Cool Pictures!

AkshunKat was born from a passion for outdoor adventures.  Enjoy these pictures from my years of climbing, SCUBA diving, mountain-biking, sailing, and whatever other trouble I could get myself into!  Check back often - I'll upload more.

 

MOUNT EDITH CAVELL, CANADIAN ROCKIES

High on the East Ridge of Mount Edith Cavell in the Canadian Rockies.  We brought a rope, but never used it.  Instead, we simul-soloed up the route - mostly snow and easy rock, with a few spots of low class-5 climbing.

 

CATALINA ISLAND, CALIFORNIA

SCUBA diving through the kelp forests off California's Catalina Island.  Catalina's tiny town of Avalon has an underwater park by the old casino, called Casino Point Dive Park, complete with stairs so you can walk right down into the water.  

 

MOAB, UTAH

Mountain biking near Moab, Utah.

 

OURZAZATE, MOROCCO

In 2014, I rented a BMW GS F800 in Marrakesh, Morocco, and rode around the country for 3 days by myself.  I covered more than 1,000km, ate some great food, and somehow didn't put diesel fuel into the bike!  (Yes, at some places it was hard to tell which was diesel and which was gas!)

 

DENALI, ALASKA

This is high above the clouds, at about 17,000 feet on the West Buttress route of Alaska's Denali (formerly known as Mount McKinley).  I ended up turning back 500 vertical feet below the summit because of a "whiteout".  I was all alone (long story), but at that moment I was the highest man in North America!

 

VIRGINIA, USA

Just some close to home mountain-biking on the trails of northern Virginia.  I'm riding a Specialized Carve Comp in this picture, but recently upgraded to a Trek Fuel EX5.
