Climbing is fun they said. Just reach for the holds they said. Being 5 foot short is a lifestyle, I guess. Reachy starts make you *emotionally taller.* Relatable?
Thanks Quinton for your beta attempts. If only they came with a step stool.
New shoe day! Was able to test the new @altrarunning Timp 6s before they came out. Big fan of the Timp line for the zero drop and roomy toe boxes. Ran through quite a bit on my Timp 5s, and it was good timing just as I was looking for a new shoe! New tread design, roomier fit, and still maintaining what makes it a good trail shoe.
Thanks to Altra and @expertvoice for setting me up as part of this free product testing program. #timp6ev #running #altrarunning #zerodrop #trailrunning
Sometimes we’re thriving, sometimes we’re just getting by - and that’s okay. Summer joy, friendship, and those unscripted moments recharge us in the ways that matter most, while reminding us what this community is all about. These connections make sure that when we need support, we’ve got each other. 💛
Post-@queersontherocks meetup hangs, soaking up the good weather while it lasts. ☀️

Recovery's been kind of the theme lately. 🤕 The better we restore, the easier it is to train. Slowing down doesn't mean giving up. Sometimes we need reminders and that's ok.
Whether in the gym or at home, the 2nd gen version of this Hyperice x2 Knee really steps it up. Been testing this for a few weeks thanks to @hyperice and @expertvoice as part of this free product testing program and it's some kind of awesome. Endurance sport pain and discomfort so much more manageable!

CFP Chicago has been quietly incubating and figuring out new ways to bring our climbing community together and keep the movement strong. We hope you’re boycotting and participating in the global boycott every Thursday.
In the meantime, here’s a special highlight of the amazing @ninjatengu who is a lead organizer with CFP Chicago.
We’re so grateful to work with Matt and be supported by them at every level. 💫
Snippets of the Women's & Non-Binary Climb Day at Devil's Lake (Tewakącąk by the Ho-Chunk, meaning "Sacred Lake").
A little rain and humidity isn't going to stop this community of climbers. It was a good long day of finding new heights, making new friends, and the reminder that it's also the people that surround us that can heighten an experience.
Thanks to @devilslakeclimbingguides and @arcteryxchicago for making this happen. It was such an honor and joy getting to capture this day and show how fantastic everyone is.
📍 this is Ho-Chunk (Winnebago), Fox, Sauk, Sioux, and Myaamia land

Life's been sort of loud lately. Have some softer moments in between from a few weeks ago. (or maybe I'm just tired) Sounds of climbing. These quiet spaces between the words give us the moments of pause. Sometimes they're the thing that turns something from just the blended passage of time into punctuated core memories. Thanks everyone for being a part of it.

It's really nice to see the fruits of labor from a good trail day. The hard work we put in reminds us how teamwork can strengthen not just the land, but our community too. Trail building helps us slow down, appreciate the earth beneath our feet, and give back to the places that bring us joy. 🌿
Feeling grateful to build and grow with @asianclimbingcollective Chicago and @rrgcc , made possible by support from @arcteryxchicago . Here’s to the connections we make and the spaces we care for together. This was such a a fun time! 💚
📍This work takes place on the ancestral lands of the Shawnee, Cherokee, Osage, and other Indigenous peoples.
