Adam, Matt and I camped just below the summit of Dragontail and got caught in a surprise storm - but not before we watched this beautiful sunrise over the Enchantments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/33fe774f-f782-4a05-8cb5-819bee5fc93c/best_of_2025-8.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out In late April, Alex came up for his annual spanking by the Weld brothers, and this time around he happened to arrive on opening weekend of the North Cascades Highway. We headed up onto the Ragged Ridge for one of my favorite ski trips of the year, camping just below the summit of Cosho. Here’s the first light of sunrise hitting the north side of Goode. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/fcd787ce-3088-4d91-8d0c-532b4837ced1/best_of_2025-9.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out The next day, on the way out, Adam and I checked out this very cool ice cave on the Katsuk Glacier.

It was an amazing trip punctuated by some less-than-stellar weather, but we had a few amazing days with stunning views. Here’s Jirishanca and Nevado Rondoy before sunrise on our second day of the trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/72f608a2-aed7-4142-9d1b-7049726900c3/best_of_2025-11.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out A few days later, Dad and I had an amazing evening photographing this view of Nevado Puscantrurpa lit up by fiery sunset light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/fbe65c42-c6c3-4a83-8d43-bb9728fccb4d/best_of_2025-12.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out In June, Becca and I headed back to BC for some climbing, then headed up for a quick camping trip in Garibaldi Provincial Park. We had a great time (and Becca did a great job) skiing back down from the Black Tusk by moonlight, with a stunning view of Lake Garibaldi below Mount Garibaldi still catching some alpenglow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/f95718b9-dfc3-45c4-89ab-f5154cbeef69/best_of_2025-14.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out July brought the first of our alpine traverses: the Ptarmigan Traverse, which follows the crest of the Cascades south from the southern edge of North Cascades National Park towards Glacier Peak. I’d explored the area along the route from both ends, but had never done the whole traverse before, so it was fun to finally visit some places that had been on my list for many years, like this view of Dome Peak and the Chickamin Glacier from White Rock Lakes, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/3d93f635-ca7f-4532-aee9-e5ba8a91906f/best_of_2025-13.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out We’ll have to come back to climb Gunsight, though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/bffde9c0-b60a-41d2-ab32-8146a8e0823a/best_of_2025-15.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Adam and Helene and Becca walking past Glacier Peak on the last night of the trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/c77fc190-998a-492a-aa88-440d521e1449/best_of_2025-16.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Later in July I got to explore another new-to-me area of the Cascades, climbing Daniel, Hinman, Lynch, and Dip Top on a great 1.5 day solo trip. This view of Daniel, the Lynch Glacier, and Pea Soup lake was awesome! My knee started giving me some IT band trouble on the way out, but thankfully it seems to be doing OK now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/9595ebbd-37fe-4445-af14-6250fb43a142/best_of_2025-17.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Matt, Eric, Becca, and I set out a few weeks later to attempt the Torment-Forbidden Traverse in another 1.5 day trip. We had a grand time, including an airy bivy just below the summit of Torment. We woke up to this stunning undercast filling the Cascade River valley, looking south to some of the peaks along the Ptarmigan we’d passed by earlier that month: Spider, Dome, Formidable, and Glacier Peak. Johannesburg is the closer peak to the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/521677dc-8422-4d96-a779-04b0ef09a25c/wedding.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Normally I wouldn’t include photos I didn’t take in this, but this one from August seems important :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/9317f96e-670a-4301-a8a5-0bcc0f485f0a/best_of_2025-18.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Later in August, I engaged in a harebrained scheme to camp above Sibley Pass and have Adam and Shawn intercept me in the morning for a trip up the Three Dicks. The sunrise on Hidden Lake Peaks was gorgeous, and I went back to sleep until Shawn and Adam found me in my bivy sack along the ridge an hour or two later… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/ee5dc615-0631-4dcd-a3b9-c8f45704acc4/best_of_2025-19.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out The climb of the Three Dicks itself was a ton of fun, with incredible views of the West Face of Eldorado as we scrambled along the exposed ridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/c3297140-1147-4667-8747-6468b24be44b/best_of_2025-20.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Over Labor Day weekend, Matt, Austin, Becca and I set off across the border into BC to do a traverse across the Tantalus Range, a rugged part of the Coast Mountains looming over Squamish. It was a super fun trip, with amazing views, lots of elevation gain, a surprise thunderstorm, and bunches of rock-ice-rock transitions that late in the season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/6d444606-3a92-421f-8e7f-4e69ae3d736f/best_of_2025-21.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out Rappelling off the summit of Mount Tantalus itself was epic, and we descended past the Witch’s Tooth, an impossible-looking rock needle.

Before I knew it, autumn arrived in the mountains, and we headed over to the Methow with my family, including a nice overnight at Copper Glance Lake among the golden larches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/46b76b03-cf65-414a-b7f0-deab9cb93b7e/best_of_2025-23.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out The next week brought an early winter storm to the Cascades, and I headed right back to the Methow a week later, this time with skis, for an early October overnight ski tour up to Raven Ridge. It was exhausting breaking trail through deep snow, so I didn’t make it to the summit, but after a frigid bivy I was rewarded with an amazing sunrise, with backlit larches above Crater Lake. I skied back out to my car, got my flat tire repaired, and drove straight home to catch a flight that very night to leave for CSCW in Norway. A full-value day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/aea3c3b9-6693-4112-82ac-69d992257972/best_of_2025-24.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out On the way to Norway, I stopped for a day in the Catskills, and I had a grand time photographing the fall foliage, waterfalls, and mountain landscapes.

One of many highlights of our time in Moab was riding a few of the classic mountain biking trails, including the Whole Enchilada, and the Slickrock Trail pictured with Adam riding here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/a193b32d-0868-4069-85d0-85242790cfbe/best_of_2025-33.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out We didn’t only bike, though! We also did some canyoneering trips, some climbing, and an early morning climb and rappel off of Looking Glass Arch, which Becca is framed by in this photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/85dff9d1-51b6-4517-b679-4af31b8a1d32/best_of_2025-34.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out The most memorable part of our time in Utah, however, was a quick backpacking trip in Canyonlands National Park, where by an extraordinary stroke of luck we happened to see the aurora from some of the darkest skies in the country. Normally the aurora isn’t visible as far south as Utah, but a strong solar storm happened to arrive on the one night we were camped in a stunning backcountry spot! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59c1330ae9bfdfe92e1c9bb9/0122ffe4-2235-457b-88af-48a868aaecd2/best_of_2025-35.jpg blog - Best Photos of 2025 - Make it stand out After Utah, we drove west towards California to spend Thanksgiving with Becca’s family.

Despite an abysmal start to the ski season, Eric and I made the most of a high pressure system with a New Years Eve ski descent in glorious weather of the Nisqually Glacier in Mount Rainier National Park, checking out a new line that neither of us had skied before.
