We don’t only write about and photograph our adventures – Skyler also has a tradition of compiling footage from what we do to make a video based “compilation of adventure” which (for this Fall semester) can be seen right here! The Year in Review: From the desk of Tyler Greetings loyal fans and casual perusers! It’s […]
Read more "The Year in Review"“Every adventure is worthwhile.” –Amelia Earhart Good day friends and fellow adventurers! Skyler here. This blog post will detail my travels and experiences in Ecuador. This was my first time in South America, and what a trip it was! It started a bit hectic; my family booked us to go over my Thanksgiving Break […]
Read more "Ecuadork"In a previous post, Order of the White Lottis, an account was made of trying to reach Henry Lake in the Fossil Ridge Wilderness. That attempt didn’t work out, and so we decided to give the South Lottis trail another go this last Saturday (October 24th). We departed Gunnison around noon and made the drive […]
Read more "Oh Henry, Where Art Thou?"The Crestone Needle and Crestone Peak Standard Routes: The South Face of both. To begin, I’ll say despite a myriad of successful summits before this weekend, I’m not a particularly experienced climber. Sure, I’ve done Wetterhorn and the Sawtooth Ridge, but my experience on class three and four climbs is reasonably limited. How’d this all […]
Read more "Trip Report: Sangre De Crestones"This post will detail two separate trips. Part one covers climbing Sunshine Peak and Redcloud Peak. Part two is about the climb of Handies Peak. Without further ado… Part One September 6, 2015 Sunday morning arrived with only darkness and wanderlust to greet weary eyes. The 3 AM wake-up in Gunnison and the subsequent drive […]
Read more "Trip Report: Sunshine on a Cloudy Day"On August 30th we (Tyler, Skyler, and Tshering) hiked Wetterhorn Peak. It wasn’t the conventional route, but perhaps a more exciting one. We left from Gunnison, CO at about 3:30 AM. The drive up to Lake City, and up Engineer Pass, was clear. We parked at the fork for the Henson Creek Road. It’s possible […]
Read more "Trip Report: The Non-Standard Route"As indicated by the lack of recent posts from either Skyler or I, school has started! In our finite wisdom, we both decided to sign up for a class that took place during the two weeks prior to the official school start day. It was called Colorado Ecoregions. Essentially, this upper division biology course would […]
Read more "A Path Less Traveled"Mt. Sherman and Challenger Point. The Wednesday started as so many do: promptly waking up at 7AM for a dentist appointment and an oil change. I had requested both Wednesday and Thursday off, and I figured that after my morning appointments on Wednesday I could take a few friends out to the Sangre De Cristo […]
Read more "Trip Report: An Unlikely Pair"Hey guys, Skyler here. Ty is still adventuring at his job in a distant summer camp, probably with limited dial-up internet access. I think and hope we might hear from him soon. Yesterday marked my one year anniversary of starting to climb Colorado 14ers (mountains in Colorado over 14,000 ft.). It was marked by my […]
Read more "Trip Report: Delectable DeCaLiBross"The writer half of the Overcast Adventurers finds himself working as a quartermaster for a summer camp this summer, so this entry is coming from just the photographer (and questionable writer) half. We miss you, Tyler. We’ll adventure soon. How’d this all start? Last semester (way before the earthquakes), a friend of mine named Jenn […]
