Hi, I'm Bill from Portland, Oregon. Here are some videos of adventures from the Northwest and around the world. Hiking, mountaineering, running, biking, skiing... and building cool stuff.
Mt. Bachelor Ski Weekend
MLK weekend ski trip to Mount Bachelor in sunny Central Oregon. A fantastic weekend of ripping it up on the mountain and good times hanging at the rental houses in Sunriver. A couple of massive wipeouts, but no trips to the hospital - this time! Adam, Bill, Brandon, Carter, Conley, Enis, Garrett, Joey, Kelvin, Mike K, and Mike M.

Climbing Smith Rock

Mike and I spent three days doing multi-pitch climbs at Smith Rock. First Kiss, Voyage of the Cowdog, Dirty Pinkos, and others. Such a fun place to climb, with really solid rock, sunny weather, and fantastic views. Here are some video highlights. This is the first video I've ever made in portrait. Mike keeps telling me to put these on the Gram, maybe someday I will.

This year we created an entire candy village, complete with church, houses, wishing well, walking paths, forest, and town square with Christmas tree. In true modern-day Christmas spirit, a couple of the houses have Amazon packages waiting on the front porch!
Snow camp skiing

Always wanted to see what it was like to camp out in six feet of snow. Finally made it happen this week. What an incredible night on the mountain, a winter wonderland under a clear sky full of stars. Next morning we were right on the doorstep of Mount Hood Meadows ski resort, where we had an epic day with perfect conditions. Here's some video highlights.
Climbing Broken Top
Переглядів 1645 місяців тому
Two-day climb to the summit of Broken Top (9,177'). What a great mountaineering adventure! A relatively short approach, absolutely beautiful ridge climb to the summit block, and just enough of a thrill at the top to get your heart pounding with a short class 5 technical climb. We camped at Green Lakes and had a glorious late afternoon swim in the shadow of South Sister. Fantastic.

Welding class

Thought it would be fun to take a welding class at the local community college. It's been a blast. Cutting holes in half-inch thick steel plate with a cutting torch. Using a track torch to cut out metal shapes, then welding them together at various angles. What a great time.
