For the first time in over 50 years, new passages were discovered at Natural Bridge Caverns. Pristine passages with huge formations and amazing colors. A must see!
Follow my step-by-step guide to convert your existing vertical system into another. You can even to do it at the base of a climb just before you ascend.
Follow my progress in real time as I hike the Appalachian Trail (AT), Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and Continental Divide Trail (CDT). I am attempting the Calendar Year Triple Crown where I hike all three trails from January to December in the same year.
You can even message me directly from the map, and I will receive it on the trail!
Lee White made a historic climb of Dome Pit in Natural Bridge Caverns and discovered the first new passage in Natural Bridge in over 50 years. We documented that climb with drones flying in the cave as he climbed, in-cave video interviews, and great photos of that expedition and of the amazing passage and colorful formations found beyond.
My customized vertical system that allows easy switching among Frog, Rope Walker, Mitchell, and Texas systems, complete with diagrams and detailed assembly and sizing instructions.
Geary Schindel wanted the Bexar Grotto‘s HydroGeo committee to secretly give him $5,000. When we refused, he falsely accused us of misappropriation of funds, fraud, and laundering money. He then used those false accusations to threaten us with attorneys.
I refused to be intimidated. Instead, I compiled the facts and exposed Geary Schindel’s treachery and lies.
Porcupine World War
I woke up at 2 A.M. and heard a gnawing noise. Still groggy, I listened a bit more. Yep. Gnawing noise coming from the rock next to me. I grab my headlamp, turn it on, and there’s a porcupine butt in my face.
Storms and Cow Ponds
Cresting a mountain top, I was surrounded by multiple storms. Rain and lightning all around me. But I had to push on. I had to find drinkable water.
Mustangs and Horny Toads
After my last heartbreaking post, I wanted to post a more upbeat message. Like one about horny toads, lemonade stands, and wild mustangs.
Loneliness on the CDT
I stood there, watching her walk away, not knowing what to do. It felt surreal, like I was an observer watching a movie that suddenly took an unsettling twist. I was powerless to do anything about it, so I just sat in my seat, cringing as I watched the movie unfold. It was the loneliest day of my life.
Fuck Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park was a nightmare just trying to get access. So bad that I skipped that section of the CDT.
Continental Divide Trail: Starting at Copper Mountain
Started the Continental Divide Trail right after I finished the Appalachian Trail. I’m doing a “flipflop”, starting in the middle at Copper Mountain and hiking north to the Canadian border, then returning to Copper Mountain and hiking south to the Mexican border.
