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?!?!). Mainly, it is a collection of humor, good days, bad days, probably some uglies, and my life in general as a sport climber and boulderer, with my ultimate goal being to become a true alpinist. And yes, boulderer is a word. So please enjoy!!!

As a consequence, my mom has been, too. She’s in Billings babysitting and I’m at her house recovering from my … Continue reading Mentholatum and Vicks

I’m dissociative today, in the proper psychological sense. Thankfully, my friend McKenzie is working at the climbing gym today and I have an … Continue reading Out of sorts
