Switching gears from going fast and light to slow and heavy to prepare for my next big objective. In September, @rob.lea and I are heading to climb and ski Cho Oyu, the sixth highest peak in the world. Going to the Himalayas has been a lifelong dream for me, and I’m stoked that we’re finally doing it! Yesterday, we loaded up our packs with 40lbs and hiked up the mountain to build power in the legs for what’s ahead. Stay tuned for more! #ChoFoSho #rapidascent #MountainsAreForEveryoneSpecial shout out to @lekiusa, who makes my poles and gloves. Leki was my first sponsor many years ago, and I’m so grateful for their support. I highly recommend their trekking and ski poles for all of you active mountain people. It saves the knees.
