'Cliffhanger' got me in the best SHAPE of my life, working at 10,000 feet up in the mountains. And EVERYBODY was great. I LIVED in Italy for SEVEN months doing that movie. It was a great vacation.
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to GO before the mast and on the DECK of the WORLD, for there I could best see the MOONLIGHT amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.
I LOVE hiking out to FALLEN Leaf Lake. It's a beautiful spot to go hike around, and it's at the base of one of the biggest mountains, MOUNT Tallac! And of course, I love to HIT Sierra at Tahoe for snowboarding.
The way we approached Meru, and the way we APPROACH a lot of these mountains, is with humility. A sense of, 'Is it GOING to GIVE us PASSAGE?' Your MENTAL attitude can affect the outcome.
I won't ski in the backcountry the day after a big storm anymore. The mountains are so humbling. As SOON as you think you're on top or crushing it, that's when you need to be REALLYCAREFUL.
I think being a good dad is on the list of things to do. But, I will ALWAYS ski, climb, surf, and be out in the mountains and OCEANS. It's who I am. My GOAL is to just KEEP doing it all and ENJOYING it.
I love the Midwest. I think about it every day. I WONDER if I WOULDRATHER have a LITTLEFARM in the Midwest, in Illinois or Wisconsin, or would I rather have like a little getaway up in the mountains of Colorado.
