This was a dream come true! Ever since meeting Jas, I've wanted to share many of the stunning places that I have had the joy of experiencing in our "wackyard". Two of the most iconic summits in the river valley are Slesse and Rexford, both requiring a bit of scrambling and even roping up. I will never get tired of these incredible peaks, so I was especially excited to go up them again with Jas. In June, we summited Rexford together, spending the night on bivy rock to watch th

A little while after the Rexford-Slesse Horseshoe, Jas asked me: Do you think I could do Rexford? To which I responded: Abso-freakin-lutely, my dear! Below is a Video we made of the trip, and blog post continues below for a short recap! If you have read enough of my blog posts, you will likely conclude that I will never get tired of Rexford and Slesse. Not only are these peaks iconic, but it is nigh impossible to have a bad day scampering up, around, and over these granite pl

I'd seen many people scramble the Twin Sisters either individually or linked together in a traverse, and I had long admired the orangey dunite rock, reputable for it's exceptional grip and solid structure. Unfortunately, these wonderful peaks are blocked by a logging road gate at the bottom of a long FSR, forcing many to either hike or bike an additional 8km to and from the trailhead. Of course, most people opt to drive to the gated bridge and ride up on e-bikes, mountain bik

Jas and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary of marriage in style, bagging peaks and basking in the sun. Jas and I had a pretty great summer of smaller adventures, including a day hike with UFV Alumni friends up Conway Peak. Carl, Eli, Jag, Jenna, Jas, and I all crammed into Carl's car and started up from Jones lake for a great day catching up, exploring the old mining trail. We also enjoyed a chill long weekend in Whistler, testing out Jas' new bike (The Purple Dust Bunny), hiki

From August 19-24, 2025, my friend Ben and I set out for a 5-day traverse over 25 peaks. We completed it, but only after 3+ years of scouting, planning, trying, failing, more scouting, and re-planning. Read-on and watch-on below! This blog posts dives more in-depth than the Film, so keep scrolling if you are interested in the details. Buckle-up, this is a long one. I justify the length of this post because it took 3 years to accomplish this linkup, which itself took 5 full da

From August 19-24, 2025, my friend Ben and I set out for a 5-day traverse over 25 peaks. We completed it, but only after 3+ years of scouting, planning, trying, failing, and re-planning. This post delves into all the details that made this trip possible. The entire 3-year process felt very similar to "redpointing" a climb at a crag. If you are unfamiliar with this climbing jargon, it is when a someone encounters a difficult route that requires more than just one attempt (whi

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,...

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.

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.
