Gear – Wind Jacket Review: Houdini vs. Sirocco

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Eric Carter

Race – Whistler 5 Peaks Trail Race

Posted on August 29, 2012February 18, 2013 by Eric Carter

Sarah and I both attended the 2012 5 Peaks race in Whistler this weekend (actually on Blackcomb Mtn. due to snow conditions across the valley). The enduro category is the longer and more competitive distance at 10 km with 750 meters of elevation gain. Even after missing our alarm, we made it up to Whistler[…]

Training – Nepal Trail Run

Trip Report – Wedge N. Arete Attempt

Posted on August 14, 2012November 3, 2012 by Eric Carter

On August 12, 2011, I climbed the N. Arete of Wedge Mountain in a day by myself. Without realizing it, exactly one year later, Sarah and I set off to climb the same route. We got an early start from Squamish and left the trailhead around 6:30am. It took just two hours to get up[…]
