    Ninja Mountaineering in action, that's right!

    Ahoy-hoy! Welcome to my site – I’m the Last Adventurer. Yep, that’s me right next to you, staying warm, and staying alive, ninja mountaineering style. I like hiking, climbing, mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, running, camping, backpacking, long walks on the beach, and puppies, among other things. Who doesn’t love those puppies!??!

    I’ve got over twenty years of experience adventuring around (No, that does not mean I’ve been being a deadbeat for twenty years. It means that I’ve learned how to survive in every environment known to man. There’s a difference. I promise.) This site speaks for itself, and there’s a ton of content(apologies for the old content which may or may not be written well, and even more apologies for bad writing in the new content), with more being added all the time. Having said that, let’s cover the top ten things you need to know about this site and me:

     1)      A complete list of all the hiking and climbing trips can be found here: http://lastadventurer.com/hikingclimbingandotheradventur/ It’s also got some other nifty sections like races, and general adventures, and this area is constantly being updated and is indexed by location. You can also use the “Search Bar” on the right hand of the site, or scroll through the Archives if you have tons of leisure time or at work to look for a certain area.

    2)      Can’t Find What You’re Looking for? E-mail me! There’s a link on the right side – chances are I haven’t written about it yet, or can point you in the right direction.

    3)      Blog too wordy and full of nouns, adjectives, and adverbs? Follow me on Twitter , http://twitter.com/#!/last_adventurer or watch the videos at my Youtube account, http://www.youtube.com/user/lstad1.

    Yep, there's adventure everywhere.

    4)      Did you know that it’s not mountaineering until someone draws blood? True! Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/user/lstad1#p/a/u/0/A46oUlZvuvM

    5)      I grew a beard once. It was the beardpocalypse. Read about it here, or just look at the pretty ugly pictures: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-fieldnotes/2010/7/15/project-grizzly-aka-beardpocalypse-2010.html

    6)      Once, I stopped a mugging in Oxford by repelling down a wall. Read about it here: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-firering/2005/9/8/episode-vi-on-belay-for-pizza.html

    7)      I went to etiquette school, but still got slapped on a first date for doing nothing. Read about that here: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-firering/2005/9/8/episode-vi-on-belay-for-pizza.html

    8)      I pulled a tree down with nothing but a Cadillac…and my bare hands. Read about it here: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-firering/2005/11/22/episode-xvii-mr-tree-meet-mr-saw-mr-chain-saw.html, http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-firering/2005/11/28/episode-xviii-if-a-tree-should-fall.html

    9)      While running one day, I saved a baby from certain death and got nothing for my trouble. Read about that here: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-firering/2006/9/12/episode-lxviii-being-an-anti-hero-is-a-difficult-job.html

    10)   When I travel off-road, I always try to travel by Unimog. Read about that here: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-fieldnotes/2010/11/10/mogfest-october-22-24-2010.html

    11)   Anything else you need to really know? Start here: http://lastadventurer.com/last-adventurers-firering/2010/3/11/7-things-to-know-about-the-last-adventurer-1-3.html

    Other than that, see you on the trail – or in the wild. I’ll be the one smiling and laughing about whatever situation has presented itself!
