About the Big Wall Nuts

In 2007 we took a six-week cross-country road trip that included two weeks in Boulder, Colorado. To send virtual postcards to our family and friends back on the east coast, we started this blog. At the time, we were very enthusiastic about climbing and we lived on Walnut Street, so the name "Big Wall Nuts" had multiple meaning.

We are still enthusiastic about climbing, but we have not climbed any big walls. Since moving to Boulder in 2008, we have become even more excited about the outdoors:

• Hiking (including climbing 14ers, backpacking, CMC trips)
• Biking
• Running (especially trail running!)
• Winter sports (skiing, snowshoeing, winter mountaineering)
• Visiting the great wilderness in our backyard:
  
  • Boulder
  • Indian Peaks Wilderness and Arapaho/Roosevelt National Forest
  • Rocky Mountain National Park
