the Goal
To be the first people to climb all of the routes made famous by a book published in 1979,
Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.
No married couple has attempted such an endeavor to climb over 164,000 vertical feet of technical terrain on a road trip that will cover over 25,000 miles.
Along the way HD footage will be captured and shared through this website via short videos that will portray the experiences of Janelle and Mark Smiley during their climb. This footage will intertwine extraordinary mountain settings with these two climbers’ commitment to pursue their passions.
