I woke up in Leadville this morning; I’m now sitting at the airport in Denver coming down from a binge of alpine starts and full days. The San Juans are a special place that keeps pulling me back. My fingertips are split from the cold, dry air. I'm sunburned and my lips are cracked, yet there are few places that feed my soul like these mountains.⁣ ⁣ We climbed in blowing snow, negative temps and that sweet, sweet Colorado sunshine. There's no other place in the world like the ice park and the community that makes it real. ⁣ ⁣ Going home to my girls with dull crampons, a bag full of stoke and great memories. Until next time.

I once listened to an interview with Neil Young in which he lamented the digitization of music. It’s the compression algorithms. Man.⁣ ⁣ I was recently gifted a Canon AT-1 35mm film camera. Fully... manual. Fully... 80’s, like I remember pictures. I replaced all the light seals and meticulously cleaned the lenses. 36 shots and I didn’t know if any would come out. Here are some of my favorites from the last few weeks.⁣ ⁣ The opposite of insta, unhasty. Thanks mom 🙏. ⁣ ⁣ #35mmfilm

Hooray for Ouray! ⁣ ⁣ I’ve found the best way to commit to a trip is to buy a plane ticket. ⁣ ⁣ Last year I connected with some off-duty guides from Aspen and Telluride on Mountain Project and we pulled down in the park for 2 days.⁣ ⁣ I’ll be climbing in Ouray Jan 16-19, meeting up with my East Coast crew.⁣

95 North out of Winnemucca, NV should be called “Bunny Death Highway”. I stopped counting bunny roadkill. Saw a coyote waiting at the side of road for cars to pass so he could get some bunny breakfast. It’s a whole ecosystem.⁣ ⁣ North from Winnemucca into Oregon, then East around Steens Mountain (sketchy!) and into Burns. -2 degrees just before sun hit. Over to Bend, then home to Portland.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been through every cow town from Tempe, AZ to Terrebonne, OR. ⁣ ⁣ “Crossed the desert’s bare man, I’ve breathed the mountain air man. I’ve travelled I’ve had my share man, I’ve been everywhere.” J. Cash.
