Hi everyone! I know it’s been a few months since we posted anything, but we are not gone. Now that winter is on the retreat, we’ll soon be back to a more regular hiking schedule. That means more amazing pictures and uninspired writing for you all! For this particular adventure we made the short hike […]
Read more "Campbell Ramble"“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"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"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 […]
Read more "Namaste: Traveling to Nepal after the Earthquakes"Like many great days, this one started with… classes? Yes, this adventure actually happened on a Thursday, so Skyler and I were hard at work until the afternoon. Upon fleeing geology lab, Skyler suggested that we actually go and do something, rather than a spend another evening working on projects. I couldn’t agree more, and […]
Read more "A Coal Day in Hell"Good day faithful followers and casual perusers! What follows here will be a fascinating account of excitement and intrigue… in two parts! Read in awe as the Overcast Adventurers brave the Black Canyon of the Gunnison not once, but twice! The Black Canyon is an ancient geologic feature in the Southwest quadrant of Colorado, roughly […]
