There are numerous beautiful and wild places to see, explore, and stir inspiration within. That to find your way in the wilderness is also to often find something more meaningful about life. Through the effort and risk of exploration, there are pain, suffering, and times of sheer exhilaration. The net outcome is a positive experience that lasts and inspires an adventure-minded person for a lifetime. Many wilderness miles I have walked while in prayer, or with worship music. At the top of mountain peaks, summit registers were signed with, “Our God is an Awesome God.”
Without any desire to prove anything or seek any accolades, I have summited over 120 peaks from class-1 walk-ups to class-5.11 technical ascents. I backpacked across the Sierra from West to East. I have completed various mountaineering, backpacking, and wilderness courses. And I’ve volunteered with Sequoia Mountain Search & Rescue, where I learned much about technical climbing and interpersonal teamwork on a whole new level. More recently my interests have shifted to the Southwest to include wilderness locations in Arizona and more remote places further North.
