ECR Ramblins
Monday Yoga (Flow) Good times, feeling almost 1% competent! Bouldering @ Movement: 1hr Good session, after a few lackluster sessions on the blocks.

If you’re interested in running Nolan’s 14, one of the best way to preview the line is to fastpack it! You’ll get a taste of what it’s like to link up big parts of the route, without having to backtrack, and the load makes for good training. Episode 3 starts off on the summit of […] Read More

Green Mountain Musings: realizations after my year of 100 summits

Thanks, Feet.
Green Mountain at elevation 8,148′, is one of the most accessible hills near my home in Boulder, Colorado. The summit sulks in the background of many photos of the more famous Flatirons, taken by visitors of the The Colorado Chautauqua at its base. For such a small geographic area – it’s literally just a city […] Read More

Longs Peak from Green Mountain
Monday Rest! Tuesday Yoga, 1hr An intention of mine is to gain, then maintain a reasonable amount of mobility in my hips and legs. Right now, it’s a junk show. These classes are helping. Bouldering @ Movement, 2hr Good session – first 2hr session in a few weeks, due to some tennis elbow that seems […] Read More
