A Little About Me

Long-time hiker and snowshoer. 14-year peakbagger, climber, and prominencian.

I have a lot of experience with hiking, scrambling, rock climbing (but not leading), glacier travel, and steep snow climbs. I have also taken avalanche preparedness and snow survival courses.


On June 20, 2012, I simultaneously completed the Washington County Highpoints (10th Completer overall), Washington County Prominence Points (5th Completer overall), and Washington 25-Mile Isolation Peaks (6th Completer overall) at the summit of Mount Baker. On August 3, 2014, I became the first person to see all Washington fire lookouts still standing on their officially-used locations. On May 28, 2016, I simultaneously completed the Oregon County Highpoints (15th Completer overall) and Oregon County Prominence Points (1st Completer overall).


My highest summits, to date, were Mount Whitney on July 5, 2007, Mount Elbert on September 6, 2007, and Mount Rainier on June 1, 2007. The summits I am most proud of attaining were Gannett Peak on July 11, 2009, Buckner Mountain on July 11, 2010, and Bonanza Peak on July 11, 2011. Each of those summits were successful (unguided) first attempts.


During August 2013 I passed the threshold of 1,000,000 feet for cumulative vertical gain on summit trips and attempts. I also have summited 49 State Highpoints as well as over 200 County Highpoints in the United States. On August 3, 2014, I became the first person to visit all of the standing fire lookout structures in Washington at sites of official use. On July 30, 2017, I summited my first country highpoint (Zugspitze, Germany).


Some of my future summit goals include completing the 50 State Highpoints (one more, at Denali), more mountains in the Cascades, more county highpoints, more prominent peaks, more fire lookout sites, and Aconcagua.


It is also my personal goal to help make SummitPost as helpful and accurate of a resource to as many of its users as possible, by regularly providing general information and photos of highpoints from my own personal experiences, no matter what the elevations or technical difficulties might be.
