The power of Twitter always amazes me. People from all over California and the USA came to Yosemite this past weekend to climb as part of the 1st Annual Yosemite Tweetup. We were not graced with the typical California sun, but it didn’t matter. Our community bonded over the campfire and through the climbs we [...]
First of all, if you don’t recognize the “Squamish is…” reference, then watch this classic Timmy O’Neill video. Or if it’s been too long since you last watched it, watch it again: Although I spent my whole life before college in the Pacific Northwest, including my formative climbing years when I found my love of [...]
“Dude, turn around!” yells Chris from the belay. Looking back, a thick wall of mist obscures the other side of the valley. A flurry of snow blows past and I keep going, anxious to get to the next belay. Tucked under a tree, I stare out a the sheets of rain coming down. It’s not [...]
We now have about 8 inches at our house, which is less than 100ft above sea level. And it’s still snowing. Snowy house To distract myself from worrying about my flight tomorrow, Maddy and I went sledding. It was sweet. Maddy also built a snow daschund, which is also pretty sweet. Setting up for the [...]

The forecasts came true and now there is snow all over Washington. I think the Arlington area got the most – over 2 feet according to the news. Redmond, where I grew up, got around a foot. Here in Poulsbo we only got a couple inches, but everything still looks beautiful. Some photos: These photos [...]
After weeks and weeks of sunny weather and 80-90 degree temps, we were beginning to wonder if “winter” just wasn’t going to happen in SoCal this year. But now, apparently, it has arrived.
