I have created ReillyTravels.com, to share my photos and writing from my personal experience and adventures climbing, backpacking, and traveling the world.

What better place for a destination wedding than #Tahoe #SierraNevada #California (at Emerald Bay Lake Tahoe)

I had a fun time today cragging with my @Arcteryx Denver crew! A solid team of great people that I'm stoked to be apart of! #Arcteryx #showusyourbird

Humboldt Peak (right and out of view) eclipses Crestone Needle and Ellingwood Arête leaving the basin in a cold still shadow below, while the peaks bask in a warm energizing light above. Up here even light and shadow play by the rules of the mountains. #alpine #14ers #Colorado

My current view of #CrestoneNeedle from #HumboldtPeak #14ers #SangredeCristo #Colorado

Happy #4thofJuly from the summit of 14er #HumboldtPeak. We sure are lucky to live in the USA and have all this wild land to play on whenever we want. The #SangredeCristo is one of my favorite mountain ranges anywhere. These mountains have a unique rugged and rocky characteristic with very vertical terrain, much different than the rest of Colorado. Behind me are #14ers #CrestoneNeedle left and #CrestonePeak right. "Ellingwood Arête" is a big alpine route up the face of Crestone Needle to my right. I've had my eyes on it for years. I attempted the hike up Crestone Needle from the backside in 2006, but was shut down by snow in early June, and then again on an attempt of nearby 14er Kit Carson Mountain in 2007. I will summit them another time, but currently I'm stoked I finally knocked a Sangre 14er off my list! Have fun and be safe out there this weekend! #SanIsabelNationalForest #Colorado PS thanks to the dude on the summit for taking this shot of me.

Made it to the one and only and beautiful #CrestedButte this morning. This is the last place I was in #Colorado almost exactly two years ago to the week. It's good to be back.
