Working moves on Roaches tonight. Devilishly tricky crux, and the top out remains thoughtful. 🧗 📷

Guides’ day off with @andrew_jarvis05 at Poke-O-Moonshine. We snagged a couple of fun onsights in perfect weather (The Sting, 5.8+ for me). Thanks for showing me around, can’t wait to go back! 📷

Having a front row seat to @gruber@mastodon.social’s live The Talk Show with the Theater app on Vision Pro is pretty fantastic. After just a few minutes, it’s easy to forget that I’m across the country on my couch. It’s very cool!

I hardly ever do titled posts on Micro.blog, so I find myself befuddled on how to add a title to a post that’s fewer than 300 characters long. I surely don’t need to add filler text just to reveal the title field (and then delete the filler), right? cc: @manton

Got a nice hike/run in to clear my head and scout out a new (to me) trail. Super fun route up and over the Pitchoff Ridge and then up Cascade Pass. 🥾 📷

A digital map showing a highlighted hiking trail (in red) through green terrain, marked with a blue location tag labeled “Cascade Falls,” near a road labeled “State Hwy 73." A panoramic view from a mountain summit showing evergreen trees in the foreground, rolling hills in the mid-ground, and a dramatic cloudy sky above. A large, precariously balanced boulder stands among trees, resembling a giant stone pedestal in a forested setting. A vantage point atop a rocky hill overlooks a lush, green valley with a river winding through it, framed by steep forested slopes.

When I think of my hometown it’s this image of the local theater along our red brick Main Street that comes to mind. (Image credit: Billy Strings)

Neon-lit theater marquee at night reads “IONIA THEATRE” with “WELCOME HOME BILLY STRINGS” on a lower sign, flanked by street lights and a pedestrian sidewalk.
