Dylan and Balin Miller, born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, discovered their passion for climbing as young boys after their father introduced them to the sport in Hatcher Pass, Palmer, Alaska. During their teenage years, they spent every free moment planning new climbs, backcountry skiing, and hiking long trails to reach untouched rock faces.

Their adventures have taken them across Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, the Sierra Nevada, Canadian Rockies, South America and France. At just 19, Baylin chartered a plane into the Alaska Range to summit Mount Huntington. By May 2024, at age 22, he ventured up the West Buttress of Denali. Later that year, in November, Baylin achieved the incredible feat of summiting Cerro Torre in Patagonia, widely regarded by experienced climbers as one of the most technically challenging peaks.

Dylan shares his brother’s passion for climbing and endurance sports. He has completed 12 Mount Marathons races in Seward, Alaska, and participated in numerous ultramarathons and adventure runs across the Rockies. In the summer of 2024, Dylan dedicated his time to climbing in Yosemite and the Rockies. When not working as a nurse, he can be found exploring the trails and cliffs around Bozeman, Montana.

Their younger sister, Mia, is also a rising athlete, inspired by her brothers’ adventures. She has completed three Junior Mount Marathon races in Seward, Alaska, and is passionate about both running, climbing and kayaking.

The stunning photography featured in our business was born from many years of climbing, running, and outdoor adventures. Each image is captured by Dylan, Baylin, or myself, with occasional contributions from friends. These photographs, artistically modified but grounded in authenticity, reflect the beauty and intensity of the outdoors.
