My day to day work at PBS is most often comprised of filming talk shows indoors… but thanks to Nate Shucker’s vision for documenting Cody ice climbing legend Aaron Mulkey, I got to rope up for some high angle cinematography on this shoot!
Newest edition of “Lander Rock Climbs” out now! New photos, areas, and of course routes. Check out Scud Wall’s latest addition “Smithereens.” I’m a little biased, but I think it’s pretty damn fun. Buy your copy from our local climbing shop
Love how this Wyoming tourism piece turned out! Lots of fun checking out new spots and events around Fremont County I hadn’t seen before.
Fresh out of an icky gooey womb, it’s the Lander guide 2015!!
Buy it and discover the joy and beauty!!!!!
Got some of my climbing footage used in a big time commercial! Check out my buddy Graham climbing at Wild Iris @ 37 seconds in.
That shot was from an old classic, “Lander Rock Climbing” check it out here if you missed it a few years ago!
A not so common wedding story…
Brian and Mandy left their home on bicycles (rode 14 miles), hiked into the Cirque of the Towers in Wyoming’s Wind River Range (24 miles), climbed the Northeast Face of Pingora Peak (1,200′ of climbing, 11,884′ summit elevation, Grade IV, 5.8, 9 pitches), got married, and reversed the approach. On their wedding day they were awake and moving for 24 hours, the entire trip was just under 45 hours.
Special thanks to Jamie O’Donnell for officiating and Sam Lightner Jr. for being the Maid of Honor.
This was by far the most unique and fun wedding I’ve been to, thanks Mandy & Brian for inviting me to be part of your special day!
A little bit of unused footage from last years feature film, “Wind & Rattlesnakes” (vimeo.com/78859472). BJ Tilden ups the ante to 5.14C on the hardest route in Sinks Canyon near Lander, Wyoming.
I just posted my first feature length documentary online! A historical rock climbing film centered around my current home, Lander, Wyoming. At nearly two years in the making it was a huge labor of love and I couldn’t be happier with it. windandrattlesnakes.com
The Expedition Denali NOLS trip was a huge success. Including media and support crew we got 19 people to 19,600 feet (only 700 feet shy of the top!) and were only thwarted from reaching the summit due to a crazy electrical storm, the likes of which one park ranger who has worked there for 15 years said he has never seen. I could hear electricity in my ears… needless to say everyone was happy to just get back down safely. Distill has released a great teaser for the Kickstarter backers (that includes a bunch of my shots!) and we’re all eagerly awaiting to see what they produce for a documentary over the next year.

Wind & Rattlesnakes finally premiered last month at Lander’s annual climbers’ festival. We packed the house at the high school auditorium and people were psyched! Next step, submitting it to the festivals!
