A day in the Canyon
Months ago. Precovid, a buddy and I were roaming around at the Vancouver Outdoor Adventure Show, and came across an adventure way too good to pass up. A full day of guided canyoning with a few of our good friends. Repelling waterfalls, navigating river canyons, and getting the opportunity to see parts of the local terrain that most folks will never get the chance to … Continue reading A day in the Canyon
Adventure Training by any Means
So still working on my editing footage from my canyoning weekend, I’ll get to that soon. But in the meantime, I had a great opportunity to connect with AdventureSmart tonight via video conference and take part in a “Survive the night” training. An hour and a half training reviewing the basics of emergency survival when S hits the fan. Always good to take part in … Continue reading Adventure Training by any Means
Quick rip to Norvan Falls
So in light of having a spare week off, I managed to get in a quick trip up to Norvan Falls. North Shore, North Vancouver. Not far from home, but healthy for the maintenance and the unwind to say the least. The sword ferns new growth is certainly showing through. Now a quick couple days rest and off to my canyoneering adventure. Here’s a snipped … Continue reading Quick rip to Norvan Falls
Up next… Canyoning.
Super stoked to be able to tackle this bad boy. Me and my buddy J first connected with FX canyoneering back in February at the Vancouver Outdoor Adventure Show, before the world went sideways. We have a unique opportunity to tackle a day of crazy canyon drops, repelling through untouched areas, and views that are second to none. Keep posted for our experience in the … Continue reading Up next… Canyoning.
The Skip Day
We go and go and go. We work, and train, and grocery shop, and train, and try to keep in touch with everyone, and train. It’s a lot. It’s good, but it’s a lot. I am training for upcoming running races, cycling races, and endurance challenges. Assuming they are all still a go. Albeit, it’s been a slow return. I thought I would touch on … Continue reading The Skip Day
The Wonderful Adventures of… Zoom!?
We are all trapped. Trapped in a bubble, waiting for it to burst. Isolation from quarantine has gone from interesting to frustrating. We are all armed with backpacks and beef jerky waiting to explore. We are ready at the door. So until then… We Zoom!? My friends and I have joined onto the craze of video conferencing. Weekly meet ups, where we can discuss the … Continue reading The Wonderful Adventures of… Zoom!?
In the void of adventure
So. Here we are. A world of adventurers. In a time unknown to us. Lost in the ripple effect of Corona Virus. At home (hopefully). Keeping on, keeping on. Isolated pods. How do we stay motivated. Moved. Moved to pick up a map and start drawing the line of our next adventure? Piecing together the next Epic? In short, by will. Please. Please do not … Continue reading In the void of adventure
Garibaldi, by winter.
A short trip. Well earned break for all of us. The objective: Garibaldi Lake, with attempt at either Clinker Peak or Mt Price. We’ll see what happens….It was a leisurely start, partially because my Isaac had daycare drop off duties to take care of first, and partially because we still had to pick up Avy gear from the rental shop in Squamish and they weren’t … Continue reading Garibaldi, by winter.
First one of the year
Today signified my first race of the year. The Icebreaker 8k. A short and sweet 8km race in Steveston. Weather was good, the rain/snow held off for the morning. My pace was surprisingly acceptable by my standards, considering I haven’t put in a good run in the last 4-5 months. I was stoked. Not so much because I couldn’t wait to get back into running … Continue reading First one of the year
