Rock Climbing Challenges: Scaling New Heights – The November day dawned cool and damp, the sun was bundled in banks of gray clouds. Now, in the early afternoon, the air has only warmed a few degrees, and a lingering fog is making the limestone slippery – terrible conditions for rock climbing. But I have to try. I spent three months training hard in the gym, torturing myself on a finger strengthening device called a hangboard and doing barbells like crazy. I gathered two friends to assist, and soon a drone would be sent up to capture what I imagined, in my daydreams, as a triumphant journey to the summit after nearly four years of trying to conquer this route and falling, falling, falling.

The goal seems simple: I must climb vertical rock faces for about seventy feet, using only my hands and feet to ascend—a practice called free climbing. A … Read the rest

Nordic Skiing: Gliding Through Winter Wonderlands

Last winter, during a family trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we started the day by sitting in front of the fireplace in our hotel room and drinking steaming beverages before heading out to explore Grand Teton National Park on our cross-country skis. the country. After a quiet morning, we arrived at the Taggart Lake Trailhead to find it surrounded by a thick soup of fog. Despite being at the bottom of the Teton Range, we could see nary a Teton, but the parking lot was still packed with people getting ready to ski, snowshoe, or find backcountry powder.

Bungee Jumping: Leap Of Faith – For some reason, something gets excited in the human brain that makes us jump from a platform high in the sky with just a bungee cord to save us. When you really think about it, it’s crazy. But we still do it and we do it all over the world.

The history of bungee jumping goes back hundreds of years when it was known as ‘land diving’ in the small island nation of Vanuatu. Legend has it that a woman on Vanuatu’s Pentecost Island was unhappy with her husband and ran away from him into the jungle. The husband followed his wife into the forest and eventually started chasing her, in response to which she climbed a large tree. Then the husband followed her and climbed the tree and the woman tied some vines around her ankles and jumped from the tree. Her husband … Read the rest

Ice Climbing: Scaling Frozen Cascades – The drive to my home town takes me past the Mt Iron embankment on one side of the road and the maze on the other, with the “Leaning Tower of Wanaka”. I ski the hill and as always scan the mountains for signs of life. For a moment, before the east face of the Black Peak disappears behind trees, I see what I consider life: ice. On this day, when the air is stunned by winter, it slides in bright white lines down the bare slopes. Even though they are 30 kilometers apart, I know these lines are frozen waterfalls. A mixture of fear and a desire to climb the petrified cataract seeps into the car for the rest of the journey.

My friend Dave Vass shares my feeling for the ice. After a gentlemen’s breakfast at a lakeside cafe, he and I board … Read the rest
