So about a year ago a semi-annual tradition got started…
The way it works is that every 6 months the toughest woman I know and I do a one day, 30 mile hike through the mountains with a TON of elevation gain and loss. It’s up and up and up and then down and down and down…
We call it the ‘Deathmarch’ and it’s a ton of fun.
Here’s a video I put together using photos and snapchat videos showing you what the last Winter Deathmarch was like when we did it 2 days ago (December 23rd)!
This particular hike was a tough one because there had been a huge dump of snow at high elevations that forced us to do some careful navigating, and at lower elevations it’s currently sleeting. So challenging conditions to say the least…
If this was interesting to you then this article on mental toughness has a couple pictures from the first Deathmarch (in winter) and here’s some video footage from the second Deathmarch (in summer).
Also, if you want to follow along on future expeditions (and, incidentally, keep up with the copious BJJ content that I share on those channels) then check out my instagram and snapchat feeds…
And finally, if you want me to shut up about outdoor endeavors and get back to jiu-jitsu then don’t despair; Lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise I’ve got some really cool stuff coming for you soon!
