“When I came down from that mountain, I was very depressed because I had achieved my goal and didn’t have another one,” Kalozdi says. “I decided that every year I would climb one mountain. At the summit of each one, I’d set the goal for the next year.” Climb she did, year after year, summit after summit. On June 4, 2005, Kalozdi became the only known New Orleans

Within 10 months I hope to be able to save and plan for a summer trip to Whistler Bike Park in British Columbia. I have always loved mountain biking as a hobby to both stay in shape and have a blast doing it. Within the past two years I have gotten into downhill mountain biking. A discipline where you take a shuttle up to the top of a trail/mountain, and riding extreme trails downhill. These trails have large features such as jumps, gaps, drops. The risk is definitely increased but the adrenaline

Mount Fromme, a mecca for local mountain bikers is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the North Shore, but don’t be fooled by the men and women riding the trails. Day hikers are also welcome in the area and the Big Cedar trail to Kennedy Falls is a must see. Who can resist a 600+ year old red cedar, cascading waterfalls, boulders, deadfall and creek crossings? I know I can’t! The hike to Kennedy Falls is approximately 10km long, and in terms of mountain trails it is relatively flat. As

Siren In the summer of 2015, I traveled to the K2 mountain. It is ranked as one of the highest mountains in the world – second only to Mount Everest. My trip to the mountain, which stands between the borders of China and Pakistan, was both insightful and inspiring. The mountain’s vast and undisturbed landscapes were stunning and majestic, yet perilous and destructive. The journey opened my eyes to the allure and awesome power of nature and its difficult relationship with humanity. At night time

educational tour. I saw and did so many new things while there, but the most memorable experience I had was while we were in Assisi, the patron city of St. Francis. There lies the Rocca Maggiore, a medieval castle that still stands today among a throng of mountains. With free time to spare to do as we pleased, our group made of entirely of students and adults from Sterlington began up a steep, winding path to reach the castle. I remember how tiring it was to continually climb uphill, but the various flowers

When climbing up a metaphorical mountain, your own mountain, it’s going to take more than just the two-Timberland boots that were purchased by an inspired buyer. What I mean by your own mountain is that everybody has different mountain heights and their own pair of boots, whether the boots are from Nike or a 15-dollar pair from the local clothing store. This mountain represents my life, not just life, but emphasis on my. Maybe, acquiring the view from the top takes more than just two feet and a pocket

“You don't climb mountains without a team, you don't climb mountains without being fit, you don't climb mountains without being prepared and you don't climb mountains without balancing the risks and rewards. And you never climb a mountain on accident - it has to be intentional.”-Mark Udall. This quote proves that the split second before you do something you make a conscious decision to do it knowing that the outcome might be bad. I believe that risk-taking climbers shouldn’t be able to get rescue
