Conversation and nature… doesn’t get much better. Wow, what a convenient place to drop an entire tree…

Instaspam
I had the foresight to expect Instaspam to turn into just another lousy social media stream selling me to their advertisers. So I kept all my photography here as well.
This to this
Put this together yesterday. Incredibly gorgeous morning to be moving… aka rapping my head on the bars first thing in the morning :P
ɕ
Jeep!
In other news… actually went off-roading today. Pennsylvania shale and mud; smells like home :D
ɕ
QM in the real world
Three foot crawl space. Yeup, Craig is detail oriented and checks everywhere. First use of sideways monkey when it was literally the best form of locomotion :)
ɕ
A house!
Had the first walk thru today…
ɕ
Lower Manhattan
Couple of shots from the Brooklyn ferry leaving Govenor’s Island last weekend during the Art of Retreat event #artofretreat2016
ɕ
Dessert
The waiter here delivered the most inconceivably amazing dessert descriptions in the history of culinary overindulgence. Pears, Tiramisu, Cheesecake… somewhere on the upper east side of Manhattan. yowza! (Coversation and company was *nearly* as good. ;)
ɕ
Sunset
It’s not an ending… it’s a new beginning.
ɕ
Birds’ Nest
Great bit of play at the end of day one.
ɕ
Adult Life
Where’s the Puffin today? …en route to Govenor’s Island for first full day of Art of Retreat.
ɕ
The hallway of inspiration
“Oceans destroy cities!” Also in the hallway, “Your butt looks good in that outfit.” Why thank you! :)
ɕ
Doing stuff
Guggenheim. Just a quick peek in the lobby :)
ɕ
NYC
A b-e-a-utiful day in THE city!
ɕ
Yes!
What do you at 1am when you’re on the way to the airport for a 6am flight?? …got off the highway at the airport exit and BAM!!
ɕ
Third route
Once we had our top rope up, we spent the rest of our daylight here. Staright up, dihedral with a 5.8 finger jam crack. Paste your feet on the right and bury your hands… four attempts, but I couldn’t quite pull this one off.
ɕ
…then
Straight up the middle of this. Blank and mossy until you get to this unique feature mid-face.
ɕ
Second route
Then we moved a bit left on that same wall. This was crazy hard to make the first move to get up onto the wall.
ɕ
Straight up
This wall was just a few degrees from vertical. Standing on tiny features like edge of a nickel. The upper lip is about 200 feet, and roofed out at least forty feet. Route started with this sheer, wet, mossy wall with a fist-jam crack (insert entire hand, make fist so it can’t come out and the walk up the wall :) Spent all day climbing all over this wall, and then one other route.
ɕ
Gorge-ous!
Rained all night and all morning… finally cleared up and now this terrible drive thru some lousy national forest or something… #whereAreTheRocks !
ɕ
First up
Cook breakfast and get ready for day two!
