Some more Pine Creek photos from Drew Smith - he really captures the crag lifestyle well.
Photos: a few shots of me climbing on Reggae and getting ready to belay Josh on the route next to it, Heavy Metal (which had to be among the coolest 12a’s that I’ve climbed).

Drew Smith recently got these photos of me flashing Reggae, a really beautiful 5.13d (8b) in Pine Creek, Bishop. It was one of the highlights of our recent family climbing trip to Bishop. I tried to visit one route that I really cared about every other day (and played with

Sanni is making her triumphant return to outdoor climbing! Epic mountains, sleeping baby, relatively airy V1 slab - what’s not to love?!? So psyched to be back outside with the whole family! (The bigger baby was playing elsewhere, but she came too.)

Eliza Earle took these insanely cute pics of our 2 year old and her new baby sister. So far the two year old is pretty indifferent, but I’m sure they’ll be best buds eventually.

We welcomed a new member to the family last month - baby Alice! Sanni has posted more about it and has more updates on her IG, but the concise version is that it’s been a wild ride so far.
But Alice is thriving (she gained a double chin her first week) so all is well.

This season’s final episode of Planet Visionaries is live! I had a nice chat with Rodrigo Medellín, the “batman of Mexico”. We recorded it on Halloween, our first themed episode - bats on Halloween (tho it was a coincidence…). Listen at this link..
