This site is a lot of things. It’s therapy. It’s a passion for bouldering and rock climbing. It’s a beginner’s path to enlightenment (or the light at the end of the tunnel…wait…is that a train?!?!).

And yes, boulderer is a word. So please enjoy!!!

Yes, he has survived … Continue reading Lots going on
