Notable Expeditions

Cordillera Huayhuash Circuit

Considered quite challenging and undoubtedly far more demanding than the famous Inca Trail, the Huayhuash Circuit spans 30 km of central Peru, including seven peaks over 6000 m high. The circuit typically takes between 10-14 days, but I got off the trail on day 9 due to my broken neck.

Nicknamed the Reek, Croagh Patrick is a 764 m (2,507 ft) mountain that is an important site of pilgrimage in Ireland. For centuries, pilgrims climbed the mountain barefoot as an act of penance, which is a practice that continues with an estimated one million people drawn to the mountain annually, though most choose to not climb barefoot.

I spent four months hitchhiking nearly 2,650 km along Norway’s coastline—starting in Skarsvåg, the world’s northernmost fishing village, and finishing my journey in Oslo, the nation’s capitol. With almost 300 mountain peaks above 2,000 m in the Scandinavian Mountains, I was able to climb a different mountain nearly every day.

Torres Del Paine “O” Circuit

This difficult 6-10 day loop is comprised of the “W” section of the circuit, plus the more remote backside. This renowned Patagonian hike is approximately 110 km in length with optional side hikes. I hiked this circuit in April during the off season allowing me to move at a brisk 6 day pace without delays and with minimal interruptions.

Located in the Andes Mountains, Cotopaxi is an active stratovolcano. With a height of 5,897 m (19,347 ft), it is the second highest summit in Ecuador, and one of the world’s highest volcanoes. Avalanche conditions forced me to turn back before a successful summit.

Spanning across 7,000 km of land with altitude measuring an average of about 4,000 m, the Andean Mountains are the longest continental mountain range in the world. Over a three-month period, I tackled trails and peaks in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. After sustaining the significant injury of a broken neck, I forced my return to the US two months earlier than planned.

Mt. Kilimanjaro Summit

Located in Tanzania, Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing mountain in the world. Measuring in at 5,895 m (19,341 ft) above sea level it takes on average 5-14 days to reach the summit. I crested the summit on July 29,2015 at 6:25am just in time to watch a spectacular sunrise.
