You see – you are just so DANG good at capturing climbing with your words and pictures. I used to read this for a climbing pick-me-up, to stay excited, motivated, and learn something new to hold me over until the next time I got to climb, which was usually the next day. But now…. alas. It has been seriously since the Red when you were there since I have climbed. That’s 4 or 5 weeks! So now, I just read this post and got so sad hearing about how much fun you are having rock climbing! (don’t get me wrong, pal, so glad you are tearing it up! give ‘eh hell!) Africa’s rad over here, really, but I guess I didn’t realize how much climbing had become part of who I was.

First on my list when I get back stateside: invent a pop-up climbing gym that can fit into a backpack. One button and your backpack pops open into a fully equipped climbing gym that can go anywhere with you in the world! No problem.
