Coming Soon!

Just prior to the recent Coronavirus Pandemic I was introduced to a unique sports game called "Rocket League" by my younger brother Waylon. Living nearly 1000 miles apart we were looking for something to play online together and as I've never really been a "first-person shooter" guy, Rocket League seemed like something fun to pick up and put down while we caught up from time-to-time. In short order however, what began as a way to connect quickly morphed into a new obsession as I found myself playing more and more just for the sake of playing and getting better at the game. This new found hobby...

So you want to climb a 14er? More specifically you want to climb a 14er in the state of Colorado. Maybe you’re planning a trip to come visit soon or maybe you already live here and have just never gotten around to it. Either way, climbing a 14er, or any mountain for that matter can be daunting to someone who doesn’t have the experience to approach it confidently. While I cant give you the experience, you’ll have to conquer the mountain on your own, I can share with you all of the knowledge and know-how that I have acquired over the years to help prepare and position you for a safe, enjoyable,...

When it comes to "Technical Climbing Jackets" there are few as notorious as the Arc'teryx Alpha SV. This jacket is designed with nearly every modern feature a climbing jacket should have and is routinely revised to ensure that the latest version is always constructed with the best materials available.

The Pikes Peak Marathon is billed as "The World's Toughest Marathon" which naturally makes the Pikes Peak Ascent "The World's Toughest Half-Marathon". Just how tough is it do you ask? Well it's a 13.32 Mile footrace along a single-track trail with over 7,800' of elevation gain from start to finish. Add in the fact that the starting line is already more than a mile above sea-level and the finish tops out at over 14,000' and you start to get a sense for just how much of a challenge the Pikes Peak Ascent really is. With a race date in Mid-September and a history of weather ranging from lightning...

Celebrating an awesome experience! Lets face it, every time we watch the Winter Olympics (or Cool Runnings) we always dream about what it would be like to ride in a real Bobsled. Historically you needed to be an elite athlete dedicated to the Bobsled Event to eventually get the opportunity to slide down the ice but now, thanks to the Winter Bobsled Experience near Salt Lake City, Utah, anyone who meets some fairly standard health requirements can sign up for the ride of a lifetime on the actual bobsled track from the 2002 Winter Olympics! As soon as my Wife and I made the decision to plan...
