Crowd Control

We’ve come to hate the holidays and the crowds that come along with them, getting in the way of our comfort and our climbing.

Ludwig Van

We keep getting requests for a tour of our van and the process that went into it. So here is a photo tour of the process and a video tour of the current state.

First Bite

We reached the Red River Gorge – home to some of the best sport climbing in the United States, as well as a large tick population. I am now an expert at removing ticks.

Trash Pick-up

Tennessee greeted us with another law enforcement encounter, excessive humidity, and a great deal of trash.

Natural Rejection

Nature came out in full force during our stay in Southern Illinois, subjecting us to fallen trees, bats, leeches, spiders, and more.

Cost Analysis

Some more downtime in Madison allowed us to analyze our expenses, while shooting, visiting farms, and more.

An Extended Detour

What was meant to be a weekend jaunt to Minnesota turned into a week-long adventure with great climbing, good company, and a near accident.

Point of Origin

We’ve spent the last week+ in Madison remembering what it’s like to have space to move around in and a TV.

Small Town Wonders

We stopped to visit John’s family in South Dakota, where the local festival surpassed all my small town stereotypes

Mountains and Missiles

We headed into South Dakota where we climbed around Mount Rushmore and visited a minuteman missile control site.
