Climbing, honestly, is not the thing about which I am most passionate, but it is the thing by which I am most consumed. Another winter has crept silently in, freezing all ambition into things statuesque, objets d’art to be gazed at in wonder, the entirety of autumn one far away idea to be thawed in the […]

Though the sun shines unseasonably strong and its rays heat the air in days that are unrecognizable as November, nothing stands motionless as it would in the lethargy of summer, and a near-constant wind sweeps the city and kicks up dirt and is not powerful enough to really affect that which it touches, but instead […]

She is quite the mountain goat runner, especially going downhill. “It’s so cool to be a part of what they (La Sportiva athletes) do,” Sarah expresses “and to hear about their big mountain stories.”

Tongues out for long autumn walks in the grassiest of parks! Meet Ouija, a super sweet one-year-old Goldendoodle from Michigan who is always ready for adventure.
