We all have a choice.
Do we take what we’re given or create something better? Lay low in the valleys or chase ridgelines?
Uphill effort is the antidote to the modern grind.
Nerves and noise give way to sweat and sound. Doubt turns into joy. And then there’s the view.
People find different paths to the mountains, and yours can start anywhere.
That’s why we’re lighting the way with stories of uncommon journeys and the unexpected protagonists finding alt routes to high places.
So join us, get out there, and delight in the detour.
