Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island) - Canada
Summer 2024 I spent 52 days in Canada’s Baffin Island - one of the great big wall climbing venues of the world. Over the course of the trip the team (Brandon Adams, Miles Fullman, Myself) established 3 new multi-day big wall first ascents.

Charakusa Region - Pakistan
Summer 2022 I traveled to the flanks of K7 in Pakistan’s Karakoram range with a team of 5 with the hope of establishing rock routes and explore climbing at altitude. While I was unsuccessful in my primary climbing goal of climbing a new route, 3 members of the expedition established a new line, and the full team repeated ‘Tasty Talking’ on Naisa Brakk.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP - Colorado
During the final weeks of Fall in 2021 I was a part of a team that established a 2000+ foot Grade VI climb on Colorado’s fearsome ‘Painted Wall’. Our route surmounts the biggest vertical rock face in Colorado and the 3rd largest in the contiguous United States. The climb took us 5 days and was established ground up, without the use of lead bolts. This was the first new route on the Painted Wall in over two decades.
Wadi Rum - Jordan
In 2021 I traveled with Dakota Walz and Lane Mathis to Wadi Rum, Jordan in search of sandstone cliffs and unclimbed rock. We had ourselves an amazing adventure, establishing a handful of new routes from 5.9 to 5.12 and met some incredible humans along the way. Feel free to check out the film above.
