Tag Team

In a unfortunate twist, Steve has had to withdrawn from the team due to some unexpected circumstances. We certainly wish Steve the best as he has been an important part of getting this trip off the ground.

At this time, we'd like to announce that Daniel Clark will be the fourth team member. We've been working hard for the past week to work out all the details and go through all the proper channels with our sponsors. Daniel is about the only person who could jump onto a team two weeks before departure and not miss a beat. We're certainly glad to have him and he's primed to get after it. Dan was born in England and currently resides in Boston. He climbs with Mike and Chris on a regular basis. A short little bio is below:

Dan is always up for an adventure, no matter what kind. Born in England, Dan lived in several locations internationally before settling down in the United States. Exploring his surroundings wherever life took him, Dan set off on his first big adventure in 2004, at the age of 17. With partner Mike Royer, he traversed 400 miles of the Colorado Trail, the highest elevation trail in the United States, climbing several peaks along the way. After a few years exploring the northeastern United States, Dan escaped to Peru’s Cordillera Blanca in 2008 where he logged ascents of the northwest face of Yanapaccha, the northwest ridge of Tocllaraju, and the West ridge of Shaqsha. Back home, Dan enjoys training for his next big trip by climbing trad, sport, and ice. He hopes to continue honing his skills while seeking out adventure in the far corners of the world.
