“Hardship is inevitable, so put your goggles on and face into the wind.”
– Tommy Caldwell

When we were pregnant with Maylin we knew that we wanted to teach  her all about the outdoors and help her see how important time spent in the backcountry is. Inspired by the goal set by the Iron Cowboy, James Lawrence, we wanted to do something as a family that pushed our limits. 
Our goal is to summit as many of the 11,000 foot peaks in the Wasatch Mountains with Maylin before she turns one in October 2016. There are over 30 peaks, but we will strive to summit at least 20. 
Safety is the big key here. We will never put Maylin in any danger based on altitude, or inherent risks. 

As Tommy Caldwell said, put on your goggles and face into the wind and try hard things!
