“If you think it’s really important and you really want to do it and you find the right team, you can do it.”

I am an avid hiker and explorer of the US West and a (very) amateur climber. Hikes and climbs, just like science, when carefully planned and executed, can be incredibly fun and rewarding in life.

Here are some of the most memorable trips.

Trans-Catalina Trail, 2024

Half Dome via JMT, Yosemite National Park, 2023

Angel’s Landing, Zion National Park, 2023

After Six (5.7), Yosemite National Park, 2022

Mosaic Canyon, Death Valley National Park, 2021
