The Climbing Life

I have spent most of my adult life trying to understand this fantastically complex universe we call reality.

Χάος | Kόσμος How fortunate we are, to sit on the shores of eternity, and gaze into oblivion.

Spent the day preparing for the spring semester the only way I know how. // P.C. @dannyhenkel // #climbing #aacgram #liveclimbrepeat #fayettechill #gearheadoutfitters // (at Lincoln Lake)

After five beautiful days in Ouray, CO its time to head back home. The @urecoutdoors Ice Climbing trip has been a success by all accounts. Can't wait to see what the rest of 2016 brings. // P.C. @reitemeier // #climbing #ourayicepark #urecoutdoors #fayettechill #gearheadoutfitters (at Ouray, Colorado)

Over and over again I realize how much I find peace within myself while playing in the mountains. Today was no exception. With new friends and old we found ourselves lost in the beauty of the Alpine. The solace, the snow, the challenge. This year I vow to spend more time in the mountains than ever before. // Thanks @thombomb for snagging this pic of me while Nordic skiing through an abandoned mining town outside of Ouray, CO. // #fayettechill #journeyman #GOFORIT (at Ouray, Colorado)

On our first full day in Potrero Chico we followed the center most streak 2200' to the top. The summit Gendarme can be seen through the mist. The crux pitch is an airy 5.10d about 700 feet up the climb. // Space Boyz 2,200', 5.10+. // #climbing #aacgram #itsGOtime #fayettechill #urecoutdoors // (at Potrero Chico)

Approaching the valley between the walls of El Potrero Chico. These nearly three thousand foot bolted walls are only a fifteen minute walk from the campground // #climbing #liveclimbrepeat #throwbackthursday #tbt #adventure (at Potrero Chico)

Tecate. It's Mexican for beer. #climbing #beer #restdays (at Potrero Chico)

Look closely. For there are mountains inside that each of us must conquer. // #climbing #adventure #fayettechill #itsGOtime #liveclimbrepeat #aacgram (at Potrero Chico)

These days its not so important where you go, just that you are going. Always moving. Always changing. Growing, loving, learning. // #climbing #mexico #adventure #chillspot #itsGOtime #liveclimbrepeat (at Fayetteville, Arkansas)

The Mountain This morning I woke up with excitement. In a moments time I travel back to the mountains.

@bucktown_sweetback taking advantage of this ultimate #chillspot within Rock Creek's infamous "Tomb". If you haven't had the chance to experience the cryptic sequences and all around " badassness" of this wall I highly recommend it. // Check out Fayettechill's newest blog post to get psyched on Arkansas rock, watch a sweet video, and prepare for footage of this awesome area. // P.C. @dannyhenkel #climbAR #fayettechill #climbing #adventure #aacgram #liveclimbrepeat (at Fayettechill Clothing Company)
