It’d be pretty sweet if this worked.

Manton Reece: ‘Quotes and notes on the case for blogging’

The call to action is clear. Get a domain name and start writing. Short posts, long posts. It’s okay if you haven’t figured everything out yet. With time it’ll all come together.

Finished reading: Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe 📚

So…I liked most of the characters, some of the time. Frustrated by many choices they made, but nobody’s perfect. I unexpectedly came away with much more empathy and respect for OnlyFans work. I’m cautiously optimistic for the upcoming show.

Gnarly day up on Mt. Colden with Todd for his 40th/46 winter high peak! We were the first at the trailhead, so we had the pleasure of breaking trail through knee deep snow all the way way to the summit. Still, it was a stunning day in the mountains, and with careful precautions, the dropping wind chill was manageable. Only 6 left!

Huge day yesterday! Pre-dawn uphill ski at Whiteface with Sarah and Dan, followed by super fun climbing on Multi Gully with Lizzo. One of my favorite ADK multipitch ice routes! Rounded out the evening with a bunch of hours with the rad crew of @adkclimb.club on Poke-O-Moonshine’s steep and long Waterfall routes. What a privilege to be outside all day doing cool things with cool people. 😁

I plugged in my GoPro from 2014 today, intending to start using it again for some helmet cam footage. I managed to update the firmware despite it no longer being supported, but the date selector still only goes to 2025… LOL I guess they didn’t expect someone to keep using it for over 10 years!

Preparation for climbing a winter high peak begins long before reaching the trailhead! We see our guests as teammates, and each of us should be well-versed on what to expect out in the mountains. It gives our team a higher chance for a successful summit! Thanks for being a great teammate, Julie! 🙌

Jarrod is an excellent guide. Even before the hike he gave me valuable advice on the necessary equipment and the route. He regularly updated me on the weather forecast. On the day of the hike he handled the navigation and was very proactive. He is also very patient. I highly recommend him.

Incredible ski day! ⛷️ I had the pleasure of joining @jmhaas73 and team for very productive ski guide training on the Angel Slides, and then @highpeaksskiup for a true gem of a Nordic ski back on the home turf. The snow was so good!!

A wild day up in the High Peaks! Todd nabbed his 38th and 39th winter summits on Gothics and Saddleback. You really can’t overstate how different those two peaks are. Gothics was steep, exposed, and mega windy — almost blew out packs off the mountain! We opted for a roped descent through the steepest and iciest bit. Saddleback was a cakewalk with consistent slope and powdery snow by comparison! But Todd did awesome. Every ascent is unique!

Neurosis (WI4-) with Shane today. What a route! P1 was thin and hollow for the first third, but got progressively better. P2 & P3 were generally fat and happy. P4 was steep and hard. So good!

Nick Heer: ‘A Lament for Aperture, the App We’ll Never Get Over Losing’

Times change, though, and it seems like Apple has lost the soul of what made Aperture excellent. It should really figure out what that is. Questionable user interfaces, mediocre icon design, tolerance for lagginess and bugs — these are all bad things, but they are symptoms of a greater loss.

Another fine day spent in the mountains assisting someone on their winter 46er journey. Today, Julie and I tackled Seward Mountain after we turned around on it last week. This time, we enjoyed bluebird skies, bright sun, fresh snow, and single-digit temps In other words, a winter wonderland! We got it done in under 11 hours, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute, including pushing through all those thick branches and deep snow up top! 😁

Some shots from @adkclimb.club at Pitchoff Quarry last night. This little community is the best and brings out so much stoke! Groups made the treks from Plattsburgh and Burlington VT 🤯 and we were out sending till 11pm. 🤞 We’ll be closer to home at Poke-O next week for them.

Three Flows gifted us many pitches of hero ice yesterday! @9_9_mph and I managed to climb all three main lines. Come with me on lead up the right WI4 flow!

Enjoyed one of my best days of ice climbing yesterday, with great fun and proud leads at Buster, Three Flows, and Pitchoff Quarry. This sport rules.

Tom couldn’t stay out of the high peaks for long! Though he completed his 46ers in November, he returned for a second chance at the Phelps’ summit view. We managed only to see the inside of (moody) clouds again, but still had a great time catching up and getting him acquainted with snowshoe travel. 😁

Today was a standout day for ice climbing—thanks so much to Ryan for being game! We linked up Crystal Ice Tower with White Line Fever, which went from mega fat to mega thin. Rock gear saved the day on P3! Then headed to Tahawas for three more pitches of glory high above Chapel Pond.

Another stellar, speedy day in the mountains. Big Slide took big energy on the way up, was big beautiful, and big fun and fast on the way down. Car to car in about 5 hours.

A big day guiding in the mountains helping Todd attain his 34th-36th winter high peaks. We had all 13 miles of the trail to ourselves, adding to the backcountry experience. These peaks never come easy, but they’re always worthwhile! Back at it tomorrow for no. 37…

Another stellar day climbing frozen water with clients and friends. This time in the sun for the first day this season! ☀️ Pitchoff Left was chandeliered but pretty good, getting mushy by midafternoon. Hot Shot and Ice Slot in the Canyon were wet and wonderful. Today marked 50 pitches this season for me. 🙌

And check out that wild fog flowing over Chapel Pond! 🤯
