The Buck-Moon Hawk
Contextually, I’ve been going through a lot lately. A whole lot. I feel like this has become of a catch phrase of mine, but this time of the year is always rough for me – for a lot of reasons that I won’t delve into. I’m acutely aware of how my emotions are tied to… Read more “The Buck-Moon Hawk”

And when I do get depressed and suicidal, I know what to do with it because I climb.” Some people have… Read more “The Climbing Addiction Pt. II”
The Climbing Addiction
I was at work earlier this spring, helping a gentleman decide on a pair of climbing shoes. He was in the market for something aggressive, as he was leveling up in his climbing. He was a bit older, I’d say close to his late 30s – though it’s tough to say with a mask, and… Read more “The Climbing Addiction”
