Howdy everyone, Eric here. Total newbie to this training group! I just moved out to Sandy, UT from Saint Paul, MN for my first job out of college and I’m eager to get after some bigger stuff in the mountains this Summer. I ran and skied competitively in high school and part of college but tapered back on that to pursue more rock/ice/mixed climbing goals. Lately I’ve been structuring my training based off TFTNA but I craved a bit more structure.
My big goals right now are the Cirque of the Towers traverse in the Winds, the Grand Traverse in the Tetons, and some other traverses and linkups in the Wasatch. Also the Wind River High Route, which my dad and I attempted last summer. Next Winter I’d like to get more into ski mountaineering and pursue some more remote ice/mixed routes in the lower 48 and Canada. Further off in the future I’d like to get to Patagonia, Alaska, and the Karakoram.
I’m stoked to get after it!
