Matt, Maren, Bryden and Gavin's homepage

Welcome! Like so many pages out there, this is a page to keep our relatives and friends up to date on what we've been doing, and how Bryden and Gavin have been growing. It's a chance to share some family pictures (February, the rest of March and April is finally online 11/05/07) and stories with the people we don't get to see in person as often as we'd like, and an opportunity to post some information about some of the various climbs, hikes, and other adventures we've done.

If you're visiting this site because of a trip report I've posted here, and you'd like more info, feel free to email me - I love to talk about our trips, and I'd be happy to provide you with any route details, or recommendations I can remember!
