Trek in Iceland
Iceland is one those places that will have your face pressed with enthusiasm against the window of your arriving flight. Upon descent to this small North Atlantic island, you fight to get a glimpse of what is to come. It has a reputation; poor weather, stunning landscapes, massive ice caps and Gnome-like creatures [...]

Laugavegur Tour | Iceland
Tour du Mont Blanc | Running Trip
Unlike our other favorite trips, reflecting on this little outing is primarily a blur. The experience as a whole is there, but the individual components are not so sharp. Thanks to some IT Band issues, it hurt. But still, it makes the list of 5 Favorite Trips. This is why.
I knew who Topher Gaylord was [...]
Hiking the John Muir Trail | John Dittli
The John Muir Trail coffee table photography book by John Dittli
“Walk the Sky” | The John Muir Trail by John Dittli
Good things are found in the woodwork.
Or in this case, in the straw-bale.
John Dittli, together with his wife Leslie Goethals, are good things.
This morning, as I watched John cartwheel down Lower Rock Creek’s single track mountain bike trail, I decided he would make a great profile.
We first started hearing about John Dittli in 2001 when [...]
Climbing All California 14er | Part 3
Mt. Tyndall
With our new found enthusiasm for trail running, Mt. Tyndall was the perfect testing ground for a truly big day. While the peak does have a steep northeast face with some real climbing, all the routes were closed for Bighorn Sheep grazing. This left the long, slabby northwest face as the alternative. But [...]

Climbing California 14ers
With seven 14ers down and seven to go, we had options; rock climbing in the Whitney group or try one of the long car to car endeavors. We decided to do the Sierra’s southernmost 14er, Mt. Langley, deal with the huge distance to and from, and then go to Whitney.
And for this we [...]
Climbing California 14,000 Foot Peaks
I found this story archived in our computer and have decided to publish it (in three parts) to DolomiteSport along with the photos. I hope it serves as inspiration to reader’s for 2010 summer plans.
It was great fun to read this text and see how both our outlook and lives have changed. After the summer [...]
Pfunderer Höhenweg
The Pfunderer Höhenweg Hiking Tour
Late in the fall of 2008, we found ourselves on one of the best ridge line trails we had ever seen. We were trail running the Sud Tirol’s Pfunderer Höhenweg in the Zillertal Alpen above Bruneck and wanted to see a summit we know locals frequent for post work exercise, the [...]
Hidding during Ferragosto
To me, the word “Ferragosto” makes me think of ringing cellphones, family squabbles and lots of dark, tanned skin being shown off on the decks of huts. Just what is this Ferragosto and why hidding during August? For American readers it is really only a useful term for trivia board games, but if one is [...]
Iceland Laugavegur Tour
As photographers we are fortunate to be able to travel to the most beautiful natural places to do our work. We’ve just returned from our third work trip to Iceland, a destination we chose for the work. The landscape, the colors and the absolute stunning & unique qualities are what brought us back not once, [...]
