Blue Ice calls the Firecrest a "Quiver of one" alpine pack... or is it a "Quiver of Two" that you need?

As the last scouting mission for an even bigger project, Greg and Mike set off to traverse the Slesse Massif, a jagged linkup of 6 summits: Labour Day, Station D, Point 2187, North Star, South Slesse, and Slesse Peak.

Life is filled with great combos: burger and fries, peanut butter and jam sammy, movies and popcorn, birdsong in a forest. One of the most joyous, yet rarely pursued, is the hike-a-bike . My friend Nate and I delved into this dark art to a great extent in 2022 , pushing our steeds up mountains and "riding" down chonky FSRs, resulting in magnificently "fun" sufferfests. Jas and I went one step further in April of this year with our Bike-2-Ski up Mt Cheam , lugging a chariot an

Brennan, Lukas, and I geared up for a wild romp in the Cheam Range. The goal? Traverse all eight peaks in a single day. Back in 2022, Ben and I completed a Westbound Traverse of the Cheam Range , starting from Jones Lake, and finishing at Bridal Falls over 52 hours with 2 bivies. It was, and still is, one of the biggest and most memorable adventures that I have ever done. The Cheam Range has always been special, but became even more so after one of Ben's and my camp spots bel

Jas and I had a nice 10-day stretch of time off around Canada Day, and had grandiose intentions of romping around the province: hiking,...

JC and I tried our hand on the classic route up Baker, but weather does as weather will.

Jas and I set out on an audacious expedition to cycle, hike, and ski up Mt Cheam. It turned into a superbly memorable adventure! Check out the Short Film that we made from the GoPro footage.

Ben and I finally ticked a major spring ski traverse off our list - a truly epic day in Whistler! I borrowed my brother's GoPro to capture some footage of the day out. Check out the vlog!

As a family man, my brother doesn't have as much time to join me on hikes. So when we do, it's always special.

Sometimes the stars align for a miraculous adventure. This is one of those.

Family trip to California for Yosemite and a wedding - double whammy!

I'd been wanting to check out the trail put in by Max DeJong up MacFarlane's West Ridge. Finally got around to it with my friend Kevin!...

Very very frightening! The most terrifying backpacking trip of our lives... Jas and I were excited to go on our first backpacking trip of...

After a last minute decision and invitation to my friend Ihor, we set off early to summit Slesse, the famous peak in the Chilliwack River Valley.

An oddly named summit in West Harrison piqued Ben's and my interest after seeing another person's trip on Strava. We decided to give it a...

At the end of July, I set out with Andrea and Ihor to explore more of the Skagit River Valley.

Success at last on Canadian Border Peak.

I'd hiked Mt Lindeman twice, I loved it so much I had to show the crew! Jas and my UFV pals: Jag, Jenna, Eli, and Carl.

TLDR: against seemingly all odds stacked against it, the trip happened. But it proved to be much harder than anticipated, we walked away...
