Early mornings, late nights and the anticipation of the next weather cycle. Breaking trail, first tracks and a need for the unknown. These phenomena inspire Patagonia‘s innovative film series #Find_Away. The latest instalment is AK Girls Way:

 

 

This short film is dedicated to the memory of Liz Daley – pro climber, mountain guide, and splitboarder – who was lost to an avalanche in Argentina. The 29-year-old native of Tacoma, Washington was descending the 7000-foot Cerro Vespignani near Mount Fitzroy in September of last year when the avalanche struck. In a tragic coincidence, we lost Daley on the same day that freeskiers JP Auclair and Andreas Fransson perished in an avalanche in Chile.

To honour Liz Daley, a scholarship fund has been created to support women who “Live Like Liz”. Donate at www.livelikeliz.com.

“She hid nothing and held nothing back,” writes freeskier and friend Drew Tabke, who was with her on the day she died. “In a world of people who wear masks, Liz was always Liz. If she liked you, she liked you. And if she didn’t, she’d probably let you know, though I’m just guessing as I never saw that happen…. There was simply no hurdle you could put in front of her to slow her down. Crippling tendonitis in her feet one season? Pushed through the pain and overcame it. Paying for seasons in Chamonix before she had sponsors by working 70-hour weeks at restaurants, tree-trimming crews, and more recently, guiding? Did it all without breaking a sweat.  She progressed so fast, flew so high, burned so bright, it was hard to believe she was even from this planet.”

Finding that picture perfect moment with @sweenyj #mountainlifer
The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
The @rab.equipment  dynamic Cirrus Flex is a soft, lightweight hybrid synthetic insulation for mountain-friendly layering. Keeping you warm and perfectly suited to journey in the mountains. #TheMountainPeople #WeAreRab
"@normhann and I lashed paddleboards to the roof of his truck and headed north along the Island Highway, towards Telegraph Cove. Norm had invited me to tag along on a commercial paddleboard group he would be guiding in the Broughton Archipelago. Despite a long history of SUP expeditions, I harboured some reservations."
To date, more than 6,000 people have summitted Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 metres of elevation above sea level. And only a tiny handful of those climbers have been Black.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the rad moms out there! Here’s our Art Director & Head Designer @calypsodesign getting cozy with some sharks. #mountainlifer #mothersday
Making core memories on the trails ✨ #mountainlifer
