Doing Unnecessary Shit – 2021

At the start of 2020, we had big plans. Like extraordinarily big plans. We had dubbed it the year of doing Unnecessary Shit. Then this little thing called a pandemic crept into our lives like an anvil falling on a coyote creeps and a good chunk of what we had on the calendar came and went and we spent most of the year doing things alone, big things close to town, trying to be “safe” and responsible. The Alliance snuck in a few unnecessary things, but for the most part, it was a fairly quiet year.

2021 came in with a lot of optimism and the roller coaster we’ve come to call normal continued to derail itself at every corner. With that said, we maybe didn’t do as much unnecessary shit as we wanted, but we got out and got after enough to look back on the year and feel like it was not wasted.

Here’s your recap.

The season opener is a classic.

My 40th

This trip set a new benchmark for me. Currently scheming on how to celebrate again this year and it’s hard to come up with something better.
This one. I think the title says it all, but it was another one of those that is likely defined as once in a lifetime and yet, we’ll do something like this again.

Lounge to Summit

Upcoming edition: Bigger, longer and date to be determined.

I h❤️te Running

Well, this was a long day of being totally lost in my head chasing something that I knew was fickle, but it was a great day on the mountain.

Getting Lost

Bonus: Two Things to Always Bring into the Backcountry

And just like that we are staring down the loaded barrel of another year. As we say goodbye to what was, I can’t help but be excited to see what kind of unnecessary shit we can get ourselves into next year.

Peace. Love. and Revolution.
