Climb

Climbing: Mother Natures most engaged moments.

The found savior of life.

Institutionally taught in 2018 by the University of Alaska Southeast Outdoor Studies & Leadership program, the four limb movement has changed Keegans perspective on sport, teamwork, and problem solving. As a new life long activity, a shift in physical and spiritual connection completed a second circle of life.

Taught in an awe inspiring setting, Keegan began his climbing journey at Juneau’s local sea cliff crags. Within a few hours he discovered the focus & stillness climbing offered. From there, a spark was generated and his journey was ignited.

Memorable Climbs

  • Cragging oceanside, Juneau ignited developed an ember that is my backbone.

  • Ascent of the NE ridge with partner Aaron. Beautiful summit, even better view. The Purple Mountains at its finest.

  • Ascent and descent via the climbers trail. Got stuck in a cloud on the summit, when it dissipated it opened up to gorgeous San Juan views.

  • Unsuccessful summit. We fell one pitch short and turned back due to weather.

  • My first of the 50 classic climbs in North America. The hardest rock climbing I have ever done.
