First Baker climbs of the year. Love this crag, and loved introducing Brendan to it. 📷

The clouds flaunted their transcendence without a care in the world.

A distinct ring of white cloud hangs in a clear blue sky, amidst whispy clouds, above treetops.

If a flâneur is one who doesn’t do much but observe those around them, then these two are the best there ever was.

My favorite kind of page these days.

Sorry everyone vying for the cutest dog pic today, I didn’t expect him to just steal the show like that! 🥹 🐶 📷

Alright, that’s pretty good. 😆

We also have a shirt inspired by @marcoarment’s recent nostalgic foray into Palm hardware and software. If you know, you know.

Would you believe this was taken inside at Caesar’s Palace? It’s like magic!

A lavishly decorated indoor space simulates an outdoor setting with blue skies, featuring a classical fountain, Roman-style facades, and high-end shops, under artificial lighting.

My heart lives at the intersection of rock and sky.

A throwback to my crispy tiger-striped sunburn, a result of an unfortunate application of sunblock. 🐯 🥵

Equal parts prevention and welcome.

A wooden sign reads “STATE LAND BOUNDARY ENTERING HIGH PEAKS WILDERNESS” in a snowy forest setting under a clear blue sky. Additional signs request help preserving the wilderness and leash dogs.

The mountains fuel my well-being. (Gah! Can’t believe I missed yesterday. The 30-day photoblogging pin will remain out-of-reach.)

A dense, spiky cactus dominates the foreground with a rocky mountain background under a clear blue sky with contrails.

This foliage is more prickly than pretty. Which speaks to its excessive prickliness because it is still quite pretty.

I was honored to assist Mike and Jane in finishing up their Saranac Lake 6ers today with summits on Haystack & McKenzie! We were the only folks on the trail…can’t imagine why! 💨 🥾 📷

A person lies in a sleeping bag inside a tent, holding a playing card, with scattered cards on a mattress. Warm lighting indicates it might be evening or dawn.

A deck of cards is required gear for any backpacking trip. (circa March 2014 😳)

Took advantage of stellar weather last week to climb at The Gunks! I was very fortunate to meet some new friends willing to take on an orphan climber into their gang. Got on a bunch of new climbs and shook off the rust. Ended the day with delicious pho. 10/10 would recommend. 🧗📷

A person is climbing a rugged rock face outdoors with trees above and a rope trailing below. A winding road cuts through a forested landscape, with distant mountains under a blue sky; pine branches frame the view from a high vantage point. A smiling person wearing a helmet and backpack is rock climbing amidst trees and boulders. A rock climber ascends a steep cliff face with trees at the top edge, casting shadows on the rocky surface. A group of people is dining together, smiling, and posing in a restaurant with exposed brick walls and artwork. The table has remnants of a meal with some beverages.
