Timebinder – The Prow, Blodgett Canyon

Apr 27th 2013 — Blodgett Canyon,Climbing,Montana — 12:16 am

Went up a big rock yesterday with Conor. The day ended up being much colder than we anticipated due to a constant 40mph (or so) wind.

I discovered that a camera of mine I thought was broken works as long as I don’t use the zoom.

Warning: the following captions contain some climbing jargon that can be hard to decipher if you aren’t familiar with climbing-specific vocabulary.

Indian Creek

Apr 11th 2013 — Climbing,Indian Creek,Utah — 9:39 am

I met up with my man Busy S. in Moab and we road bikes out Potlatch road and drove down to the creek that evening. The next day we road to the Needles of Canyonlands surrounded by warmth and sunshine. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures.

Busy left to go back to Denver and for the next 3 days we climbed at Cat Wall, Donnelley Canyon, and 1st Meat Wall.

Spring

Apr 7th 2013 — Montana — 10:33 am

Recently I was lucky enough to spend some time in the desert of Utah with an ever-changing group of lovely people.

Here is a quote from the introduction of Marcus Aureluis’ ‘Meditations’, a book my mother sent me before I left.

Lead me, Zeus and Destiny, withersoever I am appointed to go. I will follow without wavering; even though I turn coward and shrink, I shall have to follow all the same.

-Epictetus

Here are a few pictures from the drive down.

Prodigal Farm

Jan 13th 2013 — North Carolina — 11:28 am

Pictures from a brief trip with my friend Abigail to the goatcentric farm she worked on outside Durham, NC.

Experiencing farm life up close, in its many forms, made me more aware that food does not come from a grocery store, it comes from a farm.

Ice Climbing

Find sharp things to bash stuff with because it is time for some ice climbing. Big ups to Cole Lawrence for enabling me to participate in this activity for the first time ever.
