End of Summer Updates

Snapshot from driving out of Black Velvet Canyon in a big storm.

Happy traveling to everyone out there! I'm back in Vegas again after spending the summer exploring Wyoming, Colorado and Utah.  Now the adventure continues back in Red Rocks.  So far it's been a lot of exploring, some shady climbing, and completing Epinephrine 5.9 IV all the way to the top!  Lots of exciting cracks have also been spotted through the binoculars but perhaps they're just mirages.  The van has been taken on an official Safari though Black Velvet Canyon and survived the storm, river, and road.  That was intense! But on another note, here are some recent media tidbits that I contributed to.  Keep an eye out for this stuff!
