Bio:
Oddly enough, I was awarded the Shipton-Tilman Grant in '97 for a solo, winter, unsupported sea kayak expedition through 1600km of the Inside Passage, have done solo sea kayak expeditions along some of the most unfriendly areas of the Alaskan coast that were firsts or rarely done solo, at a pace of 65-100 km a day. I"m an ice, alpine, and rock climber (Antarctica, Alaska Range (including Denali), Alps, Himalayas, Dolomites, Western US, Northeastern US). Also done numerous solo 800 - 1600+ km bike trips across Alaska and the Yukon, in both summer and winter, at a pace of 130-290 km a day, camping unsupported, biked through the tundra in temperatures as cold as -45 F degrees below zero, and competed in a 600 mile canoe race on the Yukon River in Yukon territories that started with a hike over a snowy mtn pass with a 50 lb pack (required, not my idea, since the pack weighed half my body weight but we won first male/female team!) in 4 days. I've also given lectures and workshops in New York City on winter kayaking, winter survival strategies, navigation, tides and currents, and expedition planning, and been a gear tester for many companies, blabiddy.
