In: Project 24, Running

Project 24 is complete! To be honest, I didn’t see myself traversing any ridges or mountain peaks after my mom’s unexpected death in March. It just threw my whole world in a tailspin. Grief is funny like that. But all is good, and I found myself chasing down the 24

Grotto Mountain: I came for the climb, I stayed for the ridge

There’s nothing like standing on a ridge and looking back at the switchbacks and scree that brought me here. After too many flat-ish trail days, my body has been craving some serious vert. I set my sights on Grotto Mountain. Two years ago, Grotto Mountain was my first climb of

  • Prim Point Lighthouse

    Did you know Nova Scotia is home to the largest number of lighthouses of any province in Canada?
