So, I was able to scrape by two weeks of travel time for this month of
May. It was a hard decision because I wanted to go to
Yosemite Valley, but they’re getting WORKED by the weather gods
this season, and still even this week they’re getting lots of
snow, seems like everything is wet. [...]

- It seems spring time is the busiest time of year for me, not sure why
exactly, maybe it’s the long days, but my life has been crazy as
of late, with travel, guiding, paying bills and climbing new
rocks. Did a new V11 today, felt good, but most importantly
I’m working on a new [...]
Ha – Okay – So, about three weeks ago, I began a search for
my next road warrior wagon. I thought about all the options and
decided on a minivan again, I know they’re super DORK, but
seriously for gas mileage and comfort, yadda yadda yadda, nothing beats
a japanese minivan. I wrote about my [...]
What fun we had. Thanks to everyone at Ohio State and in Chicago
at the patagonia store for having me and for coming out to the slide
shows, I had the best time, y’all were spectacular and we tore the
roof off at the afterparty didn’t we? I hope to see you all
out there [...]

It’s so sunny it’s so beautiful and I have not much more to
say, so many happy climbers, so many happy friendly faces. PEACE.
WTF? I go away for a couple of weeks and come home to a flurry of
internet buzz, ‘First Round, First Minute’ 5.15a?
“CLOSED” only for Nalle? C’mon? This is
obviously a scenario that’s been blown way out of proportion and
since every person and their mothers mother has weighed in their
opinion, AND I’m stuck [...]
OH YAH, back home again, chill’n like a villain, for the whole
day, well, most of it anyway. It’s been a couple of weeks
since my last post, sorry ’bout that, but it’s been hard to
log on lately. Thank god. The internet is a life sucking
(sometimes useful and usually entertaining tool) but if [...]
Going to Sin City tomorrow, then who knows where….
“GONE FISHING” If yesterday wasn’t THE MOST beautiful
day in Squamish history, I don’t know what was. Today is
looking to be about the same and tomorrow too. I’ll admit, I
have shit to do, essays to write, photo’s to tweak, taxes to file,
bills to pay, video’s to edit but I just can’t do it. [...]
Thanks for all the feedback everyone, it’s much appreciated.
I’ve gotten some great emails as well, and honestly, it’s
not an easy choice to make, the odds that anything will happen are
probably tiny, but the odds that if something did happen it will end in
violence, are significant. So lets change the mood here [...]
