Casaval Training from Mark Emerson on Vimeo.
Mt. Shasta during a winter training climb. Using all the skills we've learned over the last few year we wanted to push ourselves a little bit with the weather, navigation, physical ability and knowledge. Building a snow cave and learning quite a bit about what to expect in cold weather.

First Attempt at Mt. Whitney (Inyo National Forest)
This was one of my first "bigger" trips, from way back in 2011 -- I was such a noob back then, and for what it's worth, I'm still pretty much noob. But hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right? I find this kind of funny how dramatic I made this out to be, but to be fair, it was the first time I almost puked my brains out from a case of altitude sickness. I was so out of shape back then too. Ah, it's so precious. Hahaha...
