Anyone else tired of these Bozos?
Will we forever fight the same battles? When will we realize that extraction is not the only path to economic gain?
@carlzoch, Ethan Boehme and I made this short nearly tens years ago about a landscape and a history as a provocation of choice.
I don’t know what the outcome to
this decision about Bears Ears and Escalante will be, but the current choice 💔

@kurt.refsnider is on day 60 or so of his exploratory tour of the Orogenesis route- touted as the longest mountain bike trail in the world, which stretches 5,029 miles from British Columbia to the tip of Baja. He’ll be the first to complete it in its entirety upon arrival in Cabo towards the end of autumn.
Some facts about Kurt-
•He is a PHD geologist who studies glaciology, he may unexpectedly stop at any moment to observe a moraine or random rock
• His calm demeanor might lead you to believe he listens to nothing other than Beethoven or Mozart, but in fact he basically only listens to Metal
• He also happens to be one of the foremost long distance mountain cycle riders. Having speedily traveled across mountain ranges and continents alike
• He is taken. Sorry ladies
I was so lucky to strap on a set of bags to my bike and spend a couple of days chasing him through my favorite mountain range.

Talus Camp- Big Horn Mtns Wyoming. August 25.
If we werent sitting in it (talus), we were sleeping in it. If we weren’t sleeping in it we were eating in it. If we weren’t eating in it we were likely walking on it. If the weather lined up, we climbed on the mothership. A couple weeks in the vertical with some good people accompanied by lots of laughs.

Desert Musings
Where there is water, you find life. Something like 85% of vertebrates use these riparian corridors for survival in the desert southwest. Over five sun drenched days, with scorched skin, chapped lips while covered head to toe in the finest of red dirt, I traversed over pass and through red canyon traveling through 3 National monuments and 2 National parks, nearly all by dirt. It’s said that home is where the heart is, this place induces flutters and arrhythmia like few other places for me.
An old friend flys over, a guttural croak and the sound of wind passing between feathers reminds me that I have arrived. Past the guardian Cottonwood, which holds an entire ecosystem in its roots, trunk, limbs and leaves; a keystone species I continue down canyon looking for shade. As the hot sun finally starts to fade, a welcomed coolness creeps in. Others arrive- yellow and wilson’s warblers, yellow breasted chat and if you listen closely- there’s the unmistakeable sound of a towhee digging amongst last years leaves and this years detritus. Finally at the very end of the canyon, the descending unmistakable tones of canyon wren ring amongst the red walls. Day complete, tomorrow we say hello once again.

The Corner- aka Samish Unit West 90
A refuge for wintering avifauna and a respite from the weight of a heavy world. Evening dog walks with a well of grief, a single lens, lots of slow shutters, and a desire to feel the forces of nature. Sharing seems like the right thing to do.
Thinking about making a run of prints. Give me a ✌🏼 if you might be interested. Much love ❤️

Grampians, Aus 2015.
An old friend, @wizfineron recently resurfaced here. A post of his had me daydreaming and remembering a trip to the other side of the world nearly a decade ago. An era of simpler times, budding friendships, endless travel and the idea that the singular thread of rock climbing can bring so many of us so close for a lifetime, filled my brain and completely distracted me for a few days.
Reflections:
1: Wiz exposed on Groove Train
2: Pulling rope on the BIG last clip of GT. The equippers of these routes would leave massive runouts between bolts. Scarcity? Ego? Or perhaps to ward off FA suiters?
3: Sulphuric-crested cockatoos (loud AF)
4: Van life and an Australian Milkyway
5: Sound up here as @alexandermegos feeds out more slack for a victory whip.

Chum Salmon return to freshwater. I’m currently obsessed with this wonder and have been searching out streams to witness these final migrations from the sea. Turns out it’s a big year for Chum.
Also known as “Dog Salmon” Slide 3 shows the teeth that form along with the kype during freshwater metamorphosis.
I’m sure most are familiar with the story but Anadromous salmonoids are responsible for one of -if not- the largest cross ecosystem transits of nutrients on earth. 🤓 🤯
