Our current @dirtbagstateofmindpodcast episode features a conversation between our host @lukemehall_writer and @jimhurst from the new Dark Wizard docuseries about Dean Potter.
Dean was a climbing hero to many of us who came of age in the early 2000s and it was a pleasure to speak with Jim and hear about their adventures together.

A visual metaphor for the complexities of making The Dark Wizard. Brad Lynch and Dean Potter hold the weight as Nick Rosen and Pete Mortimer make sure the camera crane is in perfect balance. This was for the first Base line exits. @foodforthewild@senderfilms@deanpotter #thedarkwizard
@deanpotter was a kind, hilarious, and giving friend. His goodness vastly outweighed tensions created by his insane amount of motivation and energy. Time spent with Dean was truly magical and I’m thankful for all of the experiences we shared. #thedarkwizard

The southern edge of Saturday morning’s aurora over the La Sal mountains. I edited this photo to be an honest representation of what I saw from my viewpoint above Paradox Valley. It involved considerable desaturation and reduction of contrast.
