I love all that this picture represents. The rope is so much more than simply a piece of material. It represents a bond between two brothers not bound by blood but by a common love of Jesus and the mountains. In the background is Longs Peak which is the goal of our climbing summer. It has been in the back of my mind for months and at the forefront throughout all of my training. The Diamond is the goal, Lumpy is a beautiful means to that end. #tradisrad #climbing #LumpyRidge (at Rocky Mountain National Park)
