A year ago I started a blog to avoid sending mass emails to update my family as I climbed in Squamish BC. Two weeks ago I returned from another trip to Squamish during which I realized just how much I missed the process of writing and documenting. Years ago I went down to swing my feet free on the moderate overhangs of the Shawangunks in New York. I didn't take a single picture. Every now and then I am reminded of some event or circumstance from that trip and a rush of memories flood back, but I can tell that the memories are fading and will continue to do so. Hindsight eh?
The whole point of this little corner of the interweb is more personal than it is communal. It helps me remember good climbs, good people, and especially good moments. Climbing continues to be the medium through which I experience uncommonly tangible moments of growth in both the narrow scope of my climbing and the overarching realms of perspective and personality.
This blog is a way for me to track that change, remember those moments, and become inspired to do it all again. Thank you for reading.
