Blake Herrington started exploring mountains as a teenager, and was soon skipping college classes to establish new alpine routes of his own. His climbing experiences have taken him from New Zealand to Patagonia, and Thailand to Alaska, but his favorite area for climbing is the Cascade Range. His articles have been published by Alpinist and Climbing magazines, and Blake can usually be found engaging in all manner of general dirtbaggery at campgrounds and climbing areas across the American West.
