BEFORE 30

On December 6th, 2015 I'm turning thirty.

I've got my work cut out for me...

What's all this then?

One of the spices of life is the arrival of something long anticipated. I have never been big on marking birthdays, but turning thirty feels like it deserves more than the usual last-second gathering of whichever friends didn't have plans when I called. Making some goals and having some expectations for myself gives me a reason to think about turning thirty more often this year, which hopefully will bring some sweetness to that day not so far away.
Why did I make a website about? Because telling people holds me to it.

Inspired by the likes of 35, Alex Honnold, The Birthday Challenge, and others.

The Goals

Ride

1,000 km&30,000 vertical meters

I love mountain biking. I want to make sure that every day that I'm not working or climbing, I'm riding.

Climb

30 pitches on lead

I've been working on my climbing since I was a kid. This year I want to have real gains in my headgame to be proud of.

Summit

3 mountains

Moving to Squamish was motivated by mountains. I want to see more of them than ever before.
