I love to share photos with instagram and write this blog, but other than that I try to minimized my … More Sometimes Being Bored is an Amazing Sign
I’ve been gone from the United States for exactly two weeks and sitting where I am right now it might as well have been two years. It’s not just that I’ve been caught up in the excitement of new and foreign lands. It’s also not because I ended up having an unplanned, extra long layover … More The Travel Timewarp Phenomonon

Boulder was cold and cloudy when she first arrived, which was so … More Going on ANOTHER Road Trip

So, there is a faction of new-aged counter culture … More Getting Festy
That first day I was planning on doing a few easy climbs, just get back into the swing of things, remember how to tie my knots and be safe, etc. … More El Potrero Chico Part 1: It’s Been a While
Sloths. Perezosos. Lazy One. Sloths get kind of a bad rep about being slow. But, I know one member of the Ramrod Team that emulates sloths in her climbing technique. It is true that climbing slowly is harder than climbing quickly, but (depending on the climbing circles of which you are a part) climbing quickly … More ALERT ALERT: CAN OFFICIALLY CONFIRM THAT SLOTHS ARE MASTER CLIMBERS
Please pardon my missing a post last week, I had just returned from Central America to the United States and there were many transitions to be made all at once.
