My name is Ryan and I'm the Assistant Director of Outdoor Recreation at Georgia State University. The outdoors have been a passion of mine and I have brought it with me all around the world from the Swiss Alps to Everest Base Camp in Nepal to Pikes Peak Colorado. The outdoors and adventure has been drilled into my very character. This website started as a school project but has grown into an opportunity for me to share my knowledge for people wanting to get outside and try it without all the overwhelming stress and imaginary boundaries that gear shops and outdoor clichés suggest.
