Phoenix put on quite the show today with a massive dust storm. We were fortunate enough to time the drive perfectly to drive at it and away for some dramatic shots.

We finally took the time to drive through the Apache Trail since it's reopening. Couldn't have asked for a better day!

I decided to pick up Disco Elysium again. Other detail: I've been fighting some sort of cold.

Result: My sleep was loaded with a series of dreams about rambling philosophical discussion. Great way to wake up annoyed.

Welcome to the next phase.

Good to have a climbing session after a six week recovery. It's amazing how much endurance you lose!

The great thing about this time of year is finding hummingbirds nesting in my backyard. This nest is so tiny yet somehow there are usually about two baby birds inside.

Nature is neat!

I was all excited to post some cool stuff about new climbs or boulder sends on here, but two weeks ago, I ended up injurying my shoulder.

Bad news, I'm grounded for four more weeks. Good news, I'm not in need of surgery as it seems.

A lesser man would have had a dislocated shoulder. Not bad!

Ropes have this special ability of revealing some great views that would be difficult to see otherwise.

I finally extracted this super satisfying rope bag drop at the end of a #canyonering rappel. Why does a 180 foot splat sound so good?!

Some of the fun of living in the southwest is the opportunity to hunt for scorpions at night. Isn't nature neat?

Throw back to a #bouldering throw in a very fun Oak Flat climb, Flake Orgasm V3. #saveoakflat

A few weeks back, I joined in with some canyoneering friends to do a run on Boyton Island East in Sedona. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from climbing to do some downward exploring.
