeks of Bishop fun
Bishop is hands down one of our very favourite rock climbing destinations. The quaint town, diverse and affordable camping, amazing human beings, incredible scenery, and a plethora of world class bouldering make it hard to beat.

Holiday Inception + Training Days
We’ve just returned to the Millennium FalcVan after five weeks of holiday inside our holiday, which we spent back home on Vancouver Island. We left our van in the care of wonderful friends Colleen and Gilles and flew to Victoria in mid-December. It was both a good and a hard Christmas, but the bottom line … Continue reading Holiday Inception + Training Days
