Here’s the June update for big Wade’s XL Adventure!
Social Shenanigans
First! If reading email updates isn’t your thing, we have a solution.
Today marks the launch of @bigwadesxladventure on the Instagram. I’ve built up some archive content and will post on the regular to keep people up-to-date in ideally a non-obnoxious way.
I have needs! :) I have exactly zero followers at the time of writing this, so please consider following AND sharing with your peeps. It takes a funky village to raise $40K and to meet all these goals, and I need to spread the good word. Thanks for your help!
Here’s more updates on dem goals o’ mine.
Current State (of goals)
Hike 400 Miles of the Colorado Trail
This goal kicked off on June 9! I’ve completed segments 2 and 3 (23.7 miles total) with only 376.3 miles to go. The rest of my life this summer will be spent on the CO Trail every moment I can fit it in. Join up, please!
You can read more about my planned schedule on the Events page and you can read up on the CO Trail segments too. If you see a planned hike, or an open weekend with no hike where you'd like to join, just say the word.
I really truly need a lot of help with this goal. Pretty please. I’m looking for pals to serve as shuttle drivers (dropping my off or picking me up at various trailheads), hiking buddies and moral support. I can’t do it without you. For those who join, I promise great conversation, delectable snacks and stinky armpits. Contact me if you’re game to be part of the CO Trail adventure.
Raise $40K for the Adaptive Climbers Festival
I’m plugging along on this goal, but also have a long way to go!
We’ve raised an incredible $12,555 and still aim to raise $27,445 to hit the mark and be able to serve even more climbers with disabilities at the Adaptive Climbers Festival.
Thanks to all the beautiful donors so far. I love you and think you smell really nice, too.
I’m seeking friends, family and strangers who would be willing to support the Adaptive Climbers Festival. I also need help spreading the word about ACF and these XL goals this year. Please consider sharing this email, my XL goals page, or Instagram with some people in your world who may want to give. It would mean a lot!

Climb 40 Pitches
I’m 6 pitches in to this goal and have taken a breather for it for the moment to focus on the Colorado Trail. At some point soon, I’ll start working at it again!
Want to climb with me sometime? Just let me know!
Ongoing Goals!
Involve 40+ Friends in the Shenanigans
Thanks to the super kind people who keep raising their hand to help. It means everything, and I would 100% not be to this point without you. Merci beaucoup!
Complete 40 Hours of Acupuncture & Therapy
These are my most revered recovery tools in the toolbox.
Both therapy and acupuncture help me find balance, breathe and set intentions.
Thanks to Steve for navigating me through my brain maze and thanks to Shawn for the restoration.
