Shooting for fitness is always a cool exercise in showing movement and the elements of human form. . . . #fitness #cardio #skitraining #fitlife #fitnessislife #motivation #movement #trucallenmedia #humanform #elemental #sequence #action #biomechanics

It's been an amazing summer - it would seem that the Northwest, despite the bad weather reputation, is an endless playground with lifetimes of places to explore. So much to do and not enough life. @ericvhirst is one of those silent crushers I've been fortunate enough to meet and climb with over the last few years. A really nice guy who's so chill, you wonder if they're really that nice, or if they're going to kill you in your sleep if you piss them off. . . . #bouldering #climbinglife #climbingphotographer #climbing #trucallenmedia #boulderlove #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #washington #pnw #pnwlife #northwestisbest #bluesky #brownrock #nwandesite

Sandstone compression in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Sounds dreamy.

A big thank you to @rockandicemag for the opportunity to show the unique relationship Washington climbers have developed with the state Dept. of Natural Resources. Spearheaded by Joe Sambataro (NW Dir of the Access Fund) and fellow Board Members of the Washington Climbers Coalition worked to ensure that the Gold Bar Boulders were protected during the timber management plan and an oasis of trees were left around each boulder. . @jayshultis (facing) and @eric_s_pfeiffer on Midnight Lichen.

One from a shoot with @geros3000 that featured Gabe in the August Climbing Magazine "The Givers" by @jabegg. A fantastic story highlighting some of the unsung heroes and stewards in the sport of climbing. . . . @climbingmagazine #climbing #rockclimbing #climbingphotographer #bouldering #sandstone #pnw #washingtonclimbing #forest #evergreen #trucallenmedia #stewardship #deepwoods #firstascents #scrub #mossyrock

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Einstein clearly wasn't a climber...or a photographer. Brian Doyle gets insane on a rock climb. @therealclimbtacoma . . . #bouldering #climbing #climbingphotographer #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #cave #trucallenmedia #rockclimbing #climbingphotography #pnwlife #washington

Summer and water fountains. It seems like forever since I've seen a working park water fountain. They're as nostalgic as payphones. . . . #summertime #waterfountain #parksandrec #nostalgia #trucallenmedia #parks

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. ~Helen Keller. One person I'd visit if I had a time machine. John Lyman on Moonstone, another fine adventure in paradise. Split Rock, WA.

Inspired by our planet. A long morning of traveling for a single roundtrip day. Probably a good time to start a 52 week project. #52weeksoflifeinperspective . . . #trucallenmedia #newproject #blackandwhitephoto #collage #earth #planet #life #colors #patterns #inspired #lines #shadows #elements #travel #sky #somethingdifferent

Psyched to get back down to Smith this fall for the American Alpine Club Craggin' Classic! Looking forward to climbing, shooting in perfect temps...and partying with good people! The venerable @jonathansiegrist crusing just another warmdown at end of a great day from the last Smith Rock Craggin' Classic. . . . #climbing #rockclimbing #smithrock #americanalpineclub #oregon #coolertemps #climbingphotographer #cragginclassic #goodtimes #trucallenmedia #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbinglife #rock

Sometimes it takes a visit from the past to remind us of where we were and where we've come. We can choose to be what we've become, or we can say fuck that. Naturally, a visit from east coast buddy @jayshultis ended up reminding me of the love/hate of closed-crimping, and a fiery reentry fresh off the injury-wagon. Thanks for the shot Jay. . . . #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #climbingismypassion #climbing #nwgranite #pnwlife #trucallenmedia #northwest #loveandhate #strobist

Having an old friend come out to visit over the last week made for some excellent reliving of memories and finding that drive I used to have over 10 years ago. Thanks for coming out and bringing the stoke @jayshultis. Looking forward to the next session! 📸jay sticking the crux move on Ares God of War. . . . #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #nwgranite #pnwlife #bouldering #aresgodofwar #rockclimbing #blackandwhitephoto #trucallenmedia

For just a couple short months of the year, the tables get turned and finding reprieve means Washington climbers migrate west of the Cascades for the cooler weather. Typically, the migration consists of western residents trading for the east to escape the 9.5 months gloomy skies and 50 inches of precipitation. East meets west here as @flailer George Hughbanks gets a refreshing dose of western beauty. . . . #northwest #nwgranite #riverside #bouldering #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #climbing #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #pnwlife #itshotashell #butthewateriscold #spokanestyle #westernwashington #eastmeetswest

Everyone's eating lunch and @geros3000 doesn't stop. That would be Gabe's life in a nutshell. Family, climbing, and work is all he focuses on. And he'll give you hella shit if you don't spotlessly clean your climbs (like this one) for the FA. . . . . #alifelessordinary #climbing #bouldering #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #climbingismypassion #nwandesite #pnwlife #northwest #washingtonstate

Googling "life is noisy" results: -Is modern life too noisy? -Living a quiet life in a noisy world -Hearing God when life is noisy -Life is noise -Noisy areas may reduce life expectancy, study shows This photo made me think of the quiet moments in climbing, with a backdrop of catherdral ceilings and stain glass.

Beautiful days in Washington State. These are the days that lure people to come to the Northwest, convincing them to believe it's paradise. And like the myth of the Siren's song, it crushes their spirit into oblivion when those 2 blissful months come to an end. @gorisb looking smooth as ever, moving into the last few moves of Slow Children, Index. . . #northwest #index #nwgranite #pnwlife #pnw #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #trucallenmedia #crackclimbing #tradclimbing #sunnydaysinthenw #americanflag #washingtonclimberscoalition @americanalpine @pmirope
