Midlife Mountaineering

I’m a software architect turned mountaineer, trading screens for summits. Based in the Colorado Rockies and Smokey Mountains, I’ve taken my training from local peaks to high-altitude climbs in Ecuador, including Chimborazo to the volcanos of the Pacific Northwest.

On this channel, you’ll find expedition footage, training insights, and honest gear reviews—all from the perspective of a midlife climber and active SAR volunteer. Whether it’s pushing limits at altitude or testing gear in harsh conditions, I share lessons learned to help fellow adventurers prepare for their own mountain journeys.
