It’s always a great time shooting with Hellwig Suspension because you’re in for a day around heavy machinery, hot melty steel, cool engineers, and awesome vehicles. Hellwig creates suspension products for load & sway control – basically the cool suspension upgrades that keep all four wheels on the ground when...

Climbing cracks in ‘DanLand’

It’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to bust up my fingers on some fresh granite, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to climb some cracks with the likes of Larry Zulim – one of the Yosemite greats. Of course even at sixty-something, this dude can...

joel russell moved here from texas. he’s a stellar individual, killer musician, exquisite barista, and great friend. joel has never gone camping, or explored the sequoias for that matter. This is not good.  we adventured to a top secret spot, bouldered, cooked camp food, built a fire, and switched campsites three...

We made it! Four of us reached the summit on Mount Whitney (elevation 14,505ft – highest peak in the continental US) via the mountaineers route, an off-trail requiring many third class scrambles and super sketchy ascents up rough granite, scree fields, and snow filled gullies. It was an endurance test;...
