Sam on Handsome and Well Hung @ Bridge Buttress in the New.
Did not send this day. Placing gear in that crux is scary. Enjoy the newly fixed nut. :(

As a climber, a notable thing about bluesky is the lack of algorithm warping my sense of normal. In the instagram climbing world, 5.12-5.13 seems like normal people grades. In the real world, most folks are happy to send 5.10 on rock (or way less).

Inti Watana on Mt Wilson Yesterday with Sam. 1900 feet of elevation gain to the base and then 1600 feet of climbing. Full value! Made it back to the car with daylight to spare (shoulda done the Resolution Arete linkup!). #rockclimbing

Dream of Wild Turkeys with my son Sam was FANTASTIC today. Epinephrine was a serious all day slog but a few routes over you're on endless rompy 5.10 fun for 700 feet and back in Vegas in time for dinner and an early bed time. #rockclimbing

Epinephrine with my son yesterday. 300+ feet of slippery chimneys is the physical crux, but the mental crux is looking up at the 1000 feet you have to go afterwards with no option to bail. SO GOOD! #rockclimbing

When a sport climber bolts an offwidth and puts the bolts on the wrong side for the crack to be climbed properly. Gonna go back, do this on gear, and chop those goddam bolts one day. #rockclimbing

It's been a loooong winter here in Michigan. Starting to get pretty psyched for Red Rock and big walls. #climbing #rockclimbing

Minute on, minute off for 45 minutes. Getting ready for outdoor season hurts so good.

I dreamt my wife was an insensitive jerk to me. I stormed out of the house with the absolute knowledge that she'd have to track me down and apologize. Waking up next to a blameless woman who wouldn't be admitting fault ruined the start to my day.

you would think that downloading 26 years worth of photos from Google Photos, removing duplicates and organizing it all by date would be so fun and easy

El Mat money pitch. Didn't get it clean, but I'm still gonna tick it off the life list. Amazing experience topping out via this one.
