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!
2012 was good. Here are some things I made. 2013 is also shaping up well. I am working on wrapping up my biggest project of life so far. Track the progress of ‘Wind & Rattlesnakes‘ a documentary about climbing in Lander, Wyoming. And… I’m heading to Patagonia next week for two months to film NOLS courses. Then in June I should be joining Expedition Denali (the 1st vid below) in climbing Denali, the highest peak in N America. Happiness.
Cut this short promo for Elemental Training Center here in Lander. I just use the climbing wall at the gym but the group workouts look pretty fun too!
To match a catalogue and website redesign we’ve cut a new marketing piece for NOLS that highlights some of our core beliefs and the way students end up benefitting from those values.
Had a bunch of fun filming Lander locals climbing at some of the most beautiful crags around Lander. I debuted this last week at our local Reel Rock showing where we had around 80 people show up and raised over $700 to support local bolting efforts!
Got back to Lander last week after spending most of the summer doing two NOLS courses in Alaska! The first was a 30 day hiking course in the Eastern Alaska Range (my first as an instructor). The second was a 21 day sea kayaking course on Prince William Sound full of Naval Academy Midshipmen (a training block for them) which I tagged along on exclusively to shoot video. I put up a Flickr album of each course, video content to follow in the not-too-distant future, enjoy!
Took me a while to get this one edited as I didn’t have any specific deadline for it until recently. With the help of NOLS and other local sponsors I hosted a showing of the Reel Rock Tour for Lander and finished up this video to debut it at the show. We had a great turnout with almost 70 people packing into the Gannett Grill to watch some sweet sweet climbing porn. Check out my vid of me and some buds bouldering in Utah!
Very excited about this video I shot of my buddy Chris sending his hardest new line of the summer. Check it out!
