VNasty’s Socks
This just in from VNasty: “Awwww-yeah…snapped this photo of my socks in action last weekend. Todd K. and I topped out at Lover’s Leap after climbing Traveler’s Buttress, and I was stoked to pop out of my climbing shoes and into the cozy comfort of the TBSers.” -M »
Leadville 2010 Video and More
Well, I finally got around to cutting up the video and stills I had from Leadville and you all can enjoy a few strange images. The big difference this year over previous was that I got to the starting line and was surprisingly relaxed… That’s the word for it. Not that the feeling would... »

pack whore
And who in the bike/ski/mountain/travel blogging field isn’t?! I’ve been (i won’t say struggling) getting by with less than optimal pack setups for adventuring and photography/video.
