What are your biggest personal goals? . Something I used to think about often (when rock climbing held a more prominent place in my life) was this idea that one day I’d be a 5.10 traditional leader. . ‘Trad’ climbing means placing removable (pro)tection in features of the rock as you progress upwards. If you fall, your rope which is connected to these pieces of gear (ideally) catches your fall, preventing you from plummeting to the ground. . 5.10 used to feel unattainable to me but I didn’t stop climbing just because my goal felt difficult to achieve. I kept working at improving my strength, technique, and even read some books including ‘The Rock Warriors Way’, which helped me refine my mental focus while climbing. . Long story short, I eventually achieved my goal, but that was years ago now. Just this season I managed to onsight (climb cleanly without falling or resting) a route at the 5.11 grade. . What once felt impossible is now achievable. The moral of this story? Set goals. Be bold. Don’t let a number or title stop your from trying. We’re all capable of amazing things if we work hard and put in the time. . Vanlife is kind of the same. What once seemed a long-shot is now a reality. And we’re just getting started. .

It was Wednesday and it was rad
June is ending wet
Trip to eleven mile canyon. Fishing Was on fire with small Baetis patterns. The views were better. Weather was gnarly, high winds and snow overnight. #southplatte #rainbowtrout #mountains #colorado #browntrout #flyfishing #nature #getoutside (at Lake George, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxIMXOOjySh/?igshid=1mo7euz6vo36n
Some documentation of the first camping trip of the year. Spent a night on the South Platte and fished Cheesman canyon the following day. Fishing was tough with plenty of people around, and the rainbows seemed more interested in staking out territory than eating. Still a great trip despite getting rained on at camp. Needless to say, I’m Looking forward to spring. #flyfishing #colorado #cheesmancanyon #southplatte #rainbowtrout #browntrout #nature (at Deckers, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvFBx57jlQp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qjhjhrpulzh6
