Summer 2022

This is a now page. I post one every month, and you should too. It’s the best way to connect with people you don’t talk to often. You can read them all here.
Mostly, I spent my time building a robot.

Hitchiking with Tobias
During a short break before the start of school, Tobias and I were set to ski but bad weather left us scrambling for plans. We decided to leave in the morning with overnight gear and see how far we could hitchhike. In the end we travelled almost 800 kilometres thanks to rides from ten of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.




Paddling in Widgeon Slough


Widowmaker Arete
A truly epic day. Lukas and I attempted the route last year in 38°C heat but turned around 12km into the approach. I’m glad we did because it proved to be longer, harder, and way more scary than anticipated, featuring my second scariest lead ever—an unprotected offwidth to a dirty, runout slab on my skinny alpine rope.


From the top, 4 hours of snow slogging lead us back to the Grouse chalet where we begged the lift attendant to let us on the last ride of the night, only to realize that the gate to where we parked was locked.

Surf’s Up
22 hours of driving for a single glorious route.

A beautiful four-day hike with my amazing girlfriend Akie.
